Best MLB Same Game Parlay Bet for Friday 6/27/25

Major League Baseball is a sport perfectly suited for same game parlays.

Not only do we have abundant options across the traditional markets and props for both pitchers and hitters, but plenty of those bets correlate well. Given parlays require all legs to hit, that cohesion is key.

Which SGP stands out to me tonight?

Let's dig into the Chicago Cubs at the Houston Astros and lay out where I'm seeing value in FanDuel Sportsbook's MLB betting odds.

Today's Best MLB SGP for Cubs at Astros

Leg 1: Christian Walker to Hit a Home Run (+500)

Rookie righty Cade Horton has some decent numbers for the Cubs, but this lines up as a solid matchup for Christian Walker.

Horton is showing reverse splits in a small sample to begin his career with right-handed hitters amassing a 39.6% hard-hit rate, 41.5% fly-ball rate and 1.53 homers per nine innings against him.

Walker's first campaign with the Astros has been a disappointment thus far as his .284 wOBA is well off the .347 wOBA he posted from 2022 to 2024. But he's still sporting a 44.9% fly-ball rate, and his 10.8% homer-to-fly-ball rate should rise over time as he put up a 16.5% homer-to-fly-ball rate across the last three seasons.

6 of Walker's 10 jacks this year have come at home, and I like him to add to his tally today.

Leg 2: Under 10.5 Runs (-275)

We touched on Horton a bit above, and the rook is showcasing swing-and-miss stuff en route to an 11.5% swinging-strike rate. He had a stellar 30.6% K rate in 29 Triple-A innings before getting called up, so this is a guy who can miss bats. He's been improving, too, giving up two or fewer earned runs in four of his past six outings.

Houston is turning to Brandon Walter, a rookie of their own. Walter struggled in a cup of coffee with the Boston Red Sox in 2023, but he looks like a new guy this time around. Through 23 2/3 MLB frames this season, he's pitched to a 25.3% strikeout rate, 12.0% swinging-strike rate and 2.67 SIERA.

Once Walter and Horton are out of the game, the bullpens should be able to have success. Over the last 30 days, Houston's relievers rank third in xFIP (3.34) and the Chicago 'pen checks in ninth (3.88).

The total for this game is listed at 8.5 runs. I'm taking an alternate total to give us two extra runs of wiggle room, and with a homer pick for the first leg, I'm fine having -275 odds for the second leg.

Leg 3: Ian Happ to Record a Hit (-200)

Similar to what I just said in the previous sentence, since we have a +500 leg already, we don't need to be going out of our way to hunt for bets that will significantly inflate the overall SGP odds. We can play it safer, which leads me to Ian Happ to record a hit.

With the Cubs on the road, Chicago's leadoff man has a chance to get at least five plate appearances, and he's in the midst of a nice season. Happ has slugged his way to a .336 wOBA and .349 expected wOBA. He's red-hot this month, as well, with a .375 wOBA in June.

Happ has a knock in seven of his last eight games.
