MLB Same Game Parlay Bets for Wednesday 6/12/24

Atlanta Braves at Baltimore Orioles

Ryan Mountcastle to Record 2+ Total Bases (-110)
Marcell Ozuna to Record 2+ Total Bases (+105)

Combined Odds: +293

The Atlanta Braves and Baltimore Orioles will both have inexperienced pitchers on the mound when they square off on Wednesday. Spencer Schwellenbach will make his third start for the Braves while Cade Povich is expected to be the starter for the Orioles.

Across his first two starts, Schwellenbach has posted a 4.16 SIERA, a 4.55 xFIP, and a 12.1% swinging strike rate. The 24-year-old pitcher for the Braves has given up three-plus earned runs and five hits in each of his first two starts despite failing to pitch more than five innings.

Although it's a small sample size, Schwellenbach is permitting a .531 wOBA, .750 SLG, and 2.57 WHIP to righties, compared to a .345 wOBA, .571 SLG, and 1.23 WHIP to lefties. With Schwellenbach showing reverse splits, Ryan Mountcastle makes sense as a batter to target from the Orioles.

Mountcastle is producing a solid .344 wOBA, .215 ISO, and 127 wRC+ against right-handed pitching this season. Even with Mountcastle hitting three homers in his last eight outings, he's being given +520 odds to hit a home run.

Povich struggled in his debut for Baltimore, giving up six earned runs and five hits -- with four walks -- in 5.1 innings of action. While Atlanta has been dismal at the plate recently, Marcell Ozuna has been a player we can trust this year.

Ozuna is logging a spectacular .431 wOBA, .538 SLG, and 182 wRC+ versus southpaws. The hard-hitting righty for the Braves has two-plus bases in four of his last five contests and is carrying +340 odds to hit a home run on Wednesday.

Pittsburgh Pirates at St. Louis Cardinals

Sonny Gray to Record 6+ Strikeouts (-260)
Masyn Winn to Record 2+ Total Bases (-110)
St. Louis Cardinals ML (-172)

Combined Odds: +257

It was a disappointing showing from Sonny Gray his last time out for the St. Louis Cardinals, allowing three earned runs and walking four batters in just 4.2 innings against the Colorado Rockies at home. Even with Gray giving up three-plus earned runs in back-to-back starts, he's in a prime bounce-back spot versus the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday.

Gray is still in the 77th percentile in xERA (3.18), 78th percentile in whiff rate (29.4%), and 94th percentile in strikeout rate (32.8%) through 11 starts. Meanwhile, the Pirates own the second-lowest wOBA (.283), third-lowest wRC+ (81), second-lowest ISO (.117), and fifth-highest strikeout rate (24.8%) when facing right-handed pitching.

Things haven't fared much better for Pittsburgh in the last 14 days, tallying the eighth-lowest wOBA (.284), eighth-lowest wRC+ (81), eighth-lowest ISO (.123), and the second-highest strikeout rate (25.5%) in that span. Despite his recent woes, Gray has achieved six-plus Ks in nine of his 11 appearances in 2024.

Bailey Falter is the projected starter for the Pirates, putting the right-handed bats of the Cardinals in an advantageous matchup. Masyn Winn has been leading off against left-handed pitchers recently, and he's totaled two-plus bases in four of his last six games.

Winn also leads all players on St. Louis' roster with 30-plus plate appearances versus lefties in wOBA (.354) and wRC+ (133). Despite Winn registering a formidable .229 ISO against southpaws, he is considered a longshot with +680 odds to hit a home run.

With Gray drawing the start for the Cardinals, we'll take St. Louis to secure the win at home over their NL Central foes. While the Cardinals have gone 4-6 in June thus far, they are 7-4 when Gray is on the bump while Falter owns just a 3-3 record in 12 starts.

New York Yankees at Kansas City Royals

Aaron Judge to Record 2+ RBIs (+190)
Juan Soto to Record a Run (-220)

Combined Odds: +236

The Kansas City Royals are expected to deploy Dan Altavilla as an opener on Wednesday before handing the ball over to Daniel Lynch versus the red-hot New York Yankees. Regardless of who is on the mound for the Royals, we'll want to continue riding the hot bat of Aaron Judge.

Since the start of May, Judge leads the majors in wOBA (.603), wRC+ (305), and ISO (.583) with a whopping 19 homers in that span. Against left-handed pitching, Judge is sporting a dominant .489 wOBA, .413 ISO, and 227 wRC+.

Pitching to Judge has been a fool's errand for opposing teams as he's recorded two-plus RBIs in eight of his last 11 games. There's a logical reason why Judge is holding +176 odds to hit a home run with three consecutive games with at least one homer.

Getting RBIs becomes a bit easier for Judge when he has an on-base machine like Juan Soto batting in front of him in the order. With Lynch expected to get the bulk of the work for the Royals, it's worth noting that Soto is posting a .416 wOBA, .242 ISO, 176 wRC+, and 14.7% walk rate versus left-handed pitchers this year.

Judge and Soto are tied for the most runs scored (52) on the Yankees thus far. Even with Soto dealing with a forearm injury recently, he's drawn multiple walks in four of his last five contests, and he's scored a run in eight of his last nine games.

We'll back the All-Star bats from New York on Wednesday following a 10-run performance against Kansas City on Tuesday.
