Saturday always means a full MLB schedule, making it the perfect time to have fun with some parlays. We decided to put together two different parlays for your consideration. The first is a two-leg parlay using common betting markets from two different games. The other is a four-leg same-game parlay in which we really put our betting skills to the test. For today’s best, we’re using odds from DraftKings Sportsbook, which is giving new users $200 in bonus bets after they sign up and place an initial $5 bet.

The key to this pick is the fact that both teams rank near the bottom in total runs scored. The Nats are averaging just under 3.5 runs per game while Miami is scoring 3.3 runs per game. The Marlins have also stayed under the run total in four straight games, scoring just four total runs in those games, including a 3-1 loss to Washington on Friday. Likewise, the under has hit in seven of Washington’s last nine games.
Meanwhile, this is a rather underrated pitching matchup. Young lefty Mitchell Parker starts for the Nationals after allowing just two runs on seven hits over 12 innings across his first two career starts. Those starts came against the Astros and Dodgers, so he’s no fluke. For Miami, Edward Cabrera takes the mound with a 3.27 ERA over his first two starts. He’s struck out 17 in 11 innings, meaning he should have the stuff to stifle a sluggish Washington lineup that’s scored seven total runs in its last four games.
When in doubt, always bet against the White Sox, especially when they’re coming off a win, which they are. While the Rays have been spiraling lately, Aaron Civale should be able to help them get back on track. Meanwhile, Chicago’s Jonathan Cannon owns a 7.27 ERA after his first two starts. The kicker is that the White Sox are 4-22 with 16 of those 22 losses coming by multiple runs. The season-long trends say that the Rays are going to win this game comfortably.

As the odds indicate, this is the safest part of this parlay. Cease has hit at least seven strikeouts in four straight starts, so getting to six should be easy for him. If you want to bump up the parlay a little, this is the spot to do it because the Phillies have multiple hitters who tend to strike out a lot (looking at you Kyle Schwarber). But we’ll play it safe because this is a four-leg parlay that only requires Cease to get to six strikeouts.
Suarez is also a safe bet to amass a healthy strikeout total in this game. The lefty has at least four strikeouts in all five of his starts, so that’s where the floor is for him. He’s also hit eight strikeouts in two of his last three games. That makes us think this will be a safe total, which is what we want in a big parlay.
At the moment, Turner is the safest pick the Phillies have to get a hit. He’s batting .333 on the season and has at least one hit in 14 of his last 15 games. While Turner has limited at-bats against Cease, he's 1 for 3 against San Diego's starter. However, he's been too hot not to think he can manage one hit on Saturday.
Profar isn't an obvious candidate, but he’s batting .293 and is putting together a solid season. He doesn’t have a streak like Turner, but Profar has a hit in four of his last five games. In 10 at-bats against Suarez, Profar has three hits, all doubles, so he tends to make good contact against him and should be able to manage a hit.
