It's a great day to find a winner, so let's get three in my MLB same-game parlay tonight.
On a shallow Thursday night slate, I'm honing in on the Giants vs Diamondbacks late matchup. Check out the three legs for my Orioles vs Twins same-game parlay for April 16th below:
Diamondbacks vs Giants Same-Game Parlay: April 18th
The Game: DBacks vs Giants - 9:45 p.m. ET
| Bet | Odds |
|---|---|
| Giants Monleyine | -170 |
| Lourdes Gurriel Jr. under 1.5 hits | -250 |
| Lamonte Wade Jr. over 0.5 hits | -190 |
| Overall | +200 |
Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 1: Giants Moneyline
The key for me here is the pitching matchup. Logan Webb is a legit ace who is currently pitching like it and he owns the Diamondbacks. Webb has allowed just one homer in 125 at-bats against current DBacks, allowing just a .724 collective OPS, too. On the other side, Arizona starter Ryne Nelson has allowed a .957 OPS to current Giants hitters.
I also broke down more why I like the Giants on the Sports Gambling Podcast's MLB show last night:

Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 2: Gurriel Jr. under 1.5 Hits
Logan Webb has been pretty good against the entire DBacks lineup, but he's been great against Lourdes Gurriel Jr. in particular. Webb has held Gurriel to just three hits in 12 career at-bats, and only one extra-base knock.
The odds Lourdes gets two hits tonight seems pretty low. Especially when he's hitting just .244 against right-handed pitching this year.
Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 3: Wade Jr. over 0.5 hits
On the flip side, Lamonte Wade Jr. has had pretty good success in a limited sample against Ryne Nelson. The Giants OF/DH is hitting .333 in his career against Nelson.
That's not terribly unusual for Wade, as he rakes against most right-handed pitching. So far this year, he's hitting .372 against righties in 50 plate appearances.
