MLB Same Game Parlay Odds & Picks: Braves vs. Mets

• Leg 1: Over 8.5 (-106)
• Leg 2: Taijun Walker over 4.5 strikeouts (-144)
• Leg 3: Austin Riley to record an RBI (+130)

With these separated by just a couple of games, this is an important series in the NL East.

The Braves have stormed back over the last couple of months and have erased a double-digit lead to contention for the division.

Ian Anderson will get the start, and after an impressive sophomore season with a 3.95 ERA and nine wins, he has struggled this year with a 4.99 ERA coming into today. He’s lost some movement to his fastball, and you see the effects going from a -13 run value with the pitch in 2021 to a +6 this season. The big reason he’s matched his nine wins from last year is thanks to the Braves lineup that gives him an average of 5.89 runs star, which is top five in the league.

New York will have Taijuan Walker on the mound, and after ten seasons in the league, he’s having a breakout season.

He’s getting excellent movement on his fastball with a 66% perfect break above average, and his splitter has undoubtedly become his best pitch as he has a 28.3% whiff rate, 26.3% strikeout rate, and a -14 run value.

The Mets have the best average and wRC+ since July 18, and while the Braves are too far behind, you have to back this offense against a struggling Anderson.

What are Player Props?
Player props refer to wagers that bettors can make based on player performance in a specific game. The majority of player props are built around the most common statistical benchmarks for a specific sport such as yards and touchdowns in football. Most player props are straight over/under plays that open at or near -110 and are adjusted based on where the money lands.
