- High-Scoring Projection
- The SportsLine model predicts 9.7 combined runs, just shy of the 10.0 total. With Soroka’s 4.70 ERA and Boston’s potent offense (Wilyer Abreu, .261/.385/.532), the Over 10.0 has value.
- Implied Probability: 1 / 1.95 ≈ 51.3% (DraftKings’ best line).
- Correlation Check
- Boston’s offense (4.8 runs/game) and Washington’s (4.5 runs/game) suggest a high-scoring game. Giolito’s 4.76 ERA in interleague play vs. Soroka’s 5.11 ERA in 2025 adds to the Over’s appeal.
Key Stats & Context
- Boston’s Offense: 4.8 runs/game (12th MLB), Abreu’s 21 HRs in 2025.
- Washington’s Offense: 4.5 runs/game (15th MLB), James Wood’s .300/.385/.550 slash line.
- Pitcher Matchup: Giolito (3.99 ERA) vs. Soroka (4.70 ERA).
How to Bet
- Bookmaker: DraftKings (best combined odds).
- Stakes: Bet $10 for a potential $376 return (1.93 * 1.95 * $10).
- Rationale: Boston’s slight edge in pitching and the model’s 9.7-run projection make this a low-risk, high-reward parlay.
Final Verdict: A smart, data-driven parlay that leverages Boston’s pitching and the Nationals’ offensive firepower. DraftKings’ best lines maximize value. 🎯
