### Top Parlay: Hawks -1.5 Run Line + Under 6.5 Runs
Odds: +341 (Bovada: Hawks -1.5 @ 2.45 + Under 6.5 @ 1.8)
Why This Works:
1. Hawks -1.5 Run Line:
- SoftBank’s pitching staff leads NPB with a 1.88 team ERA and has allowed 2+ runs in just 3 of their last 10 games.
- Moineiro’s 1.26 ERA (league-low) and 89 strikeouts (league-high) make him a near-unbeatable starter.
- Bovada offers the best price on the Hawks (-1.5) at +245 (converted to decimal: 2.45).
2. Under 6.5 Runs:
- The Hawks’ pitching and Hiroshima’s 5th-worst offense (3.98 runs/game) create a low-scoring matchup.
- SoftBank’s starters have held opponents to 6.5+ runs in only 2 of their last 11 starts.
- Bovada’s Under 6.5 @ 1.8 is the most competitive line (others: 1.74–1.91).
Total Implied Probability: (1/2.45) * (1/1.8) = 22.3% → +341 (risk $100 to win $341).
