Parlay: KT Wiz VS Kia Tigers 2025-06-17
Best Same-Game Parlay: KT Wiz -1.5 Run Spread + Under 8.5 Total Runs
Odds: 3.366 (1.87 x 1.8)
Why This Works:
1. KT Wiz -1.5 Run Spread (1.87 at Bovada):
- The KT Wiz are heavy favorites (-1.5 runs) with a strong closer in Kim Seohyun (1.54 ERA, 18 saves). His control and dominance make covering the spread highly probable.
- The Kia Tigers, despite being underdogs, have a potent offense (6th in MLB in runs scored), but they’re facing a KBO team (KT Wiz) with a formidable pitcher in Seohyun.
2. Under 8.5 Total Runs (1.8 at Bovada):
- Kim Seohyun’s sub-2.00 ERA and the KT Wiz’s stingy pitching staff (led by their top closer) suggest a low-scoring game.
- The Kia Tigers’ offense, while strong in MLB, may struggle against KBO’s pitching depth. The 8.5 total is a high bar for a game featuring a dominant closer like Seohyun.
Key Stats:
- Kim Seohyun: 1.54 ERA, 18 saves in 35 games.
- KT Wiz’s implied total: 4.5 runs (based on 8.5 total).
- Kia Tigers’ MLB offense vs. KBO’s pitching: Potential mismatch.
Best Odds:
- Bovada offers the highest combined value (1.87 x 1.8).
- Avoid parlays with the Tigers (+1.5) or Over 8.5 (1.95), as they’re riskier given Seohyun’s dominance and the Tigers’ underdog status.
Final Verdict:
This parlay balances the KT Wiz’s spread edge with the Under’s value, leveraging Kim Seohyun’s elite performance and the Tigers’ potential offensive struggles. Stick to Bovada for optimal odds.
