Best Same Game Parlay: Yankees Win + Over 8.5 Runs
Odds: ~3.03 (1.53 x 1.98)

Why This Parlay?
1. Yankees Moneyline (1.53):
- The Yankees are a 63.9% favorite when favored this season (39-61 as favorites).
- Their 3.61 ERA and 109 HRs (2nd in MLB) suggest dominance against weak Angels pitching.
- Clarke Schmidt (Yankees starter) faces a team that ranks 29th in strikeouts and has a 4.82 ERA.

1. Over 8.5 Runs (1.98):
   - The Angels’ 1.495 WHIP (3rd-worst) and 4.82 ERA make them prone to giving up runs.
   - The Yankees’ 3rd-ranked offense (5.8 R/G) and the Angels’ 100 HRs (4th) suggest a high-scoring game.
   - Home-field advantage at Yankee Stadium (Yankees’ .639 winning percentage at home).

Key Stats to Watch:
- Yankees’ Offense: 109 HRs (2nd), 3rd in MLB in runs scored.
- Angels’ Defense: 29th in strikeouts, 3rd-worst WHIP (1.495).
- Pitching Matchup: Clarke Schmidt (3.61 ERA) vs. Jose Soriano (4.82 ERA).

Avoid These Legs:
- Angels Moneyline (2.55–2.62): Unlikely to cover as underdogs.
- Under 8.5 Runs (1.83–1.85): Weak Angels pitching and high-powered Yankees offense make this a risky leg.

Where to Bet:
- DraftKings offers the best Over 8.5 Runs (1.98) and Yankees ML (1.52).
- Bovada has the lowest Over line (1.95), but DraftKings’ combo yields higher combined odds.

Final Verdict:
This parlay capitalizes on the Yankees’ elite offense and the Angels’ porous pitching. The Yankees’ 3.61 ERA vs. the Angels’ 4.82 ERA, plus their 109 HRs vs. the Angels’ 100 HRs, make this a high-probability, high-reward play.

Bet Recommendation:
- Yankees ML (1.53) + Over 8.5 Runs (1.98) = ~3.03 combined odds (33.3% implied probability).
- Stake: $25 for a $75.75 payout (risk $25 to win $50.75).
