Parlay: Oakland Athletics VS Kansas City Royals 2025-06-14

What a delightful matchup! After analyzing the provided information, I've come up with a same-game parlay bet that I think has a good chance of paying off.

Same Game Parlay Bet:

Oakland Athletics (+1.5): The Athletics have won 6-4 on Friday, and they're looking for their first winning road series in nearly six weeks. They have a decent chance of keeping it close, especially considering the Royals' struggles at home (12 losses in last 15 games).
2. Over 9.5 Runs: Both teams have shown some offensive capabilities, with the Athletics scoring the 13th-most runs in the league this season (4.3 runs per game). The Royals have averaged 3.3 runs per game, but they've struggled to score lately (3.1 runs per game since May 9). However, with two teams that can put up some runs, I expect a decent scoring game.
3. Brent Rooker to hit a home run: Rooker is 3-for-7 against Michael Lorenzen, which is a small sample size, but it indicates he has some success against the Royals' starter. As an underdog, the Athletics' slugger might be a good bet to go deep.

Odds:

Oakland Athletics (+1.5): around 1.66-1.69
Over 9.5 Runs: around 1.87-1.95
Brent Rooker to hit a home run: around 3.50-4.00 (varies by book)

Parlay Odds: approximately 6.50-7.50 (depending on the book and exact odds)

This parlay offers a nice boost in odds while still being relatively reasonable. The Athletics have a good chance of keeping the game close, and with some runs expected, the over might cash. Adding Rooker's home run prop gives us a bit of a boost. Of course, there's always risk involved, but I think this parlay has a good balance of value and feasibility.

Keep in mind that odds may vary across different books, so be sure to shop around for the best prices. Good luck with your wager!
