Parlay: Tampa Bay Rays VS Detroit Tigers 2025-07-07

Same-Game Parlay Pick: Tampa Bay Rays Moneyline + Under 9 Runs
Odds: 3.30 (1.77 x 1.87)
Implied Probability: ~30.3%

Why This Works:
1. Tampa Bay Rays Moneyline (-136)
- The Rays are a strong moneyline favorite (59.2% win rate as favorites) with a 3.77 ERA (10th in MLB).
- Implied probability: 57.8% (100 / (136 + 100)).

Under 9 Runs (-110)
- Both teams have elite ERAs (Tigers: 3.46, Rays: 3.77), suggesting a low-scoring game.
- Best odds at 1.87 (FanDuel), translating to 53.5% implied probability.

Combined Edge:
- Rays’ strong pitching + Tigers’ stingy ERA = High under probability.
- Rays’ 59.2% win rate as favorites > 57.8% implied by the moneyline.
- Total implied probability for the parlay: 30.3% (1 / (1.77 x 1.87)).

Avoids Over/Under Parity:
- The over (1.95) and under (1.87) are nearly equal in implied probability (~51% each), but the under offers better value given the teams’ pitching strengths.

Bookmaker to Use: FanDuel (best under odds at 1.87).

Final Verdict:
This parlay leans on the Rays’ pitching dominance and the Tigers’ defensive prowess. If the Rays win and keep the game under 9 runs, the payout is 3.30x your stake. A smart, data-driven play for a low-risk, high-reward scenario.

Bonus Tip: If you’re feeling spicy, consider adding a prop like Junior Caminero <1.5 HRs (if available) to create a 3-leg parlay, but stick to the 2-leg for maximum value.
