Parlay: Over 6.5 runs + Soto over 0.5 runs + Thomas over 0.5 hits (+240)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 6.5 runs (-167):<\/strong> I backed the over as my best bet<\/a>, but I’ll trim a run off the standard line to make this a safer pick for the parlay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embed: #97327<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Against left-handed pitching this year, Cleveland finished seventh in SLG (.427) and eighth in wRC+ (114). So I think they’ll have a decent shot at putting up some runs against New York southpaw Carlos Rodon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Yankees’ offence wasn’t in its best form during the ALDS, but the Bronx Bombers have often shown out at home. The over is 46-35-2 (56.8%) at Yankee Stadium this year, per Team Rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four of six regular season matchups between these teams went over this number. The Guardians and Yankees combined to average 9.8 runs in those matchups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Soto over 0.5 runs (-139):<\/strong> Soto only scored once in the ALDS, but it wasn’t for a lack of trying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embed: #97328<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The AL runs leader reached base seven times in four games, but with a slumping Aaron Judge behind him, Soto struggled to make it around the diamond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s difficult to envision an extended slump for Judge, and I do expect Soto to continue putting himself in a position to score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The superstar outfielder has excellent numbers against Guardians starter Alex Cobb, batting 7-for-11 with two homers, a double and a walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, Soto has a .439 OBP in his career against righties. The opportunities will keep coming, and someone on the Yankees should be able to bring him around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thomas over 0.5 hits (-186):<\/strong> Fresh off the biggest hit of his life (I’m assuming), Thomas makes perfect sense in this SGP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embed: #97329<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former Blue Jays draftee smashed a grand slam off Cy-Young-to-be Tarik Skubal in the clinching game of the ALDS, which is a reminder of what Thomas can do against even the best lefty pitching on the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thomas will have the righty-on-lefty platoon advantage again tonight against Rodon. In his career, Thomas is batting .302 with an .880 OPS against lefties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the ALDS, Thomas cashed this bet in four of five games while going 6-for-19 (.316) at the plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
