It’s a small eight-game slate on the diamond Thursday, June 11, and my trio of MLB same-game parlay predictions include a pair of afternoon tilts.
The SGP MLB picks begin with the Detroit Tigers having a solid day at the dish against Minnesota Twins righty Zebby Matthews and conclude in the evening with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Pittsburgh Pirates lighting up the PNC Park scoreboard again tonight.

Twins vs Tigers SGP: Matthews humbled in Motor City
The Detroit Tigers have flipped the script in June with a second-ranked wOBA supported by a fifth-ranked xwOBA while scoring 6.4 runs per game, and I’m anticipating them giving Minnesota Twins righty Zebby Matthews a tough time this afternoon.
Matthews has surrendered a 16.0 barrel percentage with an abysmal 2.14 K/BB rate across his past three starts, after all.
Turning to Detroit second baseman Gleyber Torres, he’s picked up a hit in five of seven games since returning to action with a healthy .438 wOBA and 40.9% squared-up contact rate.
I’d play this SGP down to +280.

Cardinals vs Mets SGP: Stars tee off at Citi
The wind is forecast to be blowing out at Citi Field on Thursday afternoon, so I’m targeting three of the best hitters taking the field to fill up the box score.
New York Mets star Juan Soto has teed off on right-handed pitchers to the tune of a .418 wOBA and .289 ISO over the past three years, while St. Louis Cardinals batters Jordan Walker and Alec Burleson have been consistently dangerous in the middle of the lineup and check in with a respective OPS of .903 and .973 against righties in 2026.
The breakeven point for this SGP is +325.
- Time: 1:10 p.m. ET
- Where to watch: SNY, CARD

Dodgers vs Pirates SGP: More runs at PNC
The Los Angeles Dodgers have the highest wOBA against righties this season and the highest overall xwOBA over the past 30 days, so I’m anticipating Pittsburgh Pirates righty Mitch Keller’s hands to be full Thursday.
Keller doesn’t have a single positive pitch value across his past five starts, and Los Angeles lefty Justin Wrobleski’s 2.62 ERA is well below his 4.42 xFIP, so the Pirates are positioned to also chip in offensively.
Finally, Pittsburgh outfielder Bryan Reynolds is dialed in at the dish with a .339 batting average and 48.9% hard-hit rate across his past 17 games, and he also sports an elite .325 average and .433 wOBA against lefties for the season.
This SGP is playable down to +325.
