If you are new to same-game parlays, the concept is simple: you combine multiple bets from the same game into one wager, and the legs need to all hit for you to win. The payout is higher than any single bet because you are stringing multiple outcomes together, and the best same-game parlays are built around legs that make sense together. Tonight’s Reds-Yankees game at Yankee Stadium is a perfect example of how to build a logical SGP, with three legs that reinforce each other based on what we know about the starting pitchers and the matchup.
The Yankees are 45-28 on the season and host the Reds at 7:05 PM ET. Cam Schlittler starts for New York, and the combination of his dominant 1.82 ERA, a shaky Reds rotation, and a Yankees lineup built for big innings makes this one of the more attractive same-game setups on Friday’s board.
The Yankees enter as -270 moneyline favorites, meaning sportsbooks believe they win this game roughly 73 percent of the time. When you are building a same-game parlay, anchoring with the favorite makes sense as a foundation leg. It does not add much to the combined payout on its own, but it connects logically to the rest of the parlay. The Yankees are at home, they have the better starting pitcher in Schlittler, and the Reds come in with Rhett Lowder on the mound carrying a 4.60 ERA.
The main reason to include the moneyline as a leg rather than betting it straight is that it becomes positively correlated to the other two legs. When the Yankees win, it is generally because Schlittler pitched well and their lineup produced. That same chain of events helps the other legs.

Adding Schlittler’s strikeout prop into the SGP is where the parlay starts to make real structural sense. Schlittler is averaging 6.4 strikeouts per appearance this season across 15 starts, and he is holding opponents to a .195 batting average. Cincinnati ranks among the most strikeout-prone lineups against right-handed pitching this season.
Here is how the legs connect: when the Yankees win (Leg 1), it is often because Schlittler pitched a quality start. A quality start from Schlittler with his current stuff means 6 or 7 innings, which gives him plenty of time to surpass 6.5 strikeouts. You can shop this line at DraftKings or FanDuel, where the over is typically priced around -128. The correlation between the Yankees winning and Schlittler going deep into the game with a high strikeout count is the engine of this parlay.
In a game where the Yankees win and their starter dominates through the rotation, Aaron Judge will see quality at-bats deep into the contest. Judge enters Friday averaging 2.93 total bases per game this season with 214 total bases in 73 games, a rate that consistently clears the 1.5 threshold. Against Rhett Lowder, a right-hander carrying a 4.60 ERA, Judge’s ability to drive the ball for extra bases is among the highest-probability outcomes on the board tonight.
This is the leg that provides the payout upside. It is also the most correlated leg of the three: when the Yankees score runs and Schlittler goes deep, Judge is batting in a lineup that is producing extra-base contact throughout the game. The 1.5 total bases bar is clearable with a double or two singles, and Judge’s season numbers suggest he clears it at a well above-average rate.

These three legs work together because they are all grounded in the same core outcome: Cam Schlittler has a strong start, the Yankees win, and their lineup produces. When that happens, all three legs cash.
Build this SGP on FanDuel, DraftKings, or BetMGM and check the combined odds before placing. Same-game parlay odds vary by book and are adjusted for correlation, so the price may differ across platforms. A reasonable estimate for a three-leg parlay at these individual prices would typically land somewhere in the +200 to +350 range, but confirm the exact combined odds at your sportsbook before placing.
