The Subway Series wraps up on Sunday afternoon at Yankee Stadium, and if you’re new to same-game parlays, this is about as clean a spot as you’ll find all season to try one. The Yankees (85-63) host the Mets (69-79) at 1:35 PM ET, and New York’s crosstown rivals are sending out one of the best young arms in baseball in Cam Schlittler, who has been nothing short of dominant all year. On the other side, the Mets hand the ball to rookie right-hander Christian Scott, who’s shown flashes but hasn’t had Schlittler’s consistency.
A same-game parlay (SGP) just means you’re combining multiple bets from one single game into one ticket — if every leg hits, the payout multiplies. It’s a great way to build bigger odds out of a game you feel good about without needing to find four separate games. Here’s a beginner-friendly four-leg SGP for Sunday’s finale that leans into what should be a Yankees-favored afternoon.
Leg 1: Yankees Moneyline
The Yankees are heavy favorites here, and for good reason. New York enters Sunday at 85-63 on the year and has won plenty of series against their in-state rivals this season. Schlittler has been arguably the best story of the Yankees’ rotation in 2026, sitting at 13-6 with a sparkling 2.01 ERA and 220 strikeouts on the season — numbers that put him near the top of the American League leaderboard.
Christian Scott, by contrast, carries a 4-4 record with a 3.81 ERA for the Mets, solid for a young arm but a clear step below what Schlittler is doing right now. New York is currently priced around -184 on the moneyline, which is a lot of chalk to lay, but it reflects a real gap between these two rotations on this particular Sunday.
Leg 2: Cam Schlittler Over 6.5 Strikeouts
This is the leg that makes the whole parlay go. Schlittler has punched out 220 batters across his 2026 season, an average north of seven strikeouts per start, and he’s coming off a run of starts where he’s missed bats at an elite clip. Facing a Mets lineup that ranks middle-of-the-pack in strikeout rate against right-handed pitching, the over on 6.5 strikeouts (priced around -148 at most books) lines up well with what he’s done all year.
The Mets’ offense has also cooled off in September, and Yankee Stadium’s mound tends to play well for power arms like Schlittler’s mid-to-upper-90s fastball. If he’s going five-plus innings, which he typically does, this number should be very much in reach.
Leg 3: Aaron Judge Over 0.5 Home Runs
No Yankees parlay is complete without factoring in Aaron Judge. The home run prop sits at 0.5, meaning the “over” simply means Judge goes deep at least once. He’s priced around +200 for that to happen, which is standard for a single-game home run prop, but Judge is one of the most dangerous power threats in the sport and gets an extra edge here facing a rookie starter in Scott who’s still finding his footing against elite lineups. Yankee Stadium’s short porch in right field has always played to Judge’s favor as a right-handed pull hitter, and this is exactly the kind of get-right spot he’s capitalized on before.
Leg 4: Under 7.5 Total Runs
With Schlittler on the mound limiting damage and missing bats at a high rate, and the Mets’ offense having scuffled for stretches of September, the under on the game total (currently sitting around 7.5) is the leg tying this parlay together. Even accounting for the Yankees’ lineup doing some scoring of its own, Schlittler’s presence should keep this from turning into a track meet. Books have this priced close to a coin flip around -110, but the recent form for both starters favors a lower-scoring affair than the raw run totals suggest.
The Full Parlay
Stack these four legs — Yankees moneyline, Cam Schlittler over 6.5 strikeouts, Aaron Judge over 0.5 home runs, and the under 7.5 total runs — and you’re looking at a parlay that plays into everything pointing toward a Yankees-controlled afternoon at the Stadium. Before locking anything in, always double check live MLB odds since lines can shift right up to first pitch, and if you’re new to betting math, running your parlay through a betting calculator is a smart way to see exactly what your ticket pays before you place it. Each leg here stands on its own merit, which is exactly what you want when stacking a same-game parlay rather than just picking longshots for a bigger number.
