MLB Parlay Today: Will CJ Abrams, Anthony Volpe Find Success on Thursday Night?
MLB Parlay Today: Will CJ Abrams, Anthony Volpe Find Success on Thursday Night?
Today we have a great MLB slate all day long. I decided to put together a hit parlay consisting of two legs, Anthony Volpe and CJ Abrams. These are my two favorite players to record a hit today. Both of these players are swinging hot bats and hit leadoff for their respective teams, so I like their chances to get on base.

One of the biggest reasons I like both of these players is I think they both see five or more plate appearances today which increases their chance of getting at least one base hit.
Anthony Volpe has had five or more plate appearances in five of his last six games and I expect that to be six of seven after today. Volpe is riding a 21-game hit streak which includes multi-hit games in five of his last seven games. The matchup he’ll have today is Patrick Sandoval who is a below average pitcher when it comes to batting average allowed. Sandoval ranks in the 38th percentile in expected batting average allowed this season. We saw Volpe get a hit off Sandoval in his last matchup against him and I think he makes it two games in a row tonight.
I also think we will see CJ Abrams have a great day at the plate against the Braves lefty, Ray Kerr. Abrams comes into today with seven hits in his last six games and I think he sees five or more plate appearances. When he sees five or more plate appearances, he has gotten a hit in 21 of 24 games this season. Abrams ranks in the 93rd percentile in expected batting average in 2024 and has hit lefties extremely well so far. He has a .367 batting average against them which gives me great confidence he can come through for us here. Additionally, Abrams has two or more hits in six of his last nine games against the Atlanta Braves, including four of the last five road games. Kerr has also allowed a .291 batting average so far this season which is above league average.
