The MLB postseason continues on Tuesday with a pair of NLDS matchups between the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets and the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers. With a loaded day of playoff baseball on deck, let's spice it up even more with a juicy Same Game Parlay x on DraftKings.  

NLDS SGPx

Leg 1: Mark Vientos 1+ hits

Vientos is coming off a monster game in which he went 3-4 with two home runs. The Mets third baseman is batting .400 and slugging .750 in the playoffs, and he's 1-3 against Aaron Nola in his career. We'll ride the hottest bat in New York's lineup. 

Leg 2: Bryce Harper over 0.5 walks

The Mets have no interest in pitching to Harper in this series, especially when there's an open base. Harper has already walked four times in his nine plate appearances in the NLDS. The Mets are going to keep pitching around Harper and making the rest of Philly's lineup prove it can beat them.

Leg 3: Padres @ Dodgers over 0.5 runs first inning

The top of these lineups have a huge advantage over the starting pitchers in this matchup. The top four hitters in San Diego's projected lineup are a combined 20-66 (.303) with four home runs and three doubles against Walker Buehler. On the other side, the top four hitters in Los Angeles' projected lineup are a combined 16-48 (.333) with six homers against Michael King. 

Leg 4: Shohei Ohtani over 1.5 total bases

How can we not throw Ohtani into this bet slip? In 14 career at-bats against King, the Dodgers superstar is batting .429 with three home runs and two doubles. Ohtani rose to the moment in Game 1, and he'll need to do so again in a crucial Game 3 to steal back the momentum. 

Put it all together, and we get a +801 SGPx on DK. Let's cash!
