The Little League Classic is a cherished event in the baseball world. The Mariners and Mets will play in front of the Little League World Series players tonight, August 17. The stadium is crafted like an MLB park, so don’t expect many fireworks tonight — especially with an over/under of 8.5.
It’s time to deliver a Same Game Parlay for our viewing pleasure. Let’s dive into my Mariners vs Mets Same Game Parlay picks at +288 odds at DraftKings Sportsbook. Be sure to check out all our MLB picks for EVERY GAME today.
Cal Raleigh (SEA) Over 2.5 hits + runs + RBIs (+125)
Mariners -1.5 (+134)
Mariners vs Mets Same Game Parlay odds: +288
Cal Raleigh (SEA) Over 2.5 hits + runs + RBIs (+125)
Cal Raliegh continues to bang on Aaron Judge’s door for the AL MVP. Currently at +120 to win the award, Raleigh leads the league in home runs and is one RBI back of Kyle Schwarber for a tie for the league lead. The switch-hitting catcher will be batting from the left side tonight versus Clay Holmes — a struggling righty who has not shown much promise over his last few starts.
With the Marines being the road team tonight and Raleigh potentially getting to bat upwards of 5 times, we’ll back him to find a way to cash in on our 3+ hits + runs + RBIs prop.

Seattle Mariners -1.5 over New York Mets (+134)
RHP Clay Holmes and his current 3.71 ERA will get the ball for the New York Mets tonight. That isn’t reassuring for the Mets, who are at rock bottom after a blazing start to the season. Holmes current 3.71 ERA is a season-high, and much like the Mets, Holmes has been a disaster since the all-star Break. He has a 5.56 ERA and continues to struggle to punch out hitters with a 19% K rate.
The Mariners will go to battle with RHP George Kirby on the mound, and his advanced metrics are very strong. Unlike Holmes, Kirby struggled out of the gate with a 4.85 ERA from April until June. Yet, since the break Kirby has been phenomenal to the tune a 2.32 ERA. Even though the Mets evened up the series yesterday, I’ll back the much hotter team with the pitching advantage to win by at least 2 runs.
