My MLB same-game parlay for April 7 heads to D.C., where the 9-2 Dodgers look to stay red hot against a rebuilding Nationals squad.
Spoiler: LA should keep rolling. The Dodgers have looked locked in to start the year, and with MacKenzie Gore on the mound for Washington, there’s plenty of value to dig into for this Dodgers vs. Nationals same-game parlay:

Dodgers vs Nationals Parlay Pick No. 1: Dodgers ML (-200)
The Dodgers have picked up right where they left off by mashing at the plate and getting quality innings from the mound. They’re 9-2, and aside from the loaded lineup, they’ve outscored opponents by 37 runs already this season.
Meanwhile, Washington is just 3-6 and has lost four straight entering Monday’s matchup. Even with MacKenzie Gore on the mound, the Nationals are simply outgunned here. LA’s lineup is too deep, too hot, and too dangerous, especially when it’s early April and everyone’s healthy. Laying the juice on the moneyline feels like a safe leg.
Dodgers vs Nationals Parlay Pick No. 2: Shohei Ohtani OVER 1.5 Total Bases (+110)
Shohei hasn’t just settled into the Dodgers’ lineup; he’s been thriving in it. Ohtani enters this game with a .338 average and has been barreling the ball with authority all week. In fact, he already has 10 extra-base hits (six doubles and four bombs), so it’s not hard to imagine him getting a couple more bases tonight against a lefty like Gore. Left-on-left hasn’t really fazed Ohtani in his career as he’s slugging .485 in those matchups.
Dodgers vs Nationals Parlay Pick No. 3: MacKenzie Gore OVER 4.5 Hits Allowed (-130)
Gore is a legit talent, but he’s still figuring it out at the MLB level, especially when facing stacked lineups. The young lefty gave up nine hits in his last start against Toronto and now faces a Dodgers team that ranks top three in nearly every offensive category. LA is hitting .280 as a team and already has 25 homers in 11 games. Gore might rack up strikeouts, but the Dodgers are patient and punish mistakes. If he goes even five innings, it’s tough to see him keeping LA under five hits.
