The Thursday Ticket: Nobody Scores
4 legs · +1121 · $10 returns $122.12
Thursday's ticket has one story across three games: nobody scores. Gavin Williams and Griffin Jax deal in the afternoon in Cleveland, Tyler Glasnow faces a Brewers bullpen game while the Dodgers' bats stay frozen solid, and it is a 40-degree rock fight in Denver between two defenses that rank near the top of the league. Four legs, all DraftKings prices, all verified Thursday morning.
This is the day's lottery ticket, not the rent money. The straight picks on the board are the core plays. The parlay is what you sprinkle when the night's best reads line up on the same story. Three unders and the champs on the moneyline: if the pitching and the defenses show up like they have all week, this ticket is live deep into the night.
Leg 1: ALCS Game 3 Under 6.5 (-101)
The pick: Under 6.5, -101. Why it is realistic: Williams has not allowed an earned run in three straight outings and just struck out 12 in the ALDS clincher. Jax has 13 scoreless innings over his last three outings with a 0.69 WHIP. Game 2 finished 3-1. The total is shaded low for a reason.
Leg 2: NLCS Game 4 Under 7.5 (-115)
The pick: Under 7.5, -115. Why it is realistic: Glasnow's 0.95 WHIP against the best bullpen in baseball, and the Dodgers are hitting .201 over their last 10 with no homers in the series and a 2-for-26 mark with runners in scoring position. The bats have been quiet all series.
Leg 3: Seahawks at Broncos Under 40.5 (-108)
The pick: Under 40.5, -108. Why it is realistic: Seattle allows 21 points a game and Denver scores under 20. Nix is at 5.8 yards per attempt, it drops into the 40s in Denver, and both pass defenses rank near the top of the league. Thursday night rock fight.
Leg 4: Seahawks moneyline (-142)
The pick: Seahawks ML, -142. Why it is realistic: The champs have the better defense, the better receivers and the healthier secondary. Denver is down Surtain and Hufanga while JSN has gone over 100 yards in four of five. Seattle wins the rock fight.
