Royals vs Yankees Same Game Parlay Picks for April 16: Bet on Kansas City’s Witt to Continue Piling Up the Hits

The Kansas City Royals have been held to three runs on only seven hits in their first two games at Yankee Stadium this week. Clarke Schmidt, making his season debut after dealing with rotator cuff tendinitis, will try to keep the Royals’ offense at bay as New York goes for a sweep.

We’ve analyzed the MLB betting odds and MLB same game parlay odds to come up with some solid options for you. These will include some MLB prop bets to make as New York’s big bats size up Kansas City southpaw Kris Bubic.

Top 3 Royals vs Yankees Parlay Picks

1. New York Yankees Moneyline (-146)

Start your MLB same game parlay picks with a pretty simple option, taking the Yankees to win at home, something they’ve already done seven times. There’s a reasonable expectation that they’ll get to Bubic at some point; New York has 14 home runs against lefties, twice the amount of any other American League team.

Adding in some MLB prop picks today will make for a nice payout at the sportsbook, and starting with a Yankees win gives you a nice base.

2. Aaron Judge to Hit a Home Run (+225)

The two-time MVP has gone 10 games without a home run, his second-longest streak over the last two years (he had a 16-gamer late in 2024). One might be mildly alarmed if he wasn’t doing anything else, but Judge is 7-for-14 with three walks during his current four-game hitting streak. He’s 3-for-6 with a home run against Bubic and this just feels like the perfect time for him to go deep.

Bet on Aaron Judge to Hit at Home Run (+225)

3. Bobby Witt Jr. to Record Two Hits (+275)

Witt already has five multi-hit games and at least one in all but two contests so far. The 2024 AL batting champ and hits leader and current leader in doubles (seven) is a .342 career hitter against the Yankees. Witt also has three of Kansas City’s seven hits in this series alone. He’s often on an island in the Royals’ weak attack, but an easy choice to include in our MLB expert picks and parlays at a great price for this exact number.

Bet on Bobby Witt Jr. to Record Two Hits (+275)
