The 2025 MLB season is in full swing, with several teams starting to separate themselves from the pack in the early Major League Baseball standings. The National League West is shaping up to be the most competitive division in the league, with four teams — the San Diego Pares, Los Angeles Dodgers, San Francisco Giants, and Arizona Diamondbacks — all near the top of the MLB standings. While those four teams have excelled in the early season, the Colorado Rockies have been polar opposites and are on pace to win 30 games the entire season. On Tuesday, all 30 MLB teams will be in action, and DraftKings Sportsbook has offered users a potentially lucrative way to get in on the action.
DraftKings Sportsbook has a Parlay, SGP, or SGPx Profit Boost Token that can be used for a MLB parlay, SGP, or SGPx bet on all MLB games on Tuesday. The percentage varies by user. The parlay or SGP must be a minimum of four legs and have odds of +300 or longer to qualify. Before locking in any MLB picks or MLB parlays using the DraftKings Sportsbook MLB Profit Boost Token, you’ll want to see how SportsLine expert handicapper Jimmie Kaylor is using his token and building his MLB parlay card for Tuesday.
Kaylor has been profitable as a handicapper across multiple sports since joining SportsLine, and his background as a former college and NFL player gives him a unique perspective when building his fantasy lineups and locking in his betting picks. Now, here are the Kaylor’s five picks in his MLB parlay on Tuesday:
Rockies vs. Royals over 8 runs (-115)
Kris Bubic will be on the mound for Kansas City, and while he has been outstanding so far this season, his counterpart for Colorado has had some issues. Ryan Feltner is slated to start for the Rockies, and he enters with an ERA of 4.82 and a WHIP of 1.61. The Rockies have been below average in every aspect of the game this season, and this is the type of matchup where Kansas City could push for the over by themselves.
Yankees vs. Rays over 8.5 runs (-115)
The Yankees lead MLB in total team home runs with 40, and Aaron Judge looks primed to win another MVP award. Defensively, New York has had some issues, and neither starting pitcher in this matchup (Will Warren for New York and Tanner Bibee for Cleveland) has been strong early in the season. This matchup has the potential to finish well into the teens in total runs scored.
Mets money line (+114) vs. Phillies
This early season rivalry matchup could be a preview of a possible postseason matchup in October. I’m sticking with the hot hand here, especially at this price. The Mets are rolling and have won five straight games — including a 5-4 win over the Phillies on Monday. I give Philadelphia a slight edge in starting pitching, but New York has the best record in baseball for a reason.
Dodgers money line (-122) vs. Cubs
The Dodgers look like a team that is set up nicely to defend their World Series title. This pitching matchup could result in a low-scoring game, but with Los Angeles’ lineup, I am backing the reigning champions here. I like the Dodgers to win a tight, low-scoring game on Tuesday.
Rangers (+1.5) vs. Athletics (-180)
This is the final game of the night on Tuesday, and I expect it to be low-scoring, pitching duel. Oakland starter Osvaldo Bido has been excellent this season, going 2-1 with a 2.61 ERA and 1.45 WHIP in four starts. Texas starter Patrick Corbin is a proven veteran and has also been sharp in 2025 with a 3.86 ERA and 1.39 WHIP in two starts. This is a game I could see the Rangers winning outright, but I’m taking the safer play and backing Texas on the run line.
Total Parlay Odds: +2017
Boosted Odds: +2683 (at 33%, percentages vary by user)

In winning time, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was at his best in Thunder’s sweep of Grizzlies
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Before breaking through in the Oklahoma City Thunder’s series-clinching 117-115 Game 4 win over the Memphis Grizzlies, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had scored 73 points on 68 shots in the first three contests. His 35 percent shooting ranked last among 10 Thunder players who had appeared in every game — not exactly a stat anyone would have predicted entering the series.AdvertisementBut in winning time Saturday, the Thunder star and MVP finalist was at his best.Gilgeous-Alexander scored a game-high 38 points to lead the Thunder to a series sweep and a second-round date with the winner between the LA Clippers and Denver Nuggets. Whichever team emerges will have to contend with a well-rested Thunder squad whose best player might have just hit his stride.It’s not that Gilgeous-Alexander, or anyone with the Thunder, ever worried about his uncharacteristic inefficiency.

Grizzlies must consider Ja Morant’s future and everything else after sweep
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — During his six-year tenure as general manager of the Memphis Grizzlies, Zach Kleiman has usually gone out of his way to avoid the spotlight.Despite being the architect of a team that’s won at least 48 games in three of the last four seasons, few NBA fans could identify his face in a lineup. He’s likely happy with that.AdvertisementHe went against his usual tendencies earlier this season when he released a public statement that made waves throughout the league. Though his intent was to quiet the noise in Memphis, Kleiman may have unknowingly given an early glimpse into the unease behind the scenes that led to the Grizzlies’ shocking late-season collapse and yet another early exit from the playoffs.All of this culminated in Memphis falling short again in a 117-115 loss in Game 4 against the Oklahoma City […]
LIV Golf Mexico City: Ripper GC pulls ahead of Crushers GC after Round 2
<!--> MEXICO CITY – Crushers GC Captain Bryson DeChambeau is arguably golf's biggest hitter. Ripper GC Captain Cameron Smith is arguably the sport's best putter. On Sunday at LIV Golf Mexico City, they'll face off for the first time in the final group of a LIV Golf final round.DeChambeau, thanks to a birdie at the par-3 18th Saturday, grabbed a one-shot lead over Smith. Both shot matching 5-under 66s while playing together during Saturday's second round, a precursor to what promises to be a dramatic and entertaining finish at Club de Golf Chapultepec.And if that wasn't enough, the third member of the final threesome is Torque GC Captain Joaquin Niemann, the current season-long points leader. Niemann is three shots off the lead and tied for the low round of the day Saturday with a 7-under 64.ADVERTISEMENT -->"Hopefully Bryson and I […]

247Sports FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas' name, image and likeness collective has hired an attorney to pursue and enforce a buyout clause in former quarterback Madden Iamaleava's agreement, CBS Sports has learned.In an unprecedented move in the NIL era of college sports, the parent company overseeing the Arkansas Edge collective has hired noted sports attorney Tom Mars to enforce buyout provisions in NIL contracts at Arkansas, Blueprint Sports CEO Rob Sine confirmed Saturday to CBS Sports.

Grading the Broncos’ draft
Feb 27, 2025; Indianapolis, IN, USA; Texas defensive back Jahdae Barron (DB04) during the 2025 NFL Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Tanner Pearson-Imagn Images Grade: C Best Pick: CB Jahdae Barron, No. 20 Overall What We Liked: Barron is a stud. His extreme versatility along with high-end tackling skills and coverage ability should make him a cornerstone of that defense for a while. In an era that's shifting more toward the idea of "positionless football," the Broncos are charging forward into the future with a defensive back that is the shining example of that philosophy. I also think Sai'vion Jones could work in quickly as a third pass rusher. Not Sure About: In theory, adding a couple skill players for Bo Nix should work for Denver, but these guys don't have the juice. RJ Harvey does not have […]
