1 lucky bettor won more than $25K on a two-leg MLB home run parlay
One lucky bettor must’ve known something was looking up for two MLB players with knacks for knocking homers out of the diamond.
During two MLB games on Tuesday, someone placed two dollars on Atlanta Braves center fielder Michael Harris II and Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson to hit two-plus homers a piece during that day’s games.
The improbable two-leg parlay came with +1298500 odds on FanDuel, very long chances to actually pay off.
Well, Harris and Swanson both hit more than two homers in the games, and this bettor walked away with a staggering payout. They won more than $25,900 on the parlay.

That’s a major winning for such a small bet, perhaps one sparked by the fact that Swanson and Harris used to play for the same franchise in Atlanta.
While you’re not often going to see a parlay like this stick the landing, they sure do impress when they fall through.
