MLB Playoffs 2025 Kick Off Today: Cubs, Yankees Favorites in FanDuel Parlay

The 2025 MLB Playoffs commence today with four games, starting with Guardians vs. Tigers at 1:08 p.m. ET. FanDuel's MLB parlay for the first day includes Cubs and Yankees money lines, and Over 7.5 runs in Dodgers vs. Reds.

The model, profitable with a 34-28 run on top-rated MLB money-line picks, predicts Chicago to win against the Padres in 65% of simulations. The Cubs vs. Padres game begins at 3:08 p.m. ET, with the Cubs yet to name a starter due to rookie Cade Horton's injury. Meanwhile, the Yankees are favoured to win against the Red Sox in 64% of simulations, with the game set for 6:08 p.m. ET.

In the nightcap, the model predicts an average of 8.9 combined runs in the Dodgers vs. Reds game at 9:08 p.m. ET. Reds' starting pitcher Hunter Greene has a higher ERA on the road than at home, which could impact the game's outcome.

The FanDuel MLB parlay for today includes Cubs and Yankees money lines, and Over 7.5 runs in Dodgers vs. Reds. The model's predictions and the teams' performances will determine the success of the parlay. Tomorrow, the playoffs continue with four more games.
