At 5Dimes, you can buy runs for baseball totals. I had been curious as to how successful it would be to parlay two of these together. I have been doing this in the baseball playoffs with great success. My only concern was that I would be losing too much value by winning games that would have gone under anyway.

I can buy 2 runs and parlay 2 totals for -115 odds. I would think that over time, this would be more profitable than playing just single game totals in the mlb. I would of course run this through my set of filters. I would not blindly buy 2 runs on every game, but buy the 2 runs on games that I was already leaning towards playing a total on.

The payout would be equivalent for a 2-team 6 pt football teaser or a 2-team 4pt basketball teaser. I am very confident that 2 runs in baseball is far more breathing room than 6pts in football or 4pts in basketball.

What do you guys think?
