At Target Field on August 21st, historic trends hint at an edge for under bets in this AL meeting. Oakland has handled the run line against Minnesota over their last three encounters. Meanwhile, total runs rarely surge past eight and a half when these clubs square off. Both teams bring individual hitters who have shown flashes of impact lately, adding layers to the MLB same game parlay picks.

Athletics vs Twins Same Game Parlay Picks (Aug 21st, 2025)

These selections leverage patterns from both sides by emphasizing disciplined pitching and key offensive contributors. The Athletics’ run line shows value given previous close games with Minnesota. Unders align with low-scoring tendencies seen in head-to-heads lately. Player bases props target those hitters showing ability to collect extra bags or knocks even when offense is limited.

Pick 1: Player Bases – Nick Kurtz Over 1.5 – -130

Nick Kurtz has tallied multiple hits six times over his prior ten appearances away from home plate—an impressive clip that demonstrates strong adaptation amid different environments plus consistency making solid barrel-to-ball connections vital while visiting opposing parks such as Target Field’s spacious outfield layout where singles can quickly turn into doubles depending upon defensive shifts employed against him all night long.

Pick 2: Player Hits – Royce Lewis Over 0.5 – -196

Royce Lewis is no stranger to delivering hits in front of home crowds; though more known lately for clearing fences (three homers across eight home outings), just a single hit suffices here—and his approach remains aggressive early in series openers which bodes well for reaching base safely again.

Pick 3: Player Bases – Brent Rooker Over 2.5 – +185

Brent Rooker enters having eclipsed two-total-bases five times across his most-recent ten away starts—a frequency that suggests he’s been adept at finding gaps and taking advantage on unfamiliar fields like Target Field tonight where he’ll likely draw favorable matchups versus right-handed pitching thrown into deeper counts throughout his plate appearances during this visit.

Pick 4: Run Line – Oakland Athletics +1 – -179

Oakland’s track record against the Twins offers encouraging signals here; they’ve beaten the spread each time out over their last three meetings with Minnesota, suggesting sportsbooks may be undervaluing them as visitors again. Their lineup regularly keeps games within reach regardless of result, which improves prospects for this pick even if they’re not favored outright tonight.

Pick 5: Total Runs – Under 8.5 – +118

Recent matchups between these two feature subdued scoring—only one of their last three duels exceeded eight-and-a-half total runs scored collectively by both clubs at first pitch conclusion. With neither side boasting relentless offensive output and considering how often pitchers control tempo here, backing another lower aggregate seems justified based on series history.
