Winning MLB Parlay Picks for the Weekend Action

Great news for the Philadelphia Phillies as they will welcome back two-time NL MVP Bryce Harper from a broken wrist on Friday. He has been out two months and should assure the Phils earn a Wild-Card spot. No plays on the Phillies this weekend, but here are two others for your MLB betting.

 

Winning MLB Parlay Picks for the Weekend Action

Braves at Cardinals, Saturday

This could be a playoff preview as both are going to make it – the Braves either as NL East champions or a Wild-Card team and the Cardinals most likely as NL Central champions.

Entering this series (Friday), the Braves had won nine straight road games, the longest such away streak for the franchise since it won a team-record 13-straight road games July 29-August 22 of last season. That streak included sweeping a nine-game road trip through Washington (three games), Miami (three games) and Baltimore (three games), August 13-August 22. Atlanta is now 36-24 away from Truist Park this season. Only the Dodgers are better.

The Braves are also 20-10 vs. the NL Central this season after they went 22-12 in 2021. Since 2018, when the Braves started a string of four consecutive division titles, Atlanta is 80-49 against the NL Central, the best record of any NL team.

It’s veteran right-hander Charlie Morton (6-5, 3.99 ERA) on the mound Saturday. Morton allowed two runs on five hits and two walks over six innings against Houston last Sunday. He struck out 11 batters and did not factor in the decision. Morton was locked into a duel with Jose Urquidy, and Atlanta wasn’t able to put together enough offense in the loss. The only damage against Morton was Yordan Alvarez’s two-run single in the third frame. Morton has racked up 118 strikeouts through 86 innings since the start of June, good for a 12.3 K/9. On the year, he’s sporting a 164:47 K:BB with a 3.99 ERA.

Lefty Jordan Montgomery (7-3), a trade acquisition from the Yankees, starts for the Cards. Montgomery (7-3) earned the win with a complete-game shutout against the Cubs on Monday. He allowed only one hit, didn’t walk any batters and struck out seven. Montgomery faced only one batter above the minimum in the victory, with a Christopher Morel double in the third inning accounting for the only baserunner against him. He completed nine innings on only 99 pitches, 65 of which were strikes, and racked up 14 swings-and-misses. Montgomery is 4-0 since the trade from New York, allowing only one run over 25.2 innings while posting a 24:3 K:BB.

Cardinals DH Albert Pujols is seven home runs away from his 700th career home run, which would land him among Barry Bonds, Henry Aaron and Babe Ruth as the only players to reach the milestone. He doesn’t start all that often against right-handers so he might not here.

 

Guardians at Mariners, Sunday

Mariners manager Scott Servais said he’s hopeful of getting Sam Haggerty back in the lineup this weekend. Haggerty did come off the bench for defensive purposes late in Wednesday’s loss to the Nationals but he hasn’t started a game in nearly a week due to an isolated deltoid strain in his left shoulder. The 28-year-old was enjoying a tremendous second half before he suffered that injury.

First baseman Ty France was removed from Thursday’s game against the Guardians in the second inning due to an apparent injury. France flied out to left field in his only plate appearance on the afternoon. He looked to be in quite a bit of discomfort after stretching for a ball at first base during the top half of the second inning, then was seen heading into the clubhouse with the training staff. Monitor that. France was great in the first half of the season but has really been struggling.

Earlier this week, AL Rookie of the Year favorite Julio Rodríguez hit his 20th home run of the season to record the 10th individual season in Mariners history with 20+ home runs and 20+ stolen bases. Rodriguez became just the 9th player in MLB history to reach the 20/20 club at age 21-or-younger, joining Vada Pinson (2x, 1959-60), Orlando Cepeda (1959), César Cedeño (1972), Alex Rodriguez (1997), Andruw Jones (1998), Justin Upton (2009), Mike Trout (2x, 2012-13) and Ronald Acuña Jr. (2019). Julio is the 11th rookie to record a 20/20 season.

Reigning AL Cy Young winner Robbie Ray (10-8) is scheduled to start here. Ray yielded one run on two hits over 6 2/3 innings in Tuesday’s 4-2 win over the Nationals. Ray was in complete command and had allowed just one hit through six innings before Joey Meneses knocked him for a solo homer to lead off the seventh. Rays has a 3.75 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 175/53 K/BB ratio (25 starts; 148 2/3 innings).

Cleveland counters with Aaron Civale (2-5). Civale allowed a run on four hits, two walks and a hit batter while striking out four in 4.2 innings, taking a no-decision versus the Padres on Tuesday. Civale wasn’t very efficient, throwing just 50 of 95 pitches for strikes. He was relieved by Nick Sandlin for the final out of the fifth inning, denying Civale a chance at his first win since May 20. The right-hander has allowed four runs across 14.2 innings through three starts since returning from a wrist injury. He has a 5.37 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 70:18 K:BB through 68.2 innings across 15 starts overall.

While it doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things, the Los Angeles Angels will welcome back three-time AL MVP on Friday in Detroit. He has been out since mid-July with an injury. We don’t have an opinion on that game but recommend parlaying picks on the following three. Let’s look at the preview for your betting MLB.

 

Winning MLB Parlay Picks for the Weekend Action

Blue Jays at Yankees, Saturday

While Yankees ace Gerrit Cole has been inconsistent at times this season, he has been better at home and is clearly a superior pitcher to Saturday’s Blue Jays starter, Mitch White.

Cole (9-5) allowed one run on five hits and two walks over six innings Monday, striking out six and taking a loss against the Rays. Cole worked through three scoreless frames before yielding a run in the fourth. Unfortunately for him, the Yankees were shut out, so he was tagged with a loss. Since his last win July 17, Cole is 0-3 with a 4.35 ERA over his last five starts. With Monday’s outing, he lowered his season ERA to 3.30 alongside a 184:35 K:BB across 144.1 frames. Cole called out his offense for a lack of support after.

The Jays’ White, acquired at the deadline from the Dodgers, is replacing Yusei Kikuchi in the Blue Jays’ rotation moving forward. Kikuchi has struggled over the course of the season but his last two starts have been abysmal, as he has allowed six walks, eight earned runs, and four home runs off of 10 hits through 8.1 innings combined

White appeared headed for the bullpen with Ross Stripling (hip) returning from the injured list Wednesday, but he’ll instead stick in the rotation with Kikuchi demoted to a relief role. White has given up four earned runs with a 5:4 K:BB over 9.1 frames in two starts since being acquired by Toronto, and he has a 3.72 ERA and 1.27 WHIP for the season.

Long-term, White admitted that he would like an opportunity to prove himself as a starter for the Blue Jays, but is comfortable playing whichever role gives the team the best chance at success.

“It’s great to help the team win,” White said. “But, gun to my head, I’d say yeah, I’d prefer to start. I like being able to eat innings and cover innings for the pen and do that.”

 

Nationals at Padres, Sunday

The worst pitcher in baseball right now without question is Washington’s Patrick Corbin (4-16, 6.96), who is making $23 million this year, $24 million in 2023 and a whopping $35 million in 2024. The Nats couldn’t give him away. He could become the first 20-game loser in years.

Corbin allowed four runs over six innings in a no-decision versus the Cubs on Tuesday. It doesn’t go down as a quality start, but Corbin entered with a 12.46 ERA over his last six starts and didn’t get through the first inning his last time out, so it was improvement. He was pitching on nine days of rest, as the Nationals had skipped his last turn following his previous debacle.

It’s not just that this has been the worst performance of Corbin’s career. It’s not just that it is the worst performance this year in MLB. It’s that it is shaping up to be one of the worst pitching performances in history.

“I want to leave this year with a positive moving forward to next year,” Manager Dave Martinez said of Corbin. “Because, regardless of what anyone thinks, he’s going to be one of our starters next year and the year after that.”

It’s Sean Manaea (6-6, 4.83 ERA for the Padres, and he hasn’t been great but he’s still miles better than Corbin. Manaea allowed three runs on four hits and a walk, striking six in four innings in a 4-3 loss Tuesday in Miami. He did not factor into the decision. Nick Fortes tagged Manaea with solo homers in the second and fourth innings. The lefty was removed from the game after four innings, having tossed 64 pitches. It was his fifth straight outing of 83 pitches or fewer. Since the All-Star break, he has an 8.06 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and seven homers allowed in 22.1 innings across five outings.

“[Manaea] had a bit of a tired arm out there today,” Manager Bob Melvin said. “Certain times over the course of the season I gotta identify that it’s not the best stuff out there. It’s been a long year for him, so I wanted to give him a little bit of a break.”

Problems in the Windy City

What a four-game series we’re going to see this weekend, as the New York Yankees come to the Windy City to take on the Chicago White Sox. The Yankees head into Wednesday night’s action with a 21-8 record, winning eight of their last 10. The White Sox have also been on a hot streak as of late, also winning eight of their last 10.

We really like the Yankees in Friday night’s game. There are two reasons we like the Yankees: Reason #1 is Gerrit Cole, and Reason #2 is Dallas Keuchel. Let’s talk about Cole first. Cole last pitched on Sunday against the Texas Rangers. He went 6 ⅓ innings, giving up five hits and one run, while striking out 10. In his last 19 innings pitched, he’s struck out 25. The White Sox have been hitting the ball well lately, but they are prone to striking out a lot, so this bodes well for the Yankees.

Now on to Reason #2, Dallas Keuchel. Even though he pitched well in his last outing against Boston, the veteran hurler has had a rough season. He has a 6.86 ERA and a 2.10 WHIP this season. With a powerful lineup like New York’s, we predict problems for Keuchel.

While this should be a very competitive series, we like the Yankees to win on Friday night.

 

Pitcher’s Duel in Hollywood

The Philadelphia Phillies head to Los Angeles to take on the Dodgers this weekend. Saturday’s pitching matchup has caught our betting eye. The Dodgers will send Walker Buehler to the mound, while the Phillies will counter with Ranger Suarez. Who is Ranger Suarez you may ask? Well, Suarez has been on his game as of late. He is 3-1 on the season with a 3.68 ERA. In his last outing, he tossed six shutout innings against the Seattle Mariners. He struck out seven and earned his third victory of the season. He has great stuff, and he can entice batters to swing at his off-speed pitches.

For the Dodgers, Walker Buehler will toe the rubber. Buehler has been tremendous this season, coming into this one with a 4-1 record. Buehler last pitched on Sunday, limiting the Chicago Cubs to one run in his seven innings. He earned the victory, allowing four hits, and striking out seven. He enters Saturday’s game with a 1.96 ERA and a 1.06 WHIP.

Both of these teams have very strong lineups, but we think that the pitchers will get the best of this one. We suggest taking the under in this game, as we don’t see a lot of runs being scored.

Winning MLB Parlay Picks for the Weekend Action

Braves at Cardinals, Saturday

This could be a playoff preview as both are going to make it – the Braves either as NL East champions or a Wild-Card team and the Cardinals most likely as NL Central champions.

Entering this series (Friday), the Braves had won nine straight road games, the longest such away streak for the franchise since it won a team-record 13-straight road games July 29-August 22 of last season. That streak included sweeping a nine-game road trip through Washington (three games), Miami (three games) and Baltimore (three games), August 13-August 22. Atlanta is now 36-24 away from Truist Park this season. Only the Dodgers are better.

The Braves are also 20-10 vs. the NL Central this season after they went 22-12 in 2021. Since 2018, when the Braves started a string of four consecutive division titles, Atlanta is 80-49 against the NL Central, the best record of any NL team.

It’s veteran right-hander Charlie Morton (6-5, 3.99 ERA) on the mound Saturday. Morton allowed two runs on five hits and two walks over six innings against Houston last Sunday. He struck out 11 batters and did not factor in the decision. Morton was locked into a duel with Jose Urquidy, and Atlanta wasn’t able to put together enough offense in the loss. The only damage against Morton was Yordan Alvarez’s two-run single in the third frame. Morton has racked up 118 strikeouts through 86 innings since the start of June, good for a 12.3 K/9. On the year, he’s sporting a 164:47 K:BB with a 3.99 ERA.

Lefty Jordan Montgomery (7-3), a trade acquisition from the Yankees, starts for the Cards. Montgomery (7-3) earned the win with a complete-game shutout against the Cubs on Monday. He allowed only one hit, didn’t walk any batters and struck out seven. Montgomery faced only one batter above the minimum in the victory, with a Christopher Morel double in the third inning accounting for the only baserunner against him. He completed nine innings on only 99 pitches, 65 of which were strikes, and racked up 14 swings-and-misses. Montgomery is 4-0 since the trade from New York, allowing only one run over 25.2 innings while posting a 24:3 K:BB.

Cardinals DH Albert Pujols is seven home runs away from his 700th career home run, which would land him among Barry Bonds, Henry Aaron and Babe Ruth as the only players to reach the milestone. He doesn’t start all that often against right-handers so he might not here.

 

Guardians at Mariners, Sunday

Mariners manager Scott Servais said he’s hopeful of getting Sam Haggerty back in the lineup this weekend. Haggerty did come off the bench for defensive purposes late in Wednesday’s loss to the Nationals but he hasn’t started a game in nearly a week due to an isolated deltoid strain in his left shoulder. The 28-year-old was enjoying a tremendous second half before he suffered that injury.

First baseman Ty France was removed from Thursday’s game against the Guardians in the second inning due to an apparent injury. France flied out to left field in his only plate appearance on the afternoon. He looked to be in quite a bit of discomfort after stretching for a ball at first base during the top half of the second inning, then was seen heading into the clubhouse with the training staff. Monitor that. France was great in the first half of the season but has really been struggling.

Earlier this week, AL Rookie of the Year favorite Julio Rodríguez hit his 20th home run of the season to record the 10th individual season in Mariners history with 20+ home runs and 20+ stolen bases. Rodriguez became just the 9th player in MLB history to reach the 20/20 club at age 21-or-younger, joining Vada Pinson (2x, 1959-60), Orlando Cepeda (1959), César Cedeño (1972), Alex Rodriguez (1997), Andruw Jones (1998), Justin Upton (2009), Mike Trout (2x, 2012-13) and Ronald Acuña Jr. (2019). Julio is the 11th rookie to record a 20/20 season.

Reigning AL Cy Young winner Robbie Ray (10-8) is scheduled to start here. Ray yielded one run on two hits over 6 2/3 innings in Tuesday’s 4-2 win over the Nationals. Ray was in complete command and had allowed just one hit through six innings before Joey Meneses knocked him for a solo homer to lead off the seventh. Rays has a 3.75 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 175/53 K/BB ratio (25 starts; 148 2/3 innings).

Cleveland counters with Aaron Civale (2-5). Civale allowed a run on four hits, two walks and a hit batter while striking out four in 4.2 innings, taking a no-decision versus the Padres on Tuesday. Civale wasn’t very efficient, throwing just 50 of 95 pitches for strikes. He was relieved by Nick Sandlin for the final out of the fifth inning, denying Civale a chance at his first win since May 20. The right-hander has allowed four runs across 14.2 innings through three starts since returning from a wrist injury. He has a 5.37 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 70:18 K:BB through 68.2 innings across 15 starts overall.

Can the New York Yankees cool off the red-hot Boston Red Sox when they meet in their intriguing AL East showdown on Saturday? Will the Cleveland Indians snap out of the funk they’ve been in to damage the Tampa Bay Rays’ legitimate playoff hopes? Last but not least in MLB betting, why are the lowly Philadelphia Phillies looking like such a great pick in their NL East divisional matchup against the New York Mets? If you want to know the answer to each of the aforementioned questions and you’re looking for some MLB odds and lines to bet on for this Saturday, I’ve got a trio of MLB parlay picks that you can use as part of my value-packed parlay while simultaneously answering each of the aforementioned questions. Now, let’s get down to business.

 

MLB Parlay Picks for Weekend Betting Action – August 12th

Boston Red Sox (65-49) at New York Yankees (60-53)

When: Saturday, August 12, 4:05 PM ET
Where: Yankee Stadium
TV: FS-1, YES
Probable Pitchers: Boston – Drew Pomeranz – L (11-4, 3.36 ERA) / NY Yankees – Luis Severino – R (9-4, 2.91 ERA)
MLB Betting Odds: TBA

 

Analysis: The first thing you need to know about this matchup is that, heading into Friday, Boston had won eight straight games and nine of their last 10 games overall. Conversely, New York lost its last contest to drop to 4-6 over their last 10 games.

Boston lefty Drew Pomeranz struck out eight batters in 6.1 innings against the Chicago White Sox in his last start and has been super consistent in tossing at least six innings in eight of his last 10 starts, while compiling a stellar 2.24 ERA over that span.

Yankees’ right-hander Luis Severino has won four straight starts and limited Cleveland to two runs, one earned, on two hits in 6.2 innings in his last start while giving up a paltry two earned runs over his last 25.2 innings for a 0.70 ERA.

Boston is just 1-6 in their last seven games against the Yankees when they play in the Big Apple and 3-9 in the last dozen meetings overall. New York is the pick to get the win, mostly because they’re at home and Luis Severino is pitching like a legitimate staff ace!

MLB Betting Odds: TBA

 

Analysis: The Indians had lost two straight and a whopping seven of their last 10 games heading into Friday night while Tampa Bay recorded a win in their last contest to improve to 5-5 over their last 10 games.

Cleveland right-hander Mike Clevinger will make his first start since July 31 after being moved to the bullpen after getting smacked around for five runs in three innings against Boston in his last start.

 

How Has the Rays’ Chris Archer Been Pitching Lately?

Tampa Bay right-hander Chris Archer limited Milwaukee to one earned run on three hits in six innings of a 2-1 win in his last start and has limited the opposition to two runs or less in three of his last five starts while allowing just one earned run twice during the stretch.

The Indians are 1-4 in their last five road games against a right-handed starter, 0-4 in their last four road games overall and  3-7 in Mike Clevinger’s last 10 starts against a team with a winning record.

Conversely, Tampa Bay is 5-2 in their last seven games against teams from the AL Central and 4-1 in Chris Archer’s last five home starts.

New York Mets (51-61) at Philadelphia Phillies (42-70)

When: Saturday, August 12, 7:05 PM ET Where: Citizens Bank Park TV: NBC, WPIX Probable Pitchers: New York – Steven Matz – L (2-5, 5.77 ERA) / Philadelphia – Aaron Nola – R (8-7, 3.12 ERA) MLB Betting Odds: TBA

Analysis: The Philadelphia Phillies had lost six of their last 10 games heading into Friday night, but the Mets had been even worse in dropping seven of 10.

New York southpaw Steven Matz was smacked around for five earned runs on six hits in 5.1 innings of a dismal 8-0 loss against the incendiary Dodgers in his last start and has allowed at least five runs in four of his last six starts overall.

On the flip side of the coin, Philadelphia right-hander Aaron Nola has been absolutely phenomenal since making a start on June 22 and has not allowed more than two earned runs in an insane nine straight starts while tossing at least six innings in every outing and at least seven innings in five of those starts.

Despite his team’s struggles this season, Nola has compiled a stellar 5-2 record with a jaw-dropping 1.76 ERA in his past nine starts while striking out 70 over his last 61.1 innings.

The Mets are 0-4 in Matz’s last four road starts while Philadelphia has gone 5-1 in their last six home games and 4-1 in Aaron Nola’s last five home starts. For this matchup, take the Phils to as they will win with ease!

So I have trivia question for you: What shortstop has the most home runs in L.A. Dodgers history. Give up? It’s a trick question of sorts. On Wednesday, Corey Seager hit his 44 th homer while playing shortstop for the Dodgers. That’s already a record in Seager’s second year! How is that possible? It had been held Rafael Furcal, who hit 43 while wearing Dodger blue. The record for the franchise, including Brooklyn, is Pee Wee Reese with 122. Here are three games I would place an MLB betting picks to parlay together on Saturday.

 

Winning MLB Betting Picks to Parlay On This Saturday

Texas Rangers at Tampa Bay Rays

When: 7:10 PM ET
Where: Tropicana
TV: MLB Extra Innings / FSSW (Texas) / FS1 (Tampa Bay)
Radio: 105.3 The Fan (Texas) / 95.3 FM (Tampa Bay)
MLB Betting Odds: TBA

 

The Rays start ace Chris Archer (7-5, 3.91). Archer allowed two runs on five hits with five walks and nine strikeouts in Sunday’s no-decision against the Angels. Archer issued no more than three free passes in any of his previous 10 starts but was able to successfully pitch around his control problems for the most part.

Despite logging his fourth consecutive quality start, Archer was positioned to take the loss until Logan Morrison tied the game with a two-run homer in the seventh. Though Archer has issued 10 free passes across 18 2/3 innings over his past three starts, control hasn’t been a significant problem for Archer this season (3.0 BB/9 rate).

The recent wildness has been largely offset by the 25 strikeouts he’s racked up in that time. He got a win against the Rangers in Arlington on May 31, the only time he faced them this season.

 

Who Will Kick Off Saturday for the Rangers?

Texas goes with Andrew Cashner (4-8, 3.58). He lost after giving up three runs on six hits (one homer) and two walks with three strikeouts over 6 2/3 innings Monday against the Orioles. Cashner held the O’s scoreless through five frames before giving up a run in the sixth and two in the seventh.

That continues a trend for the 30-year- old, who entered Monday allowing an .896 OPS to opponents the third time through the order. Cashner is 1-3 with a 4.76 ERA in his last four starts and 4-5 with a 4.28 ERA in his last nine. He is 2-6 with a 4.33 ERA in nine starts on the road.

Boston Red Sox at LA Angels

When: 9:07 PM ET
Where: Angel Stadium of Anaheim
TV: MLB Extra Innings / NESN (Boston) / FS-W (LA)
Stream: MLB.tv
Radio: 103.7 FM (Boston) / KLAA 830 (LA)
MLB Betting Odds: TBA

 

The Red Sox go with lefty David Price (5-2, 3.39), who is rounding into form. Price tossed eight shutout innings and picked up his fifth victory of the season in last Sunday night;s victory over the Yankees. He allowed seven hits and posted an 8:0 K:BB in the contest.

Price cruised into the All-Star break by giving up just two earned runs in 12 innings over his first two starts in July, and he did himself one better in his first post-break outing.

After missing almost two months with an elbow injury and then getting off to a rocky start upon returning from the disabled list, Price has dominated to the tune of a 1.91 ERA, a 1.06 WHIP and a 34-to- 5 K/BB ratio in his past five starts (33 innings). Price has posted a 2.72 ERA against the Angels over their last five matchups dating back to 2014.

 

Who Will Take the Mound for LA?

The Halos go with JC Ramirez (8-8, 4.54). He lost after allowing four runs on eight hits (one homer) and one walk with five strikeouts over six innings last Saturday vs. the Rays. Ramirez got off to a promising start when he joined the Angels rotation for the first time in April, recording a 3.20 ERA with a 1.10 WHIP in his first nine starts.

However, the right-hander has faded over his past nine outings (6.04 ERA, 1.53 WHIP). The 28-year- old has recorded a 0.90 ERA over 10 innings in five career appearances against the Red Sox, including one start.

 

Latest MLB Betting Trends

  • Red Sox are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 games
  • Red Sox are 1-4 SU in the last 5 games on the road
  • The total went UNDER in 6 of Boston’s last 7 games
  • Angels are 2-4 ATS in the last 6 games at home
  • Angels are 4-8 SU in the last 12 games
  • The total went UNDER in 6 of LA Angels’s last 7 games
 

Atlanta Braves at LA Dodgers

When: 9:10 PM ET Where: Dodger Stadium TV: MLB Extra Innings / FSSO (Atlanta) / SportsNet LA (LA) Stream: MLB.tv Radio: 93.7 FM (Atlanta) / 570 LA Sports (LA) MLB Betting Odds: TBA

 

Will the Dodgers ever lose again? They are on pace to set an MLB record for wins. I won’t be picking a side in this one but the total. It’s Atlanta’s Julio Teheran (7-7, 4.69). Teheran allowed two runs on five hits and four walks while striking out five batters through six innings during Monday's loss to the Cubs.

In 10 starts at home this season, Teheran is 1-7 with a 7.05 ERA. Over the last 15 seasons (since 2003), three other players had at least seven losses and an ERA over 7.00 through their first 10 home starts of a season. The only other Braves pitcher to do so through his first 10 home starts of a season was Pascual Perez in 1985 (1-7, 7.36). However, Teheran ranks fifth in the NL with a 2.53 road ERA.

 

Who Will Pitch for the Dodgers on Saturday?

It’s lefty Rich Hill for rampaging L.A. Hill (6-4, 3.55) allowed just one run on five hits while striking out nine batters through five innings during Sunday's win over Miami. Hill induced five groundouts and threw 62 of his 94 pitches for strikes en route to his sixth win of the season.

Hill has now collected 44 strikeouts through just 31 innings over his past five starts, and he has surrendered only six runs during that dominant stretch. He hasn’t allowed more than three runs in a start since June 15 and has posted a 43-to- 6 K/BB ratio over his past 31 innings.

Those of you who love to wager on baseball will be getting ready to take a few days off with the All-Star Break now just a couple of days away. We all want to end the first half of the season on a high, though, which is why we have put together a few MLB parlay picks for the final weekend of the first half.

I am going with 3 picks on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, with hopes that the bankroll can get a nice little boost before the Home Run Derby rolls around. There are some big series being played this weekend, but I am going to try and spread things around a little as we go searching for winners. Let’s get this thing started and take a look at the updated baseball parlay picks here.

 

Winning MLB Parlay Picks for the Weekend Action (July 7th)

MLB Parlay Picks for Friday, July 7

The Washington Nationals lost the opening game of their series with the Atlanta Braves in rather controversial fashion, as fans were made to sit through a 3-hour rain delay without a drop of the wet stuff ever falling.

I think they will rebound nicely on Friday with Max Scherzer on the mound. He has been totally lights out this season, and is coming into this game boasting a sparkling 1.94 ERA. I like the Nats to win this one comfortably.

 

Washington Nationals Vs Atlanta Braves Trends

  • Washington is 2-5 ATS in its last 7 games
  • The total has gone UNDER in 6 of Washington’s last 8 games at home
  • Washington is 5-11 ATS in its last 16 games at home
  • The total has gone OVER in 18 of Washington’s last 24 games when playing Atlanta
  • Washington is 4-2 SU in its last 6 games at home
  • The total has gone OVER in 10 of Washington’s last 11 games when playing at home against Atlanta
  • Washington is 1-7 ATS in its last 8 games when playing Atlanta
  • When playing Atlanta, Washington is 2-5 SU in its last 7 games
  • Washington is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games when playing at home against Atlanta
  • When playing at home against Atlanta, Washington is 20-4 SU in its last 24 games
 

The Arizona Diamondbacks are coming off a crushing 3-game sweep at the hands of the LA Dodgers, but they will have a good chance to bounce back with a series against the Cincinnati Reds. They will be sending Zack Grienke to the mound on Friday, as their ace looks to go for his 3rd straight win, and 5th in his last 7 starts.

Let’s close out this parlay by going with a pick that I think we will get at a very good price. The Kansas City Royals will close out their first half on the road with an interleague series against the red-hot LA Dodgers. The Royals have enjoyed their interleague play this season, going 5-2 in those games, and I think they might just sneak the opening game in this series.

 

MLB Parlay Picks for Saturday, July 8

We have a really good weekend series on tap with the Milwaukee Brewers in the Big Apple to face the New York Yankees. The Brewers are closing out the first half on a high with 4-straight wins, and if they get the same sort of performance from Brent Suter as he delivered in his last start, then I think they will be able to come away with the win in this one.

 

Milwaukee Brewers Vs New York Yankees Trends

  • Milwaukee is 5-1 ATS in its last 6 games
  • NY Yankees is 5-17 ATS in its last 22 games
  • The total has gone OVER in 4 of NY Yankees’s last 6 games

  • NY Yankees is 5-2 SU in its last 7 games when playing Milwaukee
  • The total has gone OVER in 5 of NY Yankees’s last 7 games when playing Milwaukee
 

There are a couple of different ways that you can approach the game between the Houston Astros and Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday. The Astros have only lost 10 games on the road all season long, and you have to like them against the underperforming Jays. That said, we have a killer pitching match-up here, so it might be an idea to take the UNDER instead of a SU pick.

The Chicago Cubs are performing way below expectations this season, and have now gone 16 games without putting together back to back wins. That said, I think they can finish the first half on a high by winning this series against the Pirates. I particularly like them to win on Saturday with Jake Arrieta on the mound.

 

MLB Parlay Picks for Sunday, July 9

We have a great pitching duel on tap for Sunday with David Price and Chris Archer taking the mound when the Red Sox and Rays close out their 3-game series. This is one that screams UNDER, especially when you look at how well booth men have been pitching of late. As far as a straight up pick goes with this one, I like the Red Sox.

The Colorado Rockies are going through a tough run to close out the first half, and while you would like them to get back on track against the Chicago White Sox, they may actually be in trouble on Sunday. Carlos Rodon has been brilliant in his two starts this season, and I like him to confound the Rockies batters on the way to a White Sox win.

The Cleveland Indians are looking to finish the first half on top of the Central Division, and they are going to need to take care of the Detroit Tigers over the weekend to make that happen. They will meet on Sunday night in the final MLB game of the first half, and I like the Indians to close out with a win.

As we head into July, the talk in baseball circles is almost certainly going to turn to the All-Star Game and the trade deadline. It’s a strange little part of the baseball season where the action on the field almost becomes secondary to what’s going on behind the scenes when it comes to disclosing the latest MLB parlay picks.

That is not the case for us, though, as we are always thinking about what bet to play next. The one great thing about weekends in professional baseball is that there are always plenty of games to choose from, and this weekend is no different.

We have already put together some straight up picks that we like, but now it’s time to turn out attention to the parlay. I am going with a 3-team parlay for each of the 3 days, but you can go smaller, or perhaps play these in a round-robin.

 

Analyzing The Winning 2017 MLB Parlay Picks for the Weekend Betting Action

MLB Parlay Picks for Friday, June 30

I always like to add what I believe to be a gimme play, if there really is such a thing, on my parlay ticket, and on Friday, it doesn’t get more clear cut than the Mets over the Phillies.

The Mets have not been good this year, but when Jacob deGrom takes the mound, they more often than not look like the team we expected them to be. Mets win this one going away.

The Chicago White Sox have only managed 2 wins in their last 10 games, and while the Texas Rangers have not exactly been lighting things up, they should be more than good enough to get the win in this one.

Tyson Ross is coming off an absolute gem for the Rangers, and I like him to keep it rolling on Friday night.

The Kansas City Royals have been slowly creeping their way back into contention in the Central division, and they have a chance to take over 2nd place if they can take care of the Twins this weekend.

I like the Royals to get this series off to a winning start.

PICK: Mets, Rangers, Royals

 

MLB Parlay Picks for Saturday, July 1

My top pick for Saturday has to be the Boston Red Sox over the Toronto Blue Jays. Chris Sale has been about as close to unbeatable as it gets this season, and I think he will shut down the Toronto offense on Saturday.

The Atlanta Braves are in Oakland this weekend, and on Saturday they will send the seemingly ageless R.A. Dickey to the mound.

The knuckleballer has been close to unhittable in his last two starts, only giving up a single earned run. We might get the Braves at a decent price here, so well worth throwing them onto our parlay ticket.

The Colorado Rockies are in a bit of a freefall right now, and they are in danger of falling even further off the pace in the NL West if they stumble against the Diamondbacks.

Unfortunately, that’s exactly what I think they will do on Saturday when they need to go up against Zack Greinke on the mound.

PICK: Red Sox, Braves, Diamondbacks

 

MLB Parlay Picks for Sunday, July 2

The series between the Tampa Bay Rays and Baltimore Orioles is one to keep an eye on this weekend, and I think the 3-game series will be decided on Sunday.

Alex Cobb has been solid on the mound for Tampa in his last two starts, and I like him to pitch another good one in a Rays win on Sunday.

The LA Dodgers are an excellent 8-2 in their last 10 games, and have what looks to be a pretty straightforward series against the San Diego Padres this weekend.

This is a match-up that has sweep written all over it, which is why I think the Dodgers are money in the bank on Sunday.

It’s a little too early in the season to be talking about the Cy Young Award, but if we were, Max Scherzer of the Nationals would certainly be in the discussion.

He is coming into his start on Sunday versus the Cardinals with a stellar 2.09 ERA, and I see him and the Nats continuing to roll this weekend.

PICK: Rays, Dodgers, Nationals
