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.
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!
