MLB parlay pick: Colorado Rockies vs Atlanta Braves Over 9 (-105)
To start off our MLB parlay, I’ll take the over in this contest between the Rockies and Braves. Colorado has shown some signs of life recently, even while still losing the majority of its games. While this contest doesn’t take place at Coors Field, Colorado still has a pretty decent matchup on its hands with Bryce Elder (4.08 ERA) on the mound, a pitcher that has been consistently inconsistent in his MLB career to this point. On the other side, the Rockies are countering with German Marquez, who holds a 2-8 record with a disastrous 7.00 ERA and 1.68 WHIP in 63 innings pitched. The meat of the Braves order has been terrific against Marquez, which bodes well for an offensive outburst from Atlanta on Friday. All things considered, let’s back the over in this one.
MLB parlay pick: Boston Red Sox F5 innings -0.5 Over New York Yankees (-115)
For the second leg of our MLB parlay, we’re off to Boston for a wager on the Red Sox in this heated rivalry matchup. Garrett Crochet has been everything an ace should be for the Sox this season, posting a 2.35 ERA along with a near 32% strikeout rate and .218 expected batting average. Crochet also has had the advantage of just facing the Yankees very recently, and I’d expect him to bounce back from a poor outing last week and maintain his excellent season at home. On the other side, the Red Sox top 10-ranked offense should see success against Yankees veteran starter Ryan Yarbrough (4.17 ERA), who just surrendered 8 earned runs against Boston in his last start. Ultimately, let’s steer clear of the bullpens and back the home team to lead after 5 innings.
MLB parlay pick: Toronto Blue Jays ML over Philadelphia Phillies (+105)
To close out our MLB parlay, let’s back the Blue Jays on the money line. Winner of 8 of its last 10 games, Toronto has been rolling of late. While it’s no guarantee that the bats remain hot against Ranger Suarez (.240 ERA), the Phillies’ bullpen has been a major issue to this point. As long as the Blue Jays are able to keep this one close, they’ll surely have a chance to spring the short upset. It’s also worth mentioning that the Blue Jays are one of the better teams in baseball against left-handed pitching, as Toronto can stack a lineup basically full of right-handed bats to combat Suarez’s prowess. This should be a spot where the red-hot Blue Jays keep on rolling.
