MLB parlay pick: Texas Rangers -1.5 over Los Angeles Angels (-108)
To start off our MLB parlay, let’s take the Texas Rangers to win by multiple runs at home. Not only have the Rangers won 9 of their last 10 contests, but Jacob deGrom will get the ball to kickstart this 3-game series. The Texas ace enters the contest with a 10-2 record and a 2.28 ERA on the season. He’s also been dominant lately, allowing just 15 runs over his last 10 outings, with most of those outings lasting at least 6 innings. As for the Angels, Los Angeles will send out Jack Kochanowicz, who holds a 6.03 ERA (1.63 WHIP) and should be expected to struggle against a Rangers lineup that is rolling of late. Let’s back a blowout in LA on Monday.

MLB parlay pick: Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 over Cincinnati Reds (-110)
For the 2nd leg of our MLB parlay, we’re off to Cincinnati for a showdown between the Dodgers and Reds. Los Angeles is in the midst of a poor run of form that’s carried on for most of July, while the Reds are fresh off a sweep over the Tampa Bay Rays over the weekend. With that said, Monday’s contest is a great spot to back the Dodgers, especially with Yoshinobu Yamamoto (2.55 ERA, top 10% xERA, xSLG and ground-ball rate) getting the ball for the visitors.
On the other side, Chase Burns is undeniably a tremendous talent on paper for the Reds. However, his youth has clearly shown over his first few starts at the Major League level, as the right-hander has surrendered 19 runs through his first 21.2 innings pitched. Let’s back the Dodgers to win by margin.

MLB parlay pick: Houston Astros -1.5 over Washington Nationals (-110)
To close out our MLB parlay, let’s back the Astros on the run line. Houston was just swept at the hands of the lowly Athletics over the weekend, making Monday’s contest a prime bounce-back effort for the AL West-leading Astros. Despite this bizarre losing streak, Houston is still a strong 33-22 at home on the season, and it should get back on track against a Nationals team that is just 21-31 on the road.
Framber Valdez (2.67 ERA and 1.13 WHIP) has been excellent all season long for Houston, and he currently holds a 1.66 ERA and .207 BAA in 10 starts at home in 2025. The Astros have racked up 12 straight wins in games where Valdez has gotten the start, and given his track record and what should be an overmatched opponent, Houston can be expected to roll again on Monday.
