Below is my mega parlay, and also be sure to check out all of our MLB picks.
Mets -1.5 (+128)
Reds ML (+112)
Red Sox ML (+142)
MLB parlay odds: +1070
New York Mets –1.5 over Atlanta Braves (+128)
New York is battling for a wild-card spot; Atlanta has nothing for which to play. That is how this series has looked so far, too. The visiting Mets took the first 2 games 12-7 and 9-2. They should be in great shape for a sweep, too, with David Peterson going up against Bryce Elder of the Braves. Peterson is 8-5 with a 3.27 ERA. In his most recent start he gave up only 1 run in 8.0 innings during an 8-1 rout of the Nationals while striking out 10 and walking just 1. Elder is 5-9 with a ridiculous 6.29 ERA. Francisco Lindor is 6-for-10 lifetime against Elder with 2 home runs and 2 doubles. Pete Alonso is 4-for-11 with a homer and a double. Juan Soto is 3-for-5 with a homer.
Cincinnati Reds ML over Arizona Diamondbacks (+112)
Brady Singer is going for the Reds and he was awesome in his last 2 starts. In 12.0 innings, Singer allowed only 1 run on 9 hits. What’s really encouraging is that he has walked no more than 1 batter in 6 of his last 8 outings. Such control has helped Cincinnati win 4 of his last 5 starts. The Diamondbacks are countering with Zac Gallen. That used to be good news for the Snakes, but now it isn’t. Gallen comes in with a 9-13 record and a 5.28 ERA. Over his last 11.0 innings he has surrendered 6 runs on 10 hits. The Reds are trying to avoid a sweep and they have not been swept all season long. They have enticing value as underdogs.
Boston Red Sox ML over New York Yankees (+142)
The Red Sox are trying to complete a 4-game sweep of the rival Yankees. Boston has gone into the Bronx and humiliated the home team with victories by scores of 6-3, 1-0 and 12-1. The Sox have proven that they can win with pitching and they can win with hitting. New York, on the other hand, looks demoralized. It can kiss the AL East goodbye and it really needs to start getting in gear if it wants to secure a wild-card spot. That may not happen until the Red Sox leave town. Carlos Rodon is toeing the rubber for the Yanks and has lost both of his starts against Boston this season. In those 2 appearances he allowed 9 runs (8 earned) in 10.0 innings. Give me the Red Sox to remain on a roll.
