Major League Baseball Parlay Of The Day 4-14-21

April 15, 2021

Yesterday was a day filled with highs and lows on what ended up being a rollercoaster of an afternoon. The day started out well enough with the Seattle Mariners coming in as underdogs in early action, and we managed to find dog money winners on Cleveland and Toronto as well in what was shaping up to be another scoop all of the money kind of day. We had multi-run leads in several games, and it felt like we were going to get rich.

Nearly every bet was looking great early as the Reds led 4-0, the Brewers led 2-0, and the DBacks led 5-0. But tragedy struck late in those games, as we blew all of those leads and lost the bets. We also lost the Phillies game after leading in extra innings, and somehow the Padres lost despite having an absolutely absurd 19 base runners! We managed to grind out a small profit on the day thanks to all of those underdog winners, but man, it could have been a huge day if we were able to hold a lead and fade some bad beats late in games. What can you do, sometimes you run bad in good spots. We will shake off that run bad today and get right back on the grind with everyone’s favorite way to play, the parlay! Let’s get started!

Money Line Parlay

Not all parlays are the same. In this first section, we are going to focus on money line parlays. The money line is your most basic way to bet on a baseball game. Because baseball has so few runs scored, we don’t see a point spread on a game like we do with the NFL and the NBA; rather, MLB betting offers a money line bet. With a money line bet, if you want to bet the favorite, you have to lay odds, and if you want to bet the underdog, the book will lay you odds. One example would be the New York Yankees as -200 betting favorites. That means you win $100 for every $200 that you bet on New York if the Yankees win. If you want to take an underdog, an example would be The Seattle Mariners +200. That means for every $100 you bet, you would win $200 if Seattle comes in.

Los Angeles Angels (-124) at Kansas City Royals

The Angels just couldn’t quite get over the hump yesterday against the Kansas City Royals, as they threatened to score in basically every inning, but plated only 2 runs and lost 3-2. The Angels banged out 12 hits and picked up a couple more walks, but the Royals pitching staff did a great job of working out of jams, and they held on for the win. The teams play the rubber match of the 3-game set today, and I like LA to find a way to score more runs and take the series finale.

KC will start their ace, Brad Keller, but through his first 2 starts of the season, he has looked nothing like a top of the rotation pitcher. Keller has lasted just 4.2 innings combined in his 2 starts and has gotten hammered for 10 runs, all earned, on 15 hits and 5 walks. The Angels are 2nd in the American League in runs scored right now, and with how Keller is pitching, it’s hard to expect him to get things turned around. Griffin Canning isn’t much better for LA, as he hasn’t pitched well either, but if this game turns into the slugfest that I expect, I want to be on the Angel’s side, as they are far better at the plate than the Royals, who are 14th in the league in runs scored. Give me LA in a wild one!

Texas Rangers at Tampa Bay Rays (-190)

The Tampa Bay Rays are one of the most frustrating teams in the game. They never seem to score many runs, and they make all kinds of strange decisions that leave people scratching their heads and wondering, what are they thinking? And while I don’t always understand what Kevin Cash is doing, it’s hard to argue that it doesn’t work, as Tampa Bay finds ways to win a lot of games. I won’t usually lay this much wood in a game without an ace-level starter on the mound, but Tampa Bay does feel undervalued here, so I will make my play on the Rays and lay a little more wood than I would like.

Josh Fleming isn’t a household name just yet, but he is going to be. The Rays are moving Fleming along slowly, but this kid has the potential to be very good. Fleming had a cup of coffee with the Big League team last year, making 7 appearances for Tampa Bay and posting a stellar 5-0 record and 2.78 ERA. This spring, he worked 8.2 innings and didn’t allow a single run, and he makes his 1st start of the year tonight, hoping to establish himself as an every 5th day guy for the Rays.

The Rangers will answer with Kohei Arihara, who will make just his 3rd ever Major League start after coming over from Japan in the offseason. Arihara has not pitched well, as he has pitched just 9 total innings in 2 starts and has an ERA of 5.00 to show for it. The Rangers have lost Arihara’s 2 starts with a combined final score of 14-4, and I can’t imagine Texas is going to be much better tonight in a tough spot, against a good team on the road. I like the Rays to roll.

Philadelphia Phillies (-118) at New York Mets

Phillies fans had a tough day yesterday as Philly got walked off on in game 1 of a doubleheader yesterday, after leading in extra innings, and then they followed that up by seeing their ace, Aaron Nola, lay an egg and get outdueled by the Met’s Marcus Stroman. New York picked up the sweep and doubled their yearly win total along the way from 2 wins to 4 on the year. The Mets will try and make it 3 in a row today as they send youngster David Peterson to the mound. Peterson is a blue-chip prospect for New York, and they badly need him to give them solid production this season, as they are light in the starting rotation with Noah Syndergaard out for the year. In his 1st start of the year, Peterson was smashed by these very same Phillies to the tune of 6 runs in just 4 innings pitched.

Philly was playing well until yesterday’s dud, and they will look to get back into the win column today with Zack Wheeler getting the start. Wheeler looked unbelievable in his 1st start of the year, working 7 shutout innings and only allowing a single hit with 10 Ks against the Atlanta Braves. He wasn’t nearly as sharp in his last start, though, as the Braves got their revenge on him and roughed him up. Even with the pair of wins yesterday, the Mets remain one of the weakest hitting teams in the majors, with just 4 total home runs this season, and I see them struggling at the plate today against Wheeler. Expect David Peterson to look like the rookie that he is and for Zack Wheeler to lead his team to a bounce-back win today in Queens.

Game Total Parlay

The game total bet, commonly known as an over/under bet, is when you bet on how many total runs will be scored in a game. These totals tend to range from 7 or 8 runs on the low end, up to 12 to 13 runs on the high end, and you have to pay juice on both sides of the action. A typical totals bet would be, for example, 8 total runs with -110 juice on the over or the under. If the teams combine to score 9 runs or more, the book pays out the over bets, if the game comes in at 7 runs or less the books pay the under bets, and if the total lands right at 8 runs, all bets push.

Seattle Mariners at Baltimore Orioles Over 9 Runs (-110)

Justin Dunn is a big part of the future plans for the Seattle Mariners, but until he can stop walking so many guys, he is a liability on the mound. Dunn was a first round draft pick back in 2016, and he has shown flashes of having really good stuff, but his lifetime W/9 rate is a laughable 7.6. In his only start of this season, Dunn walked 8 guys in just 4.2 innings against the Chicago White Sox. You know that Justin Dunn is going to give up some runs, and when you look at Matt Harvey for the Orioles being opposite of Dunn, this feels like a high-scoring affair. Harvey is a long way’s away from the guy he was early in his career, and in a testament to just how bad he has been over the last several years, his current 5.59 ERA is actually the 2nd lowest ERA he has had in a season going back to 2017. Take the over, way over.

Detroit Tigers at Houston Astros Under 9 Runs (-110)

I have been taking a lot of overs in Houston games this season, and they are getting me paid. But in this game, I feel like Houston might be playing some small ball, and I see the game going under. Lance McCullers Jr is pitching his brains out right now with a 1.80 ERA, and the Tiger’s Michael Fulmer has been almost as good, with a 2.57 ERA. These teams are 1st and 2nd in the AL in home runs, so we need the ball to stay in the ballpark to have a shot here, but this game should stay under the total with some strong starting pitching on the mound.

Los Angeles Angels at Kansas City Royals Over 8.5 Runs (-110)

Another day, another over bet in the Angel’s game. We already talked about how bad Brad Keller and Griffin Canning have been this season, and neither of these teams have good bullpens either. This is one of those games where both of these teams could end up going over the total by themselves, as it feels like a powder keg getting ready to explode. Keller has been particularly bad in the 1st inning as he has allowed a whopping 8 runs in the first frame in just 2 starts. If that trend continues, we could be done sweating this game by the 3rd or 4th inning.

The Daily Dog

Do you want a chance at jumbo payouts? The best way to stack the cash fast is by parlaying underdogs! You can find high-value underdogs on the board basically every day betting Major League Baseball, and there is no way to win faster than by parlaying a couple of dogs together and getting paid.

Cincinnati Reds at San Francisco Giants (-103)

I was on the Reds yesterday as underdogs and felt really good about things when Cincinnati showed their power in the 1st inning, hammering Giant’s starter Kevin Gausman for 4 runs early on to take a big lead. I felt less great about it when Red’s starter Luis Castillo turned around and gave all 4 of those runs right back in the bottom of the inning. The Reds went on to lose that game, and I think the G-Men ride that momentum to another win today in the series finale.

Johnny Cueto has pitched great this year, with a 2.51 ERA in 2 starts, and the Giants have won 5 out of their last 6 games, and with a win today, they would have 3 straight series victories. Tyler Mahle is pitching well too, so this is by no means a sure thing type of bet. But it’s a nice spot where we can back a home dog, for a red-hot team, with a starter that is pitching as well as we have seen him in years, and that’s enough for me to take a stand and make a play on San Fran.

Cleveland Indians (+100) at Chicago White Sox

Yesterday I said that I would take Shane Bieber as an underdog no matter who he is pitching against, and Bieber didn’t let me down, as he had his best start of the year, pitching 9 shutout innings, allowing just 3 hits and striking out 11. It took Cleveland extra innings to get the win, so Bieber gets robbed of the complete game shutout, but he was great, and all of the sudden, the White Sox bats have gone cold. Chicago has scored just 7 total runs in their last 3 games, and I see them struggling at the plate again today against Indian’s starter Zach Plesac.

Plesac is downright filthy, and he has allowed just 2 earned runs in 13 innings this year. He matches up with Carlos Rodon, who looked great in his only start of the year against the Seattle Mariners, shutting out the M’s in 5 innings of work. This feels like another very low-scoring game and winning low-scoring games Cleveland’s specialty. I’ll call this one at a 2-1 final score, with the Indians stealing another tight one as underdogs.

Boston Red Sox (+132) at Minnesota Twins Game 1

The Minnesota Twins host the Boston Red Sox today for a twin bill in the Twin Cities. Minnesota will call on their best staters today in both games as Kenta Maeda will get the nod in the early game, and Jose Berrios will go in the late game. Interestingly enough, the Twins are exactly -148 favorites in both games, which might be the first time I have ever seen that in a doubleheader. Kenta Maeda has pitched well so far this season for Minnesota, although he has had some soft matchups against weak-hitting teams in the Texas Rangers and Milwaukee Brewers. He won’t have a soft matchup in this game, though, as the Red Sox lead the American League in runs scored and batting average.

Boston got swept in their first series of the year, but the Bo Sox haven’t lost a game since, and they are riding a 7-game winning streak into this game. Boston will start Nathan Eovaldi in game 1, and he is pitching as well as we have ever seen him, with a 1.46 ERA in 12.1 innings pitched. Eovaldi also had some nice matchups, but his K’s are up, and he is forcing a lot of ground balls, which tells me he is on his game right now. I like Boston to stay hot and steal game 1 as dogs.

Get Rich Or Die Trying

In this final section, we are going to go for the jumbo payouts! These are your lottery ticket types of plays that aren’t going to come in all that often but pay off big time when they do. A wise man once said, if you don’t swing hard, you never hit any home runs. Well, in this section, we swing for the fences!

Boston Red Sox at Minnesota Twins (-148) Game 2

I took Boston in game 1 of this doubleheader, but I see the Twins evening things out in game 2. Jose Berrios has been really great on the mound for the Twins with a 1.54 ERA, and I see him slowing down this red-hot Boston lineup. Eduardo Rodriguez looked rusty in his 1st start of the year against the Baltimore Orioles, and that had to be expected as the guy didn’t throw a single pitch last season. E-Rod has managed to rack up some solid win totals over the years for Boston without being all that great on the mound. His career 52-31 record is inflated by a lot of run support, and his lifetime ERA north of 4 runs tells me that he isn’t quite as good as advertised. Expect Rodriguez to get touched up and for Berrios to continue his tear as the Twins work a split out of this double dip with a win in game 2.

San Diego Padres -1.5 Runs (-118) at Pittsburgh Pirates

I have been taking the San Diego Padres on the run line a lot this year, as all but 1 of their 8 wins have come by multiple runs. I took them yesterday on the run line, and if you watched the game without looking at the scoreboard, you would have felt that the Pads were blowing it out, as they constantly had runners on base. San Diego had a whopping 19 base runners, including drawing 13 walks, but somehow only scored 4 runs and lost the game. A team that hits this good isn’t going to do that very often, and I think they make up for it tonight with a drubbing of the last place Pirates. Joe Musgrove is fresh off of his no-hitter against the Texas Rangers, and this guy has allowed no runs and just 3 hits in 15 innings pitched this season. Musgrove is licking his chops with this soft matchup, and he will lead his team to another blowout victory.

Colorado Rockies at Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 Runs (-121)

I am extremely leery of run line bets. They always seem so sexy on the surface, but more often than not, you are left regretting it when the game is all said and done. And home team run lines are even riskier, as the home team loses an inning to cover if they lead late in a close game. But when I look at the Dodgers, they are just too good right now not to expect them to smash the Rockies. They beat them 7-0 last night, and I see this game having a similar final score. LA has beaten the Rockies in 4 straight games with a combined score of 28-13, and they are going to run up the score again tonight at home. The game total is a low one, making it harder for a team to cover the run line, and the line reflects that as we are getting a +157 discount to take the run line bet. The books are begging us to take it, and I’ll bite. Give me LA in yet another blowout.
