Best Sports Picks Parlay Of The Day

Major League Baseball Parlay Of The Day 5-27-21

May 28, 2021
financialfreedomllc20

Well, some days, you just get ALL of the money! That was the case yesterday as the only thing that could cool us down was the rain, as several games were delayed or postponed. We nailed our get rich or die trying 5-team parlay for a whopping $3,300 payout! The 5-teamer gives us our biggest parlay payout of the season, and it was extra juicy with a couple of nice underdog winners! The ticket came in when the Cardinals (+188) and Tigers (+110) both won as underdogs, and the Giants (-117), Padres (-134), and Cubs (-136) all won their games as small favorites.

While the 5-teamer was certainly the highlight of the day, it wasn’t our only winner, as we also hit our game totals parlay as well, locking up a $265 profit. That was a 3-team parlay that dropped down to a 2-teamer when the Blue Jays and Yankees game was postponed due to bad weather. All in all, it was a monster day betting on Big League Baseball, as we walked away with nearly $3,600 in profit! We have been smoking hot all month long, and we will look to keep it up today, delivering max value, 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.

Cincinnati Reds at Washington Nationals Game 2 (-148)

The game yesterday between the Cincinnati Reds and the Washington Nationals was rained out in the 4th inning, and the teams will play that game out this morning, before playing their regularly scheduled game later this afternoon, with the late game being a 7-inning affair. The Nationals are leading that game 3-0, and I like them to hold on and win that game, as well as take game 2, with ace Stephen Strasburg getting the nod for the Nats. Strasburg returned from the IL a week ago and was sharp in his return to the mound, as he pitched 5.1 shutout innings against the Baltimore Orioles, allowing just a single base hit. It is a small sample size, but at home this season, Strasburg has worked a combined 11.1 innings and hasn’t given up a single run and has only allowed 2 total hits. It is hard to be any better than that to say the least.

Cincy is hoping that their ace, Sonny Gray, can start looking like an ace again, as he has been inconsistent this season. Gray hasn’t pitched nearly as bad as his 0-3 record might lead you to believe, but he has an ERA north of 5 runs on the road, and for whatever reason, this hard-hitting Reds lineup just doesn’t score many runs in support of him. On the year, the Reds are scoring just over 2 runs per game when Gray pitches, and I can’t imagine that is going to get much better today against a stud like Stephen Strasburg. It seems like it’s been forever since we have seen Strasburg pitch, as he had made just 5 starts since 2019, but he is still an elite pitcher, and this line is more than reasonable. I’ll take Washington at home as small favorites today in game 2, and don’t be shocked if Washington lets Stras pitch the entire game in the rain shortened contest.

St. Louis Cardinals (-103) at Arizona Diamondbacks

The win on St. Louis yesterday was the crowning achievement of what was our best day of the year betting on Major League Baseball. I was able to get the 1st place Cardinals at (+188) which seemed like outrageous value, and all of that juice really made the parlay payout one to remember at a whopping 33-1. Today, the Cardinals are again underdogs, this time inexplicably, against the last place Arizona Diamondbacks. Yesterday’s line was overpriced for sure, but I understood why the White Sox were favored at home with Carlos Rodon pitching. But today’s line makes absolutely zero sense, as the Diamondbacks are awful, with the most losses in the majors and they are mired in a nasty slump that has seen them lose 19 out of their last 22 games.

Carlos Martinez came out of the gates slow this year, as he got roughed up in each of his first 3 outings. But since then, this guy has really started to figure things out, as he has worked 32.1 innings in his last 5 starts and has allowed just 9 total earned runs. Martinez has given up 2 earned runs or fewer in 4 of those 5 starts, and if he can continue to deliver this level of production, the Cardinals are going to be a legit NL Pennant contender. I won’t spend too much time telling you how bad the DBacks have been this season, as you can see that by their terrible record. But the one thing that I will note about Arizona starter Matt Peacock, is that he has made 6 appearances at home this season and has a 9.28 ERA to show for it. This isn’t just a bad line, it’s one of the worst lines of the season. Give me the Cardinals.

Texas Rangers at Seattle Mariners (-115)

Times are tough for both of these teams right now, as the Mariners and Rangers have both been struggling in the last couple of weeks. That being said, the M’s did manage to win their last series, in Oakland, against the Athletics, and they are happy to be home today, hosting a Ranger’s team that is 4-11 in their last 15 games. The Ranger’s 16 road losses on the year are tied with the Detroit Tigers for the most road losses in the American League, and despite the Mariner’s struggles away from home, they are actually decent in Seattle, with a 12-12 record. The Mariners will turn to Chris Flexen today, hoping he can shake off his last start, where he got pounded by the San Diego Padres. Flexen was actually putting together a really nice season for Seattle prior to that beating by the Padres, as he was 4-1 with a 3.46 ERA, and the M’s were 6-1 in his 7 starts.

Kolby Allard will be called upon today to get the start for Texas, his 1st start of the year, after spending his entire season working out of the Ranger’s bullpen. Allard was a full-time starter last season for Texas, and it did not go well, as he was 0-6 with a 7.75 ERA. While the Mariners aren’t a team that I have a ton of confidence in right now, I have even less faith in the Texas Rangers, particularly on the road. Yeah, Chris Flexen got hammered by the Padres, but who doesn’t get lit up by Slam Diego? I won’t hold that one against him too much, and I see him having much more success tonight at home against a bad Texas team. Seattle takes this one in a lower scoring affair to kick off their homestand on the right foot.

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.

Texas Rangers at Seattle Mariners Under 8.5 Runs (-110)

We just talked about this game, and with how poorly both of these teams have been hitting the baseball, I don’t see many runs hitting the board tonight in Seattle. Neither of these starting pitchers are great, but it wouldn’t shock me if they both go out and have decent showings tonight. I’m going to call this one at a 4-2 Mariner’s win, where we don’t sweat the under much at all.

Los Angeles Angels at Oakland Athletics Over 8 Runs (-110)

Ah, another day, and another chance to bet on the over in an Angels game! Nothing makes me happier than picking up my free money nearly every day by firing on the over when the Angels play. LA has gone over their posted total over 61% of the time, making the bet a consistent winner. As much as I love Shohei Ohtani, and I absolutely have a man crush on the Japanese superstar, he doesn’t get overly deep into games, and this Angels bullpen is putrid. The Athletics have very quietly had a lot of pop in their bats this season, as they are currently 2nd in the AL in home runs, and with the Halos not far behind them in 5th in the league in dingers, this feels like a game that could end up being very high scoring. A quick glance at the Angel’s record shows me that their game total has hit double digits in 4 of their last 5 games, and in their last series against the Texas Rangers, the teams combined for an average of 16 runs per game.

Toronto Blue Jays at New York Yankees Game 1 Under 7 Runs (-110)

I spent a long time in yesterday’s article explaining how excited I am for the Major League debut of Blue Jays starting pitcher Alek Manoah. I won’t spend nearly as much time breaking down how promising the 2019 1st round draft pick is today, but just know, he has a very bright future ahead of him. That game was rained out, so Blue Jays fans had to wait another agonizing day to finally see their can’t miss prospect pitch in the show. The only thing slowing me down from backing him today as a big underdog is the fact that the New York Yankees are red-hot, and their starter, Domingo German, is pitching really well at the moment. This game is scheduled for 7 innings as a makeup of yesterday’s canceled game, and this total feels far too high for a game between a couple of very talented starters. I’ll jump on the under and expect Alek Manoah to surprise a lot of people today in the Bronx, even if he comes up just short of taking home a win in his Big League debut.

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.

Toronto Blue Jays (+108) at New York Yankees Game 2

You already saw my opinion of the opening game of this scheduled doubleheader today between the Yankees and the Blue Jays, and while I like New York in game 1, I see the teams splitting the set with the Blue Jays taking game 2. Toronto will start Robbie Ray in game 2, who is having a career renaissance this year for Toronto. Ray was an embarrassment last season for Arizona, which prompted a mid-season trade to Toronto, that looked desperate at the time. Ray didn’t pitch great for the Jays last season, and entering this season, he was pitching for his job in the Blue Jay’s rotation. But after that rocky start to his career in Toronto, the Blue Jays are looking like geniuses now, as Ray has a solid 3.42 ERA. Walks have plagued Ray for his entire career, but he has seemingly figured that out now, as he has only walked 1 hitter in his last 6 starts combined.

Yankees starter Jordan Montgomery is another guy that has a lot to pitch for this year, as injuries have slowed his once promising career. Montgomery made just 17 total starts going back to 2017 before finally getting healthy this year for New York. Montgomery has been hot and cold this season for New York, and if he wants to stay in this Yankees rotation, he needs to pitch like he did in his last outing, where he tossed 7 shutout innings against the Chicago White Sox. Montgomery has allowed at least 3 earned runs in 5 of his 9 starts this season, and my gut says that big Vlady Daddy and the Blue Jays are going to get to him today. I’ll take Toronto in game 2, as they earn a split in this double dip in the Big Apple.

Los Angeles Angels (+128) at Oakland Athletics

I almost never bet on the Los Angeles Angels. They have been an absolute mess all season long, and the books have been overpricing them with regularity. That has led to me fading the Halos a lot, and getting paid, as they just haven’t played well, and the losses are starting to really pile up. But to see Shohei Ohtani as a big underdog today is a bit surprising. Ohtani has a 2.39 ERA, and his 45 Ks in 30.1 innings puts his K/9 ratio at an elite level. You can certainly poke holes in his resume, as he walks too many guys, and he doesn’t generally get deep into games, but to see him as a big dog against Chris Bassitt is a bit of a head-scratcher.

Bassitt has been decent for the A’s this year, but he has had most of his success on the road. At home, Bassitt is 0-2 with an ERA above 4 runs, and the Athletics are 1-3 in those games. As much as I personally hate the Angels, I grew up in Washington as a Mariner’s fan, so it’s in my blood, that is not why I bet against them so often. I bet against them so often, because all of that west coast LA money skews the lines on the Angels, and they are almost always overvalued. That isn’t the case today, as I see this game as a coin flip at best, and I have no choice but to hold my nose and back the Angels as road dogs at an attractive price. I think I just puked in my mouth a little bit, even saying it out loud, but it is what it is, and value is value. Give me the Angels. Yuck.

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!

Kansas City Royals at Tampa Bay Rays (-182)

The Tampa Bay Rays are reminding everyone that they are the reigning American League champs, as they have been on an absolute tear in the month of May. Tampa Bay saw their 11-game winning streak get snapped in game 1 of this series with the Royals, but the Rays got right back on track last night, knocking off KC 2-1, and running their record to 18-6 this month. This number might seem a bit high on the surface, but it is more reasonable when you see that KC has lost 15 of their last 22 games. Tampa Bay was crushing the baseball before this series, and something tells me that the bats are going to wake up again today, and they are going to cruise to yet another series win, which would be their 4th straight. I’ll lay some wood and take Tampa Bay at home as they look to stay hot.

Kansas City Royals at Tampa Bay Rays Over 7.5 Runs (-110)

This series has been shockingly low scoring. The Rays were hammering the baseball for weeks before hosting this Royals team that isn’t known for their strong pitching staff. Royal’s starter Brady Singer had a nice run in April, but here in May, he hasn’t been very good, allowing 12 earned runs in 21.1 innings pitched, on a whopping 24 hits and 8 walks. Tampa Bay starter Shane McClanahan has been decent, but he is sure to give up at least a couple of runs as well, and a game total of 7.5 seems far too low in this matchup. I’ll take the over.

Colorado Rockies at New York Mets Game 2 (-113)

I was upset that the Mets and Rockies game got canceled yesterday as I felt that I was in a very high value spot and hated that I missed out on it. The Rockies have played almost unbelievably bad on the road this season, with a 3-18 record away from home. The fact that they are close to even money on the road, against a Met’s team that is actually really good at home, seems absurd. Luckily for us, the books have given us a second shot at this bet again today, as both of these games feature tight lines. Game 1 is already underway, with the Mets leading early on, and I will jump on the Mets in game 2 as a straight fade of the Rockies and their awful road record.

Baltimore Orioles at Chicago White Sox Over 8.5 Runs (-110)

Despite a lack of home runs, the Chicago White Sox have been one of the highest scoring teams in the game this season. The bats have cooled recently for Chicago, but I see them busting out of that slump today at home against his Orioles team that has the 2nd worst team ERA in the American League. Orioles starter Bruce Zimmerman has had some respectable results at home, but on the road, he has gotten blasted to the tune of a 6.87 ERA in 4 starts. Opposing teams are hitting a blistering hot .316 against Zimmerman on the road, and I see him getting hammered by the White Sox. Chicago may end up pushing this game to over on their own in what could be a blood bath in the Windy City.
