Major League Baseball Parlay Of The Day 6-27-21

June 28, 2021

After just missing out on jumbo payouts in each of the last 2 days, we more than made up for it yesterday by nailing not 1, but 2, parlays! The first parlay came in on our 3-team totals parlay. The game between Cleveland and Minnesota got rained out, dropping the play down to a 2-teamer, but it still paid out a juicy $365 when the Giants/Athletics over 8.5 runs and Cardinals/Pirates under 8 runs both came in. That was a nice winner, but the big money came later, when we hit paydirt on our 3-team all money line play for another $507!

We cashed that ticket when the Cardinals (-150), Red Sox (-117), and Rangers (-157) all took care of business as small favorites and won their games. The parlay hits were the headline story of the day, but we also found winning straight bets on the Giants (-122) and Rays (-165), and really the only thing that slowed us down yesterday was the weather, as we missed out on a couple of potentially huge upset plays on the Mariners (+165) who were hanging with the White Sox before that game got called in the 3rd inning and the Indians (+145), who never even got to take the field in Minnesota, for their game with the Twins. It feels good to run good! Today we will jump right back into the action, 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.

Washington Nationals (-127) at Miami Marlins

After dropping game 1 of this 4-game set with the Washington Nationals, the Miami Marlins battled back to take each of the next 2 games in this series, and they have a shot at picking up a series win today at home in the series finale. Sandy Alcantara gets the nod for the Fish, and Marlin’s fans are hoping that he can continue his run of home field dominance. Alcantara has been lights out this season in South Beach, with a 2.19 ERA in 8 starts. The problem for Miami, is that no matter how great Alcantara pitches, they just don’t seem to win the games very often. Miami is 3-5 in those 8 home starts for Alcantara, as the run support has been anemic.

It is hard to expect Miami to bust out the bats today when you see that multi-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer is on the other side of the mound today for Washington. At some point, you have to think that Mad Max will start looking his age, but that hasn’t happened yet, as he is still pitching at an elite level at age-36. Scherzer is top-10 in the majors in ERA, WHIP, and strikeouts, and in his lone start against Miami this season, all he did was go out and throw a complete game, allowing just a single run and striking out 9 Marlins. This feels like an ultra low scoring game, where Alcantara is good, but Scherzer is better. Miami has failed to support Alcantara all season long, and Scherzer is seemingly only getting better as the season wears on, as his ERA this month is a blink, and you will miss it, 1.38. It is very rare that you get to back a starting pitcher like Max Scherzer at such a reasonable price, and I won’t pass up on all of that value today as I make my play on the road team.

Philadelphia Phillies at New York Mets (-125)

Marcus Stroman pitched just 1 inning in his last start and was pulled from the game with a sore hip. If Mets management can be believed, that sore hip is no longer an issue, and Stroman avoided a trip to the IL, and instead will start today at home, on an extra day’s rest. Assuming he is actually fully healthy, and I have to think that is the case, as the Mets have been very careful managing their starting rotation this season, you have to love being able to get Stroman at this price at home. On the year, Stroman has been remarkable at home, with a 1.96 ERA in 7 starts. In his last 5 starts at Citi Field, he has allowed just 4 total earned runs in 26.2 innings pitched.

Phillies starter Zack Wheeler is no slouch either, as the former long-time Met is having a career year for Philadelphia with a 2.36 ERA and 122 Ks. Wheeler is no stranger to pitching in the Big Apple, but he hasn’t been great against his old team this season, as he had made 2 starts against the Mets and has a 4.73 ERA, and the Phillies lost both games. This has been a tough series for Philly as they have allowed the Mets to come from behind and walk them off for wins twice already this weekend. They came oh so close to handing Jacob deGrom the loss yesterday but couldn’t hold the late lead, and today in the series finale, I see them struggling to score runs against Marcus Stroman. Unlike Wheeler, who has struggled against the Mets this season, Stroman has dominated the Phillies to the tune of a 0.53 ERA in 3 starts. The Mets have been great at home all year long, and they are going to finish off the Phillies today in game 4 in what should be a low scoring and tightly contested affair.

Oakland Athletics at San Francisco Giants (-141)

Oakland fans are looking forward to this nightmare of a road trip coming to an end, as they have lost 6 of their last 8 games after coming into this series with the best road record in the American League. It is hard to fault the A’s too much for their struggles in this series with the Giants, though, as in addition to having the most wins in baseball, they also lead MLB in home field winning percentage, with a smoking hot 26-10 record at Oracle Park. The A’s will try and end this road trip on a high note today, with Cole Irvin getting the start. Irvin has had his fair share of ups and downs, like most young pitchers do, but he has pitched well in June, as he has made 4 starts, and the Athletics have won all 4 games. Prior to this nice run for Irvin, Oakland started the year out by losing 8 of his first 11 starts, and his 7 losing decisions this year is one of the highest totals in the league.

The Giants will answer Irvin with a youngster of their own, in rookie Sammy Long. Long was racking up epic K numbers in the minors and forced the Giant’s hand to call him up, and while the strikeouts haven’t been coming at nearly as high of a rate in the Big Leagues, as they did down in triple-A, Long has more than held his own in the show. In 3 career starts, Long has worked 15 innings and has allowed 7 earned runs while striking out 16 batters. The Giants have let him get deeper into games in each outing, and I would think the handcuffs will be off today, and if he pitches well, he will get a chance to stay in this game for as long as he is effective. At the start of this series, I said that I felt the Giants might have caught the A’s at just the right time for a sweep. Oakland is playing their worst baseball of the season, and winning at Oracle Park has been a feat that basically no team has been up to this year. The A’s will pull out of this slump sooner rather than later, but after a long and nasty road trip, I can see the A’s mailing this one in today, content with going back across the Bay Bridge and taking a much-deserved day off tomorrow. I’ll back the G-men as they pick up the series sweep over their crosstown rival Athletics.

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.

Los Angeles Angels at Tampa Bay Rays Over 7.5 Runs (-110)

I will head back to one of my most favorite honey hole plays this season and jump on the over in the Angels game today. LA has one of the worst team ERAs in the majors right now, and they have seen Tampa Bay punish them for 17 runs in the first 2 games of this series. Normally I like to take overs when we have weak starting pitching on the mound, but that isn’t the case in this one, as Ryan Yarbrough and Patrick Sandoval are actually pretty good. That being said, this total is far too low. Both of these teams can hit the baseball hard, and game totals like this are generally reserved for matchups with guys like Max Scherzer or Jacob deGrom pitching. And as much as I like Yarbrough and Sandoval, they certainly aren’t Scherzer or deGrom. This game goes over today at Tropicana Field.

Pittsburgh Pirates at St. Louis Cardinals Over 9 Runs (-110)

We nailed the under yesterday when we almost exactly predicted the outcome of the Pirates/Cardinals game. I felt that Adam Wainwright was going to be great and that the Cardinals weren’t going to score enough on their own to push the game to the over, and with a 3-1 final, we were on point with our assessment. I have a different opinion on today’s game, though, as its high time for the Cardinals to snap out of their funk at the dish and against Max Kranick, who will be making his Big League debut today for the Pirates, this is as good of a time as any. And even if Kranick can find a way to slow down Nolan Arenado, Paul Goldschmidt, Yadier Molina, and the Cardinals crew, St. Louis starter Johan Oviedo stinks and is a mortal lock to give up at least a couple of runs as well. Neither of these teams are known for their ability to score runs, but today I see lots of crooked numbers hitting the scoreboard today in what could end up being a slugfest.

Philadelphia Phillies at New York Mets Under 7.5 Runs (-110)

We already talked about how I feel this game is going to turn out. Both Wheeler and Stroman are pitching at a high level, and all 3 games of this series so far have stayed under this 7.5 run total. In fact, this will be the 10th time these teams have matched up in the last several weeks, and the game totals have been 7 runs or less in 7 of the 9 contests, including 3 games that finished with 2-1 final scores. That is where I see this game ending up, with the Mets sneaking in a 2-1 win at home to close out this series with their division rivals.

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.

Cleveland Indians (+120) at Minnesota Twins

Yesterday I was on the other side of the Minnesota Twins as I felt that they shouldn’t be big favorites against a quality team like the Cleveland Indians, even with Indians starter Sam Hentges being bad on the road. We got rained out of that bet, but the teams will try and get the game in today and imagine my surprise when the books decided to give us another shot at fading Minnesota as favorites today, even though the Twins decided to switch up their starting pitcher. Yesterday I liked Cleveland, with Twin’s ace Kenta Maeda getting the start. Today, I absolutely love Cleveland, as the Twins have swapped Maeda out for JA Happ.

Happ had a nice start to his season, as he was 2-0 with a 1.91 ERA through his first 6 starts. But since then, the wheels have fallen off for the veteran hurler, as he has really struggled in the last couple of months. Going back to early May, Happ has made 8 starts and has gotten hammered for a whopping 39 runs in just 36.2 innings pitched! Things are only getting worse for Happ, as he has allowed 9 home runs in his last 5 starts, and he has only worked 6 innings or more in a game 1 time since April. JA Happ should not be favored like this against anybody right now, and I will back Cleveland and hope that Sam Hentges is slightly less awful than JA Happ in what could turn into a barnburner.

Kansas City Royals at Texas Rangers (-105)

The Kansas City Royals are having a rough go of it this month, as wins have been hard to come by, and they have slumped their way completely out of the playoff conversation in the AL Central Division. If the Royals lose today and the Twins and Tigers both win their games, KC will find themselves in dead last place in the division. KC is just 4-16 in their last 20 games, and the Rangers have beaten them up in this series, blowing them out in both games with a combined score of 17-4. Royal’s starter Brady Singer has an ERA of over 5 and a half runs on the road this season, and when I look at the fact that the Royals have lost 10 of his 15 starts this year, I have a hard time understanding how KC is favored in this game.

As bad as the Royals have been this month, and in this series, they still have a better overall record than the Rangers do. But that bad Rangers record is mostly a function of their putrid play away from home. In Arlington, they are actually decent, at 19-21 on the year. Jordan Lyles isn’t really any good, but he has allowed 2 earned runs or fewer in 2 of his last 3 starts, so he is giving his team a chance to win games when he pitches. Home dogs are always going to be my favorite plays when betting on Big League baseball, and I am shocked that the Royals, who have the 3rd worst road winning percentage in the American League this season, are favored in a road game with a guy like Brady Singer pitching. I don’t really like having to back Texas today, but I love being able to bet against the Royals as favorites.

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!

New York Yankees (-148) at Boston Red Sox

I have taken Boston in both games of this series as I felt the Red Sox were undervalued in both games. Boston cashed our tickets for us, with a couple of hard-fought and close wins, but today in game 3, I am going to switch gears and back the Bronx Bombers, as the books missed on this number. Gerrit Cole is as good as it gets when it comes to American League starters, and he is almost always a much bigger favorite than this when he pitches. Cole has had a couple of one-off blowup starts this season, that have inflated his ERA a bit, but he has held opposing teams to 2 earned runs or less in 13 of his 15 starts, and his 123 Ks are good for the 3rd most in baseball. If he pitches that well again tonight, you have to love New York’s chances of winning this game, as Red Sox starter Eduardo Rodriguez has a home field ERA of 5.70. You can usually throw the records out when these 2 team’s matchup, so I will do my best to ignore how great the Red Sox have been as underdogs this season and make my play on the Yankees and their Cy Young Award winning pitcher, Gerrit Cole, at a very reasonable price.

Los Angeles Angels at Tampa Bay Rays (-150)

I have won bets on Tampa Bay in every game of this series, as I just feel that the Rays are a much better overall team and they have shown just that thus far. The Angels love to disappoint, and they are riding a 5-game losing streak heading into today’s game. The Halos head to New York after this one, and when the Yankees sweep them out of town and send them back to Anaheim on a long losing streak, it is almost certainly going to signal a fire sale at the trade deadline for LA. You could easily make a case that Patrick Sandoval is the better side of this starting pitching matchup with Ryan Yarbrough, and to be honest, I would agree with you. But Tampa Bay is heating back up, winners of 4 straight games, and I think after smashing the Angels yesterday, they are going to finish off the sweep today at home.

Atlanta Braves at Cincinnati Reds (-150)

The Atlanta Braves came into this season with one of the best starting rotations in the National League, but after losing Mike Soroka, Max Fried, and Huascar Ynoa to injury, the Braves have been forced to turn to guys like Kyle Wright, Kyle Muller, and Jesse Chavez to start games. Not surprisingly, the results haven’t been good for Atlanta, and the lack of pitching had led the Braves to being closer to the last place Miami Marlins in the NL East Division than to 1st place New York. Muller will make just his 2nd ever MLB start today, and despite pitching really well in his 1st start, he was still charged with the loss in his last outing.

I keep waiting for the Reds to fade away in the NL Central Division race, but they are 14-9 this month, so they are hanging around and are still very much part of the playoff conversation in the NL, with a winning record at 38-37. The Reds are one of the hardest-hitting teams in the National League, and Great American Ballpark is a brutal spot for Kyle Muller to have to cut his teeth at against this Reds team that is 4th in the NL in home runs. For my money, there is no more disappointing of a team in the league than the Braves right now, and I think that disappointment continues today on the road in Cincinnati, as the Reds are going to jump all over Kyle Muller and Tyler Mahle’s 7-2 record, and 3.56 ERA, tells me he should be more than good enough to lead his team to victory today at home.

Arizona Diamondbacks at San Diego Padres -1.5 Runs (-120)

To quote legendary country music crooner Garth Brooks, “It was bound to happen, and one night it did.” The Arizona Diamondbacks finally won a game on the road! And it came in the unlikeliest of places, in almost impossible to believe fashion. The DBacks snapped their 24-game losing streak, an all-time record for road futility, when they blew out the San Diego Padres last night in San Diego. This is the 2nd long losing streak Arizona has snapped in the last week, as they beat the Milwaukee Brewers last week, to end a 17-game skid. How did Arizona react after that last losing streak came to an end? They got shut out the next day and lost 5-0. I see a similar outcome today, as Arizona fans aren’t going to get to celebrate for very long, as they have to face Yu Darvish today, who just became the fastest pitcher ever to 1,500 strikeouts in his career. Darvish is arguably having the best season of his storied career, and the Padres blow teams out with regularity when he takes the mound.

Who will Arizona choose today to try and lead them to back-to-back wins for just the 2nd time since April? Zac Gallen, who interestingly enough, they haven’t won a game with him on the bump since, you got it, April. The DBacks are a level of bad we just haven’t seen in a long time, and after seeing them almost get no-hit the day after they won their last game, it wouldn’t shock me to see them lay down again today and get blown out. They won’t have anything for Yu Darvish today, and while I am always hesitant to take home teams on the run line, I am up so much this year fading Arizona on the road that I could lose for a month straight and still be up on Arizona. Give me the Padres in a laugher.
