Last Friday’s MLB Same Game Parlays ended up 1-2 over at PointsBet Sportsbook. The night started off perfect with the White Sox logging the 2-1 win over the Marlins and Eury Perez failing to go over his pitching outs prop. We faded Sonny Gray’s strikeout and pitching out props successfully, but Toronto prevented us from cashing the 3-leg SGP in after falling 3-2 in extras after leaving a whopping 26 on base with eight left in scoring position. We closed the night with an all-out bad call fading Yu Darvish and the Padres. Here’s to kicking the weekend off right with some winning parlay picks – SLAM YOUR MAN!!

Cincinnati Reds vs. Houston Astros

If you’ve been following my stuff recently, you’re well aware that I’ve pegged Cincy as my ride-or-die the remainder of the baseball betting season. We’ve placed numerous +200 series bets on them in recent weeks and came out a winner. A recommendation to hit them on the NL Central futures odds was also relayed well before the ROI plummeted all the way down to 8-1 where PointsBet is currently offering them up. The club is playing with a passion that’s really starting to become infectious. And to think this team will only get better once the walking wounded return to the everyday lineup in the coming weeks.

While not overly impressed with Andrew Abbott and his laughable 5.4 BB/9 average, the rook hasn’t given up a single earned run and is only allowing 4.6 hits per nine through 11.2 total innings. Granted, Houston will represent a much stiffer challenge than St. Louis or Milwaukee with it raking LHP to the tune of 5.7 runs per game and .770 OPS (No. 7), but I haven’t been blown away by J.P. France and Yordan Alvarez won’t be stepping into the box. I’m likely drinking way too much of the Redlegs Kool-Aid, but I think they can sweep this series!

Cleveland Indians vs. Arizona Diamondbacks

Triston McKenzie was brilliant in his season debut at Minnesota. Unfortunately, he followed those five shutout innings with 10 K up with a dud versus Houston who lit him up for seven hits (1 HR) and 5 ER. Zac Gallen has been having a rough go of it since the calendar turned to June with the righty serving up 19 hits and eight runs (7 ER) over 11.2 combined innings while failing to exceed his K prop both times. Naturally, most casual MLB bettors will run to the window looking to hammer the over with it so low. Not so fast my friends! This has pitcher’s duel written all over it regardless of Cleveland recently ripping the cover off the ball and Arizona preferring to step into the box against RHP. The Guardians struggle against Gallen’s overall repertoire per Baseball Savant, while the D’backs rake against McKenzie’s. Even so, bats he’s run up against on the current roster are batting a collective .174 against him with one extra base hit and 5 K. Both starters will excel and keep the scoring in check early before the pens take over late.

Tampa Bay Rays vs. San Diego Padres

It takes a brass set of cojones to fade the Rays knowing full well they’ll invade Petco furious after failing to win that series in Oakland. Making this recommendation all the more harrowsome is the fact that current AL Cy Young Award leader Shane McClanahan will be toeing the bump for the visiting Rays. That being said, I think Tampa is in the midst of an enormous regression to the negative right now and it’ll be laying an inflated price running up against a hot Friars outfit with opener Ryan Weathers on the hill. If not for blowing the save at Coors in Sunday’s series finale, San Diego would be in the midst of a nice little win streak right now after taking the series opener from the Guardians on Tuesday night.

It’s about time! The Padres have been one of if not the biggest underachievers in MLB betting with the amount of money the roster’s superstars make every passing game. McClanahan just hasn’t been his same dominant self on the road where his WHIP jumps to 1.397 from 0.864 and K/BB average falling to 1.95 from 5.30. He’s issuing 4.71 walks per nine as a visitor as well! SD’s bats have come alive recently and it owns a winning mark versus LHP (12-11) as opposed to RHP (19-23). San Diego is the definition of a rabid dawg in the series opener!
