MLB Same Game Parlay Picks, Odds & Predictions – Saturday, July 1

Last Saturday’s MLB Same Game Parlays went 1-2 at BetRivers Sportsbook but could’ve just as easily gone a perfect 3-0 if not for some unfortunate turn of events. Freddy Peralta was cruising through 5 IP before relinquishing his lead in the sixth. Though James Paxton left his start early due to an injury scare, Boston held a lead in the sixth before giving it up and then tied it in the ninth before committing an error, a steal, and the walk-off hit in the bottom of the ninth. The Angels closed the day out on a high after bludgeoning the Rockies 25-1. Let’s see if we can bang out some parlay winners this Saturday – SLAM YOUR MAN!!

San Diego Padres vs. Cincinnati Reds

While not thrilled with the early start, I fully expect the GAB to play out like a launching pad with Seth Lugo set to square off against Brandon Williamson in the second game of the series between the Padres and Reds. Since returning from the IL, Lugo has made two starts against the Giants and Nationals and only managed to go five innings in each outing. While he racked up an impressive 9:1 K/BB ratio in those 10 combined innings, he still allowed 10 hits (1 HR) and 4 ER all the while throwing 66 and 84 pitches respectively. He hasn’t been efficient and I expect that to bite him in the behind against a Cincinnati offense that’s been ripping the cover off the ball and enters this series fully healthy. It will however need to hang a crooked number on the board to come out on top of this game as readily able the opposition has been at doing the same to the rookie who enters his ninth start 1-1 with a bloated 5.82 ERA and 1.474 WHIP. San Diego’s offense prefers LHP with it plating 4.7 runs per game (No. 14) and its OPS (.781) nearly 100 points higher than against RHP. This one’s got barnburner written all over it!

Miami Marlins vs. Atlanta Braves

Picking on the Braves has routinely proven to be a losing proposition for me with Atlanta clocking in as one of the best money earners in the league at BetRivers this baseball betting season ($761). However, the Marlins have the look of a team that isn’t intimidated by anyone, and Skip Schumaker’s squad invades Truist on a roll having logged series wins in three of their last four tries after just going into Fenway and toppling the Red Sox. On top that, the Fish’s offense is the healthiest it’s been all season with Luis Arraez and co. averaging a season-high 4.6 runs over the last seven games. If you’ve been following me this season, Charlie Morton is an arm I’ve faded numerous times with moderate success. Though he’s helped lead Atlanta to wins in three of his five made June starts, the right-hander gave up 26 hits (3 HR) and 13 ER throughout his 27.1 total innings pitched. A bulk of Miami’s batting lineup has experienced success against him in the past with Jazz Chisholm leading the way (1.081 OPS/2 HR). He’s back in the lineup now, and it’s no wonder Miami has started clicking offensively with him back in the mix. Atlanta is yet to see Eury Perez’s stuff which bodes extremely well for the rookie right-hander to dominate early before Ronald Acuna Jr. and co. get a better idea of what he’s all about. As such, we’ll bank on Jorge Soler and his mates getting him out to an early lead that he can preserve through the first five innings.

Tampa Bay Rays vs. Seattle Mariners

Get your popcorn ready folks and get ready to enjoy the pitching clinic Tyler Glasnow and George Kirby are about to put on for a nationally televised audience to enjoy to its fullest! Both of these arms are flat-out filthy yo! Glasnow has made six starts since coming off the IL and has only allowed 26 hits and 15 ER while racking up an insane 45:14 K/BB ratio. That’s a dirty 35.2 percent K percentage peeps! While the Kirby luster has worn off a bit due to Seattle losing three of his four made June starts, it hasn’t been his fault with the right-hander logging quality starts in three straight. His last two occurred in Yankee Stadium and Camden Yards, but now he gets to return home to the comforts of T-Mobile Park where he’s the owner of a 3.19 ERA and eye-opening 43:2 K/BB ratio while averaging 5.2 innings per start. Though Tampa is one of the best in the business against RHP in averaging 5.4 runs per game (No. 4), it’ll have its hands full on Saturday night. Same goes for the home team who’s 25.9 percent K Rate (No. 29) will see many a batter go down on strikes while Glasnow toes the bump. I can’t wait to take this pitcher’s duel in live and fully expect to bank off it while doing so!
