MLB Same Game Parlay Picks, Odds & Predictions – Wednesday, July 26

We ended up cashing two of three MLB Same Game Parlays over at PointsBet Sportsbook last Wednesday. The lone loser proved to be the San Francisco Giants who failed to take three straight from Cincinnati, though it did kick start a five-game win streak for the Reds so you won’t hear any complaining from me about that! The Orioles and Cardinals took care of business against the Dodgers and Marlins to put us in the black for the night. Here’s to reeling in some green with today’s trio of parlay picks – SLAM YOUR MAN!!

Miami Marlins vs. Tampa Bay Rays

It took some time for me to buy into Zach Eflin through the first half of the baseball betting season, but since finally biting the bullet and accepting the fact that the Rays coaching staff simply just works miracles, the bankroll has done nothing but thank me for taking the plunge. Though his first start out of the break saw him get ripped for 5 ER through 3 IP against the Royals of all teams, the righty bounced back in a big way in his most recent turn by tossing seven innings of shutout ball with 8 K at the Orioles. He’s lined up to throw at the Marlins in the finale of this mini two-game set in the Trop where he’s been nothing short of stellar in allowing 48 hits (6 HR) and 16 ER with a K/BB ratio of 72:7 while holding the opposition to a .193 BAA. Miami’s offense has gone missing since the ASB with it averaging just 3.0 runs per game. The lack of firepower nearly saw it suffer an embarrassing sweep at home at the hands of the Rockies! Sandy Alcantara has largely been a disappointment to date. One big inning seemingly crushes each and every one of his starts, and it wouldn’t shock me if that once again turned out to be the case in this matchup as readily able the Rays have been at hanging crooked numbers at the drop of a hat. Fingers crossed it doesn’t occur until after the fifth inning.

St. Louis Cardinals vs. Arizona Diamondbacks

Might be standing on an island here, but I don’t believe we’ve heard the last of the Redbirds just yet when it comes to cashing in on the NL Central pennant odds at PointsBet; they’re currently being offered up at +3500! Ollie Marmol’s troops sit 11-games off the pace and still have a plethora of games remaining against Milwaukee and Cincinnati. But before that, they’ve got their final regular season dustup with the Snakes after dropping two of three at home to Corbin Carroll and co. way back in the middle of April. Jack Flaherty takes the bump in the finale looking to bounce back from incurring his sixth loss against the Cubs. One bad inning that saw him serve up a pair of home runs – and cost us the F5 under – proved to be his and our demise. Other than that, the right-hander struck out six with 1 BB making it four times in five tries that he conceded two or fewer free passes. Walks have killed him to date, so it looks like he’s gotten that issue under control. Tommy Henry has done little to impress me to date, and he looks to be in full negative regression mode with his 5.14 FIP 1+ runs higher than his 4.01 ERA. Though 10-14 (-$790) versus LHP, St. Louis has been most effective against that side of the platoon in averaging 5.0 runs per game (No. 10) and should produce ample run support to lead St. Louis to the road dub and possible series win.

MLB SAME GAME PARLAY: CARDINALS MONEYLINE + CARDINALS OVER TEAM TOTAL

Baltimore Orioles vs. Philadelphia Phillies

Coming off a huge series win in Tampa, many an NFL bettor will look to fade the O’s in this interleague matchup with the Phillies. I won’t be of the many as I’m simply just not a believer in what Philadelphia brings to the table in ‘23. The offense has been a major disappointment (No. 15), the defense below average (No. 17), and the bullpen – though recently improved – still rates out just above average. On the flipside, Baltimore continues to rake even though it’s been without the services of Ryan Mountcastle and Ced Mullins for a bulk of the last month, and its bullpen (No. 6) is lights out once you get to the back end of it. Until he proves otherwise, Kyle Bradish is an arm I’m interested in backing every time he takes the bump regardless of the hard contact (No. 156) and lack of swinging strikes (No. 110). His slider/curve combo has more than made up for it evidenced by a 29.1 percent called/swinging strike percentage (No. 66) and nearly 50 percent of balls off the bat burning worms (No. 34). With Baltimore sporting the second-best defense in the game, it’s led to 56 percent of his starts being of quality. Ranger Suarez will have his hands full in this one! Baltimore has won 23 of 33 games against LHP ($1,360) and the lefty has allowed 3+ earned runs in all four of his July starts. That doesn’t seem like a recipe for success if backing the Phillies on the MLB odds.
