Last Wednesday’s MLB parlay picks came a Cubs moneyline ticket cash away from sweeping the entire board. We knocked it out of the park with our handicap of the stellar pitching matchup between Tarik Skubal and Cole Ragans with the lefty outdueling the current frontrunner to win the AL Cy Young Award at Caesars Sportsbook. Kansas City came in as short home dogs and knocked Skubal out before he could exceed his K prop, while Ragans did just enough to go over 17.5 outs while recording a beastly 12 K. We came out winners on both pitcher props in the Atlanta/Chicago matchup, but the Cubs failed to build off their series opening win to take the series from the Braves. Here’s to more success betting into Hump Day’s baseball betting slate – SLAM YOUR MAN!!

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Detroit Tigers MLB Same Game Parlay:

We got involved in the opener of the Pirates abbreviated two-game series with the Tigers, and will do so in the series concluder as well with Paul Skenes set to make the fourth start of his professional career on his birthday. Through three starts and 16 total innings of work, the Buccos pitching phenom has more than looked the part of a stud for years to come. Already in the 98^th percentile of the strikeout category, the right-hander has already logged 21 while only issuing four free passes, and looks set up to ring up a high tally in this one running up against a Tigers lineup that collectively strikes out at a 23.2% rate. Detroit’s also had a much tougher time versus RHP (19-21, 4.1 RPG) than LHP (7-6, 4.8 RPG). After failing to exceed his K prop last time out, I expect Skenes to flourish in this prime get right spot.

Jack Flaherty has been an incredibly tough loser against the MLB odds through his 10 total starts and 61 total innings of work. The right-hander has given Detroit five straight quality starts, and only has a 1-3 record to show for it during that stretch. Overall, the righty stands 1-4 with a more than serviceable 3.84 ERA and 33.3% K rate that finds him in the league’s 97^th percentile. He’s averaged an insane 9.0 K/BB and limited opposing batters to a .247 batting average against. He has however struggled in this exact scenario at home (4.22 ERA) under the sun (3.69 ERA). With that, I’ll look for Flaherty to either take a no-decision or another tough-luck defeat with Detroit’s bullpen clocking in as one of the league’s worst over the past two weeks (#27).

New York Yankees vs. Los Angeles Angels MLB Same Game Parlay:

I’ll admit I’m late to the party with Luis Gil, but I blame it all on the Yankees giving him more than ample run support and wanted to see if his stuff was truly legit before buying in. While the caliber of opposition faced throughout the month of May has been less than stellar, I can’t argue with the overall body of work. The righty has simply been sensational in churning out five straight quality starts by way of allowing a measly 12 hits and 2 ER with a 35:10 K/BB ratio over nearly 31.0 total innings of work. Armed with a 96.5 MPH fastball (#11) and swinging strike and called strike + whiff percentages ranked amongst the league’s top-50 hurlers, the kid’s stuff looks to be for real. With his K rate in the 94^th percentile, Gil looks to be in line for another fantastic stat-building showing against an Angels lineup that’s been no stranger to going down on strikes evidenced by its near 25.0% K rate at home.

While the Halos have helped to boost our bankroll a few times over the last couple weeks, I fully expect them to be up against it in this spot. LA isn’t a good baseball team. Yes, it’s got some nice pieces to the puzzle, but overall, it leaves much to be desired. I’m also not a believer in what Tyler Anderson has brought to the table regardless of his 5-4 record and miniscule 2.52 ERA. His 4.29 FIP is more indicative of what the southpaw is truly all about, and he’ll be challenged mightily in this his 11^th overall start against a New York lineup that’s cooled off a bit but is still averaging 4.7 runs per game over the last week. Anderson’s been flat-out filthy under the lights (2.30 ERA), but I’m willing to pay up to see if that trend continues against arguably the toughest opponent he will have faced to date.
