Tuesday’s Best MLB Same Game Parlays
(Odds courtesy of BetMGM)
Washington Nationals vs. Colorado Rockies
Leg #1: Nationals Team Total Runs Over 6.5 (-110)
The Nationals have had one of the hottest offenses since the All-Star break, hitting .295 and scoring 36 runs across four games, including 23 runs in one game against the Athletics.
Washington scored seven runs yesterday and should be able to match or exceed that against Michael Lorenzen, who has a 7.78 ERA at home and is 1-4 in nine starts with a .350 opponents’ batting average.
Leg #2: Michael Lorenzen Over 3.5 Earned Runs (-105)
Michael Lorenzen has allowed more than 3.5 earned runs in just seven games this season, including two of his last eight. But Lorenzen is facing a team hitting the ball really well, and it's a home game inside hitter-friendly Coors Field.
Leg #3: Curtis Mead 3+ Total Bases (+150)
Curtis Mead has been a beast at the plate since the All-Star break, connecting in eight of his 16 at-bats for a .500 average, with four doubles.
At hitter-friendly Coors Field, I wouldn't be shocked to see Mead hit a home run. He had three hits yesterday (double, two singles) and could easily have a similar outing today.
Parlay Odds: +310 - A $100 wager will result in a $410 payday; your stake plus $310 in winnings.
Baltimore Orioles vs. Boston Red Sox
Leg #1: Red Sox -1.5 (+150)
With the Red Sox winning 14 in a row, you can't skip betting on Boston. The Moneyline would be a safer route, but Orioles pitcher Kyle Bradish is not bad. Still, he is getting in the way of a buzzsaw today.
Boston has covered the run line in 10 out of 14 games in their win streak. Today will make it 11 in 15.
Leg #2: Ceddanne Rafaela Over 1.5 Runs + Hits + RBIs (-150)
Ceddanne Rafaela has gone over this mark in 15 of his last 20 games and in four of his last five, including yesterday's 6-5 Boston win. With how well he and the rest of the team have been playing, it is not going to be hard for him to hit the over on this one.
Leg #3: Willson Contreras 2+ Total Bases (+110)
Since the break, Willson Contreras has gone over this total in three out of four games, twice with home runs and last night's three-hit game.
Contreras may be the most reliable offensive weapon the team has at the moment. He has faced Kyle Bradish before, going 2-for-4 with two home runs.
Parlay Odds: +425 - A $100 wager will result in a $525 payday; your stake plus $425 in winnings.
