Top MLB Parlay Odds & Picks for Friday, April 15th (2022)
We have to continue the second weekend of the baseball season by giving you some bets featuring two hot teams and one of the best hitters in the league. Here are some great bets to start your weekend.
(Odds courtesy DraftKings)
Arizona Diamondbacks vs. New York Mets (-1.5) O/U 8.5 (First Pitch: 1:10 p.m. ET)
Chris Bassitt had a lot of pressure as he needed to be the Opening Day start with Max Scherzer and Jason deGrom on the shelf. He held down by pitching six shutout innings, allowing three hits and eight strikeouts in a win over the Nationals. He’ll face off against a struggling Arizona offense 28th in runs per game (2.80) and last in batting average (.130).
The D-Backs are not just running into some bad luck at the plate; they just can’t hit as they’re near the bottom in barrel percentage and extra-base hit percentage.
Arizona will need an excellent pitching performance from Zach Davies. Davies had a solid outing against San Diego, allowing two earned in five innings, but walking three is not good. The base on balls was a struggle for Davies last season, with the Cubs allowing a career-high 4.6 walks per game, coming into that season, he averaged just 2.6.
New York has been a disciplined team as they are eighth in walk percentage, and Eduardo Escobar is top in the league with eight this season.
With the Mets starting the season playing well offensively and Arizona lacking it, Mew York will get the first win in this series.
Leg 1: Mets ML
New York Yankees (-1.5) vs. Baltimore Orioles O/U 9.5 (First Pitch 7:05 p.m. ET)
The Yankees own the Orioles, especially in Camden Yards. New York is 16-4 on the moneyline and 13-7 against the spread from 2019 to 2021. They’re going against Jordan Lyles, who struggled in his first start giving up five earned in five runs. A few Yankees have a good history against Lyles — DJ Lemahieu, who’s hitting .308, Anthony Rizzo has six RBI, and Giancarlo Stanton is hitting .444 with a home rune and four RBI.
The Yankees ended the homestand on a good note with a win against the Toronto and will keep it going in Baltimore.
Leg 2: Yankees ML
Austin Meadows over 0.5 hits vs. Kansas City Royals (First 8:10 p.m. ET)
After an all-star season in 2019, Meadows had struggled the last two seasons. Maybe it’s the change of scenery, but he’s currently tied for seventh with ten hits, and his .560 OBP is fourth. Brad Keller had a food start against Cleveland, but he’s still coming off a season going 8-12 with a 5.39 ERA. Meadows will keep the hot streak going tonight.
Leg 3: Austin Meadows over 0.5 hits
