Our recent heater betting into the MLB odds came to a screeching halt last Friday when my parlay picks took a major turn for the worst. It all started in the City of Brotherly Love where Aaron Nola was simply just too good leading the Phillies to the 4-2 series opening win against the Cardinals. Though we cashed two of three legs in the pitching matchup between Jose Urena and Sixto Sanchez, the former only gave up four hits on his 65 pitches thrown over just 2.1 innings. The Dodgers proved to be the cherry on top of a brutal night after making Dakota Hudson look like Cy Young himself. Here’s to achieving some better results with tonight’s parlay leg recommendations over at BetMGM Sportsbook – SLAM YOUR MAN!!

Chicago Cubs vs. Cincinnati Reds MLB Same Game Parlay:

Let’s try this again shall we? I figured Justin Steele would be able to mow down the Reds in his last turn at home toeing the Wrigley bump. Unfortunately, Seiya Suzuki had other plans after his crucial error early on allowed Cincinnati to plate four unearned runs due to his mishap gauging a fly ball. Take that mix-up out of the equation, and the Cubs right-hander would’ve only conceded six hits and 1 ER through his five innings of work. While the four walks did him no favors and Cincy continues to be one of the best teams in the league at taking walks (#7), I fully expect No. 35 to be locked in for this redemption start in the GAB that’s proven to be nothing short of a nightmare for the left-hander evidenced by his career 12.00 ERA and .290 batting average against in the venue.

Nick Lodolo hasn’t been himself since returning from the IL in allowing 12 hits and only registering a 6:1 K/BB ratio over 11.1 combined innings. Even so, he held the hot-hitting Cardinals to 1 ER through 5.1 innings and only 2 ER to the Cubs through six innings last time out. Though Chicago busted out late to defeat the White Sox in the opener of the Crosstown Classic, I’ll pay up to see if it was for real or just a mirage knowing how rough it’s been for the offense to consistently plate runs for the better part of the last month. Neither of these teams have fared well with starting southpaws on the bump with Chicago 4-8 (-$470) and Cincinnati 8-12 (-$500), so I’ll look for each offense to struggle early with both hurlers bringing their “A” games.

Arizona Diamondbacks vs. San Diego Padres MLB Same Game Parlay:

The D’backs have made a recent run to get back in the NL Wild Card mix, but in this rubber meets the road series with San Diego, it’s the Padres that we’ll be looking to back at BetMGM on the baseball betting odds in the second game of this extended series. While Brandon Pfaadt has given MLB bettors glimpses in spots this year, I just don’t trust that he has the stuff to be a dependable pitcher start in and start out. His fastball/sweeper combo has equated to a 2-4 record and 4.32 ERA that’s backed up by a more than decent 3.09 FIP. That being said, the right-hander has been at his worst on the road (4.71 ERA) under the lights (5.36 ERA), and he was already raked by the Friars for 10 hits (1 HR) and 3 ER with only 4 K back on May 4.

Michael King is a starter we’ll be looking to back a ton over the back half of the MLB betting season. The Yankees import has represented well in his first go-round in beautiful San Diego getting out to a 4-4 record with a 3.82 ERA, .216 batting average against, and solid 78:31 K/BB ratio. Though walks have been an issue (3.8/9), the righty has served up two or fewer in each of his last four starts. For one reason or another, Petco hasn’t treated him kindly evidenced by his bloated 5.06 ERA, but he currently looks to be in a groove having allowed just 2 ER over his last two starts (12 IP) and he’s already fired off six shutout innings at the Snakes in the desert this season. He’s bound to experience some positive regression in his own ball park, so this looks to be as good a spot as any to bank on that occurring with the offense likely to hang a crooked number on Zona’s starter.
