We closed the week with a sixth straight day in the black after last Sunday’s MLB parlay picks swept the board once again. Zack Wheeler beasted by tossing eight innings of shutout ball with 8 K, while Logan Gilbert did his part limiting the damage before departing and forcing us to hold on for dear life to cash the under bet after the M’s pen proceeded to get blasted for six hits and runs. The day closed under the lights of ESPN Sunday Night Baseball with the Cubs securing the 6-2 win to exceed their 4.5-run team total. Justin Steele logged 20 outs to bury his outs prop along the way! We got the best of BetMGM Sportsbook and will look to do it again as we close out another week on the diamond – SLAM YOUR MAN!!

Reduced juice betting is one of the best ways for any sports bettor to save money and far too many people don’t take advantage of it. If you are not playing at a sportsbook that offers reduced juice betting then you are simply giving away money.

Oakland Athletics vs. Toronto Blue Jays MLB Same Game Parlay:

After going off the betting board as a decided -201 favorite and coming through against the White Sox last time out, J.P. Sears remained in the zone to log his ninth win of the season. It’s crazy to think for a team that currently sits 20-games under the .500 mark for the season, but Oakland has shockingly come out victorious against the closing MLB odds six of the last seven times the left-hander took to the starting bump. Of the 18 wins the team has scored dating back to June 28, he’s played a role in 33.3 percent of them! That just might have the southpaw installed a favorite on the road for the first time in 2024 when he takes the hill on Sunday to square off against the Blue Jays. While Toronto has been an enormous disappointment, I’m not buying into that just yet, regardless of backing Sears a number of times to date.

While the Blue Jays have shown improvement against left-handed pitching since July 1 by hitting .251 as a team overall (#13) with a .318 OBP (#16) and ,709 OPS (#17), it’s who they’ll march to the starting bump that has me bullish on the home team holding serve in this one. Chris Bassitt’s 9-10 overall record doesn’t impress, but what does is his ability to keep the ball in the yard (0.9 HR/9) and come up with stellar outings on occasion. Much like he just did after tossing seven innings of 2 ER ball at the Orioles with 9 K. The righty has been his best at home holding the opposition to a .263 batting average against. Save for Brent Rooker and J.J. Bleday, the A’s have been wretched against the sinker per Stat Cast. If that pitch type is on for the veteran, I foresee back-to-back quality starts being logged. Hammer the BJs if dogged in this one!

BLUE JAYS MONEYLINE
SEARS OVER EARNED RUNS
BASSITT OVER OUTS

Cincinnati Reds vs. Milwaukee Brewers MLB Same Game Parlay:

The Reds will be up in Milwaukee for another “Sunday Funday” at Miller Park where the Brewers will attempt to keep the dominance of its division rival intact. Milwaukee will return home for this series off an impressive demolition of the Braves in Atlanta where they took all three games to remain comfortably perched in the catbird seat of the NL Central standings. The showing came as quite the surprise considering the Brew Crew had dropped each of its prior three series against the closing baseball betting lines. I made mention of the regression earlier this week when I recommended staking a position on the under in the showdown between Freddy Peralta and Charlie Morton. As it ended up, Morton got pushed back and Chris Sale was moved up. It wouldn’t have mattered anyway. Milwaukee’s sticks erupted blowing the under out of the water almost immediately. But before that, the Brewers only averaged 3.5 runs per game in their prior 12!

I still don’t think the regression is over regardless of lighting Atlanta pitching up for 8+ runs in each contest. Nick Lodolo is an arm that Milwaukee has seen very little of with the lefty amassing just three starts and 18.1 innings throughout his spotty three-year career, surprising considering the Reds and Brewers share the same division. Regardless, he’s been very successful throughout the limited work in going 1-0 and allowing 13 hits (4 HR) and 6 ER with a K/BB ratio of 21:5. The southpaw has been his best on the road (2.84 ERA) as well as in day games (3.86 ERA) leading me to believe he’ll be up to the task of matching wits with Colin Rea who is in the midst of a career year in his age-34 season. The time is now for the Redlegs to make a run, and it starts this weekend in Milwaukee where it dropped two of three in the middle of June.
