MLB Same Game Parlay Picks, Odds & Predictions – Saturday, July 20
July 19, 2024CFB Futures – 2024 Kansas Jayhawks Win Total Odds
July 19, 2024We couldn’t have headed into the All-Star break with a better showing than what went down last Sunday when all seven of my suggested MLB parlay picks cashed in with relative ease. The Guardians and Rays played to the expected low scorer with Ben Lively hitting the under of his ER prop and Ryan Pepiot beasting his way through six scoreless innings to topple his outs prop. That was followed up with the Cubs taking out some frustration on the Redbirds tagging Miles Mikolas for 6 ER to topple its 3.5-run team total. Hat tip to Jameson Taillon for earning his seventh win in the process! We closed it out by successfully fading Chris Sale’s K prop, though it must be mentioned that I capped Dylan Cease’s start against the Braves perfectly after his start was moved up to Saturday. That would’ve made it a perfect 9-0 if y’all played along! Let’s continue stacking units at BetMGM Sportsbook to close out the week – SLAM YOUR MAN!!

Cincinnati Reds vs. Washington Nationals MLB Same Game Parlay:
Save for inexplicably dropping a three-game home set against the Detroit Tigers, the Reds wrapped the first half in good form taking down three of their other four series against the Marlins, Rockies, and Yankees. The last time David Bell’s troops hit the road, they went into the Bronx and took three straight from the Pinstripes! Though three-games under .500 to start the second half, a mark that’s cost MLB bettors upwards of $140 overall, I remain extremely bullish on this outfit and fully expect them to put forth a run that finds them in the thick of the playoff mix come September. As it stands right now, they sit 8-games out in the NL Central and 3-games out of a wild-card slot. This series against the Nats marks the first of three straight on the road to kick off the second half with the Braves and Rays up next. If this team is truly a bonafide playoff contender, it goes into D.C. and takes it to a lesser Washington team!
I expect Andrew Abbott to have the team in a position to at the very least take this series down Sunday afternoon with the left-hander looking to bounce back from one of his worst outings of the baseball betting season. Before getting tagged for seven hits (2 HR) and 5 ER through 3.1 innings by the Marlins of all teams, the lefty had allowed 28 hits (5 HR) and 12 ER with 36 K through his prior 39.1 innings over seven starts. Washington’s hitting .233 as a team against left-handed pitching overall, and just .234 over the last month. The clock looks to have struck midnight for Jake Irvin whose Cinderella campaign got derailed recently after getting lit up by the Mets and Brewers in his two most recent starts. A six inning arm at best, look for the Nationals below average bullpen to let the game get away from the home team and ultimately allow Cincy to add a number of insurance runs late.

Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Chicago Cubs MLB Same Game Parlay:
A week ago to the day, I rode Jameson Taillon and the Cubs not knowing they’d enter the series finale coming off a doubleheader sweep at the hands of the Redbirds. Begrudgingly, I still placed the wager on Chicago’s righty logging the win and his bats came to his aid after Christopher Morel and Pete Crow Armstrong each launched a pair of moon shots into the cheap seats. Not to take away from the Cubs offensive explosion, but Taillon remained in solid form regardless of coming an out short of logging a seventh straight quality start. Regardless, Chicago has come out on the right side of the scoreboard in four of his last five starts in which he’s only conceded 25 hits (5 HR), 11 ER and tallied an impressive 32:2 K/BB ratio.
Jordan Montgomery is slated to return to the Diamondbacks’ rotation for this one after being shut down to nurse a knee injury. Even before the righty went on the shelf, “The Bear” was hardly an arm requiring support on the MLB odds regardless of owning of a 6-5 record. The surface stats indicate he’s been nothing short of terrible with his ERA clocking in at 6.44 and 1.675 WHIP. The southpaw has been ripped for 11.9 hits and 1.1 home runs per nine innings all the while averaging just 1.96 K/BB. Chicago has been nothing short of a huge disappointment to this point of the baseball betting season, and knows full well time is running out to make a run to prevent upper management from blowing the whole thing up at the trade deadline. Look for the Cubs to close this series strong before attempting to trim its deficit in the division even more with Milwaukee in town for three starting Monday night.
