Last Thursday’s MLB parlay picks were frustrating to say the least due to pitching changes and being unable to find odds for a few suggested positions. We only ended up having action on three of six legs and finished with a losing 1-2 showing for the day. While the matinee between the Mets and Rockies went under the closing total, not even opposing a Rockies team allergic to taking walks allowed David Peterson to tame the free passes. After splitting there, we lost our lone position in the Angels and Yankees game after New York for one reason or another failed to get the best of Tyler Anderson and didn’t exceed their 4.5-run team total in the process. Let’s get back to taking it to Caesars Sportsbook with another assortment of MLB parlay legs for Thursday’s getaway day slate – 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. New York Mets MLB Same Game Parlay:

Go figure the A’s go on a tear and I swing and miss each of the last two times I got involved. I backed them in the opener at Toronto in a game the offense simply had no clue how to get to Jose Berrios, and then faded them in the finale when they took Chris Bassitt out behind the woodshed and served up a good ‘ol fashioned beating. They’re 4-1 versus the closing baseball betting odds in their last five games after crushing the Mets 9-4 in the series opener. They treated Paul Blackburn very unkind in the first start against his former mates. Regardless of how the second game plays out Wednesday night, I’m riding the fade train in the finale with Mitch Spence set to run up against Jose Quintana.

Oakland’s right-hander has been yawnstipating to say the least in going 7-8 with a 4.33 ERA backed by a FIP in the same ball park (4.21). The A’s have dropped each of his August starts in which he’s been gotten for 13 hits (1 HR) and 4 ER with a pedestrian 8:3 K/BB ratio over 11.1 combined innings. He’s been at his worst on the road (4.96 ERA) and in day games (6.06 ERA), and gets the displeasure of throwing at a Mets lineup that much prefers digging in against RHP (#8). While that hasn’t been the case since the calendar turned to August, the offense is due some positive regression in that respect and Spence is just the guy to offer it up. While not enamored with Quintana at this point of his career, New York’s southpaw has been solid at home (3.38 ERA) and under the sun (3.50 ERA), and the A’s have been putrid against LHP overall (#22) and even more so over the last two weeks with the offense batting an absurd .175 (#26). Look for Pete Alonso and Co. to give him some breathing room early that allows for the lefty to tally win No. 7 and get the home team back in the win column.

QUINTANA PITCHER WIN
METS OVER TEAM TOTAL
SPENCE OVER HITS ALLOWED

Atlanta Braves vs. San Francisco Giants MLB Same Game Parlay:

This series against the Braves has been a rough one for the homebased Giants to swallow. After suffering a 1-0 defeat in the opener in game of dueling starters, San Francisco dropped the second game in extras by a 4-3 final to fall to a single game over .500 that finds them 2.5-games out of the third and final NL wild-card slot. I’ve already staked a position on Atlanta in Wednesday’s game, so I’ll be banking on the Giants heading into this match looking to avoid suffering a disastrous sweep. No better hurler to have on the starting bump for a game like that than Logan Webb who has shined in the comforts of Oracle Park where the right-hander stands 6-3 with a 3.32 ERA and .259 batting average against while logging a 58:14 K/BB ratio over 76.0 total innings. He already tossed a masterpiece at the Braves in Atlanta this season back on July 4 when he hurled seven innings of 2 ER ball with 6 K to move to 3-1 lifetime against the NL East reps.

At some point, things will start to click once again for Max Fried who’s looked nothing like his early-season self through two starts since coming off the IL back on August 4. In a pair of outings against the weak hitting Marlins and Rockies, the left-hander has been had for 11 hits (1 HR) and 9 ER while logging a 15:8 K/BB ratio through 8.1 combined innings. San Francisco’s lineup has been much better against LHP (#6) than RHP (#21) overall, but enters this tilt only batting .167 (#22) with a dead last .400 OPS at home since the beginning of August. Much of that has to do with running up against Chris Sale and Charlie Morton the first two games of this series. With Fried the third lefty the offense will oppose in the last four days, I’m of the belief the bats bust out against Atlanta’s starter currently riding the struggle bus to take the finale and finally cash in against the MLB odds.
