We snapped a mini two-day losing stretch with last Wednesday’s MLB parlay picks by cashing four of five parlay legs with action. Blake Snell tallied 8 K to topple his 6.5 K prop while the San Francisco Giants got the job done logging the 7-4 win against the Nats to exceed their 4.5-run team total with ease. We unfortunately failed to sweep the other same game parlay picks after the Brewers and Braves combined for a high scorer with Freddy Peralta and Chris Sale on the bump. The latter did however barely manage to topple his 5.5 K prop allowing us to recoup some of the losses absorbed at Caesars Sportsbook the prior two days. Tip of the cap to anyone that envisioned the Brew Crew’s explosion in Truist! Here’s to another showing in the black with this week’s Hump Day edition Same Game Parley leg recommendations – 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.

Kansas City Royals vs. Minnesota Twins MLB Same Game Parlay:

Things have gone a bit sideways for the Royals over the last week. Since sweeping the White Sox and taking three of four from the Tigers in Detroit, Kansas City has only managed to cash in against the closing MLB odds in two of their last five games dropping the series to the Red Sox and splitting with the Cardinals. In doing so, it allowed the Twins to leap frog them in the division standings and push them into the No. 3 seed in the AL wild-card race. With that, it goes without saying just how important this three-game set is with their division rivals. Luckily for them, they get stud left-hander Cole Ragans on the bump in the finale after throwing Brady Singer and Seth Lugo at the Twinkies in the opening two games.

Despite only allowing 13 hits (1 HR) and 4 earned runs with a solid 16:4 K/BB ratio in his two starts against Minnesota this season, the left-hander is 0-2 to show for it. However, I expect the third time to be the charm, especially considering how poorly the Twins have fared against lefties in the last two weeks, batting just .174 (#29) with a 25.8% strikeout rate. On the flip side, Kansas City will face Bailey Ober, who has been torched by the Royals for a .486 batting average and six home runs in just 6.1 combined innings. Ober is probably still having nightmares about Bobby Witt Jr., who has hit .563 against him! The Royals are batting .292 against right-handers over the last two weeks (#4) and need to stay hot if they want to stay in what’s turned into a tight race for a wild-card spot.

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

Oracle Park will have a playoff atmosphere for Hump Day night’s throw down between the Braves and Giants with each squad in the thick of the NL wild-card race. As it stands following the weekend, Atlanta is the placeholder of the third and final wild-card spot, while the Giants sit just 2.5-games out. That could all change come the third game of this extended series with Grant Holmes set to square off against Robbie Ray who will be making his fifth start since returning to San Francisco’s starting rotation. The former Cy Young Award winner has been decent in going 2-1 with a 3.98 ERA while holding the opposition to a .211 batting average against. Walks and the long ball have however been problem areas with the lefty issuing 4.0 free passes and 2.2 home runs per nine innings. That doesn’t bode well for him running up against a Braves offense that’s launched 149 balls into orbit (#5).

While the strikeout could prove to be his saving grace with Atlanta fanning against left-handed pitching at a 33.3% clip over the last two weeks (#29), I think he’ll have an issue going deep into this one if they don’t show up or the Braves take him into numerous deep counts. I’m not bullish, and expect Atlanta to send him to the showers early. The same can be said of Holmes as well with the right-hander serving up 16 hits (3 HR) and 9 ER in his 14.2 combined innings since being thrust into the starting rotation. However, the righty has been solid in the strikeout and walk departments evidenced by a 20:4 K/BB ratio against the Brewers, Marlins, and Rockies. San Francisco’s been league average in the K department overall (#17), but has fanned at a 24.3% clip against RHP over the last two weeks (#20). Provided Caesars hangs a K prop for the right-hander, I think he smashes it and puts the Braves in a position to cash in on the baseball betting odds.
