MLB Same Game Parlay Picks, Odds & Predictions – Tuesday, August 20
August 19, 2024BMW Championship Odds and Picks
August 20, 2024Two straight days of making charitable donations were completely wiped away with last Wednesday’s MLB parlay picks after we busted out the broom and swept all six leg recommendations. Cole Ragans and the Royals got the day started off on the right foot after the lefty tossed seven inning of 1 ER ball to help lead Kansas City to the 4-1 triumph to avoid getting swept in the Twin Cities. Grant Holmes got the job done for us in the nightcap by the Bay where he threw seven strong and surpassed his 5.5 K prop to propel Atlanta to the commanding 13-2 win as short road dogs. Robbie Ray didn’t’ even see the second inning making the under of his total outs prop one of our easiest cashes of the baseball betting season at Caesars Sportsbook. Here’s to running it back and mimicking last week’s showing with a fresh batch of 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.

Baltimore Orioles vs. New York Mets MLB Same Game Parlay:
Coming off a series split with the Red Sox at home, the O’s hit the road for a three-game interleague set with the Mets looking to keep pace with the Yankees. Baltimore and New York are currently tied atop the AL East standings with both squads ranked amongst the best teams to back on the MLB odds. Though the Orioles have been a losing investment for baseball bettors in the comforts of Camden Yards (-$167), they’ve handled their business and some on the road where they enter this series 12 games over .500 and up nearly $700 for their wagering supporters. They’re set to line up against three straight left-handed pitchers in this series, and that bodes extremely well for the team’s chances of taking down this series considering how effective Gunnar Henderson and Co. have been stepping into the box to oppose LHP (#8).
However, it’s been even better of late with the team raking southpaws to the tune of a .293 batting average (#3), .361 on-base percentage (#3), and .834 OPS (#5) dating back to August 1st. On the road through 101 plate appearances, the average shoots all the way up to .312 (#7) and OPS .893 (#5)! While Sean Manaea is currently in the midst of a renaissance campaign and he’s had success against some of the O’s bats in the past, I don’t foresee his stuff holding up in the finale. His 9-5 record has been bolstered by running up against a number of mediocre to poor offenses over the last few months. Let’s see how he holds up against one of the big boys! Adding another layer of support for the visitors in this spot is Zach Eflin who’s pitched like a man possessed since coming over from the Tampa Bay in logging quality starts and wins against the closing MLB odds versus the Guardians, Rays, and Red Sox.

Philadelphia Phillies vs. Atlanta Braves MLB Same Game Parlay:
The last time we faded Aaron Nola, it paid off when the D’backs tagged him for nine hits (2 HR) and 3 ER over 5 innings. Though he rebounded with 6.2 shutout innings against the Nationals, we’ll jump back on the fade train against the Braves, who are very familiar with him. The right-hander has been most susceptible on the road (3.80 ERA) as well as under the lights (3.72 ERA), and he’s already been lit up by Atlanta’s offense for 16 hits (4 HR) and 9 ER through 10.1 innings over two starts this MLB betting season. The righty has tallied just 16 K in his last four starts and issued eight walks during that stretch.
Though we successfully faded Max Fried on the baseball betting odds in his most recent start at San Francisco, it had everything to do with Logan Webb taking to the Oracle Park bump. You don’t step in front of him at home if you can avoid it! That being said, I still came away a bit impressed with what Fried was able to do only giving up five hits and 3 ER with 5 K in his deepest start since returning from the IL (5.1 IP). I’m thinking the rust has finally been shaken off and he’ll get back to dominating opposing lineups in short order. He’ll have his work cut out for him no doubt with Philadelphia raking LHP to the tune of a .342 average (#3) and .969 OPS (#2) on the road since August 1 (81 plate appearances), but he’ll be throwing with a chip on his shoulder after the Phillies tagged him twice to date. Look for a huge rebound effort and for Atlanta to ride it to a dub.
