August is coming to a close and September is almost here. The last full month of the 2022 Major League Baseball regular season begins on Thursday, so it's a big week on the diamond. Monday's slate is a relatively small one, with only eight games on the menu as almost half of the teams around the league are in between series. The Dodgers, Cardinals and Yankees are all in action, however, and the schedule is wrapping up with a late game between NL West rivals San Diego and San Francisco.
Here is today's mega parlay.
For this parlay we are going with three favorites on the run line. Let's break down each of the three legs one by one.
Twins -1.5 over Red Sox (+140)
The Red Sox have almost no chance of making the playoffs and their pitching staff is mostly to blame. Things may get worse before they get better, too, because Nathan Eovaldi is on the injured list. As a result, rookie Brayan Bello is starting against the Twins on Monday. Bello is 0-3 with a 7.36 ERA. Now he has to face the Twins in Minnesota. The Twins were at home this past weekend and took the series against the Giants. Opposing Bello is Dylan Bundy, who has not allowed more than two runs in any of his four August starts. He surrendered just one run to Boston during an 8-3 Minnesota victory earlier this season. The Red Sox have lost all six of Bello's starts and the Twins look poised to extend that streak to seven without too much trouble.
