Thursday features one of the smallest slates we’ve seen all season. Only 12 teams will take the field on Thursday night, so there will be very limited action to watch and bet on. The slate begins with a 2:10 PM first pitch in Kansas City and concludes with a 10:10 first pitch in Los Angeles. Here is my 3-team parlay at over 8/1 odds from FanDuel Sportsbook.

Boston Red Sox -1.5 (-120) over Washington Nationals
Baseball is better when Chris Sale is healthy. Boston's injury-prone ace has only made 12 starts this season since he's been battling several different injuries, but he is finally healthy and back in the rotation. Sale missed over two months due to a shoulder injury that many thought could end his season. However, the lefty returned last week against the Royals and took a no-hit bid into the 5th inning before allowing a home run. Sale struck out 7 and did not allow a walk as he looked like he was back in his prime. If the Red Sox are going to make a postseason push and attempt to steal a Wild Card spot, these are the types of games in which Boston needs to win. The Nationals can only play spoiler at this point, and Boston can't afford to lose to a last-placed team.
