We are continuing the week in Major League Baseball with a full 15-game slate on Tuesday. Both the Mets and Yankees are in action as they look to hold off challengers in their respective divisions. The Mets were supposed to open their series against the Pirates on Monday, but that contest got rained out. A more intriguing matchup is in store for the Yankees, who will face the Twins again after taking the series opener on Monday. Meanwhile, the schedule is wrapping up with a 10:10 pm ET start time between National League West rivals San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Let's take a look at the three components of today's mega parlay.
For this parlay we are going with two favorites on the run line and one underdog on the money line. Let's break down each of the three legs one by one.
Phillies -1.5 over Marlins (+110)
The Phillies are coming off a forgettable west-coast road trip, but they are still in a solid position for a National League wild-card spot. Now they are hosting the Marlins, who have been atrocious since the all-star break. They were just swept by the Braves in a series in which they scored just a single run in each game. Outside of NL Cy Young favorite Sandy Alcantara, there isn't much going for this Miami team. Alcantara won't be on the mound for this one, so fading the Fish pretty much automatically becomes a good play. Jesus Luzardo is toeing the rubber and Miami has lost 7 of his last 8 starts – hat includes losses to some bad teams like the A's and Reds. Philadelphia should have no trouble winning big behind starter Aaron Nola.
