Following an eventful Monday night on the diamond, the MLB action doesn’t slow down with a full 15-game slate on the docket today, including multiple series’ that have major playoff implications. With every team in action, there is plenty to attack and craft an MLB parlay. Let’s dive into today’s MLB parlay picks, as games get underway at 6:40 pm ET with the Astros taking on the Phillies and concludes with the Orioles taking on the Dodgers at 10:10 pm ET.' You can also check out all of our MLB picks for the action on Tuesday, August 27.
For this MLB parlay, I am going with a bet on the Diamondbacks money line and the Dodgers run line, plus the Braves vs Twins game to go under the total.
Arizona Diamondbacks ML over New York Mets (-110)
To start it off, I’m going with the Arizona Diamondbacks on the money line in this crucial NL showdown in the desert. These days, it’s almost shocking when the Diamondbacks actually lose. Arizona has the best record in baseball since the All-Star break and I don’t see that torrid pace letting up anytime soon, especially as they head home following a successful sweep of the Boston Red Sox over the weekend. This Arizona lineup has been extremely successful at home, so I’m not phased by Sean Manaea getting the start for New York, even as he’s experiencing a career resurgence of sorts (3.48 ERA.) Manea will be opposed by veteran southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez, who has allowed 3 or fewer runs in each of his 3 starts in an Arizona uniform. What’s more impressive is that Rodriguez has kept the ball in the yard in both of his past 2 outings across 10.1 innings pitched, so let’s back the veteran lefty and this Arizona lineup to stay hot at home in this one.
Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 over Baltimore Orioles (+105)'
For the second leg of this parlay, I’m going with the Los Angeles Dodgers on the run line. The hosts will see Jack Flaherty make his 5th start overall and 3rd home start with his new team after being acquired from Detroit at the trade deadline. The veteran has looked revitalized this season, boasting one of the best strikeout and walk rates across all of baseball. He should also be given run support by a Dodgers offense that has really rounded into form over the last 10 games. While it’s not an easy task to take on this deep and talented Baltimore lineup, Flaherty is still clearly the preferred starting option in this game, especially at home.'
