We are getting the weekend in Major League Baseball started with a 14-game slate on Friday night. The Braves and Marlins are kicking things off with a National League East contest at 6:40 pm ET, bookended with a 10:15 pm ET battle between the Pirates and Giants. An ESPN+ showdown featuring the Brewers and Cardinals gets underway at 8:15 pm ET and it is part of this mega parlay.
I cashed my most recent mega parlay at +937 odds on Monday, so let's keep the momentum going.
For this parlay we are going with one favorite on the run line and two underdogs on the money line. Let's break down each of the three legs one by one.
Padres -1.5 over Nationals (-140)
The new-look Padres may be starting to find their rhythm after acquiring Juan Soto and Josh Bell from Washington. They outscored the Giants 20-11 in the final two games of their recent series. A lineup featuring Soto, Bell, Manny Machado and Brandon Drury is too good to be held down for too long. San Diego also has Mike Clevinger on the mound, so it should be in good shape in both the hitting and pitching departments. The Nationals have the worst record in baseball and things have only been going from bad to worse of late. Look for Soto and company to victimize his former team without any trouble.
