We are beginning a new week in Major League Baseball with a small nine-game slate on Monday. It starts at 2:10 pm ET, when the White Sox pay a visit to the Royals. Wrapping up the schedule is showdown between the Dodgers and Brewers at 10:10 pm ET on ESPN+. We also have game one of another Subway Series between the Mets and Yankees.
Let's take a look at the three components of this 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.
Rays -1.5 over Angels (+110)
The Rays took 3 out of 4 games from the Royals over the weekend and currently hold the top wild-card spot in the American League. With so much urgency, they won’t be taking a bad opponent lightly. The only threat L.A. poses is having Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout at the top of the lineup. Trout made his return from the injured list over the weekend but it didn’t seem to make much of a difference, as the Angels lost 2 out of 3 to the Tigers. Now they face a much trickier task in this matchup against Tampa Bay’s Jeffrey Springs, who is sporting a 5-3 record and 2.52 ERA. Springs has allowed more than 4 earned runs just one time this season and behind him the Rays’ bullpen ranks 8th in the league in team ERA. For the Angels, Tucker Davidson is saddled with a 6.75 ERA and 5.41 FIP at the MLB level. This has beatdown written all over it.
