Sunday brings yet another exciting day of MLB action as all 30 teams are scheduled to play, while many wrap up their series. Today's slate begins in St. Louis between the Cardinals and the Boston Red Sox and comes to a close on ESPN at 7:10 PM ET with a matchup between the San Diego Padres and the Atlanta Braves. For Sunday's mega parlay I have a pair of teams on the money line and one team to cover the run line, paying out at +838 odds on Fanduel Sportsbook.< /span>
Below I'll provide an in-depth analysis of each game and the value that lies within each pick.' For more action, be sure to check out our MLB predictions page which takes a look at some of the games not covered in this article. With that said, let's take a look at Sunday's MLB mega parlay.
San Francisco Giants -1.5 over Colorado Rockies (+106)
The Colorado Rockies hot streak came to a screeching halt over the weekend, dropping back-to-back games to the San Francisco Giants, losing 10-5 on Friday followed by a 14-4 loss on Saturday. The consecutive losses come on the heels of a 7-game winning streak for the Rockies, who have just 15 total wins on the year. Other than the 7-game winning streak, Colorado has not won back-to-back games at any other point this season. The 2 losses to San Francisco also brought their head-to-head record to 1-4. For the Giants, the wins extended their winning streak to 3 games and they will look to close the series out on a high note before heading to Pittsburgh on Tuesday for a 3-game set with the Pirates.
The first 2 games of this series have been largely dominated by San Francisco's lineup, who compiled 32 hits for 24 runs. The Giants have themselves another favorable matchup this afternoon when Rockies' starter Dakota Hudson makes his 9th start of the season. Through 8 outings, the right-hander has been inconsistent, posting a 6.13 ERA and 1.69 WHIP with his last 5 outings going less than 6.0 innings. On May 7, the Giants were all over Hudson, who completed just 3.2 innings after surrendering 4 runs on 5 hits and 5 walks. Walks have been a recurring issue for Hudson with 25 walks to just 23 strikeouts. I see this game going much the same way as it did in their prior matchup on May 7.
