The week in Major League Baseball continues with a full 15-game slate on Tuesday. It includes Guardians vs Yankees, Orioles vs Mets, Phillies vs Braves, Red Sox vs Astros and Mariners vs Dodgers. Let’s get into my MLB parlay picks for today, and be sure to check out all of our MLB picks for Tuesday, August 20.< /p>
For this MLB parlay, I am going with two favorites on the run line and one underdog on the money line. Let's break down each of the three legs.

New York Yankees -1.5 over Cleveland Guardians (+136)'
The Yankees are 20-5 against American League Central opponents this season as they head into the opener of this highly anticipated series with the Guardians. That's not to say that the Bronx Bombers are a mortal lock to win, but they should go into this contest with confidence. They are 2-1 against Cleveland in 2024 and should be in line to make it 3-1 with Luis Gil on the mound. Gil is 12-6 with a 3.25 ERA. The Guardians are countering with Matthew Boyd, who is making just his second start of the season. He is 1-3 with a 5.19 ERA lifetime against the Yankees. Aaron Judge and Juan Soto should continue to make life tough on Boyd. Look for New York to prevail by multiple runs on Tuesday night.
