We continue with the MLB week with a 16-game slate on Tuesday night. Many teams had Monday off which means a lot of series will start today, so what better way to celebrate Tuesday’s massive slate of games than with a four leg mega parlay! Let’s get right into it!
For this parlay we are going with two favorites on the run line, one underdog on the run line, and one alternate total. Let's break down each of the four legs one by one.
Philadelphia Phillies -1.5 over Miami Marlins (-108)
As displayed by their outburst against Patrick Corbin and the Nationals, the Phillies smash left-handed pitching. Philadelphia ranks 6th in OPS and 9th in wRC+ against lefty pitching this season, and their offense has never been hotter as they've scored 31 runs in their last 3 games. They will face Braxton Garrett of the Marlins, who has had a decent third season, but he hasn't faced too many tough offenses yet. When he did face solid lefty hitting lineups like the Cardinals or Giants, Garrett got hit hard.
Zack Wheeler at home is a hard spot to ignore. The ace has a 1.58 ERA with a 0.80 WHIP in 62.2 innings at Citizens Bank Park this season. The Phillies have won 11 of Wheeler's 20 starts this season, and 10 of those wins have come by at least 2 runs. When the Phillies win with Wheeler, it's usually a big win since Philadelphia has won those 11 starts by an average of 3.81 runs. Back Philadelphia to continue smashing lefties and pick up a multiple-run win.
