Wednesday will feature another long day of baseball as we are treated to a few afternoon games before heading into the massive night time slate. As always, we’ve crafted a mega parlay for the action that you certainly won’t want to miss! Let’s get right into the +855 parlay.
For this parlay we are going with two alternate totals and one favorite on the run line. Let's break down each of the three legs one by one.
St. Louis Cardinals -1.5 over Cincinnati Reds (-130)'
The Cardinals are close to becoming an automatic bet when facing a lefty pitcher. They are 20-9 against a southpaw starter and rank 1st in OPS, wOBA and wRC+ when facing left-handed pitching. They will get the pleasure of facing Mike Minor on Wednesday night, and the veteran has had a rough 2022 season, to say the least. He's posted a 6.10 ERA and a 1.54 WHIP through 79.2 innings and has only gotten worse as the season has progressed. He has allowed at least 4 runs in 3 of his 5 starts this month, but it's important to realize that in the 2 starts he didn't came against the Marlins and Nationals – two of the worst offenses in baseball.
Minor is allowing a .286 batting average at Great American Ball Park and a .298 batting average in the second half of the season. Nolan Arenado and Paul Goldschmidt are a combined 12-for-27 (.444) against Minor in their careers, so this game should see the Cardinals scoring early and often.
