Sunday’s MLB picks brought us another winning day, hitting on two of three selections. The regular season record keeps climbing, sitting at 66-46 ATS. Back at it today with a Tuesday Edition of our MLB parlay picks. Loyal followers know we target games, seeing respected money and, more precisely, reverse line movements. We have three additional selections on tap for you, along with some additional leans based strictly on the initial line movement. Betting lines discussed are the consensus at Vegas Insider and are subject to change.

MLB Parlay Leg #1: New York Yankees Alternate Team Total over 4.5 -164

In the leadoff spot of today’s MLB parlay is the New York Yankees’ alternate team total over 4.5 runs. New York is the biggest betting favorite on tonight’s MLB slate. The Yankees are averaging just over five runs per game on the year and 5.28 per game in their last seven at home. In addition, they have a history of success against the Minnesota Twins. Last night, the Bronx Bombers scored six runs and belted four homers off the Twins’ pitching staff. We like our chances backing the Yankees’ offense again this evening. New York Yankees alternate team total over 4.5 runs for play number one.

MLB Parlay Leg #2: Chicago Cubs ML +102

The middle leg features the Chicago Cubs over the Toronto Blue Jays. We spotted our staple reverse line movement in this one. The Cubs are seeing only 24% of the money, and the line continues to move in their direction. Chicago opened at +137 and is now sitting at almost even money. The Cubs, versus Toronto, are 6-4 SU in their last 10 games and 3-2 SU in the last five as an underdog. Toronto has lost two of three and is just 5-5 SU in its last 10 games as a favorite. We back the sharps in this one and take the Chicago Cubs on the moneyline for play number two!

MLB Parlay Leg #3: St. Louis Cardinals TT over 4.5 -122

Closing the MLB parlay will be the St. Louis Cardinals’ team total over 4.5 runs. Like a broken record, we continue to target the Colorado Rockies’ pitching staff. The Rockies’ pitching staff surprisingly showed well last night, allowing only three runs. However, that does not change the fact that they still allow seven runs per game on the year and 82 total runs over their last eight games overall.

Probable Colorado starter Kyle Freeland enters tonight’s game with a 5.73 ERA and a 2-12 won-loss record. In his last three starts, he has a 8.18 ERA in 13.2 innings pitched. This play has been very profitable for us over the last 7-10 days. Give us the St. Louis Cardinals team total over 4.5 runs for play number three!

Additional Leans: Pirates ML, Royals TT over 4.5, Diamondbacks ML, Dodgers TT over 3.5

Final Thoughts

Our MLB parlays are to provide our followers with three individual wagers. We will play these picks SU and then sprinkle some on the parlay. Remember, the hit rate on a three-team parlay is about 6-1, and parlays in general are just not a long-term profitable betting strategy. Hitting on the parlay is simply icing on the cake. We try and avoid public plays, which tend to be the betting favorites. Please follow us on X and Facebook as the MLB season continues toward the Fall Classic. Let’s keep our successful MLB season going and get you another three winners. And remember to: Follow or Fade!
