Not a banner day for us last time out, going 0-3 ATS with our MLB Parlay picks. Time to bounce back with a Tuesday edition from on the diamond. Wednesday’s results dropped our record to 72-56 ATS YTD. 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: Minnesota Twins ML +146

Leading off today’s MLB parlay will be the Minnesota Twins over the Toronto Blue Jays. We spotted a significant reverse line movement in this one. The Twins are seeing just 7% of the money and yet have dropped from an opening +181 underdog down to +146. Despite the tough matchup against the American League-leading Blue Jays, the Twins are 6-4 SU in their last 10 on the road against them. Minnesota scheduled starter Bailey Ober has a 3.17 ERA over his previous three starts. Toronto has been playing well, but we follow the respected money. Minnesota Twins money line for play number one!

MLB PARLAY LEG#2: New York Mets ML -108

The middle leg features the New York Mets over the Philadelphia Phillies. The Mets are another team in a reverse line movement spot tonight. They opened as a +115 underdog and are now -108 co-favorite. All this despite New York seeing just 33% of the money. The Mets are 6-4 SU in their last 10 overall and 7-3 SU in the last 10 against the Phillies. In addition, they have won nine of their last 10 against Philadelphia at Citi Field, including five straight. New York Mets money line for play number two!

MLB PARLAY LEG#3: Houston Astros TT over 4.5 runs -150

Closing out tonight’s MLB parlay will be the Houston Astros team total over 4.5 runs. The Astros get to face the abysmal Colorado Rockies and their pitching staff, allowing six runs per game. Houston, on the season, is scoring just under 4.5 runs per game and seven runs per game in their last four overall. Colorado’s probable starter, Tanner Gordon, enters the game with a 7.11 ERA on the year and has allowed 16 earned runs over his last two road starts. The Astros are the biggest chalk on the MLB betting slate and should be able to cover the 4.5 runs we need to hit. Houston Astros over 4.5 runs for play number three!

Additional Leans:

Our MLB parlays provide 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 to 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!
