BOOM, back-to-back parlay hits as Monday was another clean sweep. We go for three straight with a Wednesday Edition of our MLB parlay picks. That raises are season record to 61-42 ATS. 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 on the initial line movement. Betting lines discussed are the consensus at Vegas Insider and are subject to change.

In the leadoff spot of today’s MLB parlay is the Detroit Tigers team total over 4.5. The Tigers are a heavy favorite in this early matchup versus the Minnesota Twins. Detroit enters today averaging just under five runs per game and six per game in their last nine overall. Scheduled Twins starter Pierson Ohl brings a 7.50 ERA into today’s game. Over 6 innings pitched, he has allowed 9 hits and 5 earned runs. The Tigers’ bat should be able to cover this number in a plus matchup. Detroit Tigers team total over 4.5 for play number one!

MLB Parlay Leg#2: Cincinnati Reds ML +118

The middle leg of today’s parlay features the Cincinnati Reds over the Chicago Cubs. We spotted a reverse line movement with the Reds seeing under 50% of the money, and the line keeps moving in their direction. Cincinnati opened at +144 and has since dropped to +118.

The Reds have won three straight, four of five, and 7-3 in the last 10 overall. On the other side, the Cubs are 4-6 SU in both their last 10 games at Wrigley Field and as a favorite. In addition, scheduled Reds starter Andrew Abbott is having a terrific season. Abbott enters today with a 8-1 record and a 2.15 ERA. We follow the sharps here and play the Cincinnati Reds moneyline for play number two!

MLB Parlay Leg#3: Toronto Blue Jays Alternate TT over 5.5 -186

To close out the parlay, we go right back and take the Toronto Blue Jays alternate team total over 5.5 runs. We continue to pick on the Colorado Rockies’ horrid pitching staff, yielding six runs per game on the season. Toronto has already scored 25 runs in the first two games of this series and is scheduled to face Kyle Freeland this afternoon.

The Colorado lefty is 2-11 with a 5.26 ERA on the year. We do not need to overthink this one. The game features the MLB slate’s highest implied game total, and Toronto should have no issues covering the six runs we need to cash. Give us the Blue Jays team total over 5.5 runs for play number three!

Final Thoughts

The beauty of our MLB parlays is that we can provide our followers with three individual plays. 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 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 the hot streak going and get you another three winners. And remember: Follow or Fade!

Parlay Odds: +514 and +617 with available profit boost
