The NLDS continues today with the Atlanta Braves looking to even the series with the Philadelphia Phillies, while the Los Angeles Dodgers attempt to go up 2-0 on the San Diego Padres.

We fell one leg short in yesterday's parlay when the Guardians couldn't keep their game with the Yankees close.

I'm back with another parlay for today's two games. Let's dive into it.

Best MLB Parlay Bets Today

Phillies +1.5 (-172) vs. Braves

The Braves won with their third starter yesterday, and now they send out their number one ace, Zack Wheeler, to take on the Braves number two pitcher, Kyle Wright.

The Phillies were my bet to win the National League, so I'm going to keep riding them. They have one of the hottest offenses in the Majors dating back to September 1st, and have two top tier pitchers they can rely on.

For the sake of the parlay, we'll take the +1.5 run line to be safe.

Zack Wheeler OVER 5.5 Strikeouts (+116)

As good as the Braves offense is, they struggle in the strikeout department. They rank 28th in Major League Baseball in strikeout percentage, striking out on 24.6% of their plate appearances.

Zack Wheeler flew by this total in all three starts against the Braves this season, averaging 11.3 strikeouts per nine innings. He totaled 25 strikeouts in 20 innings pitched. I love this prop, especially at plus-money.

Dodgers -1.5 (+115) vs. Padres

The San Diego Padres are done, my friends.

Including yesterday's game, the Dodgers are now 15-5 against San Diego in 2022, and Los Angeles remains the best run line team in the Majors. If you're going to bet on the Dodgers, you might as well take their run line.

Clayton Kershaw dominated the Padres in his two starts against them this season, allowing only one earned run in 12.0 innings pitched.

Freddie Freeman to Record a Hit (-210)

Freddie Freeman has been fantastic against Yu Darvish throughout his career. He has 25 plate appearances against him, and he holds a .318 batting average. Just as a cherry on top for this parlay, I'm going to back him to record a hit at -210.

Parlay Odds: +707
