Today's 15-game MLB slate is bursting with value, and it's a perfect time for a lovely parlay.

No one ever wants the weekend to fade into Monday. However, it's a lot easier to stomach with a fresh wad of cash, so why not go ahead fill those pockets with something other than lint?

We've got you covered for each game on the slate over at BetSided, though I've got a few special wagers highlighted that stand above the rest.

Using the odds from WynnBET Sportsbook, here are my favorite MLB parlay picks of the day:

Best MLB Parlay Picks Today

Marlins (-101) vs Mets

I'm in agreement with Matt De Saro here. Look, it's Sandy Alcantara day. How could we not back the Marlins?

Alcantara has easily been the National League's best pitcher, throwing a quality start in 10 of his last 11 outings. The workhorse mentality he's brought to the mound every outing is admirable, but also incredibly intimidating for opposing lineups.

While Taijuan Walker has been good too, he's in just the 19th percentile in hard hit percentage and 39th in expected batting average. He's beatable, and the streaking Marlins are 7-3 in their last 10.

I'll back Alcantara as an underdog against any team in MLB. Let's kick this parlay off with a bang.

Dodgers (-250) vs Cubs / Under 8.5 (-115)

The Dodgers have become one of the most consistent under bets in MLB thanks to a dominant pitching staff. With Julio Urías on the mound today, I expect more of the same.

Urías has allowed three or fewer runs in six consecutive starts while ranking in the 96th percentile in hard hit percentage. Los Angeles has four straight wins behind him while the under is 10-2-3 in his last 15 starts.

The under is a great bet when Drew Smyly pitches too, going 9-2 in his last 11 outings. It's 6-1-1 in Chicago's last eight and 11-2-3 in the Dodgers' previous 16.

All signs point to a low-scoring game that Los Angeles wins. They excel at pulling off close victories. Against a Cubs squad that's 4-11 in its last 15 as road underdogs, the Dodgers should notch another victory today thanks to Urias' consistent excellence.

Padres (-115) vs Giants

Against every opponent besides the Colorado Rockies, MacKenzie Gore has been dominant this season. He's got a 1.39 ERA in those contests and the Padres have five straight wins behind him without the Rockies' debacles.

The Giants are 1-6 in their last seven as road underdogs as they've struggled mightily both offensively and defensively. I think Gore should be a bigger favorite over Alex Wood today, who has a 5.14 ERA on the road.

San Diego shellacked Wood for eight hits and five runs in three innings back in May, while Gore limited San Francisco to one run over three hits. I'll back the better pitcher, lineup, defense, and bullpen in the Padres.

Mariners (-121) vs Blue Jays

To wrap up today's parlay, I'm rocking with Logan Gilbert and the scorching-hot Seattle Mariners. Seattle is 7-1 in Gilbert's last eight starts and 10-1 in its last 11 games overall.

Gilbert's a pretty darn good defender too, and when you're making plays like that you're tough to beat. The Blue Jays are in a miserable slump, losing eight of nine, and will rely on a bullpen day in this one.

Toronto has one of MLB's worst bullpens though. At the least, Gilbert and the Mariners should be a bigger favorite. I'm backing Seattle as the Blue Jays' cold streak continues.
