Best MLB Parlay Picks Today (Guardians Headline Loaded Parlay)

I'm feeling adventurous on this lovely Sunday morning. It's a holiday weekend and there's a ton of value on this 15-game MLB slate.

After analyzing the matchups and betting previews from our team at BetSided, I'm confident today's parlay is a winner.

Let's not waste any time, shall we? Using the odds from WynnBET Sportsbook, here are my favorite MLB Parlay picks of the day:

Best MLB Parlay Picks Today

Red Sox First Five Innings (-180) vs Orioles

I like the Red Sox to win the game, but their bullpen does concern me so we'll go with the first five innings for the parlay. Orioles' starter Bruce Zimmerman is coming back to earth after an excellent start to the year. He's given up nine runs in his last two starts and ranks in the 14th percentile in expected ERA.

Boston starter Nick Pivetta, meanwhile, is enjoying a sublime May. He has a 2.23 ERA in five starts this month and has won three straight. With the Red Sox lineup being one of the hottest in the sport, I think they'll get out to an early lead today.

Rockies First Five Innings +0.5 (-130)

This is incredible value on Colorado. They've been slumping of late but get to take on one of the worst starts in baseball today in Josiah Gray. He's in the first percentile in barrel percentage and has a dreadful 10.77 ERA in his last three home starts.

Kyle Freeland, on the other hand, has a sensational 1.17 ERA on the road this season and takes on a Nationals lineup that ranks 24th in OPS against left-handed pitchers this month. Put simply, the Rockies should be favored here. They've got the worst bullpen in the National League so I don't trust them on a full-game bet, but Freeland should put them in position to win after the first five innings.

Guardians (-155) vs Tigers

Triston McKenzie is that dude. He's thrown four consecutive quality starts, compiling a 2.05 ERA this month. Cleveland has won five of his last seven starts as he's turning into one of the best pitchers in all of MLB.

The Guardians should have success against Tigers' starter Elvin Rodriguez, as well. He has a 9.39 ERA through two starts and is only pitching today because Detroit's entire rotation is dealing with injuries. Detroit has the second-worst OPS against right-handed pitchers in May, so even just a couple of runs from Cleveland will likely be enough.

With Rodriguez on the bump, the Guardians should muster more than a few, giving us plenty of cushion with this bet.

Yankees vs Rays Under 6.5 (+100)

This is the best pitching matchup of the day and I love the under. Shane McClanahan is rapidly becoming one of the premier pitchers in the sport. He's allowed just one run over his last 20 innings and has given up more than four hits only one time in nine starts. As a cherry on top, McClanahan has a truly obscene 74 strikeouts in 52.1 innings pitched.

Luis Severino is pretty good too, and he should keep the Rays' bats at bay. He's in the 83rd percentile in expected ERA and has a stellar 2.78 ERA in May. Severino is coming off seven shutout innings against the White Sox and should do enough to keep this game under thanks to McClanahan's dominance.

Pirates vs Padres Under 7.0 (+105)

Each of the first two games in this series went under and I expect the offensive ineptitude to continue today. Pirates' starter Roansy Contreras has been impressive, compiling a 2.13 ERA in four appearances. He threw five shutout innings against the Rockies in his first and only start of the year and should continue his strong play against a Padres lineup that ranks 28th in OPS against right-handed pitchers this month.

MacKenzie Gore shouldn't have trouble shutting the Pirates down either. He has a 2.06 ERA this season and has surrendered just three hits in each of his last two outings. The under has been a fantastic bet for both teams, going 15-6-1 in Padres' home games and 6-2-1 in the Pirates' last nine. It's 4-0-1 in San Diego's last five and those trends should continue in this one.
