Best MLB Parlay Picks Today (Mariners, Two Favorites Make for Interesting Pairing)
By Peter Dewey
Baseball is back and there are so many games to bet on Monday night.
Any interest in parlaying some picks together and potentially bringing back a nice return?
If so, I have a three-leg moneyline parlay that I love for the action tonight, with all odds via WynnBET Sportsbook:
Best MLB Parlay Picks Today (+336 Odds)
- Tampa Bay Rays Moneyline (-240)
- Atlanta Braves Moneyline (-240)
- Seattle Mariners Moneyline (+117)
Tampa Bay Rays Moneyline vs. Oakland Athletics (-240)
I don’t love laying the -240 price in just a single bet, but this is a valuable leg of a parlay as the Tampa Bay Rays are one of the league’s best teams and they are facing a Oakland team that is very clearly tanking after trading away Matt Olson, Matt Chapman and Sean Manaea.
The Rays’ staff allowed just four runs to the lowly Baltimore Orioles in their first series, and now they get a chance to beat up on another bad team in Oakland.
The A’s starter, Paul Blackburn, had a 5.74 ERA and allowed eight homers in nine starts last season. This is an easy spot to back Tampa Bay.
Atlanta Braves Moneyline vs. Washington Nationals (-240)
The defending champion Atlanta Braves will take on the Washington Nationals and starter Josh Rogers, who was called up to replace the injured Anibal Sanchez.
The Nationals have recalled Josh Rogers from AAA and put Aníbal Sánchez on the 10-day IL with a cervical nerve impingement (neck). Rogers has yet to pitch in the minors and will face the Braves here in Atlanta on Monday night.

Rogers appeared in six games for the Nats last season and allowed seven homers in those games. He was also tagged for two homers in 7.1 innings in Spring Training this year. Atlanta split its opening series with the Reds, but this feels a get-right spot for one of the better teams in baseball against another struggling pitcher.
Seattle Mariners Moneyline (+117)
The Seattle Mariners are going to need to find their offense to upset the Minnesota Twins on Monday, but they have one of the better arms on the mound to help keep this game close.
Chris Flexen had a career year in 2021, and the Mariners went an astounding 22-9 in his starts last season.
Twins starter Dylan Bundy was dreadful for the Los Angeles Angels in 2021, and while Baseball Savant points out that 10.3 percent of the batted balls against him were barreled (A batted ball with the perfect combination of exit velocity and launch angle).
That’s a good sign for a Mariners offense that has scored just 10 runs in three games this season. I like Seattle as an underdog.
