Every day at BetSided, one of our editors is looking to put together an MLB parlay to bet for that day's action. While parlays aren't going to make you a profitable sports bettor, they can be really fun to root for throughout a day full of baseball.

Here are three picks that I’m looking to parlay, with all odds via WynnBET Sportsbook: 

Best MLB Parlay Picks Today (+310 Odds)

  • Milwaukee Brewers Moneyline (-168)
  • New York Mets Moneyline (+104)
  • Seattle Mariners Alternate Line +2.5 (-310)

Milwaukee Brewers Moneyline (-168)

The Milwaukee Brewers are sending their ace, Corbin Burnes, to the mound against John Means and the Baltimore Orioles. 

Baltimore took the opening game of this series 2-0, but the Brewers bounced back with a 5-4 victory on Tuesday. Milwaukee is off to a slow start this season, but with Burnes on the mound, I think this is a perfect spot to stick with the Brewers. 

Nobody in baseball strikes out more than the Orioles, and Burnes led MLB in strikeouts per nine innings last season. As long as he’s able to stay in this game long enough for the Brewers to go to vaunted bullpen arms like Devin Williams and Josh Hader, I think Milwaukee pulls this one off. 

While the Brewers’ offense is a concern, after Means there is a very questionable bullpen waiting for Baltimore. 

New York Mets Moneyline (+104)

I love the New York Mets as underdogs against the Philadelphia Phillies, as Max Scherzer is making his second start of the season for New York. 

Phillies starter Aaron Nola was roughed up for four runs by the Oakland A’s in his first start of the season, and the Mets offense certainly has more proven hitters than Oakland despite a slow start to the season. I think Scherzer, who threw six innings in his debut, is the pitcher to trust here, so I’ll take a shot on the Mets. 

Seattle Mariners Alternate Line +2.5 (-310)

This is by far the safest pick for today’s parlay, but I like it since the Seattle Mariners could win their game against the Chicago White Sox outright. 

BetSided’s Joe Summers explained why the Mariners have the edge with Robbie Ray on the mound compared to Dallas Keuchel for Chicago in his game preview, and I agree. 

The reason I’d rather back the run line is because Seattle is averaging just 2.4 runs per game in the early going, so even if Ray pitches well, I’m not completely sold on this offense giving him enough support.
