Best MLB Parlay Picks Today

Nationals vs Reds Over 9.5 (-120)

Nationals' starter Josiah Gray is a pitcher I love to to target. He's got a lot of potential but struggles with command and limiting hard contact as he's yet to harness his ability.

The 24-year-old ranks in the second percentile in barrel percentage, 12th in expected ERA and 19th in walk rate. He compiled a 5.74 ERA in May and walked seven batters in his last two starts. Cincinnati averages the fifth-most walks per game at home and should put themselves in position to score all game. As a bonus, the Nationals are dreadful defensively.

Washington should find success as well against Mike Minor making his 2022 debut. Minor wasn't particularly good last year and had a 6.75 ERA in four minor league starts before getting called up today. The Nationals have the third-highest OPS on the road and I think their lineup breaks out today.

These teams have two of the five worst bullpens in MLB and with two pitchers who likely won't go deep in the game, each squad's relievers will play a big role. The over is 13-4 in the Reds' last 17 at home and 5-1 in Gray's last six starts, including hitting in three straight. Those trends continue to kick off our parlay.

Blue Jays Team Total Over 5.5 (+100) vs Twins

Chi Chi Gonzalez will make his 2022 debut for Minnesota today against the hottest offense in baseball. Unfortunately for the Twins, Gonzalez was perhaps the worst pitcher in the sport last year. Hold your nose and try not to laugh, but look at his 2021 MLB Statcast pitching profile:

I look at these pitching profiles all the time, and I think this is the worse one I've ever seen. Toronto has scored at least six runs in five straight games and in seven of their last eight. But this will be the easiest pitching matchup they've faced in quite a while.

With their bats finally waking up, the Blue Jays might double this number today.

Rays -1.5 (+105) vs White Sox

The White Sox have lost five of six and their struggles should continue in my favorite bet of the day. Rays' starter Shane McClanahan was 4-0 with a 1.15 ERA in May and has the second-best odds (+500) to win the Cy Young.

We saw an example above of what one of the worst possible pitching profiles looks like, so what about one of the best?

That's more like it! Tampa Bay has won six straight McClanahan starts and should keep rolling against White Sox starter Vince Velasquez, who posted a 6.00 ERA in May and ranks in the fifth percentile in expected ERA. Back the Rays to improve to 6-1 in their last seven as a home favorite.

Royals First Five Innings (+100) vs Astros

The Brady Singer renaissance is in full swing. Since being called back up from the minors to become a starter, Singer has a 1.37 ERA with 20 strikeouts to only three walks. His 2.71 FIP (Fielding Independent Pitching) would rank ninth in MLB among qualified pitchers and his 0.86 WHIP (walks and hits per innings pitched) would be third.

Over the last two weeks, Houston has the worst OPS in the league against right-handed pitchers and will send out their worst starter in Jose Urquidy today. In six road starts, Urquidy has a 7.09 ERA. Kansas City's bats are waking up a bit and they're 10th in OPS against righty's since the middle of May.

I don't trust the Royals' bullpen, so I'll stick to the first five to hone in on Singer's advantage over Urquidy.

Braves -1.5 (-115) vs Rockies

The Braves are 6-2 in Max Fried's last eight starts and should stay hot against Chad Kuhl and the Rockies today. Kuhl had a 5.18 ERA in May and gave up five runs in just three innings against the Giants in his last home start.

With the league's worst bullpen backing up Kuhl, Atlanta should score early and often. The Rockies' have allowed at least 12 runs in three straight home games and the Braves are scoring in bunches.

Atlanta is 8-3 in their last 11 as road favorites, with six of the wins coming by multiple runs. That continues today as Fried stifles Colorado and the Braves' lineup hammers Kuhl.
