Every team in Major League Baseball is in action on Tuesday, but there are two games that I have my eye on to parlay for a bigger payout.

Every day at BetSided, one of our editors will 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.

I'm backing my New York Yankees once again, plus there is a strong trend to follow in the Boston Red Sox-Los Angeles Angels game as well. Let's get into the picks , with odds via WynnBET:

Best MLB Parlay Picks Today (+303 Odds)

  • Boston Red Sox-Los Angeles Angels UNDER 8.5 (-120)
  • New York Yankees Moneyline (+120)

Boston Red Sox-Los Angeles Angels UNDER 8.5 (-120)

The Red Sox really struggled in the month of April, especially on offense, where manager Alex Cora said they had a “horrible” month. 

Boston will send a surprisingly reliable Michael Wacha (2-0, 1.77 ERA) to the mound against the Angels’ Noah Syndergaard (2-0, 2.12 ERA). 

So, how should we bet on this matchup? I think there is some value in taking the UNDER in this game, even though the Angels are second in MLB in OPS this season. 

Boston ranks just 24th in that category, and both of these pitchers have been hot to start the season which could leave us with a little wiggle room before the bullpens enter on Tuesday night. 

Despite its offensive prowess, Los Angeles is just 10-13 on OVERs so far in 2022, and the Red Sox are one of the worst OVER teams in baseball, going just 7-16 this season. 

UNDERs hit at nearly a 60 percent clip through the first month of the season, so I am going to ride the trend and expect a rather low-scoring affair at Fenway Park tonight. 

New York Yankees Moneyline (+120)

You can’t expect me to fade the hottest team in baseball, even if they are facing the Toronto Blue Jays’ Alek Manoah (4-0, 1.44 ERA).

The Yankees are throwing Jameson Taillon (1-1, 3.26 ERA) on Tuesday, but the team’s bullpen has been electric all season, so I don’t see the lesser starter being too much of a worry in this one. New York was able to capitalize on the Jays’ bullpen in Monday’s win, and that could be the case once again tonight. 

Over this 10-game winning streak, the Yankees have moved themselves into the No. 2 spot in the league in team ERA, first in home runs hit and third in OPS. That’s absolutely dominant. 

I will continue to back the Yanks until they lose.
