Detroit Tigers -1.5 over Baltimore Orioles (+164)
To start our MLB parlay, we’re taking the Tigers on the run line. The Tigers are playing at home (10-3 at Comerica Park so far this season) and Casey Mize (3-1, 2.22 ERA, 0.95 WHIP) is toeing the rubber. To say that those factors are good news for Detroit would be a gross understatement. Mize has allowed 1 run or fewer in 3 of his 4 outings, realizing the potential the Tigers saw when they made him the #1 overall pick in the 2018 MLB Draft. Meanwhile, Brandon Young is making his 2nd big-league appearance for the Orioles due to both injuries and general poor performances elsewhere in the pitching staff. The disappointing O’s are just 10-14 so far in 2025 and I expect their woes to continue this evening.

New York Mets -1.5 over Washington Nationals (-105)
Next in our MLB parlay, let’s side with the Mets covering against the Nats. The Mets are the best team in baseball at 18-7 and they have won 7 in a row heading into this 4-game set with the Nationals. Their streak should continue with Kodai Senga on the mound tonight. He is 3-1 with a 0.79 ERA. Washington (11-14) is actually playing decent baseball at the moment and Jake Irvin is 2-0 with a 3.68 ERA. However, Irvin’s 2 wins have come at the expense of the Pirates and Rockies. The Mets’ lineup – led by Francisco Lindor, Juan Soto and Pete Alonso – is an entirely different beast. Lindor especially is on fire, so Irvin may have a tough day at the office. Give me New York to prevail by multiple runs.

Toronto Blue Jays ML over New York Yankees (+114)
The Blue Jays have lost 5 in a row, but they can make up the entirety of their 3-game deficit in the AL East with a sweep of the Yankees this weekend. But it’s 1 game at a time, of course, so for now Toronto can only focus on Friday. It’s a matchup the visitors should be able to win. Carlos Carrasco is taking the mound for the home team and he has been terrible so far this season. The 38-year-old righty is saddled with a 6.53 ERA and 1.45 WHIP to go along with a 15-to-7 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 20.2 innings of work. The Jays are countering with Jose Berrios, who also has disappointing numbers but has actually been solid of late. In 4 April outings, Berrios is 1-0 with a 3.80 ERA and Toronto is 3-1 in those 4 games. The Blue Jays have good value as underdogs in this one.
