Four-pick cross-sport parlay for today 8/29 (+873 odds): MLB and US Open tennis

Rebecca Marino and Magdalena Frech have gone in totally different directions this season. Marino boasts a 38-18 match record in 2022, while Frech comes in at 23-25. A total of 27 Marino victories have come on hard courts, too. Frech is just 4-6 in her last 10 matches and she has not defeated anyone ranked better than No. 67 since Wimbledon. For that reason, backing Marino will be the play on Monday afternoon.

With Clayton Kershaw on the injured list, Tony Gonsolin is the impromptu ace. His 16-1 record is just like his team’s record — the best in baseball. He has allowed just 2 total runs this month, and there’s no reason that should change today. On top of that, he will be facing the worst offense since the all-star break with the Marlins. They recently went on a 23-game stretch without scoring more than 4 runs, which was included when these teams met last weekend. Because Gonsolin has been so dominant this season and the Marlins have not been producing runs, backing the Dodgers on the run line will be the play tonight.

The Minnesota Twins won’t get to feature their studs like Joe Ryan or Sonny Gray tonight, but they will have an established starter on the mound with Dylan Bundy. Despite going down to the AL-best Astros in his most recent start, he has still had a strong month. He hasn’t allowed more than 2 runs in any of his 4 starts.

Boston on the other hand, will start rookie Brayan Bello due to the fact that Nathan Eovaldi is on the injured list. The Red Sox have lost all 6 appearances he has made in his short career, so for that reason, backing the Twins will be the play.

Carlos Rodon will start for the San Francisco Giants tonight and he is pitching well at the moment. He has allowed only 5 earned runs over his previous 31.1 innings and faces a team he’s had tremendous success against. Mike Clevinger will start for the San Diego Padres and enters the game with a favorable matchup and sees a Giants lineup that’s been able to scrape across only 9 runs in their previous 5 games.

Rodon’s dominance against the Padres paired with the current offense slump of the Giants should lead to a low-scoring game in San Francisco. For that reason, backing the under looks to be worth a play.
