The MLB season is officially in full swing and we have another great slate on Sunday with a bunch of interesting matchups. And what better way to celebrate the start of a new month than by going for a big payday? That’s right, we’re back with another mega parlay.

We’re going big and bold again, so let’s not waste any more time. But before we dive in, don’t forget to check out our free picks on the side and total for every MLB game today.

San Francisco Giants -1.5 (+122)

Cleveland Guardians ML (-126)

Detroit Tigers ML (+220)

Parlay odds: +1174

Let’s break down each of the legs one by one.

San Francisco Giants -1.5 (+122) over Washington Nationals

To start this mega parlay off we’ve got the Giants on the run line. Pretty much everybody thought San Francisco’s sudden success last year might’ve been a fluke, myself included. Clearly that put a chip on their shoulder, and they’ve been proving everybody wrong once again. The Giants have started 14-7, and they certainly have the kind of offensive upside we’re looking for when backing a team on the run line.

Look no further than their 9-3 win over the Nats on Saturday. Each of San Francisco’s last 10 wins have come by multiple runs, so I’m not too concerned about laying the -1.5. These teams just played a series in Washington about a week ago and the Giants swept it, winning all three games by a combined score of 24-6. The Nationals have lost nine of their past 10 and it’s quickly becoming clear they aren’t going to do much in 2022.

Cleveland Guardians ML (-126) over Oakland Athletics

The Guardians appear to be a very streaky team, and it looks like they might be picking up steam for another hot stretch so we’ve got them on the money line for our next parlay leg. First Cleveland won four in a row, then they lost three in a row before winning three in a row again. Then came a seven-game losing skid, which they snapped with back to back victories in the first two games of this series.

While the Guardians are starting promising youngster Triston McKenzie who has shown flashes of dominance, the A’s will be trotting out James Kaprielian for his first appearance of the season. He was middling last year with a 4.07 ERA and 1.22 WHIP, and should be at least a little bit rusty here after all the time off. And either way, he’s got one of the worst lineups in the majors supporting him, as the A’s have been held to two or fewer runs in six of their past seven contests.

Detroit Tigers ML (+220) over Los Angeles Dodgers

To wrap this mega parlay up and hopefully bring us home we’ve got the Tigers on the money line. Getting better than 2/1 with Detroit is just too good to pass up. The Tigers just beat the Dodgers 5-1 on Saturday, so this isn’t anything too crazy. Detroit has been a bit of a disappointment so far, but their two big offseason acquisitions still appear to be quite promising. Javy Baez had a couple of big hits on Saturday, and Austin Meadows had three more for himself.

If those guys are hitting like that, the Tigers are going to be just fine. Los Angeles had only four hits on Saturday, and a lot of their key guys have been underperforming. Max Muncy is hitting .136, Justin Turner is at .197, Cody Bellinger is at .205 and even Mookie Betts is struggling while hitting just .230. They certainly haven’t looked like the offensive juggernaut that many were expecting entering the season.
