Thursdays are for football right now. It’s fine. We knew these days were coming and we were ready for it. Because we’re champions of the sports betting game. But, we can still throw around some baseball parlays even when our brains can only focus on football and our fantasy teams. One strategy that has worked since the beginning of time is stringing together a few day games. They’re over before the football game starts and you get to sweat out an MLB parlay. It’s a true win/win situation.
If this MLB parlay hits, we will never forget this day. But remember, we also have picks on the side and total for all of today’s games. Parlays are only part of our arsenal. You can also follow me on Twitter just in case there’s a game or two added to the card. Be smart about this people.
St. Louis Cardinals -1.5 (+186) *alt line
Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 (-156)
San Francisco Giants ML (-106)
Parlay odds: +803
St. Louis Cardinals -1.5 (+186) *alt line
It’s Adam Wainwright day and that means the Cardinals are winning today. Over Wainwright’s last 12 starts, the Cardinals have won 11 of them, including the last 6. That’s crazy. Instead of simply taking the Cardinals to win, I decided to bump it up a notch to -1.5 at pretty fat price of +186. Eight of the last 10 Cardinals’ wins in Wainwright starts have been by at least 2 runs, so why not. One of those wins was a 15-4 beatdown of this same Milwaukee Brewers team. This game should start the MLB parlay off in style.

Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 (-156)
You will notice that this parlay is stocked full of winners and we have another one in Max Scherzer. We have to pay a hefty price for this one but whatever. Sometimes you have to pay for nice stuff. Porsches aren’t cheap right? Scherzer has pitched only 9 games for the Dodgers and they have won all 9. That seems good. Seven of those wins have been by at least 2 runs. He’s gone at least 7 innings in each of his last 3 starts and when he’s done he’s giving the ball to one of the best bullpens in MLB. This one should be easy and if it is, our MLB parlay will stay intact.

San Francisco Giants ML (-106)
From one winner to the next. This one is actually pretty crazy. Did you know that in Logan Webb’s last 17 starts, the Giants have won 16 of them? That’s just stupid. On top of that, we get to back him at -106. What is happening right now? Sure they’re playing the Padres, but they are packing it in. San Diego was supposed to be good this season and they aren’t even going to qualify for the playoffs. They’ve now lost their last 5 games in a row and after today, it will be 6 straight losses. If I’m right, we will win our MLB parlay.
