The 2021 MLB season kicked off almost three months ago, and the action has been jam-packed. Why not celebrate the start of a new week and go for a big payday on Tuesday? That’s right; we’re back with another MLB mega parlay, this time a three-teamer with a payout north of 11/1, and we’re counting on the Blue Jays to win big.
We cashed our mega parlay last Monday at +1148 odds; we also just cashed our MLB same game parlay at +1025 on Sunday night.
We’re going big and bold, so let’s not waste any more time. We’re diving in, but don’t forget to check out our picks for the side and total on every MLB game, with our team of experts in red-hot form.
Los Angeles Angels -1.5 (+220)
Toronto Blue Jays -1.5 (-110)
Boston Red Sox -1.5 (+100)
Parlay odds: +1116
Let’s break down each of the three legs one by one.
Los Angeles Angels -1.5 (+220)
There’s never been a better time to fade the Yankees. New York simply isn’t as good as people thought they would be, and they enter this one with a four-game losing streak. They haven’t scored more than three runs in any of those four games. That’s bad news for the Yanks, since they’ll probably need more than that with Jameson Taillon on the mound.
Taillon has mostly been a disaster in 2021, entering with a 5.18 ERA. Unsurprisingly, the Yankees have lost four of his last five starts. It’s not like Angels starter Andrew Heaney has been great, but he has a 3.75 ERA in four June starts and is solid enough. Los Angeles’ offense has played really well this month, even without Mike Trout. Getting better than 2/1 here is too good to pass up.

Toronto Blue Jays -1.5 (-110)
The Blue Jays have the kind of offense that makes you always want to back them on the run line. Toronto has won seven of their past eight, with some true beatdowns mixed in there. They just took three of four games from the Orioles over the weekend, with the three wins coming by a combined score of 26-6. The Blue Jays will have Robbie Ray here, who is in the midst of a resurgent season.
In five June starts, he has an ERA of 2.51 while striking out 43 batters in only 28 and 2/3 innings. The Mariners have been better than expected recently, but they’re still 27th in the league in OPS while the Blue Jays are second. Seattle simply doesn’t have the offense to keep up.

Boston Red Sox -1.5 (+100)
To wrap this mega parlay up and hopefully bring us home, we’ve got the Red Sox. Boston just swept the Yankees, then won the opener of this series to make it four in a row. The Red Sox’s offense has been one of the league’s most pleasant surprises, as they rank third in OPS. Kansas City starter Brad Keller has been one of the worst starters in the majors, so Boston should score plenty here.
Keller has a 6.39 ERA and 1.80 WHIP through 16 starts. He’s given up at least four earned runs in four straight starts. The Royals lost each of those four games, with each of those defeats coming by at least five runs. On the other hand, Red Sox starter Nick Pivetta is coming off an outing where he gave up no hits and only a couple of walks in 6 and 2/3 innings. They should roll here.
