The MLB season is officially underway and we have another great slate on Wednesday with a bunch of interesting matchups. And what better way to celebrate the new campaign than by going for a big payday? That’s right, we’re back with another mega parlay. We came super close to cashing Monday’s mega parlay at 14/1, but the Mets, unfortunately, decided to blow a 4-0 lead in the 8th inning. Then on Tuesday we once again came up just one run short as the Cardinals won but didn’t cover the -1.5. Now let’s finish the job on Wednesday!
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.
New York Mets -1.5 (+168)
San Francisco Giants -1.5 (+160)
Toronto Blue Jays ML (+130)
Parlay odds: +1502
Let’s break down each of the legs one by one.
New York Mets -1.5 (+168) over Philadelphia Phillies
To start this mega parlay off we’ve got the Mets on the run line. New York has started off 4-2, and in one of their only two losses they blew a 4-0 lead in the 8th inning. Most importantly, they’ll have Max Scherzer on the mound here. Scherzer was their marquee offseason acquisition, and he didn’t show any signs of slowing down during his first start of 2022. In his Mets debut, Scherzer gave up only three hits across six innings.
The Phillies have scored just six total runs across their last three games, and Bryce Harper is now just 2-for-18 on the year. Kyle Schwarber’s career in Philly hasn’t gotten off to the best start as he’s just 2-for-18 as well. Phillies starter Aaron Nola gave up four earned runs and two homers to a very weak A’s lineup in his first start of 2022.
San Francisco Giants -1.5 (+160) over San Diego Padres
Give me the Giants for the next leg of our mega parlay. Incredibly, we all managed to let ourselves get carried away with Padres hype two offseasons in a row. San Diego just got crushed 13-2 by the Giants on Tuesday, and San Francisco should be able to carry over some momentum from that one here with Logan Webb toeing the rubber. Webb was sensational in the playoffs last season, and it looks like he’s going to build on the promise he showed last year.
In his season debut last Friday, he tossed six innings of one-run ball. This Padres lineup isn’t anything to be afraid of, and they’re still without Fernando Tatis Jr. Sure, the Padres won three of four to start the year, but those three wins came against the lowly Diamondbacks. Sean Manaea is coming off a great start for San Diego, but now is the time to sell high. He was middling in each of the previous two seasons with Oakland.

Toronto Blue Jays ML (+130) over New York Yankees
To wrap this mega parlay up and hopefully bring us the home we’ve got the Blue Jays on the money line. Toronto just fell 4-0 to the Yankees on Tuesday, but they picked up a shutout victory of their own in the first game of this series on Monday. And in their opening series against Texas, they looked pretty good, scoring 20 runs across three games. Jose Berrios is coming off a terrible first start, but there’s no reason to panic.
Berrios was great for the Blue Jays after getting traded from Minnesota last year, putting up a 1.09 WHIP through 12 starts. On the flip side, it could be time to start panicking about Gerrit Cole. The Yankees’ high-priced ace was highly mediocre from June onward last season, and he struggled right out of the gates in 2022 with a tough start against the Red Sox.
