About Last Night
MLB mega parlay cashes at +893 odds
Boom! We cashed our MLB mega parlay for the second time in 3 days with our +893 odds Saturday mega parlay following hot on the heels of our +800 success on Thursday! Our expert Keith Schmelter also went 2-0 with his Best Bets article. It was an interesting day for Mets fans, as their team traded Max Scherzer to the Rangers and then lost 11-6 to the Nationals, and there were more high-scoring games elsewhere as the Royals beat the Twins 10-7, the Astros blasted the Rays 17-4, the Braves beat the Brewers 11-5 and the A’s saw off the Rockies 11-3.

Best Bet of the Day
MLB: Philadelphia Phillies ML over Pittsburgh Pirates
1:35 pm ET, MLB Network
The Phillies have a huge pitching advantage today as Cristopher Sanchez continues to impress in the starting rotation. After being called up for a spot start in June, Sanchez has forced his way into the rotation with a 2.98 ERA and 0.98 WHIP. The Phillies refuse to hit for him most days, and thus they have lost 5 of his 8 starts, but he has yet to give up more than 3 runs in any outing. The Pirates have lost 4 of Rich Hill’s last 5 starts, and he rarely gives up fewer than 3 runs, while the Phillies also hit lefties better than Pittsburgh. Check out our full Phillies vs Pirates predictions.
