About Last Night
MLB mega parlay cashes at +1085 odds
It was a wonderful Wednesday for the Pickswise MLB team, with the headline news being our mega parlay cashing at +1085 odds! That wasn’t all, though, as our standard Wednesday parlay was also a winner at +454 odds. Even if you did not tail the parlays, we hope you had some of the individual wins as the MLB team went 11-4 overall on money line and run line picks too!
The Yankees went 3-0 down to the A’s in the first but came back to win 5-3, the Pirates ended a 5-game losing run with an 8-7 win over the Nationals and the Red Sox beat the Blue Jays 6-5 in the 10th.

Best Bet of the Day
MLB: Milwaukee Brewers ML over Pittsburgh Pirates
7:05 pm ET
After defeating the Rays in their quick 2-game series, the Brewers have now won their last 4 games. After taking down tough AL East teams in Tampa and Toronto, Pittsburgh should not cause the Brewers much trouble. It may seem like an advantage for the Pirates that the Brewers have to travel up to Pittsburgh, but they’ll be doing the same after their series was in Washington. Milwaukee’s Adrian Houser is capable of keeping the Pirates lineup in check. If Pittsburgh couldn’t handle Patrick Corbin and the Nationals, there is no reason to expect them to perform better against a hot Brewers team. Check out our full preview for Brewers vs Pirates.
