After an additional day off following the All-Star break the Milwaukee Brewers and Minnesota Twins join the rest of the league on the diamond giving Saturday, July 19 a full slate of action and a number of chances to build a winning MLB parlay. Those clubs hook up in the Twin Cities for the first of a brief two-game interleague set. That’s also one of three crossover series with the most interesting being a rematch of the 2018 World Series between Boston and the LA Dodgers. The break came at a good time for the Dodgers, who lost six of seven games prior. Meanwhile, the Sox played themselves into contention in the AL East winning 10 of 13 games to close within 4.5 games of first-place Baltimore. First place in the AL West is on the line when Houston visits Seattle. The Astros closed the first half winning 17 of 21 games.

Last week’s three-team MLB parlay was a disaster losing all three of my wagers. I guess if you’re going to lose a parlay that’s the way to do it; no drama or suspense. However, I did make up for it by winning my same game parlay, so it wasn’t all that bad. Here’s hoping for better results on my three-teamers in the second half.
When the number of divisional games was reduced a few years ago we saw longer gaps between series. Well, that aint the case in the AL West tilt between the Angels and Oakland. The clubs met in the Bay Area just a few weeks ago with the A’s sweeping three games and shutting out the Halos in each of the last two. It doesn’t matter how good or bad the A’s are the Angels just have a hard time winning in Oakland. The A’s are pretty bad this year, but so are their rivals to the south. At home and coming off a series win over league-leading Philadelphia gives me confidence to back Oakland.
The Reds and Nationals are below .500 but they both have a winning record on the runline. Since I can’t pick one I’ll instead bet the UNDER since they’ve struggled to score consistently. Cincy maintains one of the worst team batting averages in MLB not much worse than Washington’s. If good pitching stops good hitting then bad pitching stops bad hitting, making the UNDER a play.
Lastly we have the top two NL wild cards squads dueling in Atlanta. The Braves entered the break on a little spurt that saw them win six of nine games scoring at least five runs in every victory. The Cards dropped four of six allowing an average of 5.7 runs. I can’t in good conscience back St. Louis so I’ll back the Braves on the runline.
MLB Same Game Parlay
Dodgers ML
Red Sox / Dodgers UNDER
$100 to win $225
Any success I’ve had has been on the same game parlay. The Phils came through for me last week covering the spread and cashing the OVER in their win over Oakland. I needed that W and will look to continue the roll in the Red Sox/Dodgers matchup. Sure the Dodgers are struggling and they have a boat load of injuries, but in the past we’ve seem breakout from minor skids in a big way. The offense is still there and we should see them energized after Shohei Ohtani and Teoscar Hernandez had big showings during the All-Star break.
