I had some good news on last week’s MLB parlays and will look to continue with more positives heading into the final Wednesday of games before the All-Star break. My same game parlay hit thanks to the Orioles and Seattle’s anemic offense. Those darn White Sox got me again spoiling my chance at a three-team winner by beating Cleveland. MLB’s worst road team beat the AL Central leaders handi... 

One of the best rivalries in MLB and in all of sports resumes with NL East rivals Boston and New York squaring in the Bronx to get the Saturday, July 6 betting day started. It’s been a difficult few weeks for the Yankees who started their recent skid by losing the final two of a three-game set to the Red Sox. The Yankees lost 12 of 16 games since losing their spot as division leader to Bal... 

Several teams will try and work their way out of a slump as part of MLB’s 15-game schedule for Wednesday, July 3. As part of my MLB parlay last week I backed the New York Yankees in their Subway Series matchup with the Mets. While the Yanks hit a bump in the road the Mets were on a roll and the outcome was not in my favor. It helps reading the tea leaves when trying to build a winning MLB ... 

I’m going to breathe a little easier this week after breaking out my MLB parlay slump with a same game winner last week. The schedule on the final Saturday of June has some good divisional matchups that can be used to build a winning MLB parlay. Six of the 15 games on the slate will be between division foes with five of them featuring the first place club. One of the best rivalries in base... 

Baseball traditionalists probably wouldn’t like the MLB schedule for Wednesday, June 26 with seven of the 15 matchups of the interleague variety. The crossover games are here to stay, though, and some are more intriguing than others. One matchup that always gets attention is the Subway Series in New York between the Yankees and Mets. Both teams could absolutely suck and it would still be better than a Twins-Diamondbacks tilt. With the Yankees struggling, it might be a good time to back the Mets,... 

With the first day of summer in the books we can let the dog days begin. The increased number of playoff teams means fewer clubs will be experiencing those long summer nights, though, and we’re just approaching the halfway point so it’s still a little early. A number of quality matchups highlight the schedule for Saturday, June 22 and I better start cashing in on my MLB parlays or some fol... 

Not that I have anything in common with MLB’s best hitters and pitchers since I never played organized baseball following my little league days. But those players go through slumps every so often so I guess I can compare my recent MLB parlay wagers to those stretches of poor play. I had another dud last week but will continue to push forward with a strong slate of games on the menu for Wed... 

I talked myself into backing the New York Yankees as part of my MLB parlay last week and the move failed with the Yankees losing big to the Dodgers. For the second weekend in a row the Bombers take on a bitter rival with AL East foe Boston playing host on Saturday, June 15. The rivalry with LA dates back to the days of the Brooklyn Dodgers while the Red Sox are a division foe that the Yankees have had numerous battles with over the years. There may be some distance between them in the standings but that doesn’t diminish the intense dislike the teams have for each other. The schedule also has two interleague games that are past World Series matchups. The Angels visit San Francisco in a rematch of the 2002 World Series while the Philadelphia at Baltimore game conjures up memories of the 1983 Fall Classic. ... 

I had another bad week on my MLB parlays though I did hit on three of five individual wagers. Unfortunately it doesn’t work that way and I have to regroup for the 15-game slate on Wednesday, June 12. It’s hard not to include the Philadelphia Phillies on any MLB parlay since they boast the best record in the NL and are among the most profitable teams in baseball. The Phils’ bulge over secon... 

A matchup between MLB futures odds favorites the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees is one of 15 games on the slate for Saturday, June 8 that you can use to build a winning MLB parlay. There is no shortage of other quality games, including six divisional confrontations. With the Yankees riding a 7-game winning streak and the Philadelphia Phillies winning three in a row, the clubs reached the middle of the week tied with the best record in MLB. The Phils visit NL East rival New York Mets for an afternoon tilt to get the betting day started. It’s a long season and we’re only 40 percent done but it’s time for me to get back to hitting my MLB parlays. I enjoyed some success on the same game parlays, though even that eluded me last week. So it’s back to the drawing board for the second Saturday in June. ... 

A matchup of division leaders, a showdown between the top clubs in the AL Central and the battle for Chicago are just a few games in which to build a winning MLB parlay on Wednesday, June 5. The Philadelphia Phillies have the best record in baseball and host the NL Central leading Milwaukee Brewers, who have the biggest lead of any division leader. Milwaukee owned Chicago taking three of f... 

If you’re a fan of interleague play the MLB schedule for Saturday, June 1 has a number of options for building a winning MLB parlay. Seven of the 15 games on the slate feature teams from the opposite league going head-to-head. The Philadelphia Phillies hit a snag losing three in a row before ending a 2-4 road trip with a 6-1 win over the Giants on Wednesday. The Phils still boast the best ... 

A rematch of last season’s Fall Classic highlights the 15-game MLB slate on Wednesday, May 29, with a number of other quality matchups available to build a winning MLB parlay. The Arizona Diamondbacks and Texas Rangers enter the week both below .500 having failed to build on their run to the World Series, which the Rangers won in five games. The Rangers halted a six-game slide beating Minnesota 6-2 on Sunday. Owners of the best record in the majors, the Philadelphia Phillies conclude a six-game road trip with an afternoon tilt against the San Francisco Giants. The Phils swept a four-game set when the clubs met in Philly earlier this month. Cleveland won its eighth straight game knocking off the Angels on Saturday and the team formerly known as the Indians is the most profitable in MLB up over $1500 for the season. ... 

Off to the best start in franchise history, the Philadelphia Phillies keep winning games and increasing their lead in the NL East. Going just 8-8 through the first two weeks of the 2024 MLB season, the Phils won 28 of their next 34 games after beating the Rangers 11-4 on Wednesday. It may seem like a mismatch with Philly visiting the NL worst Colorado Rockies with Aaron Nola scheduled to start Saturday’s game, one of 15 on the slate for May 25. I mentioned last week that it would be a good idea ... 

Betting on MLB can be challenging given the number of games played and how players perform. It’s hard to be at your best over a 162-game season that lasts six months. And just like the performers on the field, those who wager on the games will experience the ebbs and flows. The Philadelphia Phillies have been a hot topic for a few weeks and deservedly so. A loss to Pittsburgh on April 14 l... 

Winners in nine of their last 11 games following Wednesday’s 4-0 shutout of the Twins, the New York Yankees moved to the top of the ultra competitive AL East and they are the most profitable MLB club up $1022. The Bombers open the 15-game schedule on Saturday, May 18 with a home matinee against the surging Chicago White Sox, who head to the Big Apple after consecutive shutout wins over Washington, with first pitch slated for 1:05 p.m. ET. With wins in 70 percent of their games the Philadelphia P... 

If you thought betting against teams like the Chicago White Sox and Colorado Rockies on a MLB parlay was a good strategy you’d be losing money. It was profitable up until a few weeks ago but those squads have starting winning games making me a loser on a few of my tickets. The Sox had won four in a row and six of eight before dropping the series finale to Cleveland on Sunday. They have 12 ... 

If you play MLB parlays every week you’re going to hit a few snags. The best hitters in the game fail 70 percent of the time and the top hurlers get lit up. I guess that’s my way of justifying what happened last week when every wager on my three-teamer lost. It comes with the territory so you take it and move on, which is what’s happening. There are several divisional matchups on the MLB s... 

Entering last weekend, the Chicago White Sox were the worst team in MLB with only six wins. Half of that win total came just over a week ago when the Sox swept a three-game series from Tampa Bay. The clubs wrap up their season series in the finale of a three-game set in one of 15 games on the slate for Wednesday, May 8. I lost a MLB parlay betting against the Sox last week, but overall tha... 

There are some enticing matchups on tap in Major League Baseball over the weekend giving bettors something to look forward to. Perhaps the biggest takes place out west when the MLB futures odds favorites Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers clash. When you win 20 of your fist 33 games and the season hasn’t met expectations, you know the bar is high. And that’s been the case in LA for sev... 

Playing MLB parlays is a lot more fun when you win. As we enter the second month of the 2024 season every team is on the diamond when the calendar flips to Wednesday, May 1. We’ve gotten what we expected from some teams. The Atlanta Braves own MLB’s best record at the start of the week with the Dodgers leading the NL West, though they haven’t been as dominant as most anticipated. And there... 

If you’re a fan of interleague play in MLB, the schedule for Saturday, April 27 has everything you want. Seven of 15 games cross leagues with the most intriguing matchup between the Cleveland Guardians and Atlanta Braves. The team formerly known as the Indians is off to a hot start leading the AL at 17-6 following Tuesday’s win over Boston. The Braves have been on the warpath as well winni... 

All 30 teams are in action on Wednesday, April 24 giving bettors every option to build a winning MLB parlay. If you had the Cleveland Guardians as the team with the most wins at the start of the new betting week, congratulations. Maybe you should play more MLB parlays. The team formerly known as the Indians finished off a three-game sweep of Oakland on Sunday scoring 22 runs in the series ... 

As is typically the case on a Saturday during baseball season every MLB team will be on the field on April 20 giving bettors a chance to pick and choose options for a MLB parlay. There have been some standout teams with the Atlanta Braves owning the best record through the middle of the week. To no one’s surprise the AL East has been the best division in baseball with every team reaching double figure victories and sporting a winning record. The New York Yankees lead the group and have a division showdown with Tampa Bay at 1:05 p.m. ET to get the MLB betting day started. The Bombers are also the most profitable team up $674 through Wednesday’s comeback win over Toronto. ... 

A few weeks into the 2024 MLB season and we’re starting to get a clearer picture of what’s ahead. Now, that’s a relative term since were only less than 10 percent into the campaign and teams like the Houston Astros, Philadelphia Phillies and Arizona Diamondbacks will most likely be over .500 rather than at or below that level, like they are entering the week. And it turns out all three of those clubs are hosting games on Wednesday, April 17 and could be used to build a winning MLB parlay. I have yet to replicate my winning three-team and same game parlay from opening day and I came close on my Sunday picks. However, as you know by now one losing pick on a parlay makes them all losers. With that said I’ll forge ahead into a new week with another opportunity to collect a winning ticket. ...
