MLB mega parlay odds: +814

Rangers vs Rays over 8 (-105)

This Game features a strong pitching matchup between a couple of starters that have good numbers, but have not been stellar lately. Nathan Eovaldi will start for Texas and Zach Eflin will start for Tampa. In his last 3 starts, Eovaldi has allowed 15 earned runs across 13.1 innings pitched. Eflin has not been too bad, but has not logged more than 5 innings in 4 out of his last 5 starts. Considering the clinch and elimination scenario, these teams will come out with an aggressive approach to produce early and often.

The starting pitching was a primary reason for yesterday’s under between the Rangers and Rays. But it could be the primary reason for an over today. The over has been prominent with these teams all year anyway despite strong pitching. The over has hit in 9 out of the Rays’ last 11 games and in 5 out of their last 6 at home. The combined over under record of these teams this year is now 174-141-11. Look for game 2 to bring a lot of run production.

Minnesota Twins vs Toronto Blue Jays under 7.5 (-105)

Tuesday’s Game 1 between the Blue Jays and Twins had a great starting pitching matchup that helped deliver a low total. Game 2 sets up for more of the same with Jose Berrios getting the start for the Blue Jays and Sonny Gray getting the start for the Twins. Berrios got knocked around in his last couple starts. But has a very ceiling and has been lights out for stretches of the season including last month. Minnesota’s lineup is a combined 5/41 against Berrios and didn’t exactly light up the scoreboard on Tuesday as much as they were picked up by pitching.

The narrative is similar on the opposite side of the diamond. Sonny Gray had a fantastic 2023 and faces a lineup that has not had much success against him. Toronto’s lineup is a combined 15/74 against Gray who ended the regular season with a 2.79 ERA across 184 innings pitched in 32 starts. The under hit comfortably on Tuesday. With even less margin for error and a solid pitching matchup in Game 2, the under is a good play once again.

Phillies -1.5 (+140)

The Phillies picked up right where they left off from last year’s Pennant win. Zack Wheeler was on cruise control, Philadelphia never trailed, and Craig Kimbrel locked down the Game as Craig Kimbrel does. It is difficult to see the Marlins bounce back. The Phillies were the better team anyway but did not play with any complacency, they have a true home-field advantage, and the moment was not too big for them. Philadelphia just looks uNFLappable right now.

With Tuesday’s win, the Phillies have now won 9 out of their last 12 games and 7 out of their last 8 at home. In 2022, they found a way to peak at the right time and it took them to the World Series. With more experience under their belts, it looks like they are rinsing and repeating in 2023. Aaron Nola gets the ball in a clinching game on Wednesday and is in solid form lately. He gives his team a great chance to clinch and advance to the NLDS.
