MLB Parlay Picks Today: Athletics vs. Phillies (6:40 PM, EST)

Phillies Moneyline (-290) at FanDuel

Oakland travels to Philadelphia to take on one of the best teams in baseball. The Athletics are 35-60 in last place in the AL West. 

The Phillies are 61-32 with a nine-game lead in the NL East. Philadelphia is +470 to win the World Series on FanDuel sportsbook. 

Oakland is starting Hogan Harris who is 1-3 with a 3.22 ERA. He has struck out 35 batters in 44.2 innings and has a 1.34 WHIP. Harris has allowed 20 hits in his last three starts and has walked six. 

Ranger Suarez toes the rubber for Philadelphia who is 10-3 with a 2.58 ERA. He has 106 strikeouts in 108 innings and is looking to get back on track after allowing five runs on six hits against Atlanta in his last start. 

The Phillies are hitting .260 as a team, the third-best in 2024. They have all the talent to win the World Series this year starting with the dominant pitching staff they have built. 

We expect the Phillies’ offense to score many runs off Hogan and to get to the Athletics' bullpen early in the game.

MLB Parlay Picks Today: Nationals vs. Brewers (8:10 PM, EST)

Brewers Moneyline (-210) at FanDuel

The Nationals travel to Milwaukee to take on the first-place Brewers. Washington is 42-52 in fourth place in the NL East. Milwaukee has been outstanding in 2024, leading the NL Central by five games. 

Jackson Rutledge takes the mound for the Nationals who has a 9.00 ERA and has pitched one inning in 2024. In this inning, he allowed one run on two hits against the White Sox. 

The Brewers are going with Freddy Peralta who is 6-4 with a 3.95 ERA. He has struck out 124 batters in 98 innings, the tenth most in 2024. Peralta has allowed six runs in his last 16 innings and has fanned 18 batters. 

We expect the Brewers to jump out to an early lead against Rutledge who has little experience in the majors. 

Look for the Milwaukee offense to stay hot at the plate as they are hitting .255 in 2024 which is the fourth-best.

MLB Parlay Picks Today: Cubs vs. Cardinals (8:15 PM, EST)

Cardinals Moneyline (-198) at FanDuel

To close out our parlay we’re taking Sonny Gray and the Cardinals over their division rival. The Cubs are 45-49 in fourth place in the NL Central. St. Louis is 48-44 trailing Milwaukee by five games in the division. 

Chicago is going with Kyle Hendricks who has had a very rough season. He is 1-7 with a 7.53 ERA and a WHIP of 1.58. He has struck out 47 batters in 63.1 innings and has allowed 11 earned runs in his last 12.2 innings. 

The Cardinals have been one of the best teams in the National League over the last month and are coming off two losses against the Royals. 

St. Louis has their ace on the mound in this matchup, and we expect Gray to get the Cardinals back on track. 

Look for the St. Louis offense to dominate Kyle Hendricks in this matchup to cash our parlay.
