Best MLB Parlay Picks April 17

Bryan Woo will take the ball for the Mariners on Wednesday, and I expect a low-scoring affair. I’m targeting a NRFI here and two moneyline picks for the parlay.

Giants vs. Phillies (4:05 PM, EST)

Over 7.5 (-125) at Caesars Sportsbook

The Giants and Phillies have combined for double-digit runs in every game throughout the series. San Francisco’s bats have been the primary factor for the high-scoring games, and it has caused all three contests to sail over their respective totals. 

Both pitchers have shown weaknesses this season on the bump. The more inferior of the two pitchers in this game is Jordan Hicks, who has a 5.87 ERA and a 1.37 WHIP this season. 

He got rocked by the Yankees and didn't pitch well against the Mariners in his past two starts, surrendering a combined 10 earned runs. Cristopher Sanchez for the Phillies has been great in two of his past three starts, but he has to face a hot Giants offense. 

San Francisco is fifth in runs scored and sixth in home runs. They have won with the long ball, and Sanchez is susceptible. If these pitchers find a groove, this is not a 10-run game, but it could easily be 5-4 because of how these two teams can hit.

Mariners vs. Reds (12:40 PM, EST)

No Runs First Inning (-115) at Caesars Sportsbook

The Mariners and Reds have the perfect NRFI combination between Brady Singer and Bryan Woo on the mound. Woo is 2-1, allowing a run in the first, and Singer has yet to allow a first-inning run this season. 

Both pitchers have been dominant in the early stages of the year. Woo is 2-0 with a 2.84 ERA and a 0.95 WHIP in 19 innings, and Singer is 3-0 with a 3.18 ERA and a 1.06 WHIP. Each pitcher has solid strikeout ability, which is needed for NRFIs in case they get into trouble.

While the Mariners came out hot last night, and runs were scored in game one, both offenses have been relatively tame this season. Seattle and Cincinnati are both tied for 28th in batting average.

Pirates vs. Nationals (12:35 PM, EST)

Pirates Moneyline (-130) at Caesars Sportsbook

Andrew Heaney has been impressive in his first 18 innings this season. He doesn't have a win to his name, but he has a 3 ERA and a 0.89 WHIP. 

Heaney has allowed just 12 hits in 18 innings with 18 strikeouts and just one home run in this span. Trevor Williams has no quality starts in his first three games. 

Williams is coming off giving up six earned runs in his past 4.2 innings. He has a 7.36 ERA and a 1.77 WHIP on the season. 

From a starting pitching perspective, Heaney should dominate Williams. Washington has an average offense, while the Pirates have one of the worst in baseball thus far, but the starting pitching and bullpen swing things in favor of the Pirates.
