MLB Parlay Picks Today: Rockies vs. Reds (1:10 PM, EST)

Reds Moneyline (-210) at FanDuel

Cincinnati hosts Colorado in a matchup featuring Hunter Greene. The Rockies are 32-60 in last place in the NL West. The Reds come in at 44-48, trailing the Brewers by nine games in the NL Central.

The Rockies are going with Austin Gomber, who is 2-5 with a 4.47 ERA. He has struck out 62 batters in 94.2 innings. In Gomber’s last three starts, he has gone 18.1 innings, allowing ten runs on 23 hits.

Hunter Greene toes the rubber for the Reds, who is 5-4 with a 3.45 ERA. He has struck out 116 batters in 104.1 innings, the eleventh most in 2024. 

The Red’s offense is scoring 4.35 runs per game, the 16th best in the league. 

At a crucial time for Cincinnati to get back in the NL Central race, this is a perfect spot to back them against Gomber.

MLB Parlay Picks Today: Pirates vs. Brewers (2:10 PM, EST)

Pirates Moneyline (-132) at FanDuel

Paul Skenes takes the mound for the Pirates against Aaron Civale and the Brewers. Pittsburgh is 44-47 in third place in the NL Central. Milwaukee is 53-39 and has led this division the whole year. 

Skenes comes into this matchup at 5-0 with a 2.12 ERA. He is becoming one of the best pitchers in the league, as he just received his first All-Star Game invite. Skenes has 78 strikeouts in 59.1 innings and has a 1.01 WHIP. 

Milwaukee is going with Aaron Civale, who is 2-6 with a 5.18 ERA. In his last start, he pitched five innings, allowing four runs on five hits against the Dodgers.

This is an essential series for the Pirates to return to the division race. We expect Skenes to dominate this matchup like he has been doing all year and for the Pirates to knock Civale out of the game early.

MLB Parlay Picks Today: Athletics vs. Red Sox (7:10 PM, EST)

Red Sox Moneyline (-245) at FanDuel

We’re taking the Red Sox moneyline against the Athletics to close out our parlay. Oakland is 34-59 in last place in the AL West. Boston is 50-40, trailing Baltimore by 6.5 games in the AL East. 

The Athletics are starting Luis Medina, who is 2-3 with a 4.37 ERA. He has struck out 25 batters in 35 innings and has a 1.54 WHIP. He has given up eight free passes in his last three starts. 

Tanner Houck takes the mound for the Red Sox, who is having an All-Star year. He has a 2.68 ERA and has fanned 106 batters in 111 innings, tied for 24th in the league. 

Houck has the sixth-best odds of winning the AL Cy Young Award at +2900 on the FanDuel sportsbook. 

We expect Boston’s offense to jump to an early lead against Medina and the Athletics. Look for Rafael Devers to stay hot at the plate as he leads the team in average, home runs, and RBIs.
