MLB Parlay Picks Today: Phillies vs. Marlins  (7:10 PM, EST)

Phillies Moneyline (-245) at bet365

The Phillies take on the Marlins in Miami on Friday. Philadelphia is 83-56 in first place in the NL East. The Marlins come into this game at 52-87 and are in last place in this division. 

Zack Wheeler gets the ball for Philadelphia and he is 13-6 with an ERA of 2.63. He has fanned 183 batters in 167.2 innings and has a 0.98 WHIP. Wheeler has the second shortest odds to win the NL Cy Young award at +1000 on FanDuel sportsbook. 

The Marlins are going with Edward Cabrera, who is 3-6 with a 5.33 ERA. He has struck out 84 batters in 76 innings while maintaining a WHIP of 1.47. In Cabrera’s last three starts, he allowed 16 runs in 16.2 innings. 

Cabrera will be tested again on Friday as he has yet to show us he can shut down this Phillies offense. We expect Wheeler to cruise in this game and lead Philadelphia to a victory.

MLB Parlay Picks Today: Twins vs. Royals (8:10 PM, EST)

Royals Moneyline (-144) at bet365

The next game we are focusing on features a key AL Central matchup. Minnesota is 76-64, trailing Cleveland by four games in this division. Kansas City is right behind them at 76-65. This division will come down to the last week of the season to see who takes it home. 

The Twins are starting Zebby Matthews, who is 1-2 with a 7.41 ERA. In 17 innings, he struck out 18 with a 1.47 WHIP. 

Cole Ragans takes the mound for the Royals, who is 10-9 with a 3.46 ERA. He has struck out 197 batters in 161.1 innings. Ragans has some of the best strikeout stuff in baseball, so we are backing the Royals in this spot. 

Matthews needs to gain experience, while Ragans has the potential to be one of the best arms in the league. Look for Ragans to carry this Kansas City team to victory in this matchup and gain some ground in the standings.

MLB Parlay Picks Today: Tigers vs. Athletics (9:40 PM, EST)

Tigers Moneyline (-168) at bet365

We are taking the Tigers' moneyline with Tarik Skubal on the mound to close out our parlay. Detroit comes into this matchup at 70-70 in fourth place in the AL Central. Oakland is 61-80 in fourth place in the AL West

Skubal is one of the best pitchers in baseball, as he is 16-4 with a 2.51 ERA. The left-handed pitcher has fanned 201 batters in 168.1 innings and has a WHIP of 0.93. Skubal has been dominating hitters all season long, and we do not expect him to slow down against Oakland. 

Mitch Spence gets the start for the Athletics, who is 7-9 with a 4.50 ERA. He has 105 strikeouts in 126 innings. He has allowed seven earned runs in 17.1 innings in his last three starts. 

This matchup might not be the most intriguing game on Friday, but expect a ton of strikeouts. Skubal and Spence both provide great strikeout ability, but we trust Skubal more in this spot. 

Expect the Tigers to rally behind Skubal and come out on top to cash our parlay.
