Best MLB Parlay Picks May 7

Sonny Gray is on the bump for the Cardinals. St. Louis hasn’t been overly trustworthy, but Gray makes them a viable betting option on Tuesday.

Pirates vs. Cardinals (1:15 PM, EST)

Cardinals Moneyline (-175) at FanDuel Sportsbook

Cardinals fans will be happy on Wednesday knowing their ace, Sonny Gray, is taking the mound against an NL Central opponent. The Pirates will start Mitch Keller, who has struggled in 2025. 

Gray will enter with a 3-1 record and 39 strikeouts. The ERA could certainly be better, but the Cardinals are confident in their ability to steal a game every time Gray pitches. 

This season, Keller is 1-3 with a 4.38 ERA, and he will face a significant challenge in this matchup. St. Louis is hitting .260 as a club in 2025, the third-best in baseball. 

I think St. Louis' offense will explode in this game, giving Gray plenty of run support. The Cardinals have a five-game lead over Pittsburgh in the division, which will increase after this game. 

Look for the Cardinal bats to stay hot as they cruise to a win on Wednesday.

Padres vs. Yankees (7:05 PM, EST)

Yankees Moneyline (-180) at FanDuel Sportsbook

San Diego takes on New York in what could be the best game of the slate. The Padres trail Los Angeles in the NL West, while New York leads the AL East

Dylan Cease will face Max Fried, the best pitcher in baseball right now. Fried is still undefeated and has an ERA of 1.01. 

The Padres haven’t faced a pitcher like Fried all season, and I think they will struggle tremendously. Fried has fanned 39 batters in 44.2 innings.

Both teams are seeing the ball well at the plate in 2025. They’re each in the top five in batting average, with New York hitting .260. 

The Yankees have the advantage on the mound for this game, and that will be the difference maker. I trust Fried to shut down the Padres' offense and for the Yankees to score plenty of runs on Cease.

White Sox vs. Royals (7:40 PM, EST)

Royals Moneyline (-225) at FanDuel Sportsbook

Kansas City is playing their best baseball, making them a viable betting option on Wednesday. 

Jonathan Cannon gets the start for Chicago, who is 2-3 with a 4.26 ERA in 2025. He has been going deep into games, but I don’t think that will happen in this matchup. 

Kansas City will start Michael Wacha, who hasn’t been great this season, but I still trust him against the White Sox. Chicago is hitting .215 as a team in 2025, the third-worst in baseball. 

The Royals are now 20-16 after starting the season on a sour note, and they should stay hot against Chicago. Expect Kansas City’s offense to deliver, resulting in a victory.
