It’s probably a good thing for my MLB parlays that the 2024 season is nearing an end. Last week’s picks failed miserably with the three-teamer missing all wagers. We can look at the positive, though, and say we have only a few more chances to cash a winning ticket. And well, since there are 15 games on the schedule for Saturday, September 18, playing a parlay is the only thing to do. There... 

With just a few weeks remaining in the 2024 MLB regular season there are some key matchups on the schedule for Saturday, September 14 to help clarify playoff positioning. Two of those games take place in the NL between division leaders and wild card contenders. The New York Mets won’t catch the Phillies in the NL East but they can track down the top wild card spot. No-hit through eight inn... 

As the clock ticks down on the 2024 MLB regular season several teams remain in contention for a playoff spot and winning games now takes on added importance. Entering the week the New York Mets are the hottest team in baseball. They won nine straight games before the streak was halted on Sunday in a 3-1 loss to Cincinnati. They caught Atlanta for the third wild card in the NL while closing the gap on the Padres and Dbacks. The Mets are one of the top investments on the road this season and they ... 

With a little over three weeks remaining in the 2024 MLB regular season time is quickly expiring on our opportunities to win MLB parlays. Not that long ago we had a number of teams contending for a wild card spot in each league, but we’ve seen some separation with just a few teams clinging to postseason aspirations. Two of the hottest teams in baseball entering the weekend have narrowed th... 

As we enter the first full week of the final month of the MLB regular season plenty still needs to be decided. All three division races in the AL are tight with the Central holding a huge series between first-place Cleveland and second-place Kansas City. The Royals have been good at home and could tighten things with a win on Wednesday, September 4. Just last week the Royals won three of f... 

Major League Baseball says adios to August with a number of compelling matchups on the schedule for Saturday, August 31. The number of chances to win a MLB parlay becomes shorter by the day as the league readies to enter the final month of the season. And with several teams still in the playoff race the action on the diamond is heated. Two critical division series take place in the NL with... 

With around five weeks left in the regular season games now take on more meaning for teams in the playoff hunt, and there are plenty of them still in contention. That sets the stage for some good ball games to build a winning MLB parlay. One of the biggest games takes place in Cleveland where the first place Guardians host Kansas City in an AL Central confrontation. The Royals are still ha... 

The stretch drive for MLB postseason position is underway, and the race looks like it will come down to the wire. In the National League, the division races are heating up, with the Atlanta Braves mounting a charge against the Philadelphia Phillies in the East and the Los Angeles Dodgers trying to fight off the San Diego Padres and Arizona Diamondbacks in the West. Meanwhile, the Milwaukee... 

The stretch drive towards the MLB postseason is underway, with plenty of teams in the race. The Minnesota Twins have gotten the cash in seven of their last ten games to close within two games of the Cleveland Guardians in the AL Central. One of the most reliable parlay legs on the board has been the Houston Astros, with nine payouts in their last ten games. In the NL Central, the Milwaukee... 

Things are heating up in the dog days of summer with division and playoff races tightening. There’s still a month and half left in the 2024 MLB season, but games won and lost now will have a direct effect on which teams qualify for the postseason. A number of games between playoff hopefuls dot the schedule for Saturday, August 17 which makes building a winning MLB parlay a worthwhile endea... 

A number of games featuring teams in playoff contention dot the MLB schedule for Wednesday, August 14. That isn’t saying much since plenty of teams are still within striking distance. Entering the week eight teams are 10 or more games behind in the wild card standings making it unlikely for them to qualify for the postseason. Those could be teams worth targeting when it comes time to build a winning MLB parlay. Or you could play the hot hand. San Diego and Arizona have been the best teams in MLB since the All-Star break with the Dbacks hosting Colorado and San Diego entertaining Pittsburgh. ... 

As the season moves along the games become more important with so many teams in both leagues still in playoff contention. And there are some good matchups on the MLB slate for Saturday, August 10 to use in building a winning MLB parlay. The Phillies have stumbled since the All-Star break losing 11 of their first 14 games to relinquish their spot on top of MLB’s overall standings. They’re o... 

With plenty of teams still in contention for a playoff berth there are a number of games on the MLB slate for Wednesday, August 7 that can affect the standings. Since the All-Star break San Diego has been on fire winning 11 of 14 games completing a 2-game sweep of the Dodgers last week to close within 4.5 games of first in the NL West. They’ve been a great MLB parlay pick over the last two... 

A flurry of trades at the deadline changed the outlook for a number of teams and in turn how we wager MLB parlays. Those new acquisitions should all be settled into their new digs for the slate of games on Saturday, August 3, making things more interesting for final two months. It will take time to determine winners and losers from the deadline deals, but the New York Yankees experienced i... 

The last day in July signals the beginning of the dog days of the 2024 MLB season. However, with the expanded playoff format a number of teams are still in contention. And July 31 is the first day after the trade deadline with teams looking to bolster their rosters for a playoff push. One team in need of a jolt is the New York Yankees, who have stumbled over the last six weeks with one of the worst records in baseball. Their once strong pitching got shredded for 29 runs during a three-game stret... 

The final Saturday in July brings something we haven’t seen in MLB in decades; a traditional doubleheader. That’s right, buy one ticket to the Colorado Rockies at San Francisco Giants and see two games. Oh, there’ve been plenty of doubleheaders over the years but few scheduled and most of the day-night variety. That is one of the five divisional matchups on tap for July 27 with the Yankees... 

Several rivalry matchups highlight the MLB slate on Wednesday, July 24. No, I’m not talking about the Orioles at Marlins game, though that might be one to consider for a winning MLB parlay. The betting day concludes in Los Angeles with a NL West matchup between the Giants and Dodgers. Earlier in the day the Subway Series moves to the Bronx with the Yankees looking to avenge a sweep they en... 

After an additional day off following the All-Star break the Milwaukee Brewers and Minnesota Twins join the rest of the league on the diamond giving Saturday, July 19 a full slate of action and a number of chances to build a winning MLB parlay. Those clubs hook up in the Twin Cities for the first of a brief two-game interleague set. That’s also one of three crossover series with the most i... 

All but two teams are in action on Friday, July 19 as the MLB season resumes following a break for the All-Star Game. While the time off surely benefitted players that didn’t make the festivities in Texas, hopefully it helped me out after slumping on my MLB parlays. I did hit three of five individual bets last week, but unfortunately one loss was on my three-team card and the other was par... 

There are some good divisional matchups and several interleague tilts on the MLB slate for Saturday, July 13 that you can use to build a winning MLB parlay. In the final weekend before the All-Star Game hopefully your betting team doesn’t pack it in early for the break. The top two teams in the AL East tangle when the Orioles host the New York Yankees in a FS1 telecast. The struggling Yank... 

I had some good news on last week’s MLB parlays and will look to continue with more positives heading into the final Wednesday of games before the All-Star break. My same game parlay hit thanks to the Orioles and Seattle’s anemic offense. Those darn White Sox got me again spoiling my chance at a three-team winner by beating Cleveland. MLB’s worst road team beat the AL Central leaders handi... 

One of the best rivalries in MLB and in all of sports resumes with NL East rivals Boston and New York squaring in the Bronx to get the Saturday, July 6 betting day started. It’s been a difficult few weeks for the Yankees who started their recent skid by losing the final two of a three-game set to the Red Sox. The Yankees lost 12 of 16 games since losing their spot as division leader to Bal... 

Several teams will try and work their way out of a slump as part of MLB’s 15-game schedule for Wednesday, July 3. As part of my MLB parlay last week I backed the New York Yankees in their Subway Series matchup with the Mets. While the Yanks hit a bump in the road the Mets were on a roll and the outcome was not in my favor. It helps reading the tea leaves when trying to build a winning MLB ... 

I’m going to breathe a little easier this week after breaking out my MLB parlay slump with a same game winner last week. The schedule on the final Saturday of June has some good divisional matchups that can be used to build a winning MLB parlay. Six of the 15 games on the slate will be between division foes with five of them featuring the first place club. One of the best rivalries in base... 

Baseball traditionalists probably wouldn’t like the MLB schedule for Wednesday, June 26 with seven of the 15 matchups of the interleague variety. The crossover games are here to stay, though, and some are more intriguing than others. One matchup that always gets attention is the Subway Series in New York between the Yankees and Mets. Both teams could absolutely suck and it would still be better than a Twins-Diamondbacks tilt. With the Yankees struggling, it might be a good time to back the Mets,...
