Off to the best start in franchise history, the Philadelphia Phillies keep winning games and increasing their lead in the NL East. Going just 8-8 through the first two weeks of the 2024 MLB season, the Phils won 28 of their next 34 games after beating the Rangers 11-4 on Wednesday. It may seem like a mismatch with Philly visiting the NL worst Colorado Rockies with Aaron Nola scheduled to start Saturday’s game, one of 15 on the slate for May 25. I mentioned last week that it would be a good idea to include the Phillies on a MLB parlay and the strategy paid off with a same game parlay winner. The Phils beat Washington 4-3 playing below the total of 7.5. And it’s a good thing I backed them since my three-teamer didn’t as well.

Colorado enjoyed a spirited run but their 7-game winning streak came to an end with a sweep in San Francisco. The Rox were outscored 28-10 in the series and never had a chance in their 14-4 loss on Saturday. I backed the Cubs on the run line in their matchup with Pittsburgh, and while they won the game, 1-0, they didn’t cover the 1.5-run spread. I’ll count my other pick as a win with the Padres getting by Atlanta. Saturday’s game was postponed to Monday as the first of a doubleheader that San Diego won 6-5. It didn’t really matter, though, since I’d already lost.
The A’s surprised a lot of folks by playing competitive baseball over the first month of the season. They’ve since gone in the tank and have a matchup with a team they have all kinds of trouble beating. Oakland snapped an 8-game losing streak beating Colorado on Tuesday and they had dropped 12 of 14 prior to that. Included in that skid was a four-game sweep by the Astros, who outscored the A’s 22-4. The planets are getting back in alignment giving me confidence to back Houston straight up.
Stay with the hot hand when betting MLB and that’s what I’m doing by backing Philadelphia against the spread. The results are typically good when you have the highest scoring offense and third-best staff ERA. The Phils were a .500 team when they hosted Colorado in mid-April starting their recent surge by sweeping a three-game set. They scored 14 runs in the series and got a brilliant start form Saturday’s expected starter Aaron Nola, who allowed just four hits and a run in 7.1 innings.
Cleveland is the most profitable team in MLB following a sweep of the Mets that gave them nine wins in their last 10 games. I’ll back them against the Halos with Tanner Bibee looking to make amends for his worst start of the season when he allowed six runs in loss to the Angels. That’s the only game the team has lost in Bibee’s 10 starts.

I’ll attempt to keep my same game parlay heater going backing the Orioles in their road tilt with the White Sox. Baltimore is too good to endure a long slump and I expect they’ll bust loose after getting swept three games in St. Louis giving them four losses in five games. The O’s have also been good against the AL Central winning seven of the first nine matchups against the division. And the Sox have faltered after brief spell that saw them win six of eight games despite scoring the fewest runs in the majors.
