MONDAY'S PARLAY
LEG 1: Diamondbacks and Guardians Both Teams to Score 1+ Runs in the First 5 Innings
Our first leg of the Parlay: Both Teams to Score 1+ Runs in the First 5 Innings of the Diamondbacks vs Guardians Game! We dominated this market last week. Look to do more of that today. You can find it on BetMGM (under the Innings Tab) and DraftKings (under the 'First X+ Innings' Tab).
Arizona faces off against the lefty Logan Allen today. This is Allen’s first start in a month so there may be issues for him getting back into form. Allen has allowed a run in the First 5 Innings in eight straight starts. Cleveland faces Zac Gallen and this is his first road start in a couple weeks. On the road, Gallen has a 4.00 ERA this season. Over the last 14 days, the Diamondbacks are 4th best in batting average with runners in scoring position and the Guardians are 9th. We need timely hits and both offenses will show up early for us today.
LEG 2: Red Sox and Royals Both Teams to Score 1+ Runs in the First 5 Innings
Our second leg of the Parlay: Both Teams to Score 1+ Runs in the First 5 Innings of the Red Sox vs. Royals Game! This is a series that will likely be a staple in this parlay if it can cash for us today. I really like these two offenses.
The Red Sox will face Brady Singer. While Singer has been great at home, he's still struggled vs. Left Handed Batters, allowing a .284 BA and .850 OPS. The Red Sox have crushed RHP, and will likely stack seven lefties in there. They rocked Singer for 4 ER in early July (in 2.2 IP). I think they can at least get us one. As for the Royals, they will face James Paxton. KC averages the third-most runs per game at home. Paxton has allowed 2+ ER in five straight starts. He's just not good. I am confident we get at least one here from the Royals. Love this spot.
