14 Major League Baseball games on Saturday's slate. Here are the best parlay combinations with value odds across the board.
Saturday's Major League Baseball Parlay Picks - June 20
A massive 14-game Major League Baseball slate on Saturday gives us plenty of angles to work with. From afternoon matinees to late West Coast action, the market has served up some genuinely interesting prices. We've dug into the odds, identified where the books look beatable, and built three parlay combinations worth your attention. Let's get into it.
Key Market Observations
A few things jump out immediately when scanning today's board:
- Baltimore Orioles +1.5 (+105) at theScore Bet - Getting plus money on a run-line underdog with the spread at just 1.5 against a Dodgers team that has been inconsistent at home? That's a number worth circling. The Orioles have enough lineup depth to keep this close, and +220 on the moneyline at BetMGM represents outstanding underdog value if you want to ride Baltimore straight up.
- New York Mets +1.5 (-143) vs Philadelphia Phillies - The Mets are a live dog here. Their moneyline at +158 (Caesars) is generous given the talent on their roster, and the run-line cushion makes the +1.5 a solid foundation leg.
- Pittsburgh Pirates -1.5 (-130) at Colorado Rockies - The Rockies are the worst team in baseball and Coors Field can flatter both offenses. Pittsburgh laying just 1.5 at -130 on the Fanatics spread is one of the cleaner favorites on the board today.
- Boston Red Sox +1.5 (-196) at Seattle Mariners - Seattle's run line price is steep at +180, but Boston covering the spread at -196 is expensive. The moneyline at +110 (theScore Bet) is more palatable for a team that can scratch runs against a Mariners rotation that leans heavily on weak contact suppression.
Parlay 1 - The Value Accumulator (+311 combined)
This three-legger targets plus-money spreads and a value underdog to build real returns on a moderate stake.
- New York Yankees -1.5 (+112) - FanDuel - The Yankees host the Cincinnati Reds in a matchup that strongly favors New York. A Reds team that has struggled on the road and faces a Yankees lineup loaded with middle-of-the-order power at Yankee Stadium is a tough ask. The +112 on New York's run line is exceptional value for what should be a comfortable home win.
- Pittsburgh Pirates -1.5 (-130) - Fanatics - Colorado is the easiest fade in baseball. The Rockies have shown very little resistance at home this season against competitive clubs, and Pittsburgh's pitching should be good enough to win by multiple runs. Laying 1.5 at -130 is a fair price.
- Baltimore Orioles +1.5 (+105) - theScore Bet - Getting plus money on a run-line underdog in a game where the Dodgers are -250 on the moneyline? The market is essentially saying Baltimore loses but keeps it within a run a significant portion of the time. At +105, that's a value leg that rounds out this parlay nicely.
Combined odds: approximately +311 - A $100 bet returns $411.
Parlay 2 - The Low Total Special (+285 combined)
Two under bets from games featuring pitching-first environments, paired with a clean spread play.
- Boston Red Sox vs Seattle Mariners - Under 7.5 (-118) - FanDuel - The Mariners pitch to contact and suppress run scoring better than almost any rotation in the American League. A 7.5 total in Seattle skews under heavily. FanDuel's -118 is the sharpest available price on this side.
- San Diego Padres vs Texas Rangers - Under 7.5 (+100) - Bally Bet - A 7.5 total at even money is exceptional. Texas can grind out low-scoring affairs at home, and San Diego's offense, while talented, hasn't been lighting up scoreboards on the road. Getting plus money on an under is a gift - take it.
- New York Mets +1.5 (-143) - FanDuel - Philadelphia is a strong club but -179 on the moneyline suggests the market is overweighting the home advantage. The Mets' lineup has the firepower to hang with Philly, and the run-line cushion at -143 is worth the price as a parlay anchor.
Combined odds: approximately +285 - A $100 bet returns $385.
Parlay 3 - The Underdog Special (+420 combined)
Higher risk, higher reward. Two legitimate underdog moneylines that offer real upset potential.
- Washington Nationals ML (+105) - theScore Bet - The Nationals are listed as slight road underdogs against the Tampa Bay Rays, which is a fascinating line given where both teams sit in their respective divisions. At +105 you're essentially getting even money on a coin-flip game - take the plus money every time it's offered in a near-pick'em.
- Baltimore Orioles ML (+220) - BetMGM - Yes, the Dodgers are a powerhouse. But +220 represents massive implied value if there's any realistic path to a Baltimore win. Upsets happen in baseball more than any other sport, and this Orioles lineup has enough bats to touch Dodger Stadium pitchers. As a parlay leg, this transforms the overall return.
- Milwaukee Brewers +1.5 (-196) - Caesars - Atlanta has a strong roster but the Brewers are a resilient club that rarely gets blown out. The -196 is steep for a run line, but as a parlay leg it adds a safer anchor to balance the two upset moneylines above.
Combined odds: approximately +420 - A $100 bet returns $520.
Best Standalone Value Bets
Not every strong number needs to be parlayed. These two standalone plays are worth noting:
- San Diego Padres ML (+115) at Hard Rock Bet - Texas at home is a reasonable favorite, but +115 on a Padres team with legitimate starting pitching is a live play in a low total (7.5) game where one big inning wins it.
- Minnesota Twins ML (+115) at Caesars - Facing the Arizona Diamondbacks on the road, the Twins at plus money in what looks like a near pick'em is worth a flier, especially with the spread sitting at just 1.5.
