The MLB schedule for September 21 is loaded with some great MLB matchups, as there are less than three weeks left. Most of the playoff field is set, but there are still some spots that need to be filled.
Putting together an MLB parlay with two teams is a great way to approach betting on baseball. With that in mind, here are the two teams to include when making an MLB parlay for September 21.
San Francisco Giants vs. Colorado Rockies
NL West Division
The San Francisco Giants and Colorado Rockies continue a series in the NL West Division on Wednesday night. San Francisco has come into Colorado and won the first two games to bring some momentum into this one.
San Francisco ruined plenty of MLB betting picks early on in the year as they were a disappointment compared to expectations.
Teams’ Previous Records
The Giants are just 71-77 on the year, and they will miss the playoffs after winning the NL West a season ago.
Colorado has fallen to 64-84 on the year with the two straight losses in this series, but they are 40-36 at home. The Rockies were not expected to be a playoff contender this season, and that has played out in 2022.
The MLB odds for this game have the Giants as the moneyline betting favorites at -135 over the Colorado Rockies.
San Francisco Giants
The San Francisco Giants have a team ERA of 3.88 this season, and great starting pitching has allowed them to get hot over the last few weeks.
San Francisco continues to look for more offense, but that pitching staff can take over in this one. Logan Webb will make the start, and he is 13-9 with a 3.02 ERA on the year.
Webb will have to keep the ball in the park, but he has proven to be dominant throughout the season.
Colorado Rockies
The MLB team stats for the Colorado Rockies are impressive at home, especially when it comes to offense. Colorado is hitting .257 on the season as a team, but they have hit just 135 total home runs.
C.J. Cron leads the way for the Rockies with 29 home runs and 101 RBIs. Colorado has still scored ten total runs in this series despite losing two games.
German Marquez starts for Colorado on Wednesday, and he is just 8-11 with a whopping 5.14 ERA on the year.
MLB Pick: Giants (-135)
Seattle Mariners vs. Oakland Athletics
AL West Division Rivals
AL West Division rivals will continue a series on Wednesday night when the Oakland Athletics host the Seattle Mariners. Oakland was a surprising winner in the series opener, coming away with a 4-1 win.
Seattle is in a good spot when it comes to the AL Playoffs, but they want to improve their positioning in the Wild Card race. The Mariners are 81-66 on the year, and they have been one of the most surprising teams in baseball.
Oakland comes into this game with a record of 54-94, even with the win on Tuesday night. The Athletics have been in rebuild mode all season long, and they just don’t have a ton of talent on that roster.
The MLB odds for this game have the Seattle Mariners as the moneyline betting favorites at -220.
Seattle Mariners
The Mariners have struggled to score runs over the last five games, but they are capable of breaking out at any time.
Rookie Julio Rodriguez has blossomed into a star for the Mariners as he is hitting .277 to go along with plenty of power.
Robbie Ray will be on the mound on Wednesday night, and he has gone 12-10 with a 3.72 ERA this season.
Ray should have another great start in this one, and the Mariners’ offense is going to bounce back in a big way.
Oakland Athletics
Oakland doesn’t have a lot going for them this season, and they have really struggled to get out. James Kaprielian will make the start on Wednesday night, and he is just 3-9 with a 4.70 ERA on the year.
Not only have the Athletics struggled to get outs, but they have also not been a good offensive team in 2022. Oakland is hitting just .216 as a team so far in 2022, and they also have a lack of power.
MLB Pick: Mariners -1.5 (-120)
MLB Parlay Pick
Even though home-field advantage does come into play when it comes to baseball, you can find some great bets when backing road teams.
Taking the Giants to win in Colorado and the Mariners to win by at least two runs in Oakland is the best way to go on Wednesday night.
MLB Parlay Pick: Two-Legged Parlay (+219)
