The calendar has now flipped to August, and the betting is going to start to get easier and more enjoyable as time goes on. We are getting close to the start of football season, but you don’t have to wait for that sport in order to make some money. Major League Baseball and the WNBA are both currently in action, and this is the time of year in which each league is really heating up. Putting together a multisports parlay is a great way to increase your win possibility, and using those two sports will give you plenty of options.
Here are three games that you will want to include in your multisports parlay in order to get the month of August started off strong.
Baltimore Orioles vs. Toronto Blue Jays (-120)
The first game to include in your multisports parlay is a matchup of AL East rivals that are set to continue a series in Toronto. The Baltimore Orioles will be looking for a second straight win over the Blue Jays, but the home team is a favorite in this game.
Looking at the starting pitching matchup is extremely important when putting together betting guides for MLB games, and that’s where you will see the Blue Jays as favorites in this one. Kyle Bradish has been good for the Orioles and will start in this game, but Toronto will have Hyun Jin Ryu on the mound in this one.

Hyun Jin Ryu is making his return to the mound from MLB injury report, but he has been one of the best pitchers in baseball when healthy. His presence should give the Blue Jays a boost in this game, and that offense will be looking to respond in a big way.
Baltimore got four runs in the series opener, but they have also shown the ability to struggle against some of the more dominant pitchers in baseball. Looking at the home team is always important when making a bet on sports, and a desperate Toronto Blue Jays team will get the job done in this game.
- Bet on Ryu and the bats of the Blue Jays as they win the game as moneyline favorites at -120.
Phoenix Mercury +6.0 vs. Indiana Fever
Instead of trying to make a bet on esports or a bet on entertainment with your second leg of this parlay bet, you can look at the WNBA, as there are four games set to take place on Tuesday. Every game appears to have a pretty big betting spread, but looking at a matchup between the Phoenix Mercury and Indiana Fever is where you want to look.

Both of these teams have really struggled this season, as Phoenix is 6-18 on the year, and Indiana Fever has gone 6-19. The Mercury have lost nine straight games on the road, and the Fever just went through a very long losing streak.
Since both of these WNBA teams are desperate to pick up a win, you should expect some desperation from the visitors in this one.
- Indiana should get the win in this game, but Phoenix is going to cover the six-point spread.
Cincinnati Reds vs. Chicago Cubs (-165)
Fans of the Cincinnati Reds and Chicago Cubs thought that they would be looking to make a bet on esports by this point of the season, but that is no longer the case. Both the Reds and Cubs have been much better than expected, and they are meeting up for a huge series at Wrigley Field.
The Reds took the series opener by a score of 6-5, and they are now leading the Cubs by five games in the NL Central Division. Chicago Cubs will be looking for revenge in this matchup, and they have Justin Steele on the mound to get that done.

Steele is 11-3 on the season, and he has also pitched to a 2.87 ERA to be one of the better pitchers in the National League. Ben Lively will start for the Reds, and he has gone just 4-6 with a 3.76 ERA on the year.
- There is pressure on the Cubs to respond in this game, and taking the Cubs at -165 is the next game to include in your multisports parlay.
