MLB Parlay Betting Preview
Astros Against Athletics Betting Preview
The results on Monday night were surprising in both series as the Houston Astros and Giants have been much better teams in 2022.
Houston is one of the best teams in baseball, while the Giants are in the playoff race in the National League.
Houston enters Tuesday night with an overall record of 64-33, and the Athletics are just 36-63 on the year.
NL West Division Leaders
The Astros lead the NL West Division by a wide margin, while the Athletics are one of the worst teams in baseball.
The MLB stats for the Astros have been impressive in most areas this season as they do nearly everything well. Houston has belted 138 home runs on the season while also pitching to a team ERA of 3.03.
Giants Against Diamondbacks Betting Preview
San Francisco hasn’t been as dominant as Houston this season, but the Giants have been better than the Diamondbacks.
The San Francisco Giants enter play on Tuesday night with a record of 48-48, while the Diamondbacks are 43-53 on the year.
Giants Losing Streak
San Francisco has lost five straight games to start the second half of the year, and the offense has really come up short. The Giants are hitting .234 this season, but some MLB injuries have impacted the lineup.
Arizona put up seven runs in the series-opening win on Monday night, but they are another team that just hasn’t been consistent enough. The Diamondbacks have a team ERA of 4.22, and that is another big issue.
Starting Pitchers for Today’s Parlay
Astros Against Athletics Starting Pitchers
The starting pitching matchup in this game should be terrific as it will be Luis Garcia starting for the Astros and Frankie Montas pitching for Oakland. Both pitchers have a terrific ERA, but the records aren’t very similar.
Garcia is 8-5 with a 3.65 ERA on the year, and he has been absolutely dominant at times. Montas is just 3-9 on the year, despite pitching to an ERA of 3.16 in 2022.
Giants Against Diamondbacks Starting Pitchers
Carlos Rodon is set to start for the San Francisco Giants, and he has been one of the best pitchers in baseball this season. Rodon is 8-5 with a 2.95 ERA, and he will receive some Cy Young votes at the end of the year.
Tyler Gilbert will be starting for the Diamondbacks, and he has struggled up to this point. Gilbert is 0-3 with a 5.34 ERA, and he will be facing a desperate lineup in this matchup.
MLB Parlay for July 26 Picks and Predictions
The Oakland Athletics are not a team that wins very often, and so you have to expect that the Houston Astros will bounce back in that series.
Oakland will have their ace on the mound on Tuesday night, but the Astros will find enough offense to pull ahead.
San Francisco has gotten off to a horrible start to the second half, but it will be Carlos Rodon that helps get things turned back around.
The Giants will have to find some offense at some point, but they should be able to come through with enough clutch hitting to get that done. Take the Houston Astros -165 and the San Francisco Giants -190 on Tuesday night.
