We are in the second half of the MLB season, and the Trade Deadline is fast approaching. Playoff races in both leagues are starting to heat up as well, and the MLB betting odds now reflect where teams are in the standings.
Picking games straight up when it comes to MLB is always a good play, but you can also create a two-team parlay for an even bigger win.
There are some big mismatches on paper on Friday, July 29, and looking at the run line can equal an even bigger payout.
MLB Parlay Matchups
For the MLB parlay for July 29 of 2022, we are looking at the New York Yankees and St. Louis Cardinals to come up with big wins.
New York is at home against the Kansas City Royals, and the Cardinals are on the road to face the Washington Nationals.
MLB Parlay Odds
When you are making MLB betting picks, you are going to want to take a close look at the MLB odds. You won’t find good value in the moneyline odds for each game, but you can swing that to your favor if betting the run line.
New York has moneyline odds set at -350 on Friday night, but taking them at -1.5 comes with odds at -190. St. Louis is a -190 favorite on the moneyline, and then the odds are at -115 if you take them at -1.5.
Combining those two odds can result in a payout of $185 as the odds would then flip to +185 for this two-team parlay.
New York Yankees vs. Kansas City Royals
The New York Yankees enter Friday night with a record of 67-33 on the year, and they continue to have the best record in baseball.
New York hosts a Kansas City team that is just 39-60 on the year and actually traded its best player over to the Yankees.
MLB Stats
One look at the MLB stats for the Royals shows you that they have struggled in all areas in 2022, and they just don’t have a ton of talent. Kansas City is just 17-30 on the road in 2022, including a loss in New York on Thursday.
The Yankees have gone 38-12 at home this season, and they are the most powerful team in baseball. Aaron Judge hit his 39th home run of the season in the series opener, and New York has belted 169 of them as a team.
St. Louis Cardinals vs. Washington Nationals
The St. Louis Cardinals head to Washington with a record of 52-47, and they are in second place in the NL Central Division. St. Louis has gone just 2-3 in their last five games, but they are clearly the better overall team in this game.
Washington is an astonishing 15-36 at home so far in 2022, and they are just 34-66 overall. The Nationals are another team that is looking to unload talent at the Trade Deadline as they continue to rebuild for the future.
MLB Starting Pitchers
Yankees Against Royals Starting Pitchers
Looking at starting pitching matchups is always important when betting on baseball, and it’s a big mismatch in New York. Kris Bubic will make a start for the Royals, and he will face Gerrit Cole of the Yankees.
Bubic comes into this game with a record of 2-6, and he also has a high ERA of 5.53. Cole has been one of the best pitchers in baseball this season as he has gone 9-3 with a 3.09 ERA.
Cardinals Against Nationals Starting Pitchers
The starting pitching matchup in this game is a mismatch, as well as Miles Mikolas starting for St. Louis and Anibal Sanchez starting for Washington Nationals. Mikolas was an All-Star selection this season, and Sanchez is simply trying to hang on to a starting spot.
Miles Mikolas has gone just 7-8 overall this season, but he sports a healthy ERA of 2.87 this season. Sanchez is 0-2 with a 6.30 ERA, and he has not gotten off to a good start.
