MLB Parlay July 15 Betting Preview
Kansas City Royals vs. Toronto Blue Jays
The MLB team stats tell the story for each of the two matchups in this parlay, and both of the moneyline favorites are in that position for a reason.
The Toronto Blue Jays are a playoff contender in the AL, and the Los Angeles Dodgers are the top team in the NL.
Unvaccinated Blue Jays Players
In Toronto, the Kansas City Royals are coming to town without ten players from their 26-man roster. Those ten players were not able to enter Toronto because they are unvaccinated, and that could create a pretty big challenge.
Kansas City comes into this game with a record of 36-53, and scoring runs has been an issue. Toronto is 47-43 on the year, and the Blue Jays have belted 116 home runs this year.
The Blue Jays did just fire their manager, and that could have an interesting impact on this weekend series. Toronto has the ability to be a great team, but they haven’t been as consistent as they would like to be.
Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Los Angeles Angels
In Los Angeles, the Dodgers come into this game at 58-30 on the year, while the Angels are just 39-51. The Los Angeles Dodgers have one of the most loaded rosters in all of baseball, and the Angels will counter with a dynamic duo of stars.
The Dodgers have a team batting average of .254 on the year, and they also have a team ERA of 3.01. Mookie Betts is having a big year for the Dodgers as he has belted 20 home runs.
Mike Trout leads the Angels with 24 homers on the year, and Shohei Ohtani has driven in 56 home runs. Trout and Ohtani continue to put up monster numbers, but they just don’t seem to get any help.
Starting Pitchers for Today’s Matchups
The starting pitching matchup in Toronto actually looks pretty even, and that’s about the only chance that the Royals have. Zack Greinke will start for the Royals, and Alek Manoah will be on the mound for the Toronto Blue Jays.
Greinke enters this game with a 3-5 record to go along with a 4.52 ERA. Manoah is 9-4 with a 2.34 ERA, and he is having the best season of his career.
In Los Angeles, the Dodgers appear to have a big edge in the starting pitching matchup as they have a future Hall of Famer on the mound. Clayton Kershaw will start for the Dodgers while Patrick Sandoval starts for the Los Angeles Angels.
Kershaw is having another dominant season as he is 6-2 with a 2.40 ERA on the year. Sandoval has a 3-4 record, but he does sport a solid ERA of 2.95.
MLB Parlay Predictions
We could easily suggest just picking both moneyline betting favorites in this game, but we are trying to get a bigger potential payout. Throwing in the Blue Jays at -1.5 will increase the odds, and that still seems like a safe play.
The Kansas City Royals come into Toronto with a ton of players missing, and they were already going to be facing a tough challenge. The Blue Jays should roll to a comfortable win on Friday, and taking them at -1.5 is the right play.
The battle in Los Angeles should be tighter than the odds might suggest, but Kershaw is going to pitch the Dodgers to a win. Take the safe play and bet on the Dodgers moneyline as they beat the AL rivals in Los Angeles.
MLB Parlay Pick
- Blue Jays 1.5 8-175)
- Dodgers (-210)
