The sports calendar is still pretty light as we head into the final weekend of July, but that will soon change as football is set to return. Major League Baseball will once again be the major sport to focus on, but you can also find some women’s sporting events to wager on.
Putting together a multisports parlay is never a bad idea, especially if you find some games that provide some value. July provides an opportunity to look at some different betting options, and that is always something that is a good idea.
Here is a look at the best bets for the weekend that you should consider throwing into a multisports parlay.
New York Yankees -125 vs. Baltimore Orioles
If you are looking to bet on sports when it comes to MLB, then you really need to focus on the starting pitching matchup. That’s the biggest reason to back the New York Yankees on Friday night as they visit the Baltimore Orioles to begin a series.
Gerrit Cole is taking the ball for the Yankees, and he has gone 9-2 with an ERA under 3.00 this season. New York should also be getting Aaron Judge back in the lineup, and that makes them extremely dangerous.
Baltimore is leading the AL East Division heading into this game, but they still have some work left to do. The Orioles will struggle to do much damage on offense in this one.
- Betting the Yankees at -125 is the way to go.
Tampa Bay Rays -135 vs. Houston Astros
Another of the best bets for the weekend to make is a matchup between the Tampa Bay Rays and Houston Astros on Friday night. These are two of the best MLB teams in the American League, and there is a chance that they could meet up in the postseason.
Tampa Bay will have Shan McClanahan on the mound to begin the series, and he has gone 11-1 with a 2.89 ERA this season. Tampa Bay has really cooled off after a huge start to the year, but this team is still 62-43 on the year.
Houston Astros comes into this game with a record of 58-45, and they are trying to find a way to make a run in the AL West Division. The Astros were just blown out in their most recent game, but this team can really pitch.
- This should be a tight ballgame on Friday night, but backing the Tampa Bay Rays at -135 is the way to go in this one.
New York Liberty vs. Los Angeles Sparks
Some people tend to make a bet on esports more than betting on the WNBA, but that is actually a big mistake. You can find some great WNBA matchups when it comes to betting, and that will be the case this weekend in Los Angeles.
You have to look at more than records when putting together betting guides, but the 18-5 record of the Liberty is hard to ignore. Los Angeles Sparks has gone just 9-15 this season, and the Sparks recently went through a long losing streak.
New York Liberty is a team with a ton of momentum, and they have also proven to get it done on both ends of the floor.
- The Liberty won’t be messing around in this game, and they are another team to take in this parlay bet.
Chicago Cubs vs. St. Louis Cardinals
Looking into the Sunday slate of baseball games can also unlock some of the best bets for the weekend to make. The Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals are set to conclude a four-game weekend series, and you should be looking to back the Cubs in this one.
Cardinals fans might be looking to make a bet on entertainment by Sunday, as this weekend could see the departure of some of their MLB players. The Cardinals have been a major disappointment this season, and the Cubs have controlled the head-to-head matchups in the second half.
Kyle Hendricks will be starting for the Cubs on Sunday, and he has been terrific throughout his career against the St. Louis Cardinals.
- Bet on that trend to continue as the Cubs roll over the Cubs to end the weekend.
