Now that the 2023 NFL Preseason is underway, there are going to be more betting options to explore throughout the month of August. You aren’t going to find any NFL betting options this weekend, but there are still some great bets to make.
The MLB season is really starting to heat up, and that is where you should look if you want to start wagering. You can also take a look at the WNBA slate of games this weekend to find a betting option include in your parlay bet.
Here is a look at three of the best bets for the weekend that you should consider including in your parlay if you want to cash in.
Los Angeles Dodgers vs. San Diego Padres
One of the best bets for the weekend will come on Friday night as the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres are set to begin a big series in the NL West Division. The moneyline for this game is set at EVEN, and that will give you a great chance at cashing in while simply betting on one team to win.
When you are looking at betting guides for MLB, you always want to look at the starting pitching matchup first. With Yu Darvish set to take the mound for the Padres on Friday night, they are going to be the team to look at in this one.
The Dodgers have won three straight games, but all of those wins came against the lowly Oakland Athletics. Los Angeles has struggled against Darvish in the past, and that is what will take place in San Diego in this matchup.
- Bet on the San Diego Padres at EVEN on the moneyline as they win the series opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Colorado Rockies vs. St. Louis Cardinals -1.5
Fans of the Colorado Rockies and St. Louis Cardinals might be looking to bet on entertainment at this point of the year, as both teams are going to miss the postseason. Since these teams are meeting up on Friday night in St. Louis, you can also find a pretty good betting opportunity in this matchup.
If you are going to make a bet on sports, then you have to look at the matchups, and you will find that St. Louis is a much better overall team than the Rockies. The Cardinals still have a terrific lineup, and veteran Adam Wainwright will be on the mound in this game.
Colorado comes into this series having lost two straight games, and they are 19 games under the .500 mark on the road this season. The Rockies just don’t seem to find much offense outside of Coors Field, and that will impact this game.
Wainwright is searching for win number 199, and his teammates will want to give him some support in this matchup.
- The Cardinals will have a big day on offense, and taking them at -1.5 on the run line is the way to go in this one.
Los Angeles Sparks vs. Washington Mystics -3.5
Instead of making a bet on esports, you should be looking at the WNBA to find another great betting option to make. The Los Angeles Sparks will be in Washington to take on the Mystics, and the home team is the betting favorite in this game.
Los Angeles appeared to be turning things around this season, but then they went and lost their last two games. The Sparks just haven’t been able to score enough points to win games this year, as they are averaging just 78 points per game.
Washington is also heading in the wrong direction after losing three straight games, but they have been pretty solid throughout the year. The Mystics are trying to get back to the .500 mark with a win in this game, and they should be able to do plenty of scoring in this game.
- Taking the Washington Mystics at -3.5 is one of the best bets for the weekend that you should consider making.
