The sports world is starting to slow down a bit, but there are still plenty of solid betting options to explore on Monday night. There is an NBA Finals game on the schedule, and then a decent slate of MLB games to explore.
Putting together a parlay is going to give you a chance for a much bigger payout, and there are some games to include that won’t come with too much of a risk. Here are a few games that you should include in your June 12 parlay.
Miami Heat +9.0 vs. Denver Nuggets
The first game to include in your parlay bet is a wager from Game 5 of the NBA Finals between the Miami Heat and Denver Nuggets. Miami is trying to extend the series to a sixth game while Denver can actually win the title on Monday night.
Denver was a big favorite coming into this series and the Nuggets have looked the part through the first four games. Nikola Jokic has been dominant as usual, but the Nuggets are also getting plenty of great play from role players.
Miami has not been shooting the ball well in this series, and that’s something that simply has to change. The Heat have plenty of capable shooters on that roster, and they are going to have to find a way to knock down more open shots in this matchup.
The Nuggets are typically hard to beat on their home floor, but they are going to be feeling a bit of pressure on Monday night. Miami is a team that always seems to battle and play hard, and that’s what will happen in this game.
- Plenty of betting guides will tell you to take the Nuggets moneyline as they will win, but getting the nine points and betting on the Heat is the best way to go.
San Francisco Giants -130 vs. St. Louis Cardinals
You won’t find any chances to bet on Esports on Monday night, and therefore baseball is your next option. There is a decent slate of MLB games set to take place, including the San Francisco Giants visiting the St. Louis Cardinals.
San Francisco comes to St. Louis with some momentum after scoring 13 runs on Sunday afternoon against the Chicago Cubs. Logan Webb will make the start for the Giants, and he has the ability to be one of the best teams in the league.
You shouldn’t be just looking to bet on entertainment when putting together a parlay, as you always want to explore trends and then cash in. The St. Louis Cardinals have been a complete mess all season long, and they just can’t seem to find any pitching.
- The Cardinals are going to have another rough night on Monday as the Giants will begin the series by picking up a big win.
Tampa Bay Rays -1.5 vs. Oakland Athletics
There are times when you are looking to make a bet on sports that some games just seem to stand out way more than others. That should be the case on Monday night in Oakland as the Athletics host the Tampa Bay Rays.
Tampa just continues to win games, and the Rays swept the Oakland Athletics earlier this season. Oakland is the worst team in baseball this season, and they don’t have the talent needed to compete at this level.
The Athletics have a team ERA of 6.39 on the year, and they are facing a Tampa Bay team that is loaded with offense. It’s hard to see Oakland finding a way to get many outs in this matchup, and the Rays are going to roll in this one.
- You usually are going to want to stick to moneyline betting when using an MLB game in a parlay, but that’s not the strategy here. Take the Rays on the run line at -1.5, as they will have no trouble picking up a win by at least two runs.
