- Bet Tampa Bay’s ML (-133) as home favorites in series closer against Baltimore.

I know I’m not the only one who took notice of Wednesday’s epic Tampa Bay Rays 12-run comeback win against the Baltimore Orioles, storming back after trailing 8-0 in the second inning.
In a matchup where an offensive explosion was not expected whatsoever, Tampa Bay’s heroic performance probably made for some of the best MLB parlay bets of the day.
With the Rays coming into the series closer against the Orioles as favorites according to MLB lines today, Tampa Bay is keen on making it three wins out of four in this divisional series.
As Tampa Bay looks to run it all back, let’s break down our picks for MLB’s best bets today in this game.
Top 3 Orioles vs Rays Parlay Picks
1. Tampa Bay Rays Moneyline (-133)
On paper, on the field, anywhere you look, Tampa Bay is the much better team in this matchup against Baltimore.
Rays starter Drew Rasmussen comes into the game not only having won his last five decisions but also holding a dominant 2.04 ERA at home in Steinbrenner Field.
Leaning on the better starting pitcher in this matchup and considering how tight the race for the AL East divisional lead continues to be with the Rays 1.5 games behind the New York Yankees, it’s a given the home team will come out looking to finish this series with a win, their third over the last four games.
If you need a strong MLB parlay pick to start a winning SGP with, taking Tampa Bay’s ML is the way to go.
Bet Tampa Bay Rays Moneyline (-133)
2. Charlie Morton Over 2.5 Earned Runs (+104)
Charlie Morton, Baltimore’s starter, is one of those cases where it’s tough to understand how a pitcher who’s performed so well over his last five starts still manages to hold a 6.05 ERA – and an even worse 7.97 road ERA.
Holding a 0-4 road record in six starts and with that reeling 7.97 road ERA to back him, taking Morton to give up at least 3 runs tonight at +104 odds is my favorite MLB prop pick today.
Bet Charlie Morton Over 2.5 Earned Runs (+104)
3. Jonathan Aranda Over 0.5 Hits (-197)
One of Tampa Bay’s main reasons for its strong start this season has got to be first baseman Jonathan Aranda’s performance on the plate.
His numbers currently rank him as one of the most consistent hitters in the league, with a .329 batting average and .913 OPS average (on-base plus slugging). It’s no wonder he leads the team with 75 total hits, including eight home runs and 14 doubles.
Already having put up six hits in the first three games of this series, including three on Wednesday night, taking his over in hits at -197 feels like an MLB picks steal, so don’t overthink it for a second.
Bet Jonathan Aranda Over 0.5 Hits (-197)
