20 of MLB’s 30 teams are in action on Thursday and we’re scoping out a pair of moneylines and a total for our parlay picks.
The pregame narrative: The Houston Astros and Atlanta Braves are both searching for their third consecutive win and we’re betting on both getting it. A teased-up under seems like the right call between the Los Angeles Angels and Texas Rangers with two strong pitchers on the mound.
Find all our MLB parlay picks for June 15 below.
MLB odds as of 10:09 a.m. ET on 06/15/23.
MLB parlay picks
Parlay: Astros moneyline + Braves moneyline + Angels vs. Rangers under 10.5 runs (+198)
Astros moneyline (-200) : Houston hasn’t been lighting the league on fire but back-to-back wins have us optimistic.
Especially considering the fashion of the team’s recent victories. The bats have been getting it done with the squad scoring 11 runs across the last two games. The Astros’ offence should continue producing with MacKenzie Gore taking the mound for the opposing Washington Nationals.
Gore owns a sub-par 4.04 ERA this year and that number balloons to 5.14 over his last five starts.
Houston, meanwhile, is sending Cristian Javier to the bump and he’s in the midst of an excellent season. He has a 3.13 ERA and the Astros have won 10 of his 13 starts this year.
Other parlay picks
Braves moneyline (-250) : Canadian Michael Soroka needs a little more time in the minors which means highly-touted pitching prospect AJ Smith-Shawver will make his second start for Atlanta.
If his first start is any indication, this youngster is going to have an impressive major-league career. The 20-year-old ceded just three hits and two runs — zero earned — through 5.1 innings pitched against Washington on June 9.
He faces a Colorado Rockies team that’s struggling to score away from Coors Field, averaging the fourth-fewest road runs per game (3.77) in the majors.
Kyle Freeland starts for Colorado, and although his 3.91 ERA isn’t terrible, his 4.79 FIP suggests there’s some negative regression on the horizon.
Angels vs. Rangers under 10.5 runs (-240) : Los Angels and Texas play the fourth game of their series on Thursday and both are sending quality arms to the mound.
Shohei Ohtani and Nathan Eovaldi are getting the start for their respective teams, and both enjoying excellent seasons.
It’s been status quo from Ohtani, who has a 3.32 ERA while striking out 102 batters through 76.0 innings of work. Unsurprisingly, the under on this total has hit in 10 of his 13 starts.
Eovaldi is also having a very solid campaign. He has an even better 2.49 ERA to go with a 2.62 FIP. He’s allowed more than three earned runs in just two of his 13 starts this year. He has faced the Angels once this season, pitching eight scoreless innings while ceding just five hits.
The under has hit in two of the first three games of this series.
