We have an 11-game MLB slate set for today, so let’s dive into all the action the day ahead will bring.
Looking at the small, four-game afternoon slate, the Atlanta Braves and Baltimore Orioles will kick it off in Camden Yards as the O’s are on the verge of sweeping the spiraling Braves, who are losers of five straight. Additionally, the New York Yankees will aim to sweep the Kansas City Royals today in what could be another high-scoring matchup, so we worked up a +750 ultimate same-game parlay for the action.
Later on, we have a pitching duel in Fenway as Aaron Nola will take the ball for the Philadelphia Phillies, and Tanner Houck will get the start for the Boston Red Sox. Plus, the Seattle Mariners will look to extend their win streak to five games tonight against the Chicago White Sox. Looking at the Mariners, they’ve quietly built themselves an impressive 40-30 record as they’re beginning to build great separation in the AL West, but more importantly, their pitching staff continues to execute at an elite level, showing promise of what they could do in a postseason series. Their offense needs help, but in this era of frequent postseason updates, don’t discount stacking futures on the Mariners!
It should be a great day of baseball, so stay with SportsGrid to be covered on everything the day will throw at us. Let’s ride!
