Leg 1: Orioles ML
The Cubs handed the O’s a pretty ugly loss last night, and tonight, they’ll look to bounce back with Corbin Burnes on the mound. The Orioles have won seven of the previous nine games with Burnes on the mound, and the Cubs offense collectively isn’t too much to sweat over. Shota Imanaga will take the ball for the Cubs, and after his strong start to the season, he has slightly regressed enough for us to trust the Orioles’ sluggers to get on him.
Leg 2: Corbin Burnes 5+ Strikeouts
Corbin Burnes has had at least five strikeouts in nine straight starts, and while the Cubs have struck out collectively slightly less than the league average over the past two weeks, Burnes will be in the game long enough to work his way up to five strikeouts.
Leg 3: Adley Rutschman 2+ Total Bases
During the season, Adley Rutschman has a .400 batting average and a .645 slugging percentage against left-handed pitching. Even though Imanaga is better than the average lefty, Rutschman’s numbers against lefties are strong enough to trust him to get us at least two total bases.
Leg 4: Gunnar Henderson 1+ Hit
Gunnar Henderson has had a hit in 12 of his last 14 games, and he’s been dependable in our same-game parlays repeatedly. We have no reason to abandon him here.
Leg 5: Jordan Westburg 1+ Hit
Jordan Westburg has had a hit in seven straight games and sports a .327 batting average at home this season. That’s good enough for me!
Leg 6: Michael Busch 1+ Hit
After a strong June with a .297 batting average, Michael Busch is riding a six-game hit streak in July thus far and is fresh off a four-hit performance last night. He’s only priced at -175 to record a hit tonight, so we’re getting a great value here to boost our parlay’s odds.
