BEST BETS: Friday's Best Bets For the MLB - August 4, 2023

MLB Best Bet Parlay For Friday, August 4

Friday MLB Parlay Analysis

Kansas City Royals vs. Philadelphia Phillies, 7:05 PM ET

LEG 1: Bryce Harper 1+ Hit (-200) with Bet365

We’ve hit both our parlays of the day this week, going for the illustrious 3-0 perfect week. Let’s get things started with a guy that is new to the hit parlays.

The first leg of this parlay involves a great matchup in Philly. Harper and the Phillies take on Jordan Lyles and the Royals today.

Against Lyles, Harper is 3-7 batting .429. Jordan Lyles is the definition of batting practice as he’s allowed 6+ hits in four out of his last six starts.

At home, Harper is batting .331 this season. He should see plenty of opportunities to get a hit for us against the Royals bullpen as well.

Miami Marlins vs. Texas Rangers, 8:05 PM ET

LEG 2: Luis Arraez 1+ Hit (-280) with Bet365

The second leg of this hit parlay is back to Ol’ Reliable Luis Arraez. I’ve lost track of how many hit parlays he has helped us cash this year. 

Arraez faces a fellow lefty in Jordan Montgomery today. Montgomery makes his Rangers debut today.

On the season, Luis Arraez is hitting a ridiculous .377. On the road, it only takes a slight dip to a .339 average. 

Montgomery has allowed six hits in two out of his last three starts. Arraez should have several plate appearances batting on the road in this one to get it done for us.

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Milwaukee Brewers, 8:10 PM ET

LEG 3: Christian Yelich 1+ Hit (-250) with Bet365

The finallLeg of this hit parlay involves Christian Yelich. Yelich has a hit in 13 out of his last 15 games and is quietly one of the best hitters in baseball right now. 

Yelich has a favorable matchup with Quinn Priester today as Priester is allowing a .314 average to lefties this season. Add on the fact that Yelich is batting .304 at home this season and we have a great recipe to cash.

Batting leadoff, Yelich will see plenty of hit opportunities against the young pitcher and the atrocious Pirates bullpen. It isn’t an accident that the Brewers had an offensive explosion yesterday.

We need Yelich to come through for us and he will do just that.
