BEST BETS: Monday's Best Bets For MLB - August 21, 2023

MLB Best Bet Parlay For Monday, August 21

Monday MLB Parlay Analysis

San Francisco Giants vs Philadelphia Phillies, 6:41 PM ET

LEG 1: Bryce Harper to Record 1+ Hit (-235) with Bet365

Friday broke our streak of 5 straight parlay winners! However, we’ve still hit 7 of our last 9. Today, we look to hit another to start the week strong.

Speaking of starting the week strong, Bryce Harper needs to do just that after going 0/3 last night in front of all the Little Leaguers. Those kids look up to Bryce, and he stunk it up.

Returning back home should do the trick. Harper is hitting .314 at home this season. Since the start of July, Harper has only gone back-to-back games without a hit TWICE.

He hasn’t been scorching the baseball like we’ve seen from him in years past, but today, we don’t need him to scorch one.

A simple single will do the trick. Bounce Back Bryce!

Seattle Mariners vs Chicago White Sox, 8:11 PM ET

LEG 2: Julio Rodriguez to Record 1+ Hit (-225) with Bet365

The 2nd Leg of the Parlay goes to arguable the hottest hitter in baseball, Julio Rodriguez.

J-Rod cooled off a little yesterday after having 4+ hits in 4 straight, he only had 1 in 5 chances. However, that’s all we need from him today too.

J-Rod will face the White Sox. Touki Toussaint is projected to start. Touki has a tendency to walk batters, however, J’Rod is always going up looking to put the ball in play, hence why he’s only walked 5 times this month.

Once Touki comes out, this White Sox bullpen is bad. That was me being nice. This team’s bullpen has been bad all year, they will give the Mariners chances. Seattle is also on the road, so J-Rod, who has been batting leadoff, will get plenty of chances.

Get it done in your first AB, Julio. We believe!

Texas Rangers vs Arizona Diamondbacks, 9:41 PM ET

LEG 3: Corey Seager 1+ Hit (-325) with Bet365

The Final Leg of this +169 Hit Parlay is Corey Seager. Seager has been one of the best hitters in baseball all season long and a perfect candidate for hit parlays.

Seager is hitting .333 in his last 5 games and gets a favorable matchup against Cecconi today. Cecconi enters this game allowing almost 8 hits per 9 innings this year.

Even when Cecconi comes out, Seager gets a Diamondbacks bullpen that is 26th in bullpen ERA in August. There should be plenty of opportunities there for a hit. 

Getting a guaranteed 9 innings of at-bats is huge for the road Rangers today. Since Seager bats right behind Semien, he will get a lot of plate appearances. 

Seager makes the perfect parlay piece because there’s no value on his hits or bases props individually. A talented hitter like Seager makes his way as he has a hit in 6 out of his last 8 games.
