BEST BETS: Wednesday's Best Bets For the MLB - August 16, 2023

MLB Best Bet Parlay For Wednesday, August 16

Wednesday MLB Parlay Analysis

Cleveland Guardians vs. Cincinnati Reds, 6:41 PM ET

LEG 1: Matt McClain 1+ Hit (-240) with Bet365

The hot streak continued on Monday with the +185 Hit Parlay hitting once again. We’ve now hit four straight hit parlays, and six of our last seven. Can we continue this run today? I say yes. Let’s dive in.

Matt McLain is coming off a hitless game. It’s very rare you see McLain go back-to-back games without a hit, and that won’t be the case today as he faces Noah Syndergaard.

McLain is 2/2 in his lifetime vs. Syndergaard, and he looks to improve on those splits today.

Noah throws a heavy dose of fastballs, sliders, sinkers & curveballs; four pitches that McLain demolishes. The Reds are at home. I am confident McLain comes through and gets this first leg down rather easily.

Oakland Athletics vs. St. Louis Cardinals, 6:46 PM ET

LEG 2: Paul Goldschmidt 1+ Hit (-270) with Bet365

The second leg of this hit parlay is Paul Goldschmidt.

Paul hasn’t found his way into the hit parlay too often this season, so don’t make us regret this. However, we love the matchup today against Paul Blackburn. A battle of the Paul’s if you will.

Goldschmidt is batting .285 at home and has 2+ hits in three straight games. It’s clear he is seeing the ball well.

Blackburn has struggled on the road allowing a .339 Opponent Batting Average. Let’s hope Goldschmidt takes advantage early in this one. We don’t need much, just one measly hit will do the trick.

Milwaukee Brewers vs. Los Angeles Dodgers, 10:11 PM ET

LEG 3: Mookie Betts 1+ Hit (-270) with Bet365

The Final Leg of this +166 Hit Parlay is Mookie Betts. Betts and the Dodgers face off against Wade Miley and the Brewers.

Mookie has a 14-game hit streak at home and he gets a great matchup vs the lefty Wade Miley today. Against Miley, Mookie is 9-19 batting .474. 

Mookie just finds ways to get hits at home. On the season, Mookie is hitting .325 at home. 

With that type of familiarity against a starting pitcher and the game being at home, it’s hard not to include him in the hit parlay. Mookie has helped us in hit parlays all season long and he should come through for us again.
