MLB Best Bet Parlay For Wednesday, August 2

Wednesday MLB Parlay Analysis

Philadelphia Phillies vs. Miami Marlins, 6:41 PM ET

LEG 1: Luis Arraez 1+ Hit (-275) with Bet365

The first leg of this hit parlay might seem familiar. Yes, we’re once again rolling with the best hitter in baseball, Luis Arraez.

At home, Arraez is hitting a ridiculous .420 on the season. He faces Zack Wheeler and the Phillies today at home.

Even though Wheeler is a great pitcher, Arraez still should see plenty of pitches to hit. Wheeler throws a lot of pitches in the zone. 

Wheeler has allowed 7+ hits in three out of his last six starts this season. All we need is one hit from Luis today!

Cincinnati Reds vs. Chicago Cubs, 8:06 PM ET

LEG 2: Nico Hoerner 1+ Hit (-275) with Bet365

The second leg of this parlay involves a team that put up a football score yesterday. We’re taking Nico Hoerner to get a hit against the Reds today.

It was a sight to behold looking at the Cubs score 20 runs yesterday. Standing in their way today for the Reds is the lefty Brandon Williamson.

Against lefties, Hoerner is hitting .271 this season. At home, Hoerner also has a great batting average of .302 this season.

In only three plate appearances, Hoerner is 1-3 vs Williamson so he’s already had a hit against him. We need another hit today from Nico today, and we should get it done for us.

Oakland Athletics vs. Los Angeles Dodgers, 10:10 PM ET

LEG 3: Mookie Betts 1+ Hit (-245) with Bet365

The final leg of this +161 banger: Mookie Betts.

Betts hasn’t found his way into the hit parlay too often, but when he has, he has delivered. Betts returned after his two-game absence yesterday with a two-hit performance.

On the season, Betts is batting .279 on the year, however, at home, that balloons up to .310.

Today, he will face Hogan Harris, a lefty. Mookie has slightly better splits vs. Lefties, which we like to see. I love this matchup for him.

Being at home, facing a bad Athletics team. Let’s get it done, Mookie.
