The Monday slate was slim, but the Tuesday MLB schedule is loaded. There is a lot of betting value on Tuesday. With the contests on the schedule, it’s an easy decision to place a parlay for Tuesday, June 22, 2021.
Tampa Bay Rays Over the Boston Red Sox
Red Sox vs. Rays Betting Report
The stars are aligned for the Tampa Bay Rays to defeat the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday night. Everything favors the Rays in this contest. The first thing to note is that Wander Franco is making his MLB debut.
Franco is the first-ranked prospect in baseball, and he is ready to compete. I expect Franco to make a massive difference for the Rays. Andrew Kittredge is on the bump as well for Tampa Bay.
Kittredge has been very reliable in the 33.2 innings he has thrown. He is 5-1 with a 1.34 ERA with 30 strikeouts. Additionally, the pitcher has only allowed two home runs in his time on the bump.
Kittredge and Franco put Franco over on Tuesday. The Rays and Red Sox are battling for first place in the AL East standings. Tampa Bay delivers in game one of this series.
New York Yankees Over the Kansas City Royals
Royals vs. Yankees Betting Report
Do you know what the day of the week it is in New York?
It’s Gerrit Cole Day.
Tuesday will be the first time Cole pitches with the new foreign substance rules in place. Cole is still one of the best pitchers in the game. He will be able to adjust to the rules, especially against the Royals.
New York is slightly better than Kansas City. The Yankees are 38-33 compared to the Royals at 32-38.
Cole has been on fire in 2021 and the most reliable pitcher on the Yankees. He is 8-3 with a 2.31 ERA. He has fanned 117 batters in 89.2 innings of work.
Cole will pitch against Brady Singer. Singer has not had the same success in 2021. The pitcher is 3-5 with a 4.76 ERA. He has retired 71 batters in 68, so his strikeout ability is not elite.
The Royals have a more consistent lineup, but New York will win with home runs on Tuesday. The team has hit 90 bombs, compared to the Royals at 69 homers. The Yankees also have a higher team OBP.
Houston Astros Over the Baltimore Orioles
Astros vs. Orioles Betting Report
Every parlay needs an easy win. The Astros going over on the Orioles is what our parlay needs for an easy win. Houston is coming off a four-game sweep of the White Sox and a 10-2 win over Baltimore.
Houston is one of the best teams in the American League. Zack Greinke is on the hill for the Astros. He is 7-2 on the season with a 3.74 ERA and 66 strikeouts.
Greinke is not overpowering, but he has mastered the sub 90 MPH fastball. He will pitch against Jorge Lopez, who is 2-8 with a 5.95 ERA. Baltimore has players who can hit like Trey Mancini and Cedric Mullins.
However, it has been evident that these two cannot save the Orioles. The team is 23-49 compared to the Astros at 44-28.
