MLB 3-Game Parlay | Rangers, Rockies and Mariners Picks and Best Bets Today

This plus-money three-leg MLB parlay offers strong value with carefully targeted spots across Wednesday’s slate. We’re fading one of the league’s weakest lineups, backing a reliable veteran on a contending squad, and riding a breakout ace pushing for October.

The Rockies, despite their dismal record, face a Cleveland team that can’t buy a barrel. Texas turns to Nathan Eovaldi in a classic “stop the bleeding” spot against the sliding Angels. Meanwhile, Seattle has the perfect recipe to bounce back, with Bryan Woo dealing and a freshly energized lineup.

At +663 odds, this ticket holds real potential to cash by night’s end.

Leg 1: Rockies Moneyline +152

While the Colorado Rockies may be the worst team in baseball, this is an excellent price for them against an anemic offense in the Cleveland Guardians.

Cleveland sits dead last in virtually every advanced metric at the plate. The Guardians are at the bottom of baseball in xBA (.230), xSLG (.377), xwOBA (.299), xwOBACON (.344), and hard hit rate (36.1%). Cleveland is also the second-worst team with a 6.8% barrel rate and third-to-last with an average exit velocity of just 88.4 MPH. They are also fourth from the bottom in runs scored (3.9/game), and third from the bottom with a team OPS of .677.

While the Rockies have been struggling, they’ve shown improvement lately. Colorado has won four of seven, which is a lot for a team with a winning percentage of .262. The Rock has scored at least four in five of their past seven, which betters Cleveland’s 3.9 runs per game. Over the past two weeks, Colorado has scored the 13th most runs in baseball, a nice accomplishment for a squad that sits second-last in runs scored on the season.

Rockies starter Kyle Freeland has been much better on the road this season, which is fairly common for Colorado pitching in that thin air at home. The veteran lefty has an ERA of 4.65 and WHIP of 1.27 away from Coors Field, compared to a 5.98 ERA and 1.85 WHIP.

For Cleveland on the mound, this will be a bullpen game, with Kolby Allard as the opener. Cleveland ranks around the middle of the pack in the AL with an ERA of 3.94 and fifth from the bottom with a 1.32 WHIP in the seventh inning and beyond. Another knock on the Guardians’ pen is that they are without lights-out closer Emmanuel Clase. Cleveland’s closer is on paid leave while an investigation into his possible involvement in a sports-betting scandal continues. Clase is tied for second in the American League with 24 saves, to go along with five wins and a 3.23 ERA.

The price tag is the most appealing thing here, as +152 is tremendous value for Colorado against a very mediocre Cleveland team.

Where to Watch Rangers vs Angels

Ballpark: Angel Stadium
Location: Anaheim, California
Where to Watch: FDSW, RSN

Time: 9:38 p.m. ET
Spread: TEX -1.5 (+128) | Total: 8
Moneyline: TEX -124| LAA +106

Leg 2: Rangers Moneyline -124

The Texas Rangers look to get back on track in their wild-card chase after dropping the first two of this three-game set with the Los Angeles Angels. Luckily for Texas, they have the perfect losing streak stopper on the mound in Nathan Eovaldi.

Eovaldi is having a career campaign in his third year with the Rangers. The former New York Yankee is flashing career bests in ERA (1.50), WHIP (0.88), and opponents’ batting average (.193). Even though he is a few innings short of the minimum (96.0 IP), his earned run average would be well below the MLB leader, Paul Skenes‘ (1.83). The veteran righty also has some impressive advanced metrics. His 4.9% walk percentage ranks in the top six percent of baseball, while his pitching run value score of 26 is in the top one percent of all big league pitchers.

Los Angeles has struggled against right-handed pitching all year long. The Angels rank fourth from the bottom with a .236 batting average against righties and 24th with a .312 OBP. Overall, LA sits in the bottom half of baseball, scoring 4.3 runs per game.

At the plate, the Rangers simply haven’t delivered the kind of punch fans are used to seeing. With just 446 runs scored, Texas ranks 22nd in MLB—firmly in the league’s lower third offensively. Part of the issue has been the absence of big bats like Josh Jung, Corey Seager, and Joc Pederson due to injuries over the course of the season. Compounding matters, Adolis Garcia and Marcus Semien got off to sluggish starts, leaving the lineup flat. Still, there’s a feeling this offense is capable of more as the postseason push draws closer.

Just one game back of a wild card spot, I like Texas to rebound and avoid the series sweep tonight, with a good showing behind Nathan Eovaldi.

Where to Watch Mariners vs Athletics

Ballpark: Sutter Health Park
Location: West Sacramento, California
Where to Watch: MLB Network, NBCS-CA, ROOT Sports NW
Follow: SportsGrid App (Google Play Store or Apple Store)
Time: 10:05 p.m. ET
Spread: SEA -1.5 (+110) | Total: 9.5
Moneyline: SEA -148 | ATH +126

Leg 3: Mariners Moneyline -148

Occupying the AL’s final wild card spot and just four games back of the Houston Astros for the division lead, the Seattle Mariners appear to be all in for a playoff push. After acquiring Josh Naylor from the Arizona Diamondbacks last week, Seattle is apparently not done ahead of tomorrow’s trade deadline and wants to secure every win possible before the deadline passes. They’ll look to continue in a positive direction in tonight’s rubber match with division rival, the Athletics.

Seattle has the right pitcher on the mound to notch a series win, as Bryan Woo will go for his MLB-leading 16th quality start of the year. Woo is having a breakout campaign in 2025, with already a career best 121 strikeouts in 126 innings, and is on pace for new personal bests in wins and opponents’ batting average (.206). Woo’s first start of the season came against the A’s, where he got the win after going six strong, giving up three hits, one earned run, while striking out five. I expect another strong performance from Woo tonight against the Athletics.

While Seattle’s offense has stumbled a bit lately (.208 BA over the past 15 days), they do score the 12th-most runs in baseball this season. The M’s also sit just outside the top 10 with a .730 OPS and exactly 10th with a .321 OBP. Naylor has created a bit of a spark, with already four stolen bases in five games, to go along with five hits.

Although the M’s have not been great against LHP A’s starter Jeffrey Springs this season (1.64 ERA in two starts), they have pounded lefties all year. Seattle ranks ninth with a .721 OPS, eighth with a .411 SLG, and third with 43 home runs against southpaws. Adding the pop Naylor possesses, who had 11 HR and a .807 OPS with the D-backs, strengthens the entire middle of the lineup and will force Springs to throw strikes.

Seattle breaks out of its slump against Springs and rides a stellar performance by Woo to clinch a series win tonight.
