Val’s Big Payday Parlay, pays +813

NY Yankees/Detroit Tigers U8.5 -106

The Yanks and Tigers close their 4 game series with an afternoon game that will have C. Schmidt and M. Manning pitching. Neither team has had success scoring runs in this series as the highest scoring game was last night which produced 8 runs. The Tigers have been particularly bad scoring a combined 5 runs over 3 games. Both starters have been strong over their last 2-3 starts, Manning in particular giving up only 1 ER over his last 17 2/3 IP. Neither offense is impressive right now, I like the under 8.5 here.

Atlanta Braves/LA Dodgers O8 -111

Two of the best teams in baseball start a 4 game series in LA. This could easily be a preview of an October baseball matchup in the NL. Tonight it will be S. Strider versus L. Lynn on the mound, Strider is in a zone right now having giving up 1 ER over 21 IP and striking out 25, however, those 3 starts came versus the not so offensive Giants and Mets. Lynn has also pitched well since being acquired from the White Sox, but did run into trouble in his last start giving up 3 ER in 6 IP with a WHIP close to 2. I think we will see runs scored with the bats scorching the ball on both sides right now.

Andy Murray +120 (Tennis)

With the lack of games available in baseball, I'm going with a tennis play between two veteran players in A. Murray and G. Dimitrov. Both are at the tail end of their careers and aren't really threats to win majors at this point, however, this should be an exciting match between two players with plenty of success in their careers. Murray leads the H2H matchup 8-3, however, they haven't faced each other since 2016 so that record doesn't really carry that much weight here. Dimitrov had a grueling 5 set match in RD 1 and that may carry over into this game, Murray on his end won his 1st RD match in straight sets. I like Murray here at plus money in RD 2.
