Val's Big Payday Parlay June 27th 2024

Val’s Big Payday Parlay, pays +849

Chicago Cubs -107 & Chicago Cubs/SF Giants O7.5 -110

The Cubs try to avaoid being swept by the Giants in their four game series this afternoon, when S. Imanaga faces J. Hicks. Imanaga is trying to rebound from his worst start as a professional pitcher when he gave up 10 ER over 3 IP versus the Mets. I expect him to rebound here versus the Giants as Imanaga is a fly ball pitcher and that will play well at Oracle Park, and outside a couple of starts Imanaga has been a Cy Young candidate this season. Hicks started the 2024 season very strong but has had issues over the last month or so, his ERA over his last 7 starts is 4.41 with 5 of those games going over the total. I like the Cubs bats to come alive this afternoon and avoid being swept and this game going over the total. 

St Louis Cardinals -1.5 +157

The Reds are in St Louis to face the Cardinals tonight, it will be A. Abbott versus M. Mikolas on the mound. The Reds offense is struggling right now as their missing regulars in J. Candelario, J. Fraley with nagging injuries and are also without C. Encarnacion-Strand and M. McLain who are on the IL and probably done for the season. The Cards are hot right now having won 5 of their last 6 games and where once more than 10 games under .500 and now are 41-38 and sit in a Wild Card spot in the NL. Yes we're only at the mid point of the season but that is a nice turnaround. One of the reason the Cards have rebounded is Mikolas as he's really pitching well, the Cards have won 5 of his last 7 starts as he's posted an ERA of 2.98, I like Mikolas to pitch well again here and the Cards to win by multiple runs.
