Val’s Big Payday Parlay, pays +752

Chicago Cubs +107

The Cubs and Twins play the rubber game of this 3 game series this afternoon when M. Stroman faces L. Varland. The Cubs got their asses handed to them yesterday in an 11-1 loss that saw them give up 5 homeruns to the Twins. Stroman along with J. Steele have been the anchors to the Cubs pitching staff so far this season. He's sporting an ERA of 2.28 and has kept the Cubs in line for a victory in every start. Varland will only be making his fourth start of the season and hasn't looked great in 2 of the previous 3. I like the Cubs bats to wake up today and provide Stroman with the run support to come out victorious today.

Toronto Blue Jays -105

The Jays look to sweep the Braves this afternoon when C. McHugh faces Y. Kikuchi, clearly the Braves are going with a bullpen game here. The Braves have lost 3 straight and their offense has been non existent during this streak scoring a combined 4 runs. That isn't good news for them as Kikuchi has a home ERA of 0.77 through 2 starts and even if the sample size is small, Kikuchi has been pitching well all season. The Braves are renowned for resting their starters on Sundays and wouldn't be surprised if we get a weaker starting lineup for them today. I like the Jays to sweep here.

Cincinnati Reds/Miami Marlins O8 -116

The Reds look to sweep the Marlins this afternoon, runs have come with relative ease in this series as both games 1 & 2 provided 11 runs each. Today we have two gas cans starting in L. Weaver & B. Garrett, Garret has an ERA of 5.97 while Weaver is at 7.36. Weaver has made 4 starts and given up 4 earned runs in each while never pitching more that 6 innings. Garrett started the season off strong but has regressed back to what he normally is over his last 2 starts, which is a pitcher with a ERA well north of 4.5. Runs should continue to be scored today and we will get over the total here.
