The Yankees have won 11 straight and are poised for another dub tonight behind breakout star Nestor Cortes Jr., who’s been lights-out with a 1.31 ERA and a 28:3 K/BB ratio over his first four starts this year. Bet against them at your own peril, especially with Toronto sending a struggling Yusei Kikuchi to the bump.

The White Sox are starting to heat up again and have won three of their last four. They also have Lucas Giolito on the hill against a shaky Kyle Hendricks and a very beatable Cubs lineup.
The Rockies have played well in the early going and are in a great spot tonight against the lowly Nationals and Patrick Corbin, who has a whopping 8.69 ERA this year. Colorado’s bats are hot and should be able to do enough damage against Corbin to cover the run line.
Combine these three picks for our MLB parlay bet of the day.

For our longshot, we’re doubling down on the teams above and adding the Red Sox. The Angels have had a better start than them, but I like the pitching matchup for Boston here with Garrett Whitlock on the mound.
Whitlock has a minuscule 0.54 ERA in 16 2/3 innings this year after posting a 1.96 mark last year. The Red Sox just shut the Angels out yesterday and are in a good spot to win again at Fenway Park tonight.
