MLB fans have a rare 16-game slate on tap for Saturday, with a healthy mix of afternoon and evening action. The final game of the day will take place on the west coast, with the American League-leading Baltimore Orioles traveling to face the surging Seattle Mariners.
In the last eight days alone, we have cashed a +758 parlay, an +837 parlay, and a +711 parlay. We nearly cashed another +940 parlay on Friday, but the Colorado Rockies blew a seventh-inning lead as +320 underdogs, losing 2-1 to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Yesterday, we went 2-1 again on plus-money plays, but lost the parlay because Joey Votto didn’t collect two total bases.
Not counting the All-Star Game, we have cashed eight tickets in this article, narrowly missed 25 winners, and had 18 tickets seemingly dead on arrival. Playing longshot parlays each day, these results are within the parameters of what is expected. As we highlight every day, these plays have been exceptionally profitable if played as individual tickets.
In this article, we never post a ticket with shorter than +700 odds, meaning that we only need to hit once each week to be profitable. Overall, these plays are 86-63-1 (57.5%) if played as straight wagers, many of which have been significant alt-lines, even as individual tickets.

MLB Parlay Piece for August 12, 2023
- Baltimore Orioles -1.5
- Gunnar Henderson 2+ Total Bases
- Adley Rutschman 2+ Total Bases
Baltimore Orioles -1.5 (+230)
Cole Irvin is on the bump for the Baltimore Orioles today, but the rest of this team is still the same group of talent that has put together the best record in the American League to date. The Seattle Mariners have played well of late, but they still have all of the same flaws that they had before this 8-game winning streak. The Orioles have the better offense and a better defense in this matchup – don’t be surprised if they find a way to get the job done here.
Gunnar Henderson 2+ Total Bases (+110)
Editor’s Note: Gunnar Henderson is not starting for the Baltimore Orioles today.
Entering play on Saturday, Gunnar Henderson has gone hitless in back-to-back contests. Prior to that, he had an .842 OPS from July 29 to August 9. Henderson has been a virtual automatic out against southpaws in 2023, but he has a respectable 127 wRC+ against right-handed pitching as a rookie. Henderson is well-positioned to have a productive day at the plate this evening.
Adley Rutschman 2+ Total Bases (+120)
Adley Rutschman has been on a tear in recent weeks, with seven multi-hit performances in his last 12 games. During that stretch, Rutschman has posted a .327 batting average and a .913 OPS. George Kirby has struggled to a 3.96 FIP and allowed a .268 opponent batting average against left-handed hitters this season, making this play a worthwhile inclusion in today’s longshot parlay.
