MLB Parlay Piece for August 3, 2023
- Amed Rosario 2+ Total Bases
- Enrique Hernandez 2+ Total Bases
- Los Angeles Dodgers -3.5
Amed Rosario 2+ Total Bases (-120)
Amed Rosario has an abysmal .624 OPS against right-handed pitching this year, but he has an elite .844 OPS against left-handed pitching. Tonight, he will get to face left-hander JP Sears, who has struggled to a 5.00 FIP against right-handed batters in 2023. Rosario is batting .385 with a pair of extra-base hits in four games since coming over to Los Angeles – trust him to get the job done here.
Enrique Hernandez 2+ Total Bases (+145)
Enrique Hernandez played himself out of an everyday role against right-handed pitching with his performance prior to the trade deadline. However, he still has a fair amount of value against southpaws. Since joining the Los Angeles Dodgers, Hernandez is 5-for-17 at the plate with a pair of extra-base hits. Trust him to run into a ball against JP Sears in the early portion of tonight’s game.
Los Angeles Dodgers -3.5 (+172)
Entering play on Thursday, the Oakland Athletics have the worst record in all of baseball. The Los Angeles Dodgers have the fourth-best record in all of baseball. The Dodgers have won each of the first two games of this series by at least four runs and have a starting pitching advantage again this evening. One of these teams has legitimate World Series aspirations while the other team is heading toward the cellar. This is a worthwhile inclusion in today’s longshot parlay.
