The Texas Rangers can't get out of their own way, as they enter Sunday Night Baseball on a six-game losing streak. Tonight, they'll try to snap out of their losing ways and avoid the sweep against the Baltimore Orioles.
The Orioles have been red-hot in June. That's been especially true of outfielder Anthony Santander, who clubbed his 13th home run of the month yesterday.
The pitching matchup features Andrew Heaney on the mound for the Rangers and Cole Irvin for the Orioles.
It should be a fun evening at Camden Yards for Sunday Night Baseball — and hopefully it'll be even more fun with my juicy three-leg same-game parlay that pays over 11-1.
Here's my Orioles vs Rangers MLB Parlay: Sunday Night Baseball SGP (June 30).
Remember to bet responsibly — this is a long shot for a reason.
Orioles vs Rangers Parlay: Sunday Night Baseball SGP
- Marcus Semien Over 1.5 Total Bases (-120)
- Ryan Mountcastle Over 1.5 Total Bases (-110)
- Texas Rangers F5 -1.5 (+280)
Parlay Odds: +1113 (FanDuel)
Marcus Semien
Over 1.5 Total Bases (-120)
It's no secret that Marcus Semien has been awful lately. He's on a terrible skid at the plate, going three for his last 32. In the entire month of June, he's gone 22-for-104.
He’s also five for his last 54, which is outrageously alarming for a player of his magnitude. But I think the tide will begin to turn tonight.
Semien has a great matchup against Irvin, whom he's 5-for-13 against lifetime. It's only a matter of time before the slump ends, and the market is listing him at a -120 price for this prop for a reason.
Ryan Mountcastle
Over 1.5 Total Bases (-110)
Mountcastle draws a fantastic matchup against Heaney on Sunday night. The Baltimore slugger is 4-for-8 against Heaney lifetime with two home runs and five RBIs.
Although the sample size is small, it's something that shouldn't go unnoticed. Mountcastle mashes left-handed pitching, and he's typically one of my favorite players to target in these situations.
A price of -110 is too cheap, and it juices the SGP quite nicely. Expect at least one extra-base hit from Mountcastle tonight.
Texas Rangers
F5 -1.5 (+280)
The third and final leg of the SGP is where we'll be taking the biggest risk.
Although the Rangers are on this six-game losing streak, I really do like the matchup tonight against Irvin. Plus, things can't get much worse.
I don't necessarily trust that Heaney can hold a lead in the early going, but the Texas offense should have ample opportunity to hang a crooked number on the board.
It should be a warm night in Baltimore, where the baseball typically carries, so I like the matchup for the Rangers' right-handed hitters.
There's no way I'm going to rely on the Rangers' bullpen to preserve a late lead, so I thought it would be a good idea to take a bit of a risk and lay the -1.5 run line for Texas in the first five innings.
The offense is far too good to continue its struggles, and I really believe a turnaround is on the horizon.
Semien, Adolis Garcia and Corey Seager are having seasons to forget, but it's only a matter of time before they all begin to start hitting.
