My favorite MLB moneyline parlay for today features the surging Tampa Bay Rays, winners of nine of 10, and the Pittsburgh Pirates' Paul Skenes touching down in Toronto for the first time. 

It also includes the MLB-leading Atlanta Braves, who always feel like a good bet to throw into a parlay.

This one pays out at a nice +935.

Expert MLB moneyline parlay for May 23

MLB moneyline parlay leg 1: Rays (vs Yankees, 1:35 p.m. ET)

Win probability: 45.5%

I’m having a hard time understanding how the Tampa Bay Rays, who are 8-2 in their last 10 and starting Drew Rasmussen, find themselves as underdogs against the Yankees.

Rasmussen blanketed New York on April 12, pitching six scoreless innings of one-hit ball and striking out seven.

New York has lost three straight, and Yankees starter Ryan Weathers just got torched for five runs on seven hits last time out.

MLB moneyline parlay leg 2: Pirates (vs Blue Jays, 3:07 p.m. ET)

Win probability: 60.8%

Pittsburgh Pirates SP Paul Skenes is coming off an outlier performance where he was tagged for five runs in a loss to the Phillies.

He’s bounced back from two other starts where he’s allowed at least three runs this year, giving up a total of five hits, one earned run, and 12 strikeouts in that scenario.

The Jays are a light-hitting team at the moment, ranking 26th or worse in on-base, slugging and OPS, and 22nd in runs per game.

MLB moneyline parlay leg 3: Orioles (vs Tigers, 4:05 p.m. ET)

Win probability: 54.5%

The Tigers are a mess, with seven straight losses and just two wins in their last 15 overall.

Over the last week, their offense has been abysmal, ranking last in slugging percentage and OPS, and Bottom-3 in runs scored, on-base percentage and batting average — spoiling what’s been a serviceable 3.66 ERA over that span.

The Baltimore Orioles have won five of six Brandon Young starts on the year, and the righty has allowed just two earned runs in each of his last two outings.

MLB moneyline parlay leg 4: Braves (vs Nationals, 4:10 p.m. ET)

Win probability: 66.7%

The Atlanta Braves keep churning out wins, looking for their fifth straight as they visit the nation’s capital.

Grant Holmes is coming off a dynamite start, pitching six scoreless innings.

The Braves have dominated this head-to-head, going 8-2 in the last 10 and putting up at least five runs in seven of those wins.

Jake Irvin has already been beat up by the Braves once this season, taking the loss after allowing four runs on three hits, including a home run in a 9-4 defeat.

How much does this MLB moneyline parlay pay out?

The best price on today's MLB moneyline parlay, from our top-ranked baseball betting sites, sits around the +900 range, with a max payout of +935.

That means that a $10 wager on this four-leg parlay returns $103.50 ($93.50 + your original $10 stake).

MLB parlay betting FAQs & tips

Can you add player props to an MLB moneyline parlay?

Yes, you can add player props (or Over/Unders, team totals, etc.), but your wager changes from a traditional multi-game parlay to a modified same-game parlay (depending on the bet, called a SGP+, SGPx, or super parlay) that blends a standard parlay with a same/single-game parlay.

What happens to an MLB moneyline parlay if a game gets rained out?

In the event one of your parlay legs gets postponed, most sportsbook with just remove that leg from the parlay and recalculate the odds of the bet without that game (reducing the total odds).

What are the main types of parlays I can make?

  • Traditional parlays: Each leg of the parlay comes from a different game
  • Same-game parlays (SGPs): Every leg of the parlay comes from the same game.
  • SGPx/SGP+/super parlays: At least two legs of the parlay are from the same game, with the rest of the legs from different games.
