MLB American League Betting Parlay: Tigers, Rangers Picks

The American League is gearing up for Interleague play in the coming weeks, but first things first as several AL teams will battle it out for divisional positioning in the next few days.

Two teams that have had solid starts to the year for MLB betting fans are the Tigers and Rangers who have both overachieved a bit so far thanks to solid pitching. MLB betting fans know that pitching is always a good bet and it’s an especially good bet for an MLB betting parlay.

This American League MLB betting parlay features Rich Harden and Justin Verlander, two ace-caliber righties facing inferior teams:

Detroit Tigers (Justin Verlander, R) at Oakland A’s (Dallas Braden, L), 10:0 ET

MLB Betting line: Tigers favored at -1 ½.

and

Baltimore Orioles (Jeremy Guthrie, R) at Texas Rangers (Rich Harden, R) 8:05 pm ET

Betting line: Rangers favored at -1 ½.

While the Tigers have a tough turnaround in flying all the way out to Oakland for tonight’s game, they have Verlander on the mound.

The youngster from Old Dominion is finally putting it all together and becoming a true ace before our very eyes.

While his opponent Braden has the recent perfect game to his name, Verlander has a no-hitter to his name as well. He knows that Braden has all the headlines and he’s a competitive guy who fares well in pressure situations and situations where he has something to prove. Verlander will spin a gem against an average A’s hitting team, plus the Tigers hit left-handed pitching very well with their stacked RH hitting lineup.

In the other part of the parlay, Harden will be able to put together a solid performance at home for the Rangers as well. Texas is competing for the AL West divisional lead while Baltimore is already hopelessly stuck behind Boston, Toronto, New York, and the Rays in the AL East.

They have nothing to play for and the Rangers’ big bats will hammer Guthrie at home for a big MLB betting line win for the Rangers.

The MLB betting lines will be easier to cover with two talented pitchers on the mound in this MLB betting parlay.

Harden has more K’s than IP at home and Verlander has been on fire lately suggesting big performances.

MLB betting parlay pick: Tigers and Rangers (-1 ½ each).
