MLB odds, lines, picks: Advanced computer model includes the Mets in parlay for Friday, August 9 that would pay more than 6-1

Zack Wheeler's last two starts couldn't have gone much differently. After allowing seven runs over five innings against the Yankees on July 29, the Phillies ace tossed eight shutout innings, allowing two hits with one walk and nine strikeouts in a 6-0 win over the Mariners on Sunday. The Phillies send Wheeler to the mound on Friday to begin a three-game series against the Diamondbacks in a matchup between the team with the best record in baseball (Phillies, 69-46) against the Diamondbacks (63-53), who currently hold the second NL wild card position. The Phillies vs. Diamondbacks begin at 9:40 p.m. ET on Friday, so should you include either of these teams in your MLB parlay? Meanwhile, the Padres try to extend the longest winning streak in baseball and take their sixth straight contest when they play the Marlins at 7:10 p.m. ET, making this another intriguing matchup to include in MLB parlay bets.

The Phillies are -153 favorites (risk $153 to win $100) in the latest Diamondbacks vs. Phillies odds, while the Diamondbacks are +130 underdogs. The over/under for total runs scored is 8.5. The game is one of 16 on the packed MLB schedule for Friday with the Guardians and Twins playing a doubleheader starting at 2:10 p.m. ET (See up-to-date lines for every game on our MLB odds page.)
