MLB odds, lines, picks: Advanced computer model includes the Astros in parlay for Monday, August 19 that would pay more than 8-1

At the start of August, the New York Mets appeared to be gearing up toward a playoff run after a dismal start to the 2024 MLB season. But after going 4-6 over their last 10 games, the Mets are two games out of the final NL Wild Card spot with the 2024 MLB postseason quickly approaching. The Mets (64-60) begin a three-game series at home against the Baltimore Orioles, who are tied with the best record in the AL at 73-52, with the first pitch at 7:10 p.m. ET on the Monday MLB schedule. Should you include either of these teams in your Monday MLB parlay? Meanwhile, Michael King starts for the San Diego Padres vs. Minnesota Twins after having 10 strikeouts in six scoreless innings in his last start. Should you back King and the Padres when making MLB parlay bets?

The Mets are -130 favorites (risk $130 to win $100) in the latest Mets vs. Orioles odds, while the Orioles are +110 underdogs. The over/under for total runs scored is 9. The game is one of 10 on the MLB schedule for Monday. (See up-to-date lines for every game on our MLB odds page.)
