Baseball Parlay for August 31st

My "have fun" MLB parlay for today on BetRivers:

Miami Marlins/Washington Nationals Over 8.5 Runs (-112)

I like to play the over in these situational spots with pitchers facing the same team in back-to-back starts. Joan Adon had an excellent start last time around going 6 innings - 0 runs allowed. Given his career 6.41 ERA, I'll pay to see if he can do that again.

Atlanta Braves RL -1.5 (+118)

After seeing the bad Lance Lynn most of the season, we are seeing the good Lance Lynn in August with a 2.03 ERA. Can we continue that against Atlanta? I'm not so sure. Braves scored 4 with a couple homers off Lynn in July. Spencer Strider will get the call for the Braves; I'm always winning to back him.

New York Yankees Under 4.5 Runs (-141)

Not thrilled with the price, hope this play doesn't bite me. Matt Manning has been really good in his last 3 starts for the Tigers, Yankees are 26th in OPS vs. righties. Fingers crossed.
