We're almost at the weekend, so live a little and squeeze in an MLB same-game parlay today.
I'm taking today's parlay to Coors Field, where I believe in the Orioles' ability to outlast the lowly Rox, but there are some fades and sneaky bets within my parlay, so follow along for more.
Check out my full Orioles vs Rockies same-game parlay here:

Orioles vs Rockies Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 1: Orioles ML
Let's get this one out of the way early. The O's ML at -140 vs the Rockies? One of the best teams in the AL vs the basement-dwelling Rockies at such a price? What's the catch?
Baltimore is on a skid lately, losing six of its last 10 contests while the offense flounders. The O's lineup has been subpar for two weeks now, batting for a .624 OPS over the last 14 days. That's the 27th-best mark in baseball during that span. No bueno.
Luckily, the O's face Austin Gomber Friday. He's vulnerable in the first inning (10.70 ERA), which should help Baltimore get started, and from there, the club's naturally talented roster can best the Rox over the remaining eight innings.
Orioles vs Rockies Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 2: Gomber OVER 15.5 Outs
Gomber might not be a great pitcher, but he logs innings. The left-hander has cashed this OVER prop in seven of his last 10 contests, and it's a good time to hit it again with the O's offense limping into this contest at Coors Field. Again, Gomber is a veteran, and with the Rox playing for nothing in late August, they'll let him go to save their bullpen, even if he allows upward of four or five runs.
Of course, there's also the chance he pitches a quality start or something close to it. Gomber has delivered three straight games of four earned runs or less, which is quite good for his standards. I still think the O's will win, but after Gomber gets through the sixth inning.
Orioles vs Rockies Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 3: Jimenez UNDER 1.5 Total Bases
Jimenez has been a big part of the problem with Baltimore's sputtering offense. The big outfielder has hit for a .647 OPS in 21 games since his trade to Charm City, and, as a result, isn't very reliable on his total bases props.
I'm betting the UNDER 1.5 here, firstly because it's chalked, and secondly because Jimenez has cashed the OVER in just one of his last 10 contests. If you go back further, he has cashed this OVER in just 29% of games this season. I get there's a crummy lefty on the hill, but I'll tail the trends and bet against Jimenez today.
