MLB 3-leg parlay picks for August 14, 2026

When the Pittsburgh Pirates host the Boston Red Sox, all eyes will be on Jake Bennett, who’s been a bit of an enigma on the mound. While the young righty has flashes of brilliance, he hasn't consistently racked up strikeouts. With a line set at 4.5, the under is looking quite appealing. Boston's lineup is no slouch; they’ve been hitting the ball hard and often, ranking among the top in the league for contact percentage. That might limit Bennett's ability to miss bats, especially against a lineup featuring stars like Rafael Devers and Alex Verdugo. Moreover, Bennett has averaged just 2.44 strikeouts in recent outings. With the Red Sox’s disciplined approach at the plate, coupled with Pittsburgh’s shaky hitting support, it’s easy to see him struggling to reach that 4.5 mark. Expect a lower strikeout total in this matchup.

Gerrit Cole (NYY) Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-156)

As the Yankees roll into Toronto, all eyes will be on Gerrit Cole, but don’t be surprised if he struggles to reach that 5.5 strikeout threshold. Cole’s recent outings against the Blue Jays have shown a stark contrast to his usual dominance. Over the past few matchups, he’s averaged just over three strikeouts against this lineup, which has been finding ways to make contact and extend at-bats. The Jays have been disciplined at the plate, boasting one of the league's lowest strikeout rates in August. Moreover, Toronto's hitters are locked in, capitalizing on mistakes and wearing down pitchers. With the stakes high and the Jays needing every win, expect them to put pressure on Cole to pitch to contact rather than chase strikeouts. Given that this line feels inflated considering recent trends, betting on the under seems like a savvy move in this high-stakes showdown.

Hunter Feduccia Over 0.5 Hits+Runs+RBIs (-189)

As the Dodgers prepare to take on the Brewers, keep your eyes on Hunter Feduccia, who’s been quietly making waves in the lineup. With the Dodgers' potent offense lighting up opposing pitchers, Feduccia has a golden opportunity to capitalize against Milwaukee’s inconsistent rotation. The Brewers have struggled on the mound lately, allowing a staggering number of runs, which sets the stage perfectly for Feduccia to contribute. He’s shown a knack for coming through in clutch situations, and with the Dodgers' lineup often putting pressure on pitchers early, expect him to see plenty of good pitches. Historically, when the Dodgers face teams with high ERA averages like Milwaukee’s, players tend to flourish. Given his recent form and the overall rhythm of this explosive offense, betting on Feduccia to notch over 0.5 hits, runs, or RBIs feels like a savvy play that aligns perfectly with the current trends.

That is the whole read. Every leg above is our own number against the price on the board at the time we wrote this, and the price can move before you get on. Bet what you can afford to lose. If betting stops being fun, take a break.
