MLB odds, lines, picks: Advanced computer model includes Cardinals in parlay for Friday that would pay well over 8-1

NL West rivals collide Friday night as Clayton Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers travel to face the Arizona Diamondbacks. First pitch is set for 9:40 p.m. ET from Chase Field in Phoenix.

The Dodgers are -240 betting favorites (risk $240 to win $100), while Arizona returns a price of +200 in the latest Caesars Sportsbook odds for Dodgers vs. Diamondbacks. The over/under for runs scored is 9. (See up-to-date lines for every game on our MLB odds page.) That game is one of 14 on Friday's MLB schedule. 

Before making any MLB picks or parlays for Friday's games, be sure to see the predictions and betting advice from SportsLine's proven computer model.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every MLB game 10,000 times. It went 331-285 on top-rated MLB money-line picks (+357) over the past two seasons, and it finished the 2022 MLB season on a 20-14 roll. Anybody who has followed the model has seen profitable returns.

Now, the model has set its sights on the MLB schedule for Friday and has generated a three-leg parlay that would pay well over 8-1! The parlay doesn't start until 8:10 p.m. ET, giving you plenty of time to make your MLB picks.

We can tell you that one of the picks is the Rockies (-120) beat the Nationals. But the model has two other picks, including multiple underdog plays! You ABSOLUTELY need to see them before locking in any MLB picks of your own.
