Toronto led yesterday’s rubber match 6-0, but thanks to a host of mistakes and careless play, Texas fought back, eventually earning an 11-7 victory.

It was the Jays' sixth loss in their last nine games. The Blue Jays will do their best to put a tough series behind them when they open the week in Miami to take on the upstart Marlins, who sit in second place in the National League East. Can a resurgent Jose Berrios get Toronto back on track as road favorites? I break down the MLB odds and bring you my best bet in MLB picks and predictions for Blue Jays vs. Marlins. Blue Jays vs Marlins odds Blue Jays vs Marlins predictions Despite the rain cloud hanging over this Toronto Blue Jays season, one of the bright spots has undoubtedly been the turnaround of starting pitcher Jose Berrios. The Blue Jays right-hander was coming off the worst season of his career, recording as 5.11 expected ERA while surrendering a .275 expected batting average, and a .466 expected slugging percentage. All of those numbers ranked in the Bottom 10% in MLB while also having the lowest strikeout rate since his rookie season. After a slow start to 2023, many were wondering if we were in for more of the same. But Berrios has certainly changed that narrative. The right-hander has been controlling his sinker much better, allowing him to set hitters up with a solid slurve. As a result, he has a 2.27 ERA and is limiting opponents to a .217 batting average over his last 12 starts. His latest was arguably the most impressive, shutting out a strong Baltimore Orioles lineup on just three hits over 7 2/3 innings. He is also giving the Jays great length, averaging more than six innings per start. Now, his strikeout numbers are probably not where he would like at just 7.9 per nine innings, but that length means there is still some value in what is a low strikeout total of 4.5 against the Marlins. Berrios is striking out 21.7% of batters and is facing nearly 25 batters per start, working out to roughly 5.5 strikeouts per start. The Marlins are a solid team when it comes to keeping the strikeouts down with the 11th-lowest K-rate when facing right-handed batters (22.4%). And despite their success this season, the Fish rank 23rd in OPS and 22nd in wRC+ when facing right-handed pitching this season. That means another lengthy start for Berrios should be in the cards. I like him to work deep into another ball game and rack up at least five strikeouts, something he's accomplished in nine of his 14 outings. My best bet: Jose Berrios Over 4.5 strikeouts (-120 at SIA) Blue Jays vs Marlins same-game parlay Jose Berrios Over 4.5 Ks Berrios Over 17.5 outs Whit Merrifield Over 0.5 SB We start this same-game parlay with Berrios to go Over his strikeout number. And part of the reason I like the Over on his strikeout total is that I also like him to pitch deep into this ball game, so adding the Over on his outs recorded prop at 17.5 seems like a no-brainer. Berrios has been a very reliable innings eater for the Blue Jays since the end of April, completing at least 5 1/3 innings in 11 consecutive starts and is averaging a touch over 6 1/3 innings pitched over that span. He has completed at least six innings in...

And when you throw the NBA Draft betting odds into the mix, you’ve got yourself an entertaining evening on par with giant shape-shifting robots punching each other in the face. I look at the prop markets and give my best NBA Draft free betting picks for June 22. Roll out! NBA Draft picks and predictions Draft Position: Over/Under odds Player Draft position Over Draft position Under Ausar Thompson Over 5.5 (-340) Under 5.5 (+240) Anthony Black Over 8.5 (+200) Under 8.5 (-275) Bilal Coulibaly Over 11.5 (+110) Under 11.5 (-140) Cam Whitmore Over 5.5 (+240) Under 5.5 (-340) Jarace Walker Over 6.5 (-175) Under 6.5 (+140) Odds courtesy of DraftKings as of June 19, 2023 . Coulibaly is the Robin to Wembanyama’s Batman, also coming out of French club Metropolitans 92. So, NBA scouts — meaning to or not — have seen his tape. The 6-foot-8 wing can scratch his knee standing up straight with a 7-foot-2 wingspan. He makes an impact on both ends of the floor, with length, smarts, and hustle on defense and aggressive athleticism getting to the paint on offense. He’s only 18 years old and sashimi-levels of raw, but there’s a lot of pre-draft hype building around Coulibaly. Mock drafts have him pegged between Utah at No. 9 and Atlanta at No. 15, with the Jazz reportedly visiting him in France twice this spring. And should Coulibaly still be there at pick No. 10, Dallas would swoon over his skill set and jump at the chance to complement the offensive fireworks of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving with a defensive-minded wing. You can get Coulibaly to go Top 10 at +220 odds atDraftKings. While the draft position market is parked at a consensus total of 11.5 for Coulibaly, the price varies from book to book.FanDuelandDraftKingsare priced at -132 and -140, respectively, on the Under and some offshores are as far as -150 now.

Directors at PointsBet are actively considering DraftKings’ offer and expect to draft a formal proposal regarding a potential transaction. The group anticipates entering into negotiations with DraftKings on the possible sale and will ask shareholders to vote on the issue on June 30. Boston-based DraftKings is the second-largest sportsbook in America in terms of market share, while PointsBet is ranked seventh. FanDuel is the No. 1 operator in the U.S. with a 50% share. PointsBet has online betting sites in 14 states, including Colorado, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. A deal for DraftKings would bolster the company’s customer acquisition strategy while hampering Fanatics’ growth as an operator in a competitive market. DraftKings and Fanatics have displayed interest in PointsBet’s U.S. business following encouraging returns for the sportsbook. PointsBet posted $120 million in revenue for the six months ending December 31, 2022 — a 28% increase year-over-year. The company reported a total sports betting handle of $2.2 billion in H1 FY2023, up from $1.6 billion in H1 FY2022. PointsBet is still aiming toward profitability with a net loss after tax of $110 million in H1 FY2023, a 19% uptick year-over-year. Despite the losses, PointsBet’s U.S. assets present a unique opportunity for a sports betting operator looking to expand its reach.

There is a method to the same-game parlay madness afflicting sports betting sites, and part of it is simply servicing demand, according to several operators in Ontario.

There is a method to the same-game parlay madness afflicting sports betting sites, and part of it is simply servicing demand, according to several operators in Ontario. One panel at last week’s Canadian Gaming Summit prompted a defence of the same-game parlay (SGP), a product described as “high margin” because players lose them more often than they do straight bets. Ontario sports betting is rife with SGPs, even if they go by another name. One of the reasons why is that people want them. “For us, people love betting same-game parlays,” said Kris Abbott, the Canadian country manager for Betano. “So it's really a reply to the demand. I'm never an advocate for betting parlays, but, if people enjoy it, go for it.” Ante up The same-game parlay has indeed almost become something like table stakes for operators of sports betting sites, particularly those who cater to the most casual of players. The capability to let people bet on multiple outcomes in one game has proven to be alluring to bettors, and profitable for operators. Sportsbook technology provider Kambi Group PLC noted in February that around 30% of all pregame bets on the last NFL season with its partners (such as BetRivers and Unibet) were placed via its “Bet Builder” product, which powers same and multi-game parlays. Those table stakes are yielding significant returns for operators, who were already winning around 20% to 30% of parlays in general.As of the end of May, New Jersey sportsbooks reported winning almost $215 million from approximately $1.1 billion in parlays during the year, or a hold of 19.7%. Meanwhile, the win percentage for all completed events during the year was less than half that, at 8.5%. Exactly how much of those winnings are same-game parlays is not disclosed, but it’s probably safe to say it was a fair amount. The promotion of SGPs by operators and their comments about their profitability to shareholders suggests as much. According to an investor presentation, FanDuel saw 2.8 million in same-game parlay bets on Super LVI in 2022 and had around four out of five of its customers that year place an SGP. The operator sees an appetite for the SGP in Ontario, too, as the FanDuel app in the province has several at the ready on its home page. On Monday, for instance, the bookmaker had several already manufactured for the day’s baseball action. “I think they're very sustainable,” said Conor Murray, vice president of marketing at FanDuel, when asked about the SGP craze at the gaming summit. “What's left out of the 20% to 30% is the fact that the stake is way, way lower. Like when you look at moneyline bets, you have people placing $100 or $200. These [SGPs] are typically $5, $10 bets.” They don't always hit Murray said the reason SGPs are so compelling (in addition to the promise of a heftier payout) is the entertainment they provide, as bettors will have to track multiple outcomes during a single game. “It's an incredibly complex product to build,” Murray added. “There's a lot of volatility with it. And part of that is that the margin needs to be higher.” The panel, moderated by Steve McAllister, the editor-in-chief of Gaming News Canada, was about new media and the “intersection” of sports betting and content. A good amount of sports betting content these days has to do with same-game parlays, although...

Toronto has now scored three runs or fewer in each of its last four games. Check out our free MLB picks and predictions for Blue Jays vs. Rangers to learn more ahead of this June 18 matchup. Blue Jays vs Rangers odds Blue Jays vs Rangers predictions There were plenty of silver linings for the Blue Jays in yesterday’s loss — not least, the multi-hit days for George Springer, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and Daulton Varsho — and that bodes well heading into a showdown with Rangers ace Jon Gray, who’s among the AL ERA leaders. While Gray has been locked in over his past six outings (5-1, 0.84 ERA), he’s been dealing with a blister that forced him to miss his last start. No IL stint for the right-hander is good news for the Rangers, but it’s fair to wonder whether his rhythm might be a little off after the extra rest days. Gray last pitched on June 7. Guerrero Jr. and Varsho have had some success against Gray, admittedly on a small sample size, and I see the visitors being aggressive out of the gates — an approach that led to four first-inning hits yesterday. I also like Chris Bassitt to hold his own against this Texas line-up — and there are some positive numbers to support that, with his arsenal of pitches flummoxing hitters. Adolis Garcia and Nathaniel Lowe are a combined 0-for-20 against Bassitt, while Corey Seager and Marcus Semien are also hitless in three at-bats apiece. If the Rangers were firing on all cylinders offensively, it might be a different story — but they’ve been in a rough patch in June. I like these plus odds for the Blue Jays to snatch the series on the road here. My best bet: Blue Jays moneyline (+111 at SIA) Blue Jays vs Rangers same-game parlay Blue Jays ML Guerrero Jr. Over 1.5 Bases Gray Over 4.5 Ks I’ve already made the case for Toronto to edge this series decider, and I like Guerrero Jr. to be front and center. His struggles at the plate have been well documented, but he went 2-for-3 yesterday after a two-hit night in Baltimore on Thursday. With a pair of hits in five at-bats against Gray, including a double, this is a matchup that the Blue Jays slugger can dominate. Vladdy only has one HR to his name since May 23, but he’ll be fresh after a DH assignment yesterday. Gray’s ability to pitch deep into games keeps the strikeout prop on the table, and he’s hit the Over on 4.5 Ks in his last six starts. Even if the Rangers take a cautious approach with his pitch count this afternoon, Gray has thrived against righties (32 Ks, .185 average) — and that’s what he’s likely to see at the top of the Toronto line-up, especially with Brandon Belt on the IL.

The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox will conclude a series on Sunday Night Baseball for the second week in a row. These two will play a doubleheader today after a rain-out yesterday and each played a mid-week series in between its series from last weekend before facing one another again. The closest of the primetime duels prompted Red Sox manager Alex Cora to semi-jokingly tell the media he thought the series was getting too much attention. Boston will enter today with a 3-1 season-long advantage over New York; that mark could be evened or decisive by the night's end. Read on for my best bet and full MLB picks and predictions for Red Sox vs. Yankees below. Yankees vs Red Sox odds Yankees vs Red Sox predictions Here's what we have tonight: A team — albeit a small sample — that has dominated the other this season, a steadily-improving pitcher taking on a steadily regressing one, and an offense that scores the second-most runs in baseball at home against one still missing its most prominent star in the lineup. Luis Severino will take the mound for the pinstripes tonight, and the struggles of his season are just impossible to look past. This handicap is a fade of him just as much as anything. Severino has one of the worst expected ERAs in baseball at 6.35. He's given up 4+ runs in three consecutive starts and has mainly been troubled by the hard-hit ball. That's a problem facing this Boston Red Sox team with plenty of hard hitters in its lineup. Boston isn't a team that ranks tremendously high in barrel rate or exit velocity, but when you pull back the curtain, you see more of the full story. The BoSox rank in the Top 10 in the expected slugging, wOBA, and batting average; only five other teams in baseball can claim that. And as I've mentioned, this offense gears up in Fenway and averages an entire run higher there. You can pick which Severino metrics you want to target; they're all bad. However, the barrel and whiff rates in the Bottom 20% of baseball are particularly troubling. The Red Sox have shown they are both a good-hitting and unlucky team. That's a bad combo for Severino. On the other side, I mentioned Brayan Bello steadily building over his last few starts, and one of the best examples of that was his most recent. It came against this Yankees team, where he allowed just two earned runs over seven innings. You could make the case it was his best start of the season, and even a skeptic would have to say he's improving. "The kid is growing up," Cora said after that last start. It's easy to see and I expect more of the same tonight. This Yankees lineup continues to suffer with the void left by Aaron Judge's absence. As long as Bello's command is in check, he should be able to work through this lineup comfortably before handing things off to a well-rested bullpen. It's a juicy price, but it's the best bet in tonight's game. I priced them at -155 this evening, which gives me a comfortable edge. My best bet: Red Sox moneyline (-137 at BetRivers) Yankees vs Red Sox same-game parlay Red Sox ML Red Sox first-inning 3-way ML Our same-game parlay tonight couldn't be simpler, and at the price point, it's pretty attractive. The theme today has been fading Luis Severino. His time in the starting rotation for the Yankees is almost enough, and tonight could solidify that. One of the most significant iss...

The East-leading Connecticut Sun head West on Sunday for a matchup against the Los Angeles Sparks. While both teams are still figuring things out after major offseason changes, the Sun’s physical interior play has them cruising through the early-season schedule. The Sparks will need big games from Nneka and Chiney Ogwumike as well as Dearica Hamby to hold off the Sun from dominating them in the paint. Our WNBA picks and predictions for Sun vs. Sparks believe Connecticut will prove too much for this banged-up Sparks team. Sun vs Sparks best odds Sun vs Sparks picks and predictions It’s always intriguing to watch a head coach square off against their former team, as is the case Sunday with Curt Miller leading the Los Angeles Sparks against the Connecticut Sun. Miller deserves a ton of credit for maximizing the Sun roster, and new head coach Stephanie White hasn't been forced to make any dramatic changes to their style of play. Even though they lost Jonquel Jones, the Sun haven’t missed a beat. They don’t shoot many threes, instead, they win through an incredible interior offense led by Alyssa Thomas and Brionna Jones. Thomas is one of the toughest players in the WNBA, as well as one of the most skilled playmakers at her position. Jones, meanwhile, plays a simple game but an effective one. She eats up space inside, gets every garbage bucket and tip in, plays with force, and works hard as a rim runner in transition. If she seals her opponent near the basket, it’s over, because she has soft hands that allow her to catch and finish even wayward passes with ease. Dearica Hamby and Jones might be the same height at 6-foot-3 but Jones has more than 20 pounds on Hamby. She’ll struggle to keep Jones from sealing and floating her shots in off the glass. The Sun turn the math in their favor by getting to the line a lot and feasting on the offensive glass, but DeWanna Bonner is also a fantastic perimeter player. She slithers around screens for open triples and should prove difficult to cover for the Spark’s depleted backcourt. The Sparks have been decimated by injury, making it hard for them to find a consistently high level of play. It has also opened the doors for certain players like Jordin Canada, who has been having a breakout season, but who had to play all 40 minutes in the Sparks' previous against the Lynx. That’s not sustainable and is indicative of how thin the Sparks are right now. With both Nia Clouden and Lexie Brown downgraded to out for Sunday’s game, the burden on Canada’s shoulders isn’t getting any lighter. But most troubling for the Sparks has been their inconsistency. They have some good wins but also some truly terrible losses on their early-season resume, so it’s hard to get a feel for how good this team is. Miller has injected a sense of grit and toughness, but injuries have derailed a full actualization of what this team might be. The Sun, by contrast, are a well-oiled machine, know exactly how they want to play, and can rely on their core group to produce every night. Homecourt advantage is worth around two points in the 40-minute WNBA game, so with the Sparks at -3, oddsmakers are suggesting (all things being equal) the Sun are five points better than L.A. That might be true of a fully realized Sparks squad, but L.A. is far too banged up and inconsistent t...

Call 1-800-GAMBLER Favorites to win 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup USA (+250) All eyes are on the Americans as they look to complete the first World Cup three-peat after getting the job done as favorites in 2015 and 2019. However, they'll have to do so under new guidance (Vlatko Andonovski) after Jill Ellis stepped down late in 2019. The USWNT is in Group E with Vietnam, Portugal, and 2019 finalists Netherlands. England (+350) England is second on the board (and a co-favorite at some books) after winning the UEFA Women's EURO over Germany in 2022. That type of success has not come for them here at the World Cup, though, with their best finish being a bronze medal in 2015. Either way, they're on the shortlist of contenders. Spain (+650) Despite entering as the favorites, Spain fell well short at EURO 2022, losing 2-1 to England in extra time in the quarterfinals. However, they were missing Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putella due to injury. If she's back for the World Cup, Spain is assuredly one of the teams to beat.

Favorites to win the 2023 Heisman Trophy Caleb Williams (+400) Caleb Williams impressed at nearly every stop last season and was rewarded as USC's first Heisman Trophy winner since Matt Leinart in 2004. With one year remaining before he can enter the NFL Draft, Williams is favored to repeat as Heisman — something that hasn't been done since Archie Griffin in 1974-75. His 2022 counting stats(4,919 total yards, 52 total touchdowns, five interceptions) will be tough to beat but anything close to that combined with what hopes to be a better, more well-rounded USC team next season should have him right back in the mix. Drake Maye (+1,000) While many expected Caleb Williams to thrive in Lincoln Riley's offense, Drake Maye lighting up the ACC was much more surprising. The 6-foot-4 QB threw for 4,321 yards with 38 TDs and just seven INTs in UNC's high-flying offense, but he also added nearly 700 yards and seven TDs on the ground... in his first year as a starter. With a year of experience under his belt, Maye will surely be able to build on last year's campaign. As such, it's no surprise to see him in the mix at open. Jordan Travis (+1,100) A team looking to take a big step forward in 2023 is Florida State and leading that offense is senior quarterback Jordan Travis. He threw for 3,214 yards and 24 TDs against just five interceptions last season while adding seven scores and more than 400 yards on the ground. If the Seminoles meet — or potentially exceed — expectations this season, Travis will surely get a ton of national attention.

We break down the two powerhouses and more in our full Big Ten title odds below. Odds to win the Big Ten championship Favorites to win the Big Ten championship Ohio State Buckeyes (+170) The Ohio State Buckeyes made quick work of the conference schedule in 2022... that was until they fell to Michigan again, keeping them out of the Big Ten title game for the second year in a row. C.J. Stroud may be gone, but with Ryan Day on the sideline, Biletnikoff-winning wideout Marvin Harrison Jr. returning, and Kyle McCord expected to take over under center, there's little concern about this offense. Whether they can stop the physical Wolverines run game remains to be seen and is likely the deciding factor for who comes out of the Big Ten East in 2023. Michigan Wolverines (+190) The Michigan Wolverines, meanwhile, are eyeing a third straight conference championship after running the table in Big Ten play last season — including a 43-22 win over Purdue in the title game. Physicality and a dominant run game have allowed them to dominate Ohio State each of the last two years, and with so much of last year's core still intact, there may be value in backing them at this price. Penn State Nittany Lions (+530) The best of the rest is expected to be the Penn State Nittany Lions, who dominated just about everyone they played outside of their losses to OSU and Michigan last season. There's a ton of buzz surrounding quarterback Drew Allar and with another dominant defense expected in 2023, they could be a feisty challenger to the conference giants mentioned above.

His 2014 Open Championship victory came right here at Royal Liverpool, and while he remains winless at the majors since 2014, he's given himself a number of great chances — look no further than last year's final round.

The Minnesota Lynx have been on a bit of a heater, even if they are still mired at the bottom of the WNBA standings. The Las Vegas Aces have been enjoying the inverse reality, regularly falling short of massive spreads yet sitting atop the league by a growing margin. Expecting the Lynx to pull off an upset tonight might be too ambitious, but can they at least keep it competitive? Find out in my WNBA betting picks below. Lynx vs Aces best odds Lynx vs Aces picks and predictions The Minnesota Lynx started the season 0-4 against the spread before beating the spread in five of its last six. The Lynx have even won three of their last four games outright. It’s as if they do not realize the stakes of charging into the lottery this season. Of course, the players and the coaches don’t care about next year’s rookies. Fifth-year veteran forward Napheesa Collier has made that particularly clear lately. She began the season averaging just 15 points in the first three games. Not coincidentally, Minnesota fell short of the spread in those three games by an average of more than nine points. In her last five games, Collier has averaged 24.8 points, in part by getting to the free throw line 8.8 times per game and shooting better than 84% once there. Again... not coincidentally, the Lynx covered the spread in four of those games and by an average of nearly seven points. Collier’s points prop tonight is an entirely reasonable 20.5. She has cleared that in five of her last seven games, and the two where she fell short were both 17-point outings. Something shifted for the veteran a week into the season, and once it did, no one has been able to check her. Yes, the Las Vegas Aces have one of the league’s best defenses, entering Sunday at No. 2 in defensive rating at 92.5, just tenths behind the Mystics. Yes, they give up the fewest offensive rebounds in the league, part of Collier’s success with two in each of the last four games. And yes, Las Vegas sends its opponents to the free throw line less often than anyone else in the league, giving up just 18.1 attempts per 100 possessions. But plenty of players are finding points against the Aces. Ezi Magbegor scored 23 against Las Vegas this week, Marina Mabrey scored 20 last Sunday, and DeWanna Bonner cracked open a delightful 41 just 10 days ago. Still, within Las Vegas’s last five games, Rebecca Allen poured in 22 points in fewer than 21 minutes off the bench, and Kelsey Mitchell matched those 22 points when the Fever pushed the Aces deep into the fourth quarter. Las Vegas gives up points to efficient scorers, and no one is as consistently efficient as Collier right now.

The Toronto Blue Jays and the Texas Rangers play the middle contest of a three-game series at Globe Life Field in Arlington on Saturday afternoon. The Blue Jays started off the series on a solid note, posting a 2-1 win on Friday night, as Danny Jansen, a.k.a. The Great Janbino, came through with a two-run homer to provide all the offense the team needed. The Rangers have dropped two in a row, five of the past six, and seven of the previous nine games, but Texas still finds itself 42-27 and 3.5 games clear of the second-place Houston Astros and Los Angeles Angels. Can the Blue Jays hold down the powerful Rangers again, or will Texas two-step its way to a much-needed victory? We’ll discuss in our MLB picks and predictions for Blue Jays vs. Rangers on June 17. Blue Jays vs Rangers odds Blue Jays vs Rangers predictions The demotion of Alek Manoah to the minors has left a void in the Blue Jays rotation, and the team is expected to roll with an opener and long relief option in a bullpen game. Manoah is working on his mechanics and ironing things out at Class A Dunedin, so he is a ways from returning, and Hyun-Jin Ryu is not expected back until after the All-Star break. The Rangers know who they’re rolling with, and it’s RHP Dane Dunning, who has managed a 5-1 record with a 2.76 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 58 2/3 innings across seven starts and eight relief appearances. Since moving to the rotation in early May, Dunning posted a 3.27 ERA, with a lot of that damage coming in the past two starts in June. He has allowed just three homers all season, but all of them came in a shaky win against the St. Louis Cardinals on June 6. He then struggled with five walks issued last time out against the Los Angeles Angels in a no-decision. Still, I like the Texas offense to bounce back. This team leads the majors with 419 runs scored, and is second in the league in run differential with a gaudy plus-142 mark. It won’t be held down again, although the Toronto bullpen is solid with a 3.78 ERA overall. The Rangers will post a lot more than just a single run, however. Look for the Rangers to bounce back in the middle game, and we should see a little more scoring. But with a wind blowing in from right field across the diamond, that should mitigate things somewhat. My best bet: Rangers moneyline (-120 at PointsBet) Not intended for use in MA. Affiliate Disclosure: Covers may receive advertising commissions for visits to a sportsbook or betting site. Blue Jays vs Rangers moneyline and Over/Under analysis The Blue Jays picked up a win Friday, and Toronto is now a perfect 4-for-4 in the past four tries against AL West foes. The Jays are also a solid 6-2 in the previous eight games on the road. While that’s all well and good, the pitching is a little unsettled for Toronto for Saturday. That’s good news for a Texas team which is 8-1 in the past nine in Game 2s, while cashing in 10 of the past 14 following a loss. And, for what it’s worth, Texas is also 8-0 in the past eight Saturday games. The Blue Jays have seen the total go low at a 12-5-1 clip in the past 18 games overall, while cashing in six of the past eight on the road. While the Over has been the rule for Texas most of the season, the Under cashed in the series opener. Bet with one of Canada’s best Looking to bet on some Jays action?

Game 2 between the San Francisco Giants (37-32) and Los Angeles Dodgers (39-31) gets underway Saturday night in Southern California. Fans will hope it’s as exciting as a thrilling Game 1, where the Giants nabbed a 7-5 victory in 11 innings despite being no-hit by Dodgers rookie Emmet Sheehan for six innings. Looking at MLB odds, the Dodgers are favored to get back in the win column for Game 2. They send yet another impressive rookie to the mound in Bobby Miller, and I’m targeting one of his props for tonight’s best bet. Read on for my best bet and full MLB picks and predictions for the Giants vs. Dodgers on Saturday, June 17. Giants vs Dodgers odds Giants vs Dodgers predictions Bobby Miller has a fantastic arsenal of pitches. He throws his fastball about half the time (49.2%) and it’s a really good one, averaging 98.8 mph to rank in the 98th percentile. He complements that with a slider, curveball, and changeup, which are all positive value pitches, and the slider is particularly deadly. FanGraphs’ Stuff+ metric, which attempts to quantify the value of a pitcher's “stuff” by taking into account things like velocity, spin rate, and movement, rates him 14th among starters. That’s a very impressive number, ahead of notable names like Dylan Cease (15th), Shane McClanahan (19th), and Zack Wheeler (22nd). His slider is the star of the show with a 127Pitching+ (a combination of Stuff+ and Location+) that ranks fourth among starters. He faces a Giants lineup that has been middle-of-the-road against right-handed pitching lately, ranking 17th in wRC+ (101) and 16th in wOBA (.319) across the last 10 days. I like everything I see about Miller’s profile, as he appears to be the real deal and his team will need to lean on him while it deals with numerous starting pitcher injuries. They’re going to rely on him to effectively pitch deep into games, as manager Dave Roberts has stated that there will be no innings limit for the rookie. His outs recorded prop is set at 17.5 and currently you can find -110 odds on either side. He’s lasted exactly six innings (18 outs) in each of his last three starts, cashing the Over in every appearance since his debut. The Dodgers have a disaster of a bullpen (4.90 ERA — second-worst in the MLB) that lost them Game 1 despite getting six no-hit innings from a debuting rookie starting pitcher. Roberts should be in no hurry to get to his bullpen and ride Miller’s hot hand for as long as it lasts. I’ll be betting on Miller to make it through six innings in Game 2 and I’d play it up to -135 odds. My best bet: Bobby Miller Over 17.5 outs recorded (-110) Giants vs Dodgers same-game parlay Miller Over 17.5 Outs (-115) Miller Over 5.5 Strikeouts (-140) Martinez Over 1.5 Total Bases (+135) We’ll be using my best bet for the first leg of this SGP. I’ve outlined above why I like the play and I think the odds are generous. The second leg will feature Miller to also go Over 5.5 strikeouts. This is a correlated play, as the longer Miller lasts in the game, the more opportunities he’ll get to punch out Giants. You have to pay -140 on this prop and that’s one of the reasons I’m not using it as a single bet, but it’s still a strong look when targeting an SGP that has correlation. He’s generated a superb 26.4% K-rate thus far in the Big Leagues and has a decent 11.8% swinging strike rate. The Giants have the fourth-highest K-rate (24.9%) agai...

The Dallas Wings are staking their claim as one of the WNBA’s emerging teams and they’ll try to climb back above .500 this afternoon against the struggling Seattle Storm. While the Wings didn’t show much of their upside in Wednesday’s miserable 79-61 loss to the Los Angeles Sparks, Dallas had won its prior five home games this season behind the sharpshooting duo of Satou Sabally and Arike Ogunbowale.

The Dallas Wings are staking their claim as one of the WNBA’s emerging teams and they’ll try to climb back above .500 this afternoon against the struggling Seattle Storm. While the Wings didn’t show much of their upside in Wednesday’s miserable 79-61 loss to the Los Angeles Sparks, Dallas had won its prior five home games this season behind the sharpshooting duo of Satou Sabally and Arike Ogunbowale. The Storm offense fared little better than the Wings last time out in an ugly 96-63 blowout against the unstoppable Las Vegas Aces, leaving Seattle 2-7 in a challenging start to the post-Breanna Stewart era. Take a closer look at this Western Conference showdown in our free Storm vs Wings WNBA picks and predictions for June 17. Storm vs Wings best odds Storm vs Wings picks and predictions For any team to even make the Aces sweat in the West, a high-powered offense is essential — and, on their best nights, the Wings can turn it on at that end of the floor. With Satou Sabally healthy and Arike Ogunbowale among the league’s top scorers, Dallas feels like a team that’s more dangerous than a 5-5 record suggests, and the Storm will have their hands full here trying to keep up with the hosts’ fast pace. There should be some easy pickings for Dallas this afternoon against a Storm defense that gave up 96 points on Thursday. The props for both of the Wings’ primary scorers are attractive but I’m leaning towards Ogunbowale, who scored 26 points against Seattle earlier this year and is averaging a career-high 37 minutes a night. Ogunbowale was out of sync on Wednesday in a cold 5-for-16 shooting night, but she can heat up in a hurry, as she showed in a 35-point outburst against the Phoenix Mercury last week. Free from L.A.’s swarming D, she’s now facing a Storm defense that can’t throw the same level of defensive stoppers at her. The Storm are allowing opponents to shoot 46% from the field this season (the worst mark in the WNBA) and I see that paving the way for Ogunbowale to deliver a lights-out performance. My best bet: Arike Ogunbowale Over 22.5 points (-115 at bet365) Not intended for use in MA.

Call 1-800-GAMBLER Storm vs Wings spread and Over/Under analysis The Wings have made College Park Center a tough place for opposing teams this season and they enter as WNBA odds favorites to get the W here and deepen the Storm’s misery. Still, it’s been tricky to peg which version of this Dallas team will show up this month — the hosts started June with two losses, rebounded with a pair of wins, and now enter today’s matchup on the heels of consecutive setbacks. While the Ogunbowale and Sabally one-two punch has been the driving force for the Wings (3-6-1 ATS), they’re getting contributions from their other starters too, with Kalani Brown dropping 21 points against the Sparks and Natasha Howard averaging 15 points a game.

Prop bet #1: James in jeopardy Just when it looked like the Oakland A's were rolling, they have lost three in a row and send James Kaprielian to the mound for today's showdown with the Phillies. The righty has a 6.89 ERA with an OBA of .279 in 49 2/3 innings this year. Things won't get any better w hen Kaprielian comes out of the game, since the A's bullpen ranks dead-last in the majors with a 5.73 ERA and a 1.56 WHIP. That's music to the ears of a Phillies lineup that has been mashing lately. Nick Castellanos leads... Prop bet #1: James in jeopardy Just when it looked like the Oakland A's were rolling, they have lost three in a row and send James Kaprielian to the mound for today's showdown with the Phillies. The righty has a 6.89 ERA with an OBA of .279 in 49 2/3 innings this year. Things won't get any better w hen Kaprielian comes out of the game, since the A's bullpen ranks dead-last in the majors with a 5.73 ERA and a 1.56 WHIP. That's music to the ears of a Phillies lineup that has been mashing lately. Nick Castellanos leads Philadelphia with a .315 batting average and has been on fire this month, batting .403. Kaprielian doesn't actually get hit particularly hard but he tends to give up plenty of contact, which is bad news against a hitter like Castellanos. The Phillies outfielder is tied for eighth in the majors with 55 singles, and has picked up at least one single in five of his last six games. Back Castellanos to go Over 0.5 on his singles today at close to even money. Nick Castellanos prop : Over 0.5 singles (+100) Prop bet #2: Kell-Mell Mitch Keller is enjoying a breakout season with the Pirates, going 8-2 with a 3.41 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP through 14 starts. Bizarrely enough, Keller had a brutal performance against the A's last week, allowing five runs and striking out just one batter before getting the hook midway through the sixth inning. However, he bounced back with a stellar performance against the Mets on Sunday, where he allowed just a pair of hits and fanned seven batters through seven innings. Today, Keller faces off against a Brewers lineup that has been among the worst in the majors. Milwaukee is 25th in the majors in OPS (.682), with that number ticking down to .663 this month. They are also 24th in the majors in whiff rate while ranking second-last in strikeout rate. With Keller fanning at least seven batters in eight of his last nine starts, take the Over 6.5 on his strikeouts total today. Mitch Keller prop : Over 6.5 strikeouts (+102) Prop bet #3: Mr. Greene with the fastball in Minute Maid Park Has Hunter Greene finally figured it out? The 23-year-old is now four years removed from Tommy John surgery, and while his ERA sits at a middling 4.01, he's been mowing down hitters. Greene is coming off a nine-strikeout performance against the Cardinals and has fanned at least eight batters in five-straight starts. He even racked up strikeouts in poor performances against the Rockies at Coors Field — fanning eight Colorado batters through just four innings — and against the Yankees, as he hit double-digits in Ks against New York. Greene is in the top fifth percentile in fastball velocity, the Top 10th percentile in strikeout rate, and the Top 15th percentile in whiff rate. The 6-foot-5 righty is one of the hardest throwers in the game, with his heater averaging 98.6 mph, and his changeup at 91.6 mph. Greene and the Reds face off against an underachieving Houston Astros squad today. The defending World Series champs are having one of their worst offensive seasons in recent memory, ranking just 22nd in the majors in OPS (.711), with that number dropping to .661 over the last week. The 'Stros don't strike out a ton (seventh-lowest strikeout rate in the majors), but they swing at a lot of pitches and are 24th in chase rate. Greene would be second in the majors in strikeouts per nine innings (13.0) if he qualified (he's fewer than three innings away), and th...

The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox clashed last weekend, and they're doing it all again this weekend, this time at Fenway Park. The Red Sox took the first game in this three-game set last night, and MLB betting lines opened with them as -135 favorites for today. Clarke Schmidt will take the pill for the Yankees, while the BoSox will respond with Brayan Bello. The two pitchers started against each other last Sunday, with Boston winning 3-2. Here are my best free Yankees vs. Red Sox MLB picks and predictions for June 17. Yankees vs Red Sox odds Yankees vs Red Sox predictions Adam Duvall mashed 38 homers in 2021 but had an injury-plagued 2022 campaign, and was aiming for a bounce-back year after signing with the Red Sox. The power-hitting outfielder got off to a terrific start to this season, slashing .455/.514/1.030 through the first eight games of the year. Unfortunately, he injured his wrist diving for a ball and missed almost two months of action. Duvall returned to the lineup on June 9, and while he struggled in his first few games back, he seems to be rounding into form after cracking two doubles in the last three contests. Clarke Schmidt has struggled for the Yankees this season, pitching to a 4.70 ERA with a 1.40 WHIP through 14 starts. The right-hander is in the Bottom 20th percentile in hard hit rate while sitting in the Bottom 10th percentile in average exit velocity. With the betting models projecting Duvall to hit about 2.8 total bases today, back the Over 1.5 at plus money. My best bet: Duvall Over 1.5 total bases (+140) Yankees vs Red Sox same-game parlay Adam Duvall Over 1.5 total bases Masataka Yoshida Over 0.5 hits Brayan Bello Under 2.5 earned runs Since I'm betting on Schmidt to get hit hard by Duvall, let's fade him against another Red Sox hitter as well. Schmidt is allowing lefties to bat .313, which is bad news against Boston outfielder Masataka Yoshida. The former Japanese League star is batting .309 in his first season in the majors and snapped out of a mini-slump last night by going 4-for-4 at the plate. Brayan Bello looked sharp against the Yankees on Sunday, holding them to three hits and two runs in seven innings. He has allowed fewer than three runs in seven of his last eight starts and takes on a New York lineup that is struggling. The Yankees are dead-last in the majors in batting average (.203) since reigning AL MVP Aaron Judge hit the IL at the beginning of the month.

Yankees vs Red Sox moneyline and Over/Under analysis The Yankees lost 15-5 last night and have now gone just 3-6 in their last nine games. They still have a 39-31 record and are four games ahead of Boston in the AL East standings. When Clarke and Bello matched up against each other six days ago, the Red Sox were +104 road underdogs. But with the series switching to Boston, they are -135 home favorites today. The O/U was 8.5 for that showdown and both starters looked very sharp, with the teams combining for just 10 hits and five runs. Nonetheless, the O/U for today opened at 9.5 before ticking down to 9. The Yankees have been extremely streaky at the plate this season, and they have struggled to generate runs whenever J...

After dispatching their rivals to the south, the United States men’s national team will look to do the same with their much friendlier northern neighbors when they square off with Canada in Sunday’s CONCACAF Nations League final. Canada is seeking their first major trophy since the turn of the century, when they claimed victory in the 2000 Gold Cup after their 2-0 win over Panama in the semifinal. Standing in their way is a USA side that finished their 3-0 win over Mexico with only nine men on the pitch in a match that was marred by fighting and wretched fan behavior. Will the USMNT be able to overcome key absences in their midfield, or will Canada’s counter-pressing style be able to take advantage and bring home a long-awaited piece of hardware? We break down the action in our United States vsCanada picks and predictions for Sunday, June 18. USA vs Canada best odds USA Canada +115 Moneyline +240 +230 Draw +230 Over 2.5 (+140) Total Under 2.5 (-188) Odds courtesy of bet365 on June 17, 2023. USA vs Canada picks and predictions While it’s been 23 years since they raised a trophy, it’s been more than twice that long since Canada defeated the Americans in their own backyard. The last time the Canadians came south and claimed victory was in 1957, a feat they’ll have to repeat if they hope to win on Sunday in Las Vegas. They’re also keen to erase the memories of a very disappointing World Cup. A dark-horse pick by many, Canada failed to earn a point, scoring just two goals as they lost all three of their matches. But they’ve recovered nicely, winning all three of their CONCACAF Nations League games since then by a combined score of 8-1. Striker Jonathan David is in strong form, and his opener on Thursday gives him three goals in his last three outings for the national team. The United States won the inaugural Nations League trophy in 2021, and seek to remain the only holders of it with a win over Canada. They’ve failed to beat their northern neighbors in each of their last two meetings, drawing 1-1 at home in World Cup qualifying before losing 2-0 in Canada. Thursday night’s performance against Mexico gave USMNT fans quite a bit to be excited about. While he didn’t score himself, Folarin Balogun’s movement contributed to their second goal on the night as Christian Pulisic scored either side of halftime. With Tyler Adams absent, their lineup was as strong as it could be and left many American fans believing this was their strongest side possible. That won’t be the case on Sunday. Their depth will have to come into play with Weston McKennie and Sergino Dest both suspended after being shown straight red cards in a match that got very contentious as Mexico got outclassed. The loss of those two players will hurt a defense that held Mexico to just one shot on goal. Canada were a bit fortunate to keep Panama from scoring on Thursday night, but this is a much tougher attack to stop. The USMNT looked lethal with Gio Reyna pulling the strings, and it’s hard to see Canada keeping another clean sheet. But the same goes for the United States. Mexico was without their top three strikers and multiple key players in the middle. Canada will likely have Alphonso Davies back in the starting lineup, and his pace can cause real problems, while David and Cyle Larin will test the back line. Belgium are the only side to keep Canada off the...

We've got a busy day of baseball with all 30 teams in action, and the final game on the MLB odds board is a showdown between the Cleveland Guardians and the Arizona Diamondbacks. This is the second contest in a three-game set at Chase Field, with Arizona prevailing 5-1 last night. The Guardians are sending former Cy Young winner Shane Bieber to the mound, but the D-Backs are surprisingly atop the NL West and won't be an easy squad to knock off at home. Here are my best free Guardians vs. Diamondbacks MLB picks and predictions for June 17. Guardians vs Diamondbacks odds Guardians vs Diamondbacks predictions The Arizona Diamondbacks are sending lefty Tommy Henry to the hill for this showdown. The second-year pitcher has struggled this month, allowing five runs in back-to-back starts against the Phillies and Nationals. Henry has some pretty solid analytics this season, but his expected ERA still sits at 4.64. The biggest problem with Henry is that he relies primarily on his four-seamer (throwing it 51% of the time), but ranks in the Bottom 20th percentile in both fastball velocity and spin. It should come as no surprise that opponents are making him pay for that by slugging .662 against that pitch. While the Cleveland Guardians are just 28th in the majors in OPS (.672), they have been hitting much better lately with an OPS of .778 over the last 15 days. With Henry throwing tasty fastball offerings over the middle of the plate, Cleveland should be able to get to him for at least three earned runs. My best bet: Tommy Henry Over 2.5 earned runs (-115) Guardians vs Diamondbacks same-game parlay Tommy Henry Over 2.5 earned runs Amed Rosario Under 1.5 hits Shane Biever Under 2.5 earned runs Although I'm fading Henry, I don't think every Cleveland hitter is going to mash against him, and the Under 1.5 hits prop for Amed Rosario is simply too good to pass up. Rosario is batting well against southpaws this year, but he has just four multi-hit games in his last 31 contests. This is a guy who is hitting .237 this season and has a batting average of just .177 against four-seamers. Guardians starter Shane Bieber isn't quite the elite pitcher he was a few years ago, but he's still a reliable arm that has an impressive 3.29 ERA in 14 starts. The O/U on his earned runs allowed today is at 2.5, a number he has gone below in seven of his last nine starts. While the Diamondbacks have been one of the most productive teams at the dish this year, they are just 25th in barrel rate while ranking 20th in hard-hit rate, which indicates that regression might be on the horizon.

Guardians vs Diamondbacks moneyline and Over/Under analysis The Guardians opened as -135 road favorites for this showdown but money has poured in on the home side, shortening the line to -115. The Diamondbacks have been one of the biggest surprises in baseball this year, and won 5-1 last night to improve to 42-28. They went from the worst team in the majors in 2021 to a 74-88 record last year, and now boast a three-game lead atop the NL West despite only minor offseason changes. The Guardians are five games below .500, and while they've had solid pitching, their so...

Ohtani Rakes Have yourself a June, Shohei Ohtani! The Los Angeles two-way star is having a great year on the mound, but he is on a ridiculous heater at the plate right now. In the month of June, Ohtani is hitting .426 with a 1.460 OPS which includes seven home runs, and if you can believe it, he’s been even hotter over the last week. Ohtani is mashing for a .560 average and an eye-popping 1.996 OPS with six dingers over his last seven games. All I can say, is that I don’t envy Brady Singer tonight, the Kansas City Royals starter who is tasked with trying to slow down the hottest hitter in baseball. Singer has struggled this season pitching to an expected ERA of 6.00 while surrendering a .289 expected batting average and a .507 expected slugging percentage to opponents. All three marks are in the Bottom 10% of the MLB. Overall this season, Ohtani is hitting .311 with a 1.029 OPS vs. right-handers this season which is why I’m looking at his hits + runs +RBIs prop tonight. The number is set at 2.5 which is standard for big production guys, but he has gone Over this number in seven consecutive games, averaging 5 r+h+rbis over that stretch. Ohtani is an absolute monster at the worst of times. But him on a heater is something really scary, and ridiculously fun to watch. Shohei Ohtani prop: Over 2.5 hits + runs + RBIs (-105 at DraftKings) Busting Out Jose Abreu’s tenure with the Houston Astros got off to a rocky start, but the veteran first baseman has looked more like the guy who has been one of the American League’s best run producers and the 2020 MVP since the calendar has flipped over to June. Abreu is hitting .302 with a .850 OPS with three home runs and 13 RBIs through 13 games this month and I like him to keep swinging a hot stick tonight when he and the Houston Astros host the resurgent Cincinnati Reds. The Reds are 7-2 since calling up super prospect Elly De La Cruz and tonight they hand the ball to another prospect as Andrew Abbott takes the mound. Abbott is a left-hander making just his third career start but the first two have gone about as good as a young pitcher could have hoped. He hasn’t allowed a run in 11 2/3 innings on just six hits. That said, he has had issues with command, walking seven batters, and owns an expected ERA is 3.89. A veteran hitter like Abreu can take advantage of that. On top of that, Abbott throws his fastball more than 54% of the time and Abreu has a .277 xBA vs. fastball this season. Abreu has gone Over 1.5 total bases five times in his last seven games. At plus money, it’s worth backing Abreu to make it six of eight tonight. Jose Abreu prop: Over 1.5 total bases (+120) Poor Lourdes The Arizona Diamondbacks lineup has been one of the biggest surprises in baseball this season. They are a balanced lineup that hits for average, power, and rarely strikes out. Ketel Marte, Christian Walker, and rookie phenom Corbin Carroll are the catalysts of the offense, but they have also gotten a solid contribution from newcomer Lourdes Gurriel Jr. The former Blue Jay is hitting .285 with a .851 OPS to start the season. But as was with his time in Toronto, Gurriel continues to be a streaky hitter with several peaks and valleys in a season. And right now, he is in a valley. Gurriel has just one hit in his last 22 plate appearances. He’s got a 0.48 batting average, a .281 OPS, and has struck out eight times over that stretch and I’m betting the cold streak continues tonight...

The Phoenix Mercury may have to find a way to win without superstar Brittney Griner when they visit the Washington Mystics on Friday night. Phoenix (2-6) lost Griner in the second half of their loss to the Seattle Storm on Tuesday. She’s listed as doubtful for tonight’s game against Washington (5-4). The Mystics come in as heavy favorites over a Mercury team that will likely be shorthanded tonight. We’ll break down what this means for bettors in our free WNBA picks and predictions for Mercury vs. Mystics on June 16. Mercury vs Mystics best odds Mercury vs Mystics picks and predictions The Mercury have gotten off to a slow start in 2023. Despite being reinvigorated by the return of Griner after her imprisonment in Russia, Phoenix has struggled to find wins this year, with its only two wins coming against two of the weakest teams in the league: the Indiana Fever and the Minnesota Lynx. The Mercury had a chance to get another win over an overmatched team on Tuesday, when they took on the Storm at home. Seattle had just one win on the season heading into the game, but ultimately walked away with a 14-point win over Phoenix. The loss of Griner, who only played nine minutes, certainly didn’t help Phoenix. Without their star center, the Mercury struggled to even stay in the game at home against arguably the worst team in the WNBA. Griner is averaging 20.1 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game, production that Phoenix can’t easily make up for when she’s out of action. That’s an acute issue against the Mystics, a team that brings a lot to the table in the paint. Power forward Elena Delle Donne leads Washington with 18.4 points per game. But while the two-time MVP is always a problem for any opposing defense, she’s not the only threat on the inside. The Mystics also get huge contributions from Shakira Austin. The 22-year-old second-year center is averaging 12.7 points and 8.8 rebounds per game, and has helped establish Washington as one of the toughest teams to deal with in the paint. Without Griner in the lineup, the Mercury will have a difficult time guarding the Washington bigs in the paint. Backup center Megan Gustafson might get more run than usual, but she’s just 6-foot-3, and is far from the imposing presence that Griner (6-foot-9) presents. Delle Donne and Austin are both 6-foot-5, not to mention more skilled than any of the other Phoenix post players. Washington should dominate in the paint tonight, and that should lead to lots of easy points. We’ve already seen how the Mercury struggled against a poor team without Griner in the lineup; now, we’ll get to see how much worse that situation gets when they face real star power in Delle Donne. I’m taking the Mystics to cover a double-digit spread at home tonight. My best bet: Mystics -11.5 (-104) Not intended for use in MA.

The Minnesota Lynx have shown a pulse the last two weeks, both in the WNBA odds and in the standings. The Los Angeles Sparks, meanwhile, have shown borderline dominance at home thus far this season. Only one of those trends can continue tonight, so which will it be? Here are our free WNBA picks and predictions for the Lynx vs the Sparks on June 16, with tip set for 10:00 p.m. ET. Lynx vs Sparks best odds Lynx vs Sparks picks and predictions The Minnesota Lynx are quickly ruining their delightful tank for Iowa superstar Caitlin Clark. Okay, okay, that is mostly facetious. But by opening the season with six straight losses, Minnesota opened itself to those barbs. Then it won two out of the next three games, including on Sunday against these Sparks, though that game was in the original home of the Lakers, not the adopted one. Looking through the box score of that five-point Lynx win, the free-throw disparity stands out most. Frankly, Los Angeles’s numbers would have otherwise indicated a usual performance and thus probably a win. Shooting 32 percent from three was within reach of its usual rate, and committing 10 turnovers was actually better than usual. Minnesota was not particularly on fire, hitting just 7 of 26 from deep. But the Lynx attempted 25 free throws, making 24 of them. Minnesota has averaged just 20.3 free throw attempts per game this season. Sunday was not a season-high, but it should be noted that the other four times the Lynx shot at least 20 free throws, they lost. They also have not made more than 22 free throws in a game other than Sunday. Sure, that’s only two points, but that kind of swing would have given the Los Angeles Sparks a lead in the last minute. They may have won and covered as one-point favorites if not for the absurd quantity and quality of Minnesota’s free throws. Los Angeles, meanwhile, took just 15 free throws on Sunday, down from its season average of 19.2. In their eight other games, the Sparks have shot 20 or more free throws in half of them. Remove a 28-point blowout loss to Las Vegas in which Los Angeles took just nine free throws and its season average rises to 20.5 attempts. Sunday’s 15 stands out. Chalk some of that up to the Lynx's discipline, giving up only 15.7 free throws per game, No. 2 in the league. But also chalk up some of Minnesota’s influx of free throws to home-court advantage, given Los Angeles ranks No. 4 in free throws allowed. This is only one aspect of the game, but it stood out Sunday, and it should not continue tonight, particularly not with the change in venue. The Sparks have not lost against the spread at home this season. They should be primed for a revenge moment tonight and enjoy a regression to the means at the free-throw line. My best bet: Sparks -5 (-110 at Caesar's) Not intended for use in MA. Affiliate Disclosure: Covers may receive advertising commissions for visits to a sportsbook or betting site.

DraftKings has submitted an offer to acquirePointsBet ’s U.S. business in a $195 million all-cash deal. The proposal by DraftKings comes after Australia-based PointsBet — the seventh-largest online sports betting operator in America —agreed to a deal with Fanatics to sell its U.S. assets for $150 million. DraftKings’ offer will now cause PointsBet to weigh its options regarding a sale. Prior to DraftKings’ bid, New York gaming regulators had been reviewing Fanatics’ offer. Promising venture PointsBet presents a unique opportunity for both Fanatics and DraftKings. The Australian company has online betting sites in 14 states across the U.S., including Colorado, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York — the largest online betting market in America. Fanatics, which launched wagering operations in January 2023, failed to obtain an online sports betting license in New York after submitting a joint bid with Penn National Gaming and Kambi. On the other hand, DraftKings could expand its reach even further with the acquisition of PointsBet’s customers. The Boston-based company is also able to hinder Fanatics’ growth as a sportsbook with the purchase of PointsBet’s U.S. business in a competitive betting market. PointsBet’s U.S. assets have shown signs of growth despite heavy marketing efforts. The company generated $120 million in revenue for the six months ending December 31, 2022, a 28% increase year-over-year. PointsBet reported a total sports betting handle of $2.2 billion in H1 FY2023, compared to $1.6 billion for the same period last year. Despite the uptick, PointsBet reported a net loss after tax of $110 million in H1 FY2023 — a 19% increase year-over-year. Purchasing power DraftKings’ offer to purchase PointsBet’s assets comes after encouraging results in Q1 2023. The sportsbook, which offers wagering in Ontario and 23 states in the U.S., generated $770 million in revenue during the quarter — an 84% increase year-over-year. DraftKings reported a monthly average of 2.8 million unique paying customers in Q1 2023, a 39% uptick compared to Q1 2022. The company is still seeking profitability despite the encouraging results. DraftKings reported a net loss of $397.1 million in Q1 2023, compared to a loss of $467.6 million in Q1 2022. Total cash and cash equivalents reached $1.5 billion in Q1 2023, down from $2.2 billion in Q1 2022. DraftKings’ potential purchase of PointsBet’s U.S. business adds to a growing list of activations the company is using to acquire more customers. In March, the company debuted DK Horse — a standalone horse racing app that is accessible in more than 10 states. The DraftKings has also launched DK Network — a video streaming service that aims to compete with FanDuel+. Fanatics has a difficult task in competing with DraftKings’ offerings as PointsBet decides who to do business with. As the pending sale looms, other sportsbooks may submit offers of their own.

The Toronto Blue Jays must be happy they won’t have to see an American League East opponent for a while after their latest series loss to the Baltimore Orioles. Unfortunately, their divisional escape leads them to a matchup against one of the best teams in the American League, the Texas Rangers. The Rangers have been one of the biggest surprises in baseball, leading the AL West with a 42-26 record thanks to one of the best lineups in the Big Leagues. Blue Jays ace Kevin Gausman will be tasked with shutting the Rangers down. Can he and Martin Perez keep this game Under the total? I break down the MLB odds and bring you my best bet and a juicy same-game parlay in MLB picks and predictions for Blue Jays vs. Rangers on Friday June 16. Blue Jays vs Rangers odds Blue Jays vs Rangers predictions With the Blue Jays' latest loss to the Orioles yesterday, they're now an ugly 7-17 vs. American League East opponents. Now, they're 31-15 in their games outside the division, but the Rangers aren’t going to be your typical non-division opponent. The Rangers’ +143 run differential is the best in the MLB, even better than the consensus best team in baseball, the Tampa Bay Rays. The lineup is one of the league's most dangerous, as nobody has plated more runs this year than the Rangers. But, if there’s a guy capable of shutting them down it’s Kevin Gausman. The Blue Jays ace is coming off a rough outing, against the Twins of all teams, but I’m not too worried about that. Besides a few outlier starts, Gausman looks like one of the most unhittable pitchers in the American League. The combination of his mid-to-upper 90s fastball and his devastating splitter makes him an incredibly hard pitcher to square up. The right-hander is pitching to a 3.47 expected ERA while limiting opponents to a .235 expected batting average. He also ranks in the 93rd percentile when it comes to strikeout rate. He also has outstanding starts against the likes of the Astros, Orioles, Yankees, and Phillies, so he's more than capable of navigating a tough Rangers lineup. Countering Gausman is Martin Perez. The veteran left-hander is still trying to find the magic from last year, which earned him his first All-Star selection. While the overall numbers aren’t great, Perez has been a much more effective pitcher at Globe Life Park. Perez owns a sparkling 1.40 ERA with a 1.13 WHIP while limiting opponents to a .594 OPS when pitching at home this season. And while the Blue Jays have a dangerous lineup of their own, shockingly they haven’t produced as well vs. southpaws. But it’s more than that. They also never seem to be clicking all at once and struggle to get that clutch hit. Toronto hits for a high average, just not with runners in scoring position, where they are hitting .236 which ranks 25th in the MLB. The team also ranks 23rd in OPS and 20th in wRC+ when facing off against left-handed pitchers this season. Now, the total for this matchup opened at 8.5 and has been bumped up to 9 as of writing this. However, I believe this is an inflated number due to both Gausman and Perez coming off rough starts, and doesn’t properly reflect them as starting pitchers in this situation. I like this game to be low scoring early on and am targeting the Under on the five-inning total. My best bet: Under 5 first five innings (-110 at SIA) Blue Jays vs Rangers same-game parlay Under 9.5 Gausman 7+ strike...

The San Diego Padres and Tampa Bay Rays will get a weekend series going late tonight on the West Coast. For my money, the Padres have been the most underwhelming team in baseball and are near the bottom of the NL West standings. They enter today 7.5 games out of first place following a loss to the Cleveland Guardians. The Tampa Bay Rays, as they have for the entirety of the season, continue to have solid command of the AL East. They'll enter today five games up in the division off a series split against the Oakland Athletics. Read on...

They'll enter today five games up in the division off a series split against the Oakland Athletics. Read on for my best bet and full MLB picks and predictions for Rays vs. Padres on Friday, June 16. Rays vs Padres odds Rays vs Padres predictions Tonight is an outstanding pitching matchup between a young star and an old veteran. With that in mind, it only seems right to go in one direction with our best bet, and I'm assuming you guessed it; we're grabbing the Under in tonight's San Diego Padres vs Tampa Bay Rays contest. Let's look at the situation before anything else and perhaps why my projections see nearly a complete run of value here. It's going to be a cool night with temperatures in the mid 60's and winds blowing in today at Petco Park, reducing the ball carry. It's certainly not the be-all and end-all, but it's worth noting in our handicap. The Yu Darvish bounce-back factor was one of the many places that led me to this angle. He's been sensationally good at bouncing back from rough starts and is coming off one here tonight. Just once this season has he given up multiple runs after giving up three in his previous start. The latest example is from a few weeks ago when he was shelled by the New York Yankees for seven earned runs. How did he respond? With seven shutout innings against the Chicago Cubs in his very next start. This has followed a very strong trend of what we've seen throughout the year, and I look for it to continue. Darvish has a good matchup tonight, too. The Tampa Bay Rays don't have excessive strikeout metrics like some other teams, but they still profile well for him. Tampa is generally striking out at an above-average rate and sees that number rise. In addition, they are making a below-average chase contact rate. Even in his later years, Darvish still remains close to an elite strikeout pitcher. I'm expecting him to use his entire pitch arsenal to his advantage. Conversely, on the other side, is it sufficient enough to say that Shane McClanahan is pitching for the Rays? It feels that way. Like Darvish, he also looks to bounce back from a rough start. I use the term "rough start" loosely because it was three earned runs surrendered in seven innings. However, that's the standard McClanahan has set for himself this season, and that's the second most runs he's given up. My best bet: Under 8 (-110 at BetMGM) Rays vs Padres same-game parlay Under 8.5 Darvish Over 6.5 strikeouts McClanahan Over 1.5 walks I'm not looking to do too much here for today's same-game parlay other than take what's there. It's anchored by my best bet of the Under 8.5. Bet365 doesn't allow you to bet flat totals in their same-game parlays, so I opted to go up a half rather than the other direction. The Darvish strikeout number is self-explanatory. It's mostly an average outing for Darvish going against a team with strikeouts at a slightly above-average rate. The hallmark of Darvish's career has been swings and misses, and he still needs to gain...
