Two teams quite familiar with one another will meet yet again on Saturday, as the latest episode of the Cascadia Cup sees the Vancouver Whitecaps do battle with the Seattle Sounders. Vancouver currently sit second in their annual competition with Seattle and Portland, and a victory would see them move into the Cascadia Cup lead. More importantly, it would help solidify their hold on the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. The Gold Cup has been unkind to Seattle, but they were able to end a six-match winless skid against Houston over the weekend. But their struggling offense needs to wake up if they want to keep from falling further behind St Louis City atop the table. Will the Whitecaps get a third straight victory in this series, or can the Sounders get back to their winning ways? Find out in our Vancouver Whitecaps vs Seattle Sounders picks and predictions for Saturday, July 8. Vancouver Whitecaps vs Seattle Sounders best odds Vancouver Whitecaps vs Seattle Sounders picks and predictions Vancouver have had an inconsistent season, but one place they’ve been consistent is at home. They’ve suffered defeat just twice there, one of which came in the CONCACAF Champions League, and they’ve not lost in their last seven home fixtures. A key reason for that home success has been the play of their front line. Brian White has scored seven goals this season, with winger Ryan Gauld contributing four of his own to go along with four assists. Behind their play, the Whitecaps have been held scoreless in just one of their 10 MLS fixtures so far this season, and their 21 goals scored at home in 10 matches are second-most among all Western Conference teams. But White is likely going to miss the match on Saturday, as he did in the 3-0 loss at Sporting KC on Saturday. That defeat ended a four-match goalscoring run for Gauld, during which he also contributed three assists. But the entirety of the offense struggled against a Sporting KC side that has been solid defensively at home. Now, the Whitecaps return home, where Gauld has either scored or assisted in four of his last five appearances. He will also be facing a Sounders team missing key players, and has kept just two away clean sheets through 10 matches this season. They’ve also conceded multiple goals in four of those outings, including two in the last head-to-head meeting in May. Gauld has had success against Seattle in the past, with goal involvements in three of the last five meetings. That includes assisting the opener last season in their 2-1 win in September. And you could argue that he should have four, as it was his powerful shot that hit the post and went off goalkeeper Stefan Frei for a Seattle own goal in their 2-0 win less than 10 weeks ago. With White’s expected absence, it will be up to Gauld to create Vancouver’s opportunities on Saturday. Given his form, both recently and against the Sounders, I love getting him at +135 on FanDuel to either score or set up someone else’s goal. He attempted two shots and created three chances in the first meeting, and I expect a similar output here, giving him solid value for another goal involvement. My best bet:Ryan Gauld to score or assist (+135 at FanDuel) Not intended for use in MA. Affiliate Disclosure: Covers may receive advertising commissions for visits to a sport...

The Las Vegas Aces and the Dallas Wings will complete the second half of a home-and-home series when they meet up at College Park Center on Friday night. The Aces (16-1) won their ninth straight game on Wednesday with an 89-82 victory. However, the Wings (8-9) made Las Vegas work for the victory, as they held a nine-point lead at the half and were still ahead heading into the fourth quarter. Dallas has shown it can give Las Vegas trouble, and now it will get a second shot at the WNBA’s top team at home. We’ll break down the matchup in our free WNBA picks and predictions for Aces vs. Wings on July 7. Aces vs Wings best odds Aces vs Wings picks and predictions The Las Vegas Aces have been the dominant force in the WNBA this year. This is largely a carryover from 2022, when the Aces won the WNBA Championship after finishing the regular season as the top seed in the league. Their raw record will be even better this year, as they’ve only dropped a single game on the season. Las Vegas is currently on nine-game winning streak. During that span, the Aces have won seven games by double figures, showing just how far ahead of the competition they really are. Las Vegas has a massive +15.1 point differential on the season, 8.5 points better than the second-place New York Liberty. On the other hand, Dallas has been downright average. The Wings are in a three-way tie for the final three playoff positions, and have a mediocre +0.8 point differential on the season. While they played well to stay in the game with the Aces on Wednesday, the Wings have still lost six of their last nine overall. So what happened on Wednesday? For one, the Aces were playing without guard Kelsey Plum, who missed the game with an illness. It’s unclear whether Plum will play on Friday night, as she’s still listed as questionable. I’ll assume that Plum will be out again, though there’s upside on Las Vegas if she’s available to play. Dallas also got an outstanding performance from Natasha Howard, who put up 32 points on 13-for-23 shooting on the night. That marked a season-high for Howard, who is averaging 17.5 points and 8.0 rebounds per game for the Wings this year. That’s an especially shocking performance against the Aces, who typically dominate their opposition in the paint. A’ja Wilson and Candace Parker are both excellent post defenders, and its hard to imagine they won’t be more prepared to clamp down on Howard in Friday’s rematch. With or without Plum, the Aces are the deepest team in the WNBA, the most talented team in the league, and balanced in a way that few opponents can even hope to deal with. Dallas is not one of those teams, and we can’t expect Howard to put the Wings on her back again on Friday, especially with the Aces wanting to avoid the slow start they suffered through on Wednesday. Despite the wide gap between these teams, Wednesday’s result and Plum’s uncertain status have pushed this line into single digits. That’s way too little in this matchup, where the Aces should be able to get back to their normal, dominant ways. I’m taking Las Vegas and laying the points, even on the road.

A Malta-based sportsbook is launching new operations in one of America’s largest legal sports betting markets. Unibet — owned by gambling giant Kindred Group — is updating its proprietary sports betting app in Pennsylvania as it expands its market presence across the U.S., sources told Covers. On July 10, Unibet’s online betting sites in the Keystone State were down for scheduled maintenance. The improvements include increased security measures and enhanced analytics and flexibility. The updates to Unibet’s Pennsylvaniasite come a tad bit behind schedule, as the company previously planned to debut its improved platform during the second quarter of 2023. Period of change Unibet updating its Pennsylvania sports betting site comes amid a restructuring of its leadership. In May, Kindred accelerated its plans for a sale by asking for bids from potential suitors to be submitted by the end of the month, according to a report from Bloomberg. The looming sale of Kindred came after the company announced a “strategic review of alternatives.” It saw Henrik Tjärnström step down as CEO and CFO Johan Wilsby resign amid the imminent changes. Despite the changes in structure, Kindred remains an intriguing investment as the company continues to drive profits. Kindred, which also owns Bingo.com, reported $381.8 million in revenue in Q1 2023 — a 24% increase year-over-year. Pennsylvania is also a lucrative market. The Keystone State reported a total sports betting handle of $495.5 million in May — a 13% drop from a $572.1 million handle the month prior. Pennsylvania’s online and retail operators posted $41.1 million in revenue (after promotional deductions) — a 17% uptick year-over-year. Past experience In April, Unibet received final approval from the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement to launch its proprietary platform in The Garden State. Unibet first offered online sports betting in New Jersey in 2019, marking the sportsbook’s first presence in the U.S. It also secured its first sponsorship deal in the U.S. following a multiyear pact with the New Jersey Devils.

In addition, DraftKings has an interesting market that provides a nice way of hedging your bets. Here's a breakdown of just a few of these unique UFC betting options along with some of my favorite special prop picks for UFC 290 on Saturday, July 8. Volkanovski vs Rodriguez odds Bet Odds Volkanovski to have 100+ significant strikes -160 Volkanovski to have 110+ significant strikes +115 Volkanovski to have 120+ significant strikes +185 Rodriguez to have 100+ significant strikes +170 Both fighters to have 100+ significant strikes +240 Volkanovski to land a knock down +105 Rodriguez to land a knock down +430 Volkanovski to land a takedown -190 Volkanovski to land 2+ takedowns +200 Odds courtesy ofFanDuel as of July 7, 2023. Best bet: Alexander Volkanovski to have 110+ significant strikes (+115 at FanDuel) Volkanovski is an extremely accurate, high-volume striker who averages 6.35 significant strikes per minute and tends to go the distance. That gives this prop plenty of value at plus money. The featherweight champ is coming off a fight against Islam Makhachev, where he had just 70 significant strikes. However, that was with Makhachev relying on his grappling to stifle Volkanovski's offense and a kickboxing specialist like Rodriguez will be looking to engage on the feet. Before that fight against Makhachev, Volk had landed more than 130 significant strikes in five consecutive bouts. The last time he went below that number at featherweight was against former champ Jose Aldo in 2019, and he still had 95 significant strikes in just 15 minutes. Rodriguez has absorbed more than 120 significant strikes twice in recent memory, against Max Holloway and the Korean Zombie, both of whom have been vastly out-struck by Volk during his title reign.

Best bet: Either fighter to win in Rounds 4 or 5 (0.5 units +470 at FanDuel) Neither of these guys has ever been finished in their careers, but there's a reason that the fight to go the distance prop is currently a pick 'em.

The third installment of this four-game AL West series gets underway Saturday with the second-place Houston Astros hosting the fourth-place Seattle Mariners. Seattle dominated each of the first two matchups by a combined score of 15-2. Will the Mariners take care of business once again, or can the Astros enact their revenge at Minute Maid Park? Find out in our free MLB picks and predictions for Mariners vs Astros on Saturday, July 8. Mariners vs Astros odds Mariners vs Astros predictions Left-hander Framber Valdez is slated to take the mound for the Houston Astros in this matchup, and he should be a great candidate to back. The current betting favorite to win the AL Cy Young, Valdez is 7-6 (don't let the W-L record fool you) with a 2.49 ERA and 1.05 WHIP through 16 starts. This strong season will likely continue against the Seattle Mariners, a team he has notoriously dominated. Through nine career appearances against them, Valdez is 5-0 with a 1.94 ERA and 53 strikeouts. Specifically, we are going to back the left-hander in the strikeout department. Entering Saturday, he ranks in the 59th percentile or higher in both K% and Whiff%. Currently, you can find his strikeout prop as low as 6.5 — after opening at 5.5 overnight — at most books as of early Saturday afternoon. Hitting has been the Achilles' Heel all season for Seattle, a team that ranks in the Bottom 8 of the league in hits per game, BA, SLG, and OPS. Additionally, the Mariners struggle with avoiding the punchout. When facing left-handed pitching this season, Seattle ranks 26th in the league in K%. Looking at Saturday's projected starting lineup, seven of the nine hitters possess a K% north of 20% this year. These strikeout woes are likely to continue against Valdez. Through 91 career plate appearances against the left-hander, this current Mariners roster possesses a fade-worthy 23.1 K% and 29.2 Whiff%. Not only has Valdez recorded more than 6.5 strikeouts in eight of his past 13 starts, but he has also surpassed that figure in three of his past four outings against Seattle. My best bet: Framber Valdez Over 6.5 strikeouts (+105) Mariners vs Astros same-game parlay Framber Valdez Over 6.5 strikeouts (-120) Under 7 (-104) Framber Valdez 7+ strikeouts (+106) This same-game parlay builds upon itself with each selection. We already covered the first leg in the best bet section above, but let us look at the other two. On the other side, right-handed rookie Bryan Woo takes the mound for Seattle. Through six starts, he is 1-1 with a 4.08 ERA and 1.15 WHIP. While those surface-level stats are sort-of “take it or leave it," his underlying metrics are extremely impressive. Currently, Woo ranks in the 84th percentile or higher in xERA/xwOBA, xBA, xSLG and K%. Houston ranks right around the middle of the pack in pretty much every key hitting statistic, so Woo should not have too many problems with that lineup. With that said, the Astros still boast the stronger lineup and starting pitcher, so we could see them win in a low-scoring affair.

Prop bet #1: Not a Gray area The Minnesota Twins are sending Sonny Gray to the hill against the Baltimore Orioles today. Gray has been up-and-down this season and while he has a sparkling 2.50 ERA through 17 starts, his expected ERA is much higher at 3.77. Gray is actually fresh off a stellar outing against the Orioles on Sunday when he held them to just two hits across six innings of shutout ball. However, he walked three batters in that contest and control has been a long-term issue for him. Gray's walk rate of 9.2% ranks in the Bottom 40th percentile of all pitchers and is almost identical to his 9.3% walk rate over the previous six years. The O's are 12th in the majors in walk rate (8.8%) and have shown patience at the plate this season despite having a younger lineup. The O/U on Gray's walks issued is set at 1.5, a number he has eclipsed in four of his last five outings and in 12 of 17 starts over the entire season. Sonny Gray prop : Over 1.5 walks (-110) Prop bet #2: Always pay your Detmers It's the battle for Los Angeles with the Dodgers hosting the Angels on Saturday night. The Halos are sending Reid Detmers to the mound and he has a 3.72 ERA across 15 starts while ranking in the Top 15th percentile in barrel rate and strikeout rate. The southpaw has been red-hot lately, pitching to a 1.42 ERA, 0.79 WHIP, and .138 OBA over his last five starts. Detmers has fanned at least eight batters in all five of those outings and is coming off a nine-strikeout performance against a Diamondbacks lineup that strikes out at the third-lowest rate in the majors. The Dodgers have one of the most potent lineups in the bigs but they don't do a great job of making contact. In fact, they rank a middling 16th in the majors in strikeout rate (22.8%) with that number ticking up to 23.6% against lefties like Detmers. In fact, when they faced off against Detmers last month he held them to just a pair of hits across seven innings of shutout ball while racking up eight punchouts. The O/U on Detmers' strikeouts total today looks way too low considering his recent play. Reid Detmers prop : Over 5.5 strikeouts (-135 at bet365) Prop bet #3: Padres pummel Peterson New York Mets southpaw David Peterson was demoted to the minors in May after posting an 8.08 ERA with a 1.74 WHIP through his first eight starts. Despite an ugly 4.86 ERA and a 1.62 WHIP across 37 innings at Triple-A Syracuse, he was brought back to the majors a couple of weeks ago. Surprisingly, Peterson has been sharp since being recalled, allowing just one run in 10 innings across a pair of starts. However, those outings came against the Brewers and Giants and he now faces a stacked San Diego Padres lineup. San Diego ranks 16th in the majors with an OPS of .725 but that number bumps up to .754 against lefties like Peterson. That middling number also reflects how poorly they were hitting earlier in the year but they've been much better lately, plating 5.15 runs per game with an OPS of .790 over the last 30 days. Despite his last two quality starts, Peterson still ranks in the Bottom 20th percentile in expected ERA (5.06) and expected batting average (.272). Take the Over 2.5 on his earned runs total tonight.

Life only gets harder vs. the New York Liberty, with Breanna Stewart Co. hefty favorites in this matinee. Can the Liberty handle this significant spread or can the Storm start to find some redemption? Here are our free WNBA picks and predictions for the Storm vs the Liberty on July 8, with the tip set for 2:00 ET. Storm vs Liberty best odds Storm vs Liberty picks and predictions The Storm’s last outing included an early challenge from star guard Jewell Loyd, walking to the Seattle bench during a first-half timeout asking, “Who wants to (bleeping) play today? Who wants to play today?” The Storm trailed 29-6 after the first quarter and 57-24 at the half. The Sun are good, but they're not that good. Seattle is, however, that bad. It has gone 0-4 against the spread in its last four games, falling short of the Vegas expectation by an average of 6.6 points. That first-half mistake stood out. First-half Under bets had been cooking across the league for a couple of weeks, and they went 7-5 in the last week aside from that Storm stumble. Connecticut did its part, scoring 57 first-half points. But Seattle was just too terrible. And that should continue today. Afternoon games tempt naptime lulls. For the Storm, this game is tipping off at 11 a.m. body time. For players who often do not hear a final buzzer until well past sundown and then need to unwind before bed, late-morning and early-afternoon tipoffs land right at the end of a usual circadian rhythm. Facing a comparable defense today — Connecticut sits No. 3 in the league in defensive rating with New York at No. 4 — any early sluggishness from Seattle may doom yet another first-half total, particularly if sportsbooks have begun to adjust to a trend that was quite profitable in late June. This full-game total of 167.5 would logically have a first-half total of 83 or 83.5 if not 82.5. Divide the full-game number in half and pull off a point or two; that is the usual first-half total math. Instead, this game sits at 84.5. It has been inflated, but on this occasion, naptime discretion is more prudent. My best bet: First-half total Under 84.5 (-110 at DraftKings) Not intended for use in MA.

Strider had back-to-back poor outings in June but has allowed just four runs while fanning 28 batters in 19 2/3 innings since. The Rays are giving the pill to struggling rookie Taj Bradley. The 22-year-old was sent down to the minors in April and despite getting rocked at Triple-A Durham (surrendering 21 runs in 16 innings), he was recalled after injuries decimated Tampa Bay's rotation. In nine starts since slotting back into the rotation, Bradley has a 5.93 ERA, 1.56 WHIP, and an OBA of .290. Bradley ranks in the Bottom 20th percentile in hard-hit rate and exit velocity, which is bad news against an Atlanta lineup that leads the majors in both categories. The Braves also lead the majors in wOBA (.360) with that number surging to an incredible .398 since the start of June. The Rays are third in the majors in wOBA (.341) but their bats have gone cold since the start of June with that number plummeting to .312. The Braves have gone a sizzling 19-2 in their last 21 games and with their best hurler on the mound against a struggling rookie, there's little reason to consider the underdogs at this number. With the disparity in starting pitchers for this matchup, I'm backing the Braves to have the lead after five innings. My best bet: Braves first five innings -0.5 (-120 at bet365) Braves vs Rays same-game parlay Braves first five innings -0.5 (-120) Taj Bradley Over 5.5 strikeouts (+105) Matt Olson Over 1.5 total bases (-105) +650 at bet365 While Bradley has been getting hit hard, he has electric stuff and his strikeout rate ranks in the Top 15th percentile. Despite striking out fewer than 5.5 batters in his last two outings, he has still eclipsed that number in eight of 12 starts on the year. Fading the Rays in the first five innings and backing their starter to go Over his strikeouts prop provides a nice multiplier for a parlay. Ronald Acuna Jr. might be the overwhelming favorite in NL MVP odds but teammate Matt Olson isn't far behind him on the total bases leaderboard. Olson is tied for third in the majors with 192 total bases and is slashing .254/.360/.573 this season. Olson has been red-hot lately, slugging .688 over the last month, and the left-handed power-hitter will hold the platoon advantage against Bradley.

Both teams will try to bounce back from their first defeats of the year after the Lions got destroyed by the Argonauts and the Als were shut down by the Blue Bombers last weekend.

Both teams will try to bounce back from their first defeats of the year after the Lions got destroyed by the Argonauts and the Als were shut down by the Blue Bombers last weekend. CFL betting lines opened with the Leos as 7-point home favorites before that number ticked up to -7.5. Here are my best free CFL picks and predictions for Alouettes vs. Lions on Sunday, July 9. Alouettes vs Lions best odds Alouettes vs Lions picks and predictions Lions quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. is coming off one of his worst performances as a pro, throwing six interceptions in a 45-24 loss to the Argonauts on Monday. That said, the 2019 East All-Star is a veteran with a proven track record and he has the requisite mentality to bounce back this week. Despite those six picks, Adams still threw for 388 yards and wasn't benched, which shows the faith this team has in him as well as the quality of his receiving targets. Those targets will be bolstered by the return of 2021 All-Star Lucky Whitehead, who missed last week with a hamstring injury. Whitehead, Dominique Rhymes, and Keon Hatcher give Adams one of the best groups of wideouts in the CFL and they'll look to take advantage of an Alouttes secondary that will likely be missing its top defensive back Ciante Evans. Adams will also have plenty of time to throw with Montreal's defense ranking second-last in the CFL in pressure rate — a far cry from last week when they faced an Argos stop unit that leads the league in that category. The main concern when betting on passing yards props for a QB on a 7.5-point favorite is that his team could lean on the ground game if they get up big. Don't expect that to happen here. The Leos starting running back Taquan Mizzell is sidelined with a knee injury and backup Kienan LaFrance is also injured. That means the only running back on their roster is 186-pound rookie Shaun Shivers who they signed off the street less than two weeks ago. Suffice to say that Adams will be airing it out on Sunday and should surpass his relatively modest passing yards total. My best bet:Vernon Adams Jr. Over 249.5 passing yards (-114 at FanDuel) Alouettes vs Lions same-game parlay Vernon Adams Jr. Over 249.5 passing yards (-114) Keon Hatcher Over 54.5 receiving yards (-114) Austin Mack Over 71.5 receiving yards (-114) Hatcher broke out with 1,043 receiving yards last season and he was even better in the playoffs where he totaled 295 yards in a pair of contests. He missed the first three games of this season with a foot injury, but showed he was back to full strength on Monday, hauling in eight of 10 targets for 104 yards. Although Rhymes might be the best receiver in the league, Hatcher's O/U on receiving yards in nearly 20 yards lower and he should get plenty of targets in the slot as he bullies Montreal's smaller defensive backs. Since I'm backing Adams and the Lions offense to have a big game it makes sense to assume that the Als will also be throwing the ball a lot as they try to play catch up. Montreal's wide receiver corps has been decimated by injuries, but Austin Mack has been carrying the offense. The first-year wideout has been one of the league's breakout players this season and has racked up more than 80 receiving yards in every contest. He should continue to see plenty of targets with R...

The New York Yankees had been picking up some steam heading into the week, but they’ve now lost three straight after getting blanked 3-0 on Friday night. With their ace on the hill, might things turn around on Saturday against the Chicago Cubs? Let’s break down Cubs vs. Yankees in our MLB picks and predictions for Saturday, July 8. Cubs vs Yankees odds Cubs vs Yankees predictions Drew Smyly’s got a couple things working against him today in this matchup. For starters, he’s left-handed and will deal to a Yankees team which is just outside the Top 10 in Major League Baseball with a 108 wRC+ to lefties. The other is that he’s a fly ball pitcher. That’s right, Smyly’s fly ball rate is up to 26.6% this season, which is over three points clear of the league average, and his ground ball rate has plummeted to 34%, which is roughly 10 points lower than average. As we know, Yankee Stadium is one of the worst places to pitch to fly balls considering it ranks third in park factor for home runs. The Yankees are also incredibly adept at converting fly balls into home runs with a 14.6% home run-to-fly ball ratio, making this a very difficult task for Smyly. He’s been able to rely on some solid defense behind him all season, but the conditions in New York should make for a tough outing. New York may be slumping at the moment, but it should pull this one out quite easily. My best bet: Yankees -1.5 (+105 at DraftKings) Cubs vs Yankees same-game parlay Yankees ML Bader 2+ Total Bases Smyly Under 3.5 Strikeouts This one should be well within reason. I know I just took the Yankees to cover the run line above, but in a parlay we have the luxury of taking some heavier odds to create a safer leg. Therefore, I’m going to opt for the outright moneyline. Then, I will be backing the man on the Yankees who hits the most fly balls of anyone, and that’s Harrison Bader. Not only is he an extreme fly ball guy at around 50%, he also mashes lefties. In just 34 plate appearances against southpaws this year, Bader owns a 1.379 OPS with four home runs. He should get an extra base hit here, at the very least. Finally, we’ve got the Under on Smyly strikeouts. Not only should he struggle to last long in this game, he owns a 19.7% strikeout rate, which puts him in the bottom 27% of the league. The Yankees are striking out in under 19% of plate appearances over the last week which is an extremely good number, and I love them to hit this Under.

Cubs vs Yankees moneyline and Over/Under analysis We’ve done a lot of talking about Drew Smyly against this Yankees offense, but what about Gerrit Cole against the Cubs? Well, I’m not sure it’s a great matchup for the visitors. The Cubs are striking out nearly 25% of the time over the past week, which makes for a pretty brutal test against a guy with a 26% strikeout rate which just continues to rise. Though he punched out just five in his last outing, he finished June with 34 strikeouts in 30 innings. This leads me to believe that the Cubs should have some serious issues here. Cole has also been burned by home runs and walks at times, but the Cubs have a very weak .116 ISO in the last week with a low 7.5% walk rate. I don’t think Chica...

Just weeks after meeting in the CONCACAF Nations League final, the United States and Canada will reacquaint themselves in Sunday’s Gold Cup quarterfinals. The US has had a week off to rest and regroup after clinching the top spot in Group A, and they will hope striker Jesus Ferreira can continue his goal-scoring ways against their northern foes. Meanwhile, Canada reached the last eight of the tournament by defeating Cuba on Tuesday to finish second in their group, but continued to look shaky in defense. Will Canada find a way to end a 22-match winless streak against the Yanks on American soil, or will the USMNT continue their march towards yet another Gold Cup trophy? It’s all discussed in our United States vs Canada picks and predictions for Sunday, July 9. USA vs Canada best odds USA Canada -154 Moneyline +425 +300 Draw +300 Over 2.5 (-106) Total Under 2.5 (-118) Odds courtesy of bet365 on July 8, 2023. USA vs Canada picks and predictions Ferreira’s performance against Trinidad and Tobago solidified his place as the “Pirate of the Caribbean” as his hat trick spearheaded a 6-0 win last weekend. It was their second straight 6-0 score line, and his second consecutive hat trick after doing so in their win over St. Kitts and Nevis. While it’s highly unlikely either the United States or Ferreira will replicate either of those feats against Canada, a convincing victory isn’t out of the realm of possibility. In fact, the likelihood of such a result taking place is why I'm taking the Americans to win by at least two goals as my best bet. With many of their top stars departing following the Nations League, this Canada side has failed to impress and looks a shell of what we saw just last month. They drew with both Guadeloupe and Guatemala, failing to score against the latter, before defeating Cuba. Even then, they conceded a pair of penalties as they made mistakes at the back. The four goals against Cuba was an offensive explosion for a side that had scored just four goals in their previous four outings combined. Their 2-0 defeat to the United States in the Nations League final saw them put just four efforts on goal, despite having Alphonso Davies back in the side. Even if Ferreria isn’t able to replicate what he’s done to the smaller nations in this tournament, this is a United States team with much more firepower and creativity than what Canada witnessed from Cuba or Guadeloupe, who scored two goals against them in their draw. Gianluca Busio has been playing well in the midfield, with a goal and two assists in his two starts, and is pulling the strings in attack. Meanwhile, the defense has conceded just one goal so far in the tournament and Matt Turner continues to play quite well in goal. While Canada has a few players with creative ability, they lack the firepower to truly test this American defense. Jamaica’s front line was much more formidable and managed just a single goal. Defensively, they’re going to struggle with the pace and power of what the Yanks throw at them, and with top keeper Milan Borjan out for the remainder of the tournament, this one could get ugly in front of a very pro-American crowd. The money line is too juiced, and the -1 Asian spread doesn’t pay enough for my liking. Instead, take the -1.5 alternative Asian spread at bet365 for a very generous price of +175 as the Americans win easily. My best bet: United...

The Los Angeles Angels are the luckiest team on earth. Not only have they had the services of Mike Trout - who many consider to be the best player in baseball - for the past 13 seasons, but they also employ Shohei Ohtani, who some say is slowly taking over that title. Combined, they have four MVP awards and one Ohtani ROY honor over the last 13 years. Some teams go decades without having an elite talent, let alone two, and for Ohtani, this season appears to be all about what he can accomplish from an individual perspective. The 2023 AL MVP odds race appears all but wrapped up in Ohtani’s favor, as he is the current MLB HR title odds favorite and he still in the Top 5 in 2023 AL Cy Young odds. He is currently on pace to hit 59 home runs, which puts him in the conversation of potentially reaching Aaron Judge’s home run record of 62 set just last year. Let’s take a look at what the sportsbooks have to say about Ohtani’s chances at making history this season. Odds for Shohei Ohtani to break American League home run record Shohei Ohtani Yes Shohei Ohtani No +1,500 -7,000 Odds courtesy ofFanDuelas of July 8, 2023. Records are made to be broken Before we take a deep dive into Ohtani’s stats and how I believe the second half of the season will go for the Angels superstar, let’s break down the top five home run outputs in the American League throughout the history of baseball: Year Player Home runs Team 2022 Aaron Judge 62 New York Yankees 1961 Roger Maris 61 New York Yankees 1927 Babe Ruth 60 New York Yankees 1921 Babe Ruth 59 New York Yankees 1932 Jimmie Fox 59 Philadelphia Athletics If this list feels outdated to you, it’s because it is. Outside of Aaron Judge who broke Roger Maris’ AL home run record that stood for 61 years, you must go back to 2002 for the last time someone got within five home runs of Maris, and that was Alex Rodriguez, who hit 57 bombs. What Judge did last year was special and it was a treat to be able to watch such an incredible record get broken, but something tells me with the way things are trending in baseball right now, we won’t have to wait another 61 years for a new AL home run king.

Call 1-800-GAMBLER Ohtani's 2023 season trajectory As the number of ways to describe Ohtani’s brilliance is dwindling, his home run count and production for the Angles are steadily increasing. He’s got a slash line of .296/.383/.650 and he’s already driven in 68 runs and added 31 home runs – all before the All-Star break. The easy way to answer the question of ‘will Ohtani break Judge’s record’ is to just double his production and, voila he’s tied the record. Unfortunately, it’s not that simple. Ohtani runs the risk of injury both at the plate and when takes the bump every fifth day, and any sort of missed time would put Ohtani behind the season-long pace required to hit 63 longballs. He’s currently dealing with a blister which caused him to be removed early from a pitching start, but he did stay in the game as the DH. If we compare the pace Ohtani is on this season to Judg...

Can Minnesota keep it going against a competent foe? The WNBA odds don't paint an optimistic picture. Here are our free WNBA picks and predictions for Aces vs Lynx on July 9. Aces vs Lynx best odds Aces vs Lynx picks and predictions How much can really be gleaned from beating the Storm twice, the Mercury twice, and the Fever once? Obviously, the Minnesota Lynx were glad to win those games rather than lose them, but climbing up to .500 because of the WNBA cellar-dwellers is hardly a reason to think Minnesota is that good. The last time it faced the Las Vegas Aces, the game was so lopsided that Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve turned to her bench at the start of the fourth quarter. Minnesota has gotten better in the last three weeks, but that was a 24-point game through three quarters. The Lynx have not gotten that much better. This spread falling as low as -11.5 in favor of the Aces is an overreaction to a handful of fool’s gold wins. Four of Minnesota’s five straight wins came against two of the league’s three worst offenses. All five came against the league’s three worst defenses. The Fever have a bright future, and Jewell Loyd is still an underrated scorer, but there is nothing else positive to be said about Indiana, Seattle, and Phoenix presently. Las Vegas’s defense is 10 points better, per 100 possessions, than the best of those three defenses (Seattle’s). Its offense is the best in the league by 5.4 points per 100 possessions, and 9.5 points better than the best of those three offenses (Indiana’s). The Lynx will not be able to match that. They are better than three weeks ago, but not a dozen points better. This spread should not be within 15 points. Sportsbooks and bettors alike have boosted Minnesota too much because it beat the WNBA’s bottom-feeders. My best bet: Aces -11.5 (-115 at BetMGM) Not intended for use in MA.

Mets vs Padres odds Mets vs Padres predictions Just when we thought Mets starter Max Scherzer had begun to figure things out, he gave up three home runs in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Tuesday. In doing so, Scherzer allowed five or more hits for the sixth time in his last seven outings, and continues to put himself behind the proverbial eight ball. At this point, Scherzer is relying on strikeouts. He’s still sitting down 27.5% of the batters he faces this season — which is an incredible mark — and his walk rate remains low at 5.8%. But his barrel rate of 9.8% is a career-worst, as is his 39.6% hard-hit rate. Making contact is how you get to Scherzer. That’s something the Padres have done a lot of lately. They’re making contact on 78.1% of their swings and striking out just 20.8% of the time over the last two weeks. It represents a huge area of growth for an offense that has been so poor all season. I think with Joe Musgrove on the hill, the Padres are deserving favorites and should get this done. My best bet: Padres moneyline (-130 at DraftKings) Mets vs Padres same-game parlay Padres moneyline Musgrove 5+ strikeouts Ha-Seong Kim 1+ hits When Musgrove squared off against the Mets in the playoffs last year, he struck out five over seven frames and allowed just two baserunners. I think he should be more than capable of racking up five again here in what should be a winning effort. It’s true that the Mets’ strikeout rate over the last two weeks stands at a respectable 21.7%, but this is a team that on the whole has been far less disciplined than it was last year. Against a better offense, five strikeouts in seven innings was somewhat impressive. It should be easy to attain here. I’m also a fan of Ha-Seong Kim in this spot. He has a .286 lifetime batting average against Scherzer and has been one of the most consistent hitters for San Diego. He has a hit in five of his last six games, and in his last 21 games (dating back to June 15), he’s hitting .324. I think he’s a great value here to get a hit.

Mets vs Padres moneyline and Over/Under analysis I spoke at length as to why the Padres moneyline is my best bet above. As for the total, I still trust Scherzer to keep this game in a somewhat manageable place. Even in giving up three home runs last time out, the right-hander still only yielded four earned runs and managed to punch out eight or more for a fourth straight game. The home runs have been an issue for Scherzer, but it’s not as if he’s compounded that problem by scattering hits and walks. With that, I would lean towards the Under here as my favorite play on the total. The Mets, once the kings of contact, rank 15th in contact rate over the last two weeks. They’re sporting a 119 wRC+, which is heavily influenced by an influx of power, but that’s probably not the best way to beat Musgr...

The Connecticut Sun will look to continue their winning ways at home on Sunday afternoon when they host Elena Delle Donne and the Washington Mystics in a matchup between Eastern Conference WNBA rivals.

Connecticut (13-5) beat the Seattle Storm 93-73 on Thursday night, while Washington (10-7) last played on Friday, scoring a 96-88 win over the Indiana Fever. While neither team is known for having a high-octane approach, both squads have been flashing some scoring punch in recent games. We’ll break down what that means for WNBA odds bettors in our free WNBA picks and predictions for Mystics vs. Sun on July 9. Mystics vs Sun best odds Mystics vs Sun picks and predictions When it comes to pace metrics, the Washington Mystics and the Connecticut Sun rank right in the middle of the pack among WNBA teams. Yet that hasn’t stopped these two clubs from playing high-scoring basketball on a consistent basis over the last few weeks. For the season, Washington has been the best defensive team in the league, allowing a WNBA-best 77.4 points per game. Its offense has only been average, putting up 80.5 points a night, but that’s been enough to build a winning record. Recently, however, the Mystics have been finding themselves battling teams in shootouts on a nightly basis. In each of the team’s last five games, Washington has played to a total of 161 points or more. In four of those games, the total has been at least 177, and the Mystics have scored 88 points or more four times in that span. Connecticut has both scored more points per game (84.4) and allowed more (79.2) than Washington this year, though it isn’t exactly one of the league’s biggest run-and-gun teams either. Just like the Mystics, however, the Sun have found themselves playing to higher scores on a regular basis in recent games. Connecticut has played to totals of above 160 points in nine of its last 11 games. Even in the exceptions — an 89-68 win over the Minnesota Lynx, and an 83-74 victory at the Los Angeles Sparks — the Sun played to a reasonable total of 157 points. Connecticut is riding a four-game streak in which every game has come in above 165 points, and the Sun haven’t scored less than 80 points in any of their last 14 contests. That brings us to tonight’s game, in which the total has been set as low as 159.5 points at some sites. This is the kind of number that looks reasonable when you look at the season-long averages for these teams. Washington’s average total of 157.9 actually comes in under the number, while Connecticut’s average (163.6) isn’t far above it. But that ignores what we’ve seen from these teams as of late. If this were an aberration of just a few games on one side, we could chalk it up to variance, but these two teams are clearly playing a different brand of basketball as we head into the summer. It’s rare that either team has gotten close to this number recently, let alone below it. With both Washington and Connecticut poised to score points tonight, I’m taking the Over. And while it’s best to find the lowest number you can grab, I’d be happy to place this bet even at 160.5 or 161 points, which is about as high as it sits at any sportsbook as of Sunday morning. My best bet: Over 159.5 points (-113 at Unibet) Not in...

The Toronto Blue Jays and Detroit Tigers will meet once more at Comerica Park on Sunday afternoon before the All-Star break. The hosts evened up the series in style at one win apiece on Saturday on the strength of a combined no-hitter, but come into today’s contest as the underdog in the MLB odds with Tarik Skubal making just his second start of the season.

The hosts evened up the series in style at one win apiece on Saturday on the strength of a combined no-hitter, but come into today’s contest as the underdog in the MLB odds with Tarik Skubal making just his second start of the season. Can Skubal help Detroit shut down Toronto’s offense again, or will the visitors take the rubber match? We’ll discuss in our Blue Jays vs Tigers MLB picks and predictions for Sunday, July 9. Blue Jays vs Tigers odds Blue Jays vs Tigers predictions After the Blue Jays rolled to an easy win in the series opener, the Tigers responded with a 2-0 victory to even up the set on Saturday as three pitchers combined to no-hit Toronto. Starter Matt Manning did the bulk of the work, throwing 6 2/3 innings while allowing just three baserunners via walk, while relievers Jason Foley and Alex Lange picked up the final seven outs. Detroit will hand the ball over to Tarik Skubal for just the second time this season after the left-hander missed 11 months following flexor tendon surgery. Skubal was limited to just four innings in his season debut on July 4 but didn’t allow a hit and recorded six strikeouts against the Athletics. While the Jays exploded for 12 runs in the first meeting against the Tigers on Friday, their bats have been quiet of late, recording just 3.67 runs per game in the nine contests prior to this series. Toronto has also now been shut out three times in its last 11 outings. Chris Bassitt hasn’t been at the top of his game either, posting a 6.85 ERA across his last five starts while giving up at least three earned runs in four of those outings. I doubt that the Jays will get shut out again, but they could struggle to find their footing against an unknown commodity in Skubal, so look for the Tigers to draw first blood. My best bet: Tigers First To Score (+145 at SIA) Blue Jays vs Tigers same-game parlay Tigers First To Score Blue Jays Under 4.5 Runs Tigers Under 4.5 Runs Along with banking on Detroit to open the scoring, we’re going to round out today’s same-game parlay by taking the Under on 4.5 runs for both the Blue Jays and Tigers. A major reason why I expect Toronto to struggle offensively again today is because of how poor they’ve been against left-handed pitching this season — the club’s .383 slugging percentage is the sixth-worst mark in the majors. Meanwhile, the Tigers are averaging just 3.92 runs per game, and have scored five or more runs just five times in their last 15 outings.

Blue Jays vs Tigers moneyline and Over/Under analysis It’s hard to have much confidence in the Blue Jays after they were shut out and no-hit on Saturday, but I’m going to stick with the favorites and bank on a bounce-back performance in today’s ballgame. While the southpaw Skubal could give them some trouble again, the Jays have more than enough talent on paper to drive in at least a few runs. Whit Merrifield (3 HR, 8 RBI) and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (1 HR, 7 RBI) have both been hot at the plate so far this month, so we’ll see if they can bring Toronto’s offense back to...

If you are wagering on professional football at online sports betting sites, odds are you’ve come into contact with Genius Sports, even if you weren’t aware. The London-based data and technology company has, in the course of a few weeks, secured a significant position for itself in the world of legal sports betting. As a result, wagering on the Canadian Football League (CFL), National Football League (NFL), and English Premier League (EPL) has and will, for the foreseeable future, rely in part on the services of Genius Sports Ltd. On Thursday, the NFL and Genius announced what is essentially a three-year extension of their partnership, giving the latter the ongoing and exclusive right to distribute the league’s live data to media companies and sportsbooks through to the end of the 2027-28 season. That data can be used to create betting markets, update odds, and settle wagers in a timely fashion, Genius says. “The expansion of this partnership follows the successful launch and integration of official NFL data throughout the sports betting, media and broadcast ecosystem, redefining the way fans engage with the NFL,” the company said in a press release. “Today, Genius Sports powers over 98% of the legalized U.S. sports betting market with official NFL data, driving innovations such as player props, micro-betting, same-game parlays and personalized data-driven advertising content.” We could see more online sportsbooks in the U.S. streaming live NFL games during the coming season, as the league and data/tech company Genius Sports announced today they've extended their partnership through the end of the 2027-28 season:https://t.co/jQdfDcGlDP pic.twitter.com/yBra4Oj1rN — Geoff Zochodne (@GeoffZochodne) July 6, 2023 Investors smiled at the announcement. Shares of Genius shot up during trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday, rising more than 25% in value to close at $7.30 apiece. The stock price was up again on Friday, albeit around 2.8% as of midday. Renewing the NFL deal was essentially the “largest overhang” deterring investors from buying the stock, according to Charles Scherr, vice president of capital markets and strategic initiatives for Genius, in an interview with Covers. A recurring question for Genius from prospective investors was how the company would ensure a renewal of the NFL deal, and on favorable terms. “And our answer to them, which I think we very much validated today, is that it's always going to be technology-driven,” Scherr said on Thursday. “It's always going to be about the relationships that we have in the NFL’s ecosystem with not only their sportsbooks but also their teams and their sponsors and their broadcast partners.” Same name, different sport Starting this season, Genius can sell additional U.S. sportsbooks on its “Watch Bet low latency live game video feeds,” allowing bettors to log into an app or site and wager on NFL games they can then view through the same operator. Genius began testing out the feature last year with Caesars Sportsbook — and provides it to sites outside the U.S. — but its new deal with the NFL frees it up to expand to other operators in the U.S. “Watch Bet has proven to be a really significant tool for operators to drive further engagement in and around the NFL,” Scherr said. “And that's exactly what we want to happen.

Take a deep breath Toronto Blue Jays fans. Alek Manoah is starting a baseball game tonight. Manoah will make his first start since being sent down to the minors to re-find his game, following a disastrous first two months of the season. Toronto will try to toss Manoah a softball in his return to Big League action by having him take the mound against the light-hitting Detroit Tigers. But is a month in the minors enough to get Manoah back on track? And is it enough to give you the confidence to back the Jays as healthy road favorites in Detroit on Friday night? I break down the MLB odds and bring you my best bet, plus a same-game parlay in MLB picks and predictions, Blue Jays vs. Tigers. Blue Jays vs Tigers odds Blue Jays vs Tigers predictions I was surprised the Toronto Blue Jays recalled Alek Manoah to pitch in this spot and I don’t really understand their thought process here. It seemed like the Blue Jays'would leave the big right-hander in the minors at least through the All-Star break as now this almost feels like a lose-lose situation. Manoah either pitches well against the Detroit Tigers and what amounts to a Triple-A lineup, or he pitches poorly against what amounts to a Triple-A lineup. For those unaware, Manoah was sent down to the Blue Jays training facility in Florida following his June 5 start vs. the Houston Astros, which lasted just a third of an inning where he got tagged for six runs on seven hits. It was the culmination of a dumpster fire that was the first two months of the season for a pitcher who finished third in American League Cy Young voting a season ago. Nothing was going right for Manoah. His velocity was down. He lost his command. And he wasn’t striking out anyone. The right-hander pitched to a 6.85 expected ERA and surrendered a 2.85 expected batting average and a.495 expected slugging percentage which were all in the Bottom 9% of the MLB. So, the Jays sent him down to reportedly work on his mechanics and get in better shape. But can that really be accomplished in a month? He made one rookie ball start. And he got rocked for 11 earned runs on 10 hits in just 2 2/3 innings. Now, sure, maybe he was working on something. But that's bad. His next outing was much better where he gave up just one run on three hits with 10 strikeouts in five innings at Double-A New Hampshire. But is that enough to say he’s ready for Big League hitting again? Now, the Tigers are bad at hitting but even bad-hitting teams can take advantage of bad pitching. And there is nowhere that Manoah was worse than in the first inning. Manoah owns an ugly 10.95 ERA, surrendering a .959 OPS in the first inning this season. So, the Tigers have a good chance to get off to a good start tonight. But they’re not the only ones. That’s because the Tigers hand the ball to Alex Faedo. The right-hander is making just his sixth start of the season and while the first four went fairly well, pitching to a 4.15 ERA, he got lit up last time out against the Texas Rangers giving up six runs on seven hits in 4 1/3 innings. Toronto has some trouble cashing in runners this season, but overall they rank sixth in batting average, ninth in OPS, and sixth in wRC+ when facing right-handed pitching this season. I’m taking a shot at Manoah not being ready to return and the Jays bats to be riding the momentum of the week’s sweep of the Chicago White Sox. Take the Over 1.5 runs in the first...

The German gambling operator, which entered the U.S. market in 2020, is reaping the benefits of a surge of interest in micro-betting. “Our live share of betting over the past year has grown from 34% to 40% and we’re certain by the end of the season that will be close to the 50% mark, especially with upcoming products and features that will aid live betting,” Tipico VP of Sportsbook Andre Zammit told Covers. “It’s extremely exciting considering you have 10-15 games every single day in baseball.” The growth of live MLB betting for Tipico has led to strong returns for the sportsbook, which is live with online betting sites in Colorado, Iowa, New Jersey, and Ohio. In May 2023, Tipico’s live betting handle reached $5.8 million — a 12% increase compared to 2022. Tipico’s total handle during May was $10.8 million across the sportsbook’s platform with 54% being live wagers. Tipico will continue to expand its reach and viability as a live betting platform with a slew of MLB markets including strikeouts, first five innings, and runs. However, Tipico expects the trend of live betting to not only impact MLB but other major professional sports leagues in America. “Live betting is growing across,” continued Zammit. “We’ve seen this in NFL, NBA, and NHL. Even in the less U.S-centric sports like soccer and tennis. But it’s incredible the growth we’ve seen in baseball.” Part of a trend Tipico’s uptick in live betting is evidence of an emerging and promising market. Last month, micro-betting technology company Simplebet secured a partnership with ClutchBet. As part of the deal, Simplebet will provide ClutchBet with micro-betting markets for the NFL, NBA, and MLB. Simplebet and ClutchBet will also offer live betting for college football and basketball. In June, Simplebet reported that its NBA micro-betting markets surged 350% year-over-year. ClutchBet is a subsidiary of BlueBet — an Australian bookmaker and online gambling operator. The sportsbook has market access in Colorado and Iowa with plans to expand its presence.

Online sportsbooks claimed $25.9 million in revenue on a handle of $218.3 million, which was down 18.4% week-over-week. However, the 11.9% hold nearly doubled from 6.1% in the previous period. It’s the highest win rate in nearly a month, but the handle is the lowest since Aug. 28, 2022. FanDuel’s weekly handle of $88.1 million went up just 1.4% and remained below $100 million for the second consecutive week. Revenue, however, jumped from $8.2 million to $11.8 million because of a whopping 13.4% hold. DraftKings more than doubled its revenue by pulling in $8.5 million on a handle of $73.8 million for the week ending July 2.

I’ve always been a firm believer that just because you’re a good handicapper, doesn’t mean you’re guaranteed to be a winning sports bettor. There are a lot of other factors involved when it comes to staying in the black other than just picking winners. One of those things is bankroll management, which is possibly the most important factor that sometimes doesn’t get enough attention. It’s taken me some time as a bettor to adhere to strict bankroll management strategies, but one that has helped me be a more profitable bettor. No bettor is the same and these rules might not apply to everyone, but these are still some very key points that anyone with a sportsbook account should be conscious of. Understanding Bankroll Management Your bankroll is the money sitting in your betting account(s). It’s your leverage. It’s your lifeline. Without it, you have no action. There is no exact science in determining your initial bankroll/deposit(s). One thing is certain, don’t be that guy that YOLO’s their entire deposit on one bet in the hopes of building up a bankroll. It’s not a profitable strategy, and it's one that builds bad betting habits. A bankroll should be big enough to support a solid duration of bet-able days and will dictate how much you’re wagering on each play. Some bettors like betting 1% of their bankrolls per bet, but even I know that is a very hard strategy to follow. A $500 bankroll can handle $25 plays which is a 5% rate per bet. That could take you through an entire season depending on your betting volume. If we look at that $500/$25 scenario, the $25 bet will be what we call a unit size — or what our regular bet amount is. This is an important term, as we use it to value our wins/losses in a relative term such as +2.5 units or -0.35 units. Bettors who bet more per wager have bigger units. Don’t get caught in a unit-size race. It’s your money. Nobody except you has to deal with the losses. Anywhere from $200 to $500 is a decent starting point for an initial bankroll, but it can also be scaled up or down if needed. The most important thing here is to bet within your means and don’t create a bankroll on money that you can’t afford to lose. When you find yourself increasing your wager size despite the bankroll not increasing, stop what you’re doing and get back to the strategy. That strategy should also include tracking your plays so you can see where your best returns are, how to evaluate success based on the results, sourcing out tools to create better value in your bets, and risk management. Tracking and ROI The best indicator of successful betting is your return on investment — or ROI. Because bettors all wager different amounts at different volumes, and at different odds, a win percentage means nothing if you’re a bettor hitting stolen bases at +800 a pop, and measuring profit with units doesn’t tell the whole story, either. However, ROI is the best indicator of success and measures how much you bet vs. how much you profited. ROI = (Profit/amount wagered) x 100 Any positive ROI is good in sports betting with great long-term bettors sitting in the 5-7% range. It’s not a sexy life scratching out 5% returns, but if you think you’re going to get a 15% ROI or more, you need a reality check. If you track all your plays, make sure you’re measuring your results in ROI. One emotional bet can wipe out week...

The Houston Astros and Seattle Mariners get an interdivisional four-game set going in Texas on Friday night. The series is the last for each before the All-Star break. Both of these teams enter tonight off a rest. The Mariners will enter this game as winners of four of the last five games. They've played much better recently, despite coming off a scoreless loss to the San Francisco Giants. Houston has started to look like, well, Houston. The Astros have won four straight games, including eight of their last 10. They are now just two games back from first in the AL West. Read on for my best bet and full MLB picks and predictions for Astros vs. Mariners on Friday, July 7. Mariners vs Astros odds Mariners vs Astros predictions In what feels like an extremely even matchup, especially when you factor in the recent strong play of both teams, we will attack what we believe has the most substantial data behind it. And while it's not something I typically do, there's value in it here. We're backing both pitchers to get off to solid starts and taking no run scored in the first inning as our best bet. Hunter Brown will take the mound for the Houston Astros, and he's coming off a start that saw him give up the most hits in a single game of his career (10). He escaped allowing just three earned runs. While that wasn't the most he's surrendered this season, it was among the worst he's pitched. With that in mind, he's a strong bounce-back candidate in this spot. In April, Brown had two starts where he allowed four earned runs. He followed each of those starts up with scoreless ones. He ended May with a five earned-run showing against the Minnesota Twins, and although he didn't respond with another scoreless start, he did start the game with a scoreless first frame. I'm backing the data more than anything, but I also like this matchup for Brown. He wants to induce soft contact and has one of baseball's highest ground ball rates. He'll get a lineup with three of the first four batters hitting into ground balls over 40% of the time. On the other side, we get Luis Castillo for the Seattle Mariners. What else can you say about him? He's in the middle of either the second-best or best season of his career. Even if things have been bumpier lately than usual and his team hasn't helped him much in the win/loss category, I fully expect him to continue that dominance tonight. I also expect that dominance to occur early. Castillo relies on overwhelming velocity and a four-seam fastball to get the job done. He will likely face Kyle Tucker, Yainer Diaz, and David Hensley out of the gate tonight. Tucker is the worry here, but if he can get past him, he'll see two players with a negative run value against the fastball. That should make the task of getting through the first inning without allowing a run a pretty straightforward one. The raw data averaged out between these two teams for a no-run scored in the first inning is 50.5%. Factoring in my projections with that number, I've priced this at -165, giving us some decent value against the line. My best bet:No run scored in first inning (-125 at bet365) Mariners vs Astros same-game parlay No run first inning Castillo Under 5.5 hits Castillo Over 18.5 outs There's a clear direction with tonight's same-game parlay. We're taking our best bet and adding some Castillo props. We're expecting a masterclass...
