MLB:

Philadelphia Phillies vs. Miami Marlins: Andrew Painter takes the mound for the Phillies with a challenging 1-7 record and 6.43 ERA, as the team has struggled mightily in his starts, losing every outing since mid-April with the exception of one solid performance against the Reds. Painter has been hit hard in recent home and road starts alike. Facing him is Sandy Alcantara for the Marlins, who sports a 6-4 record and 4.25 ERA but has shown improvement in June with strong recent outings, including road wins and limited earned runs. The Marlins have taken two of three against the Pirates and are motivated to avoid a sweep after dropping the first two games of the current series. Matt weighs the pitching matchup, recent team form, and situational angles in this even-money spot. He takes a position on the Moneyline.

Washington Nationals vs. Kansas City Royals: In the finale of this series, the Nationals have already taken the first two games. Luis Severino (corrected from transcript) faces off against Zack Littell in a matchup featuring two pitchers with elevated ERAs around 5.30-6.19. The Royals have struggled on the road and are trying to avoid a sweep, while the Nationals have been a strong over team at home. Both offenses have shown the ability to produce, with recent series games going over and bullpen usage in play for an afternoon start. Matt anticipates a high-scoring affair given the starters, venue, and trends. He takes a position on the Game Total.

Futures Market: With the 2026 US Open teeing off tomorrow at Shinnecock Hills, Matt dives into the storyline around Scottie Scheffler, who is in prime form and pursuing the career Grand Slam on a brutally difficult, fast, and firm course where over-par scores are expected to win. He discusses the tournament setup, wind and green conditions, and why the top player stands out in a major championship environment. He takes a position on the Futures Market.

Player Prop: In the Nationals-Royals contest, Matt highlights C.J. Abrams’ role as the catalyst for the Washington offense. After a quiet stretch without scoring in the last two games, Abrams has a strong history of production and run-scoring in high-output contests. With expectations of offense in this matchup and favorable pricing, this stands out as a high-confidence spot per the Prop Bet Cheat Sheet. He takes a position on the Player Prop.
