MLB Best Bets

Philadelphia Phillies (-110) vs. Miami Marlins (-110) | 8.0 (-110/-110)

Thanks to a pinch-hit two-run bomb from Cristian Pache in the 9th last night, the Phillies picked up their fourth straight win in a 4-3 affair with the Marlins. Today’s divisional clash features a pitching matchup between Ranger Suarez and Braxton Garrett. First pitch is scheduled for 4:10 p.m. ET from LoanDepot Park in Miami, FL.

I’m riding with the Phillies in this spot today. First off, I need to say that these two teams are trending in completely opposite directions. Philly has won eight of its last 10 games, while Miami is 5-5 over the same time frame. Mix in that the Marlins just optioned the red-hot Eury Perez to conserve his innings for the future, and you have to wonder if Miami is committed to winning games this year. I mean, the future is now. You’re in second place in a respectable N.L. East, and you hold the top Wild Card spot. Why are you sending arguably your best starter to the Minors? You should be adding pieces to make a run in a National League that’s not overpowering this year (aside from the Braves). 

So, obviously, I’m not too high on Miami right now. Meanwhile, the Phillies are trending upward, and I think they’re going to take care of business again today. Philadelphia is fifth in BABIP (.321) and eighth in wOBA (.342) over the last 14 days. They also have a favorable matchup as they’re facing off against Garrett. The current roster is slashing .414/.469/.862 against the left-hander over 29 at-bats. Yes, that’s a .862 slugging percentage. Let’s roll with the Phillies today in the 305. 

Bet: Philadelphia Phillies Moneyline (-110)

WNBA Best Bets

New York Liberty vs. Seattle Storm

This game has one of the better narratives of the season. Breanna Stewart faces her old team that is struggling to find wins. The Storm has four wins and is 0-2 against the Liberty this season. Until the Storm finds their identity without Breanna Stewart, bettors will want to avoid them.

The New York Liberty might not have the best record in the WNBA, but they have the most talented roster. New York can compete with anyone. That means they have the advantage over the Storm tonight. The Liberty will continue to mesh better throughout the season, increasing their betting value. 

Bet: New York Liberty -16 Points (-110)

NBA Summer League Best Bets

Pistons vs. Magic

Nobody’s going to want to mess with the Pistons. Detroit will feature Jalen Duren, James Wiseman, Jaden Ivey, Ausar Thompson, and Marcus Sasser. That’s going to be an insane starting lineup for Detroit. Meanwhile, they’ll take on the Orlando Magic, who added 22 players to their Summer League roster. Jett Howard and Anthony Black’ll lead them. Caleb Houstan should also produce for Orlando. Chances are, someone will shine on this Magic team. We know they’ll be a very well-rested group. I’m on the Over here.

Pick: Over 186.5 (-110)
