MLB Best Bets
Los Angeles Dodgers (-126) vs. New York Mets (+108) | O/U 8.5 (-112/-108)
The New York Mets’ records by splits against right-handed and left-handed pitchers say it all about their struggles against southpaws. The Mets are ten games under .500 (10-20) against left-handed pitchers compared to four games over .500 against righties (32-28). They rank 27th in BABIP and 20th in OPS and wOBA against left-handed pitching, which has us encouraged about Julio Urias’s chances for success, given that he has three quality starts in his last six outings.
We also expect more brilliance at Citi Field from Justin Verlander, as he has a 2.19 ERA (seventh-best in the majors) and 1.08 GO/AO ratio at home versus a 5.18 ERA and 0.46 GO/AO ratio on the road. Bettors who have wagered on the Over in every Mets’ game this season would be down -16.80 units with a -19% ROI, and we expect another low-scoring battle between two pitchers who have been fixtures in the Cy Young voting in recent years.
Pick: Under 8.5 (-108)

NBA Summer League Best Bets
Clippers vs. 76ers
The Clippers have been playing tremendous defense in the Summer League. They’ve won their last two games while allowing 70 and 74 points, respectively, in the previous two games. Xavier Moon added 16 points for the Clippers in an 83-74 win. Jason Preston and Kobe Brown each added a double-double. The Clippers have a great defense and are balanced with production in the box score. Meanwhile, the 76ers have allowed at least 99 points in all three games they’ve played in the Summer League. Jaden Springer and Terquavion Smith continue to excel, along with Javonte Smart. But the defense hasn’t done too well. Still, I like Philadelphia’s ability to out-score the Clippers.
Pick: 76ers +1.5 (-110)
