MLB Best Bets

Cincinnati Reds (+110vs. Milwaukee Brewers (-130) | O/U 8 (+100/-122)

Cincinnati Reds No. 5 prospect Andrew Abbott made history as the first pitcher since 1893 to throw five scoreless innings in his first three games. He continued to make history as the first pitcher since 1900 with 40+ strikeouts and five or fewer earned runs allowed in his first six career games, per ESPN Stats & Info

His MLB debut was a home start against the Milwaukee Brewers, in which he held them to one hit over six innings while striking out six. Since then, he has averaged ten strikeouts per start over his last six starts and faces a Brewers lineup with the highest strikeout rate (27.6%) and second-worst wRC+ (81) against left-handed pitching this year. Additionally, we expect a Reds lineup that ranks fourth in wRC+ and second in OPS since June 10 (the day they started their 12-game winning streak) to provide enough run support against Corbin Burnes. 

Cincinnati has won six of its last seven series openers and 18 of its last 21 road games against a right-handed starter. Thus, we are ignoring that it is just 8-21 over the previous 29 meetings with Milwaukee, as this year's team is rejuvenated and full of young talent.

Pick: Reds ML (+110)

WNBA Best Bets

Minnesota Lynx vs. Phoenix Mercury

This game is a tale of two teams. The Minnesota Lynx started the year off slow and has improved throughout the season. The Mercury started off the season hot and has struggled to stay healthy. That means this is a game for bettors to take advantage of the team's consistency. 

The Minnesota Lynx have won four games in a row and are better every game. Until the Mercury can prove they can win a game, the Lynx have the advantage. Napheesa Collier averages 22.6 points per game and does not look like she will slow down anytime soon. Tonight is an opportunity for bettors to bet on a team trending upward.

Bet: Minnesota Lynx Moneyline (-165)


NBA Summer League Best Bets

Pelicans vs. Timberwolves

The New Orleans Pelicans and Minnesota Timberwolves will begin their summer league journey today. The Pelicans will have their 14th overall pick, Jordan Hawkins, available. Dyson Daniels drafted 8th in 2022, will also be on the team. Those two will likely lead the Thunder, along with E.J. Liddell and Izaiah Brockington. On the other hand, the Timberwolves have a much deeper roster, including many draft picks from last year and this year on the roster. Minnesota will feature Wendell Moore Jr., Josh Minott, Matteo Spagnolo, Leonard Miller, and Jaylen Clark. Minnesota signed a lot of G-League talent to their Summer League team too. I'd be surprised if the Timberwolves looked bad to begin Summer League. Back Minnesota.

Pick: Timberwolves +1.5
