MLB Best Bets
St. Louis Cardinals (+144) at Tampa Bay Rays (-172) | O/U 8 (-115/-105)
It has not been a great few weeks for the Rays, who are 11-18 over their last 29 games and lost their lead in the American League East. Zach Eflin is a whole new pitcher in Tampa Bay after having a 4.49 ERA in seven seasons with the Phillies. He's made some positive adjustments by mixing his pitches, increasing the use of his curveball and cutter, and his sinker has gotten better with more movement.
Miles Mikolas has two All-Star seasons, but in each of the following seasons, he finished with a 4.00+ ERA. He was an All-Star in 2022 and currently has a 4.29 ERA. He's coming off a quality start against the Twins but has only been able to follow it up with another once this season.
Two excellent offenses here, and although Mikolas been better on the road, Eflin has been better at home, going 10-2 with a 2.61 ERA at the Trop.
Pick: Rays -1.5 (+128)

WNBA Best Bets
Connecticut Sun at Seattle Storm
At 20-7 on the season, the Sun is running on all cylinders, winning back-to-back games on the back of yet another triple-double by Alyssa Thomas. Seattle may be the foil to Connecticut with their 7-20 record, but are coming off a solid performance against the Phoenix Mercury, winning 97-91 after Jewell Loyd posted 32 points.
But the Sun is a much more difficult matchup. Despite this game being played in Seattle, the Storm are a mere 2-12 on their home court this year compared to Connecticut, who are 11-3 on the road. Combine that with a 9-4 ATS road record, and you can probably see where I am going here.
There has been a lot of focus on the Las Vegas Aces and New York Liberty this year, and rightfully so. But Connecticut is still a clear top-three team in the league with their premier defense. They do everything right and consistently show up.
They've had Seattle's number so far this year, beating them 93-73 in their most recent match. The Sun have won eight of their last 10 games and are playing their best basketball. While it may seem like a high number, taking the Sun and the points is the precise play.
Play: Sun -7.5
