MLB Best Bets
Chicago White Sox (+188) vs. New York Mets (-225) | O/U 9 (-104/-118)
The New York Mets are just 5-8 overall in Justin Verlander's 13 starts, which is a big reason why they have been so disappointing relative to their huge payroll and preseason expectations. However, this is a home start for Verlander, which usually means good things regarding his chances for a successful outing.
Verlander allowed just two hits in his last home start against the Los Angeles Dodgers but was undone by a season-high six walks. The good news is he faces the least patient team in the Majors today, as the Chicago White Sox walk at a 6.5 percent clip. Verlander has won just twice in seven home starts this year, and the Mets have covered the runline just three times in the five wins when he has toed the rubber. But Verlander has deserved a much better fate while pitching to a 2.57 ERA and .203 OBA at Citi Field, and six of those starts were against teams over .500, so Verlander will receive a nice respite facing a White Sox lineup that ranks 27th or worse in wOBA, wRC+, and OPS against right-handed pitching this year.
Chicago has covered the runline in just 44 percent of its non-league games (11-14 record), and we are still laying the -1.5 runs with New York despite it covering the runline in just eight of 33 games as home favorites this year.
Pick: Mets -1.5 (-106)

TBT Best Bets
Show Me Squad vs. Vegas Rebellion
The Show Me Squad is the Missouri alumni. The star players for this squad are Jontay Porter at the center, Kevin Hervey at power forward, and Erick Neal at point guard. This team still has some players that didn't go to Missouri. Meanwhile, they'll take on Vegas Rebellion in Wichita. That's the UNLV alumni team. This is also their first year in the tournament. They probably don't have the height to compete against Show Me Squad. Take Show Me Squad here.
Pick: Show Me Squad -2.5 (-115)
