LAS VEGAS -- It's Monday, June 30th and after a long weekend of sports, we're jumping right back into the action. SInce it is a Monday, there are not many options besides the MLB to take a look at, so it's Baseball all day today.
First Pick: Philadelphia Phillies Moneyline
Rundown: The Phillies are at home and sending out one of their best arms, likely Zack Wheeler, who’s been dominant all season. They've been nearly automatic as heavy favorites, winning 11 of 12 games when the odds are this tilted. Meanwhile, the Padres have struggled against elite pitching and haven’t been consistent on the road. With the crowd behind them and their ace on the hill, Philly should handle
Second Pick: New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays Over 8 Runs
Rundown: This game has serious potential for fireworks, with two dangerous offenses ready to square off. The Yankees seem to have hit their stride after a successful series against the A’s, and their lineup is clicking from top to bottom. Toronto has power all over the order and will look to jump on Carlos Rodón early, while Max Scherzer makes his debut and may not be fully settled in yet. With this much firepower on both sides, the over 8.5 runs feels like a smart play.
Third Pick: San Francisco Giants and Arizona Diamondbacks Under 8 Runs
Rundown:Logan Webb’s strong season gives the Giants the edge, but this matchup looks like a clear spot to bet the under. Both teams have struggled to score consistently, and with Webb and Ryne Nelson on the mound, runs should be hard to come by. The total is set at 8.5, and recent trends point to a low-scoring game between two offenses that haven’t been explosive. Backing the under 8.5 runs is the most confident play here.
Parlay of the Day: Seattle Mariners Moneyline and Jazz Chisolm 2+ Bases
Rundown: The Seattle Mariners have been playing solid baseball lately, especially at home where their pitching staff really steps up. They face a struggling Royals team that has had trouble scoring runs and closing out games. With strong defense and timely hitting, the Mariners look poised to take this one. Our second leg shifts over to a hitter prop with Jazz Chisolm. SInce his return from injury, Jazz has been delivering elite numbers for the Yanks. In his last 23 games since returning from injury, he has batting .328, has 6 home runs and poses a .979 OPS. Jazz is one of the hottest hitters in the game right now, so he makes this second leg very promising.
