Sport Bet: Yesterday’s MLB Results – 2-0 and Winning Parlay!
It was a highly productive day for our MLB experts at USA Best Bet. We cashed both of our best bets (Dodgers ML over Orioles and Red Sox ML over A’s) and both of our YRFI/NRFI plays (NRFIs in Twins vs. Mariners and Marlins vs. Cardinals). Baltimore’s 8-game winning streak was snapped with a 6-4 loss to the Dodgers.
Sport Bet: NASCAR – Truex Triumphs in New Hampshire
Our best bet experts also enjoyed success on the NASCAR circuit with the rain-delayed Crayon 301 taking place on Monday. Our best bet of Martin Truex Jr. proved to be on point, as MTJ (+650) claimed victory at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Additionally, Kevin Harvick’s top 5 finish bet cashed at +140 odds.
Sport Bet: Today’s MLB – Full 15 Game Slate
The MLB action continues with a full 15-game slate today. Additionally, we’ll see the continuation of Monday’s Giants vs. Reds game that got postponed due to a 2-hour rain delay in the top of the eighth inning, with the score tied at 2-2. The normal Tuesday slate is headlined by a TBS-televised showdown between the Orioles and Dodgers. Don’t miss our MLB predictions.

MLB: Baltimore Orioles ML over Los Angeles Dodgers (-125) at 7:05 pm ET, TBS
The Dodgers will have Michael Grove on the mound, who holds a 1-2 record with a concerning 6.89 ERA. Grove’s percentiles rank in the lower end for most categories: 15th percentile for xBA, 15th percentile for xSLG, 34th percentile for K%, and 45th percentile for hard-hit rate. Facing a talented Baltimore offense, Grove may struggle in this particular matchup. The Orioles are countering with Tyler Wells, who sports a 7-4 record with a 3.18 ERA and 0.93 WHIP. After their 8-game winning streak was snapped, count on the Orioles to get back on track. Check out our full Dodgers vs. Orioles predictions.

Sports Quote of the Day
“It feels absolutely amazing. I’ve had a few close calls recently, so to get over the line and get this bit of confidence going into next week and the rest of the season is huge… It’s been a sort of long six months I feel since I won in Dubai. I’ve given myself tons of chances, and hopefully this win sort of breaks the seal for me.”
— Rory McIlroy after winning last week’s Scottish Open
