MLS: Los Angeles FC ML over Colorado Rapids (-220)
In the lone MLS regular-season game of the night, second-placed Los Angeles FC squares off against struggling Colorado Rapids. Los Angeles FC aims to close the 7-point gap with conference leaders St. Louis City and has shown solid form by winning three out of their last five games across all competitions. While the Rapids have only secured three victories out of 23 league games this season, their defensive resilience, allowing just 30 goals, suggests a low-scoring home win could be in the cards. For a comprehensive breakdown, check out our LAFC vs Colorado Rapids predictions.
MLB: Miami Marlins vs San Diego Padres: No Runs First Inning (NRFI) (-125)
My initial pick for Wednesday’s slate centers around the NRFI market in the clash between NL playoff hopefuls, the Marlins and Padres. I previously targeted the NRFI in Tuesday’s matchup, and were successful and now we’re doubling down on this bet for Wednesday’s game. Both starting pitchers hold advantages over their opposing hitters, particularly with Sandy Alcantara back in top form, reminiscent of his Cy Young prowess. Alcantara has impressively lowered his ERA by nearly a full point in the past two months. Additionally, the Padres’ top-of-the-lineup struggles against Sandy Alcantara’s style, indicating a tough inning for the hosts. Similarly, the Marlins’ lineup faces a challenging task against Seth Lugo, who has given up just 2 runs in 4 of his last 5 outings. With these factors in mind, I expect a brisk opening inning, making the NRFI a compelling bet.
