Best MLB Bets Today
Reds vs. Nationals, 1:35PM ET
Operation: Fade Patrick Corbin is in full effect today with the Nats pitcher heading to the mound in one of the all-time ruts with Washington losing 11 straight games when he's started. While it's always a little brave to trust the Reds, starting ace Nick Lodolo (3-4, 4.35 ERA) has put together two commendable performances in over his last two outings and should do enough to hold the Nats hitters while the Cincy ones go boom on one of, if not the worst, pitchers in the MLB.
BET: Reds moneyline (-120). Want to join us in fading Corbin? Do it with DraftKings Sportsbook and get a nice bonus while doing so by clicking ➡️ here ⬅️.

Rockies vs. Mets, 1:40PM ET
Max Scherzer (9-3, 2.33 ERA) vs. Germán Márquez (6-10, 5.22 ERA) - is there really anything else we need to say here? The Mets are chasing the NL East division title and were done a favor last night by the Cardinals who came from behind to beat the Braves to extend New York's lead over Atlanta to 3 games. They really want it and their fans really want it, and they get a great chance to beat up on Márquez today. Expect a dominant show at Citi Field.
BET: Mets -1.5 (-156). Place this bet with DraftKings Sportsbook ➡️ here ⬅️!

Tigers vs. Rangers, 2:35PM ET
Detroit were ravenous in their 11-2 win over the Rangers yesterday to tie their weekend series as we head to an intriguing rubber match today. The Tigers will start as heavy underdogs today due to Drew Hutchison's numbers on the mound this season (1-7, 4.06 ERA), but if you dig a little deeper, it feels like he's close to a breakthrough. Hutchison has been much improved in his last 3 starts with an ERA of 2.93. If he keeps that number steady, we can expect around 5 innings from him before the Tigers bullpen is unleashed - another much-improved component of this outfit with a reliever ERA of 1.89 over their last five outings. They've been competitive all weekend and they are great value odds on the moneyline.
