MLB | Jun 21, 2025 Royals vs Padres |
UNDER 7½ -118 |
Won $100 |
Play Type: Top Premium | ||
Already having to bat in the best pitcher's park in the league, Royals and Padres hitters also are going to have to deal with a rare late afternoon start at San Diego's Petco Park. Game time is 4 p.m. West Coast time. That means batters also have to adjust and deal with shadows and twilight. |

WNBA | Jun 21, 2025 Mercury vs Sky |
Sky +10½ -108 at Heritage |
Lost $108.0 |
Play Type: Premium | ||
The Sky are my least favorite team in the WNBA because of their underachieving ways while featuring the classless, overhyped Angel Reese. But this is a tremendous situational spot for them. It's so strong I wouldn't be shocked if Chicago pulled the outright upset. It's a rare nationally televised game for the Sky. They've been idle since Tuesday. It's also a very early start, a negative for the West Coast Mercury. Phoenix is off its game of the year, upsetting the Liberty in New York this past Thursday. Not only are the Mercury in a letdown spot, but this marks their third road game in four days. The Mercury and Sky have played this season. Phoenix beat Chicago, 94-89, but failed to cover as 7 1/2-point home favorites on May 27. If the Mercury aren't hitting their shots, they are going to be in trouble because the Sky are the No. 3 defensive rebounding team in the league. Reese isn't a great scorer, but she's an elite rebounder. |
