Wise n' Shine: MLB picks, college baseball predictions and soccer best bets for Sunday, June 25

Good morning Pickswise Nation, and welcome to another super Sunday of sports. We have an early start to today’s MLB action and there’s also college baseball, NASCAR and soccer, so let’s get straight to making your next bet better.

About Last Night

Cubs are kings of London
The Chicago Cubs may have picked up some new fans across the pond with a convincing 9-1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals in London yesterday. We cashed our Cubs vs Cardinals SGP at +692 odds. That game went under its high total number but there was a much high-scoring game back home as the Angels crushed the Rockies 25-1 after leading 23-0 after 4 innings.

Great start to the College World Series
LSU beat Florida 4-3 in Game 1 of the College Baseball World Series which meant we cashed Saturday’s Best Bet on the game of Under 10.5 runs.

Best Bet of the Day

MLB: Texas Rangers ML over New York Yankees
2:10 pm ET

The Rangers and the Yankees will battle in the rubber match of their 3-game series today. The Rangers won the first game 4-2 before the Yankees won the second 1-0. Game 3 will be a pitchers’ duel between Nathan Eovaldi for the Rangers and Gerrit Cole for the Yankees. Eovaldi has a 2.80 ERA through 15 games with a 9-3 record while Cole has a 2.64 ERA through 16 starts with an 8-1 record. The Rangers can score runs against most teams but particularly against the Yankees. They have won 4 of their last 5 games against New York and average 6.33 runs per game against the Bronx Bombers. The Yankees have lost only 4 games with Cole pitching but those losses were against teams that can hit like the Rangers including the Rays, Blue Jays and Red Sox. Check out our full Rangers vs Yankees predictions.
