About Last Night

Kraken force a Game 7
Everyone loves a Game 7 and we have another coming up in the NHL on Monday night after the Kraken beat the Stars 6-3 on Saturday, winning each period 2-1. We cashed our hockey player prop on the Game.

Best Bet of the Day

MLB: Boston Red Sox ML over St. Louis Cardinals
7:00 pm ET, ESPN

This Sunday Night Baseball matchup features two of the worst starting pitchers in Major League Baseball this season. Miles Mikolas of the Cardinals has posted a 5.40 ERA with a 5.99 xERA, while Boston’s Corey Kluber has posted a 6.29 ERA with a 5.73 xERA. Where the edge lies here is in the offenses and the bullpens. Boston will likely be at full strength on offense looking to avoid a home sweep and will have some high-leverage arms with great stuff available, such as Chris Martin and John Schreiber. The St. Louis pen has been worked in this series and may not be at full strength. Check out our full Cardinals vs Red Sox predictions.
