Good morning, Pickswise Nation. Major League Baseball has returned from the all-star break to pick up the slack during the dog days of summer. Meanwhile, the British Open is getting ready to tee off and our previews and picks are already live. It’s a big week in the world of sports, so let’s get right to it on Tuesday and make your next bet better with Wise n’ Shine!
About Last Night
2-0 with our MLB best bets, 2-0 on YRFI/NRFI
It was a productive day at the office for Pickswise’s MLB team. We cashed both of our best bets (Dodgers ML over Orioles and Red Sox ML over A’s) and both of our YRFI/NRFI plays (NRFIs in Twins vs Mariners and Marlins vs Cardinals). Baltimore’s 8-game winning streak was snapped with its 6-4 loss to LA.
Truex triumphs in New Hampshire
The Pickswise experts also racked up wins on the NASCAR circuit when the rain-delayed Crayon 301 took place on Monday. Our best bet of Martin Truex Jr. proved to be successful, as MTJ (+650) took home the checkered flag from New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Additionally, Kevin Harvick to finish in the top 5 cashed at +140 odds.

Today’s Slate
A full 15-game MLB schedule
The MLB week continues with 15 games, plus there will be a continuation of Monday’s Giants vs Reds game that got postponed following a 2-hour rain delay in the top of the eighth inning with the score tied at 2-2. As for the normal Tuesday slate, it is headlined by a TBS-televised showdown between the Orioles and Dodgers. Don’t miss our MLB predictions.
Best Bet of the Day
MLB: Baltimore Orioles ML over Los Angeles Dodgers (-125)
7:05 pm ET, TBS
The Dodgers are starting Michael Grove, who has a 1-2 record with a 6.89 ERA. Grove’s percentiles are not at all good, as he ranks in the lower end for most categories. He currently sits in the 15th percentile for xBA, 15th percentile for xSLG, 34th percentile for K% and 45th percentile for hard-hit rate. There is no reason to doubt a talented Baltimore offense in this particular matchup. The O’s are countering with Tyler Wells, who is 7-4 with a 3.18 ERA and 0.93 WHIP. After having their 8-game winning streak snapped, count on the Orioles getting back on track today. Check out our full Dodgers vs Orioles predictions.

Quote of the Day
“It feels absolutely amazing. I’ve had a few close calls recently, so to get over the line and get this bit of confidence going into next week and the rest of the season is huge… It’s been a sort of long six months I feel since I won in Dubai. I’ve given myself tons of chances, and hopefully this win sort of breaks the seal for me.”
— Rory McIlroy after winning last week’s Scottish Open
