Good morning, Pickswise Nation! It’s a smaller slate in the sporting world on this Monday, but we’ve still got plenty of baseball to enjoy, and we also have NASCAR action, so let’s get straight to making your next bet better.
About Last Night
The legend of Carlos Alcaraz grows
Sunday’s Wimbledon men’s final capped off a superb 2 weeks of tennis at the All-England Club, and it was World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz who upset 4-time defending champion Novak Djokovic in an instant classic on Centre Court to claim his maiden Wimbledon title. Our own Ricky Dimon finished off a stellar tournament of picks by going 3-1 on Sunday, plus nailing his pre-tournament future on Alcaraz at +350 odds!
Wild day of MLB action
Sunday marked the end to another eventful weekend of MLB action, and it was a solid day on the parlay front for the Pickswise handicapping team, as our expert cashed a +578 Giants vs Pirates Same Game Parlay on Peacock to start the day. Elsewhere, the Mets staved off a sweep with a win over the Dodgers, the Rockies won their series over the Yankees and the Orioles completed a sweep of the Marlins to pull within 1 game of first place in the AL East.

Today’s Slate
Fresh week of baseball is here
Today’s MLB action is headlined by a couple of mouthwatering matchups, including the Los Angeles Dodgers vs Baltimore Orioles out east. Elsewhere the Yankees travel to Los Angeles to take on the Angels, while the Rays head to Texas to take on the Rangers in what could be an ALCS preview. Be sure to read our MLB predictions.
NASCAR takes the road
After rain caused Sunday’s race to be delayed, we have NASCAR action with the Crayon 301 New Hampshire Cup today with the race set to get started at 12:00 pm ET. Check out our NASCAR Crayon 301 predictions, which includes a +6600 longshot!
Best Bet of the Day
MLB: Miami Marlins ML (+105) over St. Louis Cardinals
7:45 pm ET
I have trouble deciding on who is the most underappreciated pitcher in baseball, and while Justin Steele comes to mind, I lean toward Jesus Luzardo. The Marlins’ southpaw has been incredible this season with a 3.29 ERA and a 3.53 xERA in 19 starts while limiting hitters to just a .225 xBA. He went into the break throwing a shutout in 3 of the 4 outings, and that included against this Cardinals team. Luzardo went 6 innings and allowed only 5 hits while striking out 8 St. Louis hitters. The game ended in a huge Marlins win, and while it may not be by as big of a margin, I’m still expecting a Marlins win. Read our full Marlins vs Cardinals predictions.
