Best Bet of the Day
MLB: Texas Rangers -1.5 over Washington Nationals
12:05 pm ET, Peacock
The last day before the MLB All-Star break begins with a series finale between the Texas Rangers and Washington Nationals. Dane Dunning starts for the Rangers and Patrick Corbin goes for the Nationals and that immediately gives an advantage to Texas. Dunning comes into this start with a 2.61 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP, and the majority of his appearances have come as starts. Corbin was terrible at the start of the season, but then he allowed 2 or fewer runs in 4 straight starts in May. That didn’t last long, though, as he ended June with a 1-4 record and a 4.66 ERA in 5 starts. In his last outing, Corbin was shelled for 6 runs and 10 hits in just 5 innings by the Reds. Check out our full Rangers vs Nationals predictions.
