About Last Night
Pickswise Nation in the money on memorable MLB Monday
It was a day to remember for the Pickswise Nation when it came to baseball, as we were cashing winners left and right. Now only did we go 7-1 on ML/ATS, but we also went 2-0 on player props, cashed our +594 standard parlay, our Rays/Blue Jays same game parlay at +659, and our mega parlay at +1158! Don’t miss out on more winners and check out today’s MLB three-team mega parlay at +1047 odds.
Raiders shock Ravens
Underdogs were red hot on the NFL on Sunday and that carried over to MNF, where the Las Vegas Raiders, a 4-point dog, battled back to beat the Ravens in overtime courtesy of a Zay Jones touchdown. Baltimore is now +1800 to win the Super Bowl with DraftKings Sportsbook.
