About Last Night
NL West race continues to heat up
There arguably isn’t a more exciting race going on in sports right now than that between the Giants and Dodgers in the battle to win the NL West. The Dodgers had to go to extra innings to get a 5-4 win over the Rockies, while the Giants left it until the ninth inning to edge past the Padres and remain one win ahead of Los Angeles in the division. With just 11 games to go, can they hold on? The Giants are -120 favorites to win the NL West with FanDuel Sportsbook; the Dodgers are +100.

Best Bet of the Day
Philadelphia Phillies -1.5 vs Baltimore Orioles
7:05 pm ET
Philadelphia is fighting for its life to make the playoffs, and it should continue that charge with a solid win over Baltimore. The Orioles have one of the worst starting pitchers in MLB on the mound in Keegan Akin, who has an eye-popping 6.93 ERA this season. The Phillies will start Zack Wheeler, who is in the middle of a career year and has given up just 2 total runs in his last 3 outings. Check out our full game preview for Phillies vs Orioles.
