We have another huge sporting Sunday ahead of us with a massive NBA Game 7 between the Heat and Celtics, a big MLB slate, French Open tennis and a landmark day of auto racing with the Indianapolis 500, NASCAR Coca-Cola 600 and the Monaco F1 Grand Prix. Let’s get straight to making your next bet better!

About Last Night

Rangers and Hurricanes going to the wire
We have another Game 7 coming up on Monday after the Rangers beat the Hurricanes 5-2 last night to set up a deciding game in Raleigh. FanDuel Sportsbook has the Rangers at +122 odds to win that game, with the Hurricanes at -146. Connor O’Brien’s player prop play of over 0.5 Mika Zibanejad goals at +175 odds cashed.

JutPicks’ MLB props hit again
JutPicks went 2-0 on Saturday’s MLB prop plays, taking his run to 11-3 in that market. Nathan Eovaldi pitched a complete game as the Red Sox beat the Orioles 5-3 in the first game of their split double-header, while the Rays ended the Yankees’ winning run with a 3-1 victory. The slate ended with a couple of upset wins for the Mariners (6-0 over the Astros) and Pirates (4-2 over the Padres).

Best Bet of the Day

Los Angeles Angels ML vs Toronto Blue Jays
4:07 pm ET, MLB Network

Jose Berrios might be the biggest disappointment in baseball right now. The supposed ace has a 4.75 ERA and a 6.70 xERA through 47.1 innings and has been a letdown as the #1 starter for Toronto. The Blue Jays have lost 3 of Berrios’ last 4 starts and although he has been better in his recent starts, he’s due for negative regression. Contrary to Berrios, LA’s Patrick Sandoval is building on his stellar 2021 season. The lefty has surpassed all expectations with a 1.78 ERA and a 3.05 xERA this year and will face a Toronto lineup that has struggled of late. Check out our full preview of Blue Jays vs Angels.
