Dodgers Look to Sweep DBacks in NL West Battle

Dodgers Look to Expand NL West Lead

National League West division rivals, the Arizona Diamondbacks and Los Angeles Dodgers, are set to wrap up their three game series on Thursday. Chavez Ravine, and Dodger Stadium, will host the game scheduled to start at 10:10 EST.

Oddsmakers opened the Dodgers as -155-moneyline favorites versus the Diamondbacks, while the game's total opened at 7.5. The line has held pretty steady all day.

The Los Angeles Dodgers did not allow a run in the past two games against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Left-handers Clayton Kershaw and Alex Wood each threw seven shutout innings in back to back games. The first-place Dodgers beat the second-place Diamondbacks 4-3 on Tuesday and 1-0 on Wednesday. This extended their lead over Arizona to 4 1/2 games in the National League West. Another left-hander will pitch tonight for the Dodgers.

Tonights Starters Been Pitching Well

Rich Hill is on the "hill" for Los Angeles. The Dodgers left-hander has a 4.00 ERA to go along with a 5-4 record this season. Hill last pitched on Saturday against the San Diego Padres. He went seven innings and recording a career-best 11 strikeouts. He allowed only four hits in an 8-0 victory.

Left hander Robbie Ray will take the mound for the Diamondbacks to start this game. Ray is 8-4 this season with a 3.06 ERA. Ray has been one of the top strikeout pitchers in the NL this season. He has 128 strikeouts and is tied for third in the NL with Washington's Stephen Strasburg. That puts them behind Max Scherzer of the Nationals (163) and Kershaw (146).

Ray has been at his best since mid-May. He has posted a 6-1 mark with a 1.81 ERA in his past eight starts. Opponents are only hitting .173 off him in that time-frame. He has been just as good on the road. Ray owns a 4-1 mark and a 1.32 ERA.

Oddsmakers opened the Dodgers as -155-moneyline favorites versus the Diamondbacks, while the game's total opened at 7.5. The line has held pretty steady all day.

4th of July Fireworks Between Phillies and Pirates

The Phillies and Pirates face off on Independence Day, think you know who wins? Read this prediction from BetPhoenix online sportsbook

Phillies And Pirates Battle For Pennsylvania Bragging Rights On Independence Day

The Pittsburgh Pirates and Philadelphia Phillies will continue their in-state rivalry on Tuesday when the teams meet in the second game of a four game series. The game will be played at Citizens Bank Park, and is scheduled to begin at 4 PM. ET.

Philadelphia Phillies vs Pittsburgh Pirates

When: July 04, 2017, 4:08 PM ET

Where: Citizens Bank Park

BetPhoenix Moneyline: Pirates -147 vs Phillies +137

Over/Under: 8.5

Pittsburgh Pirates Team Analysis

The Pirates came into this game sitting in 4th place in the NL Central. They are five games behind the Milwaukee Brewers who lead the worst division in baseball (record wise) at this point.

Pittsburgh still has enough time for them to make up some ground. They are going to have to play better than they did in the first half of the season.

Pittsburgh came in to this series hoping to snap a three-game losing streak. The Pirates were swept at home by the San Francisco Giants over the weekend. The Giants have the second worst record in baseball.

The Pirates were outscored 20-9 by the Giants. This wasn’t surprising considering how bad the Pirates offense has been this year.

The Pirates losing streak was extended to four games on Monday. They lost the series opener to Philadelphia 4-0.

[embed]https://www.youtube.com/embed/pNZeiYTqirM[/embed]

Pittsburgh’s woes at the plate continued. The team was only able to get four hits against Phillies starter Aaron Nola. The Pirates will be hoping to turn things around on Tuesday.

For the season the Pirates have a .243 batting average. That puts them at 23rd in the league. The team has only scored 345 runs, which is 25th in the league.

The Pirates have also allowed 11 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in seven of their last 12 games.

While the team’s batting has been woeful, their pitching hasn’t been as bad. Pittsburgh’s pitching rotation has a 4.31 ERA, which is 14th in the league and 39 quality starts, which is 9th best in the league.

Pirates Analysis

Jameson Taillon will get the start for the Pirates. In 10 starts, Taillon has a 4-2 record with a 2.97 ERA.

The 25-year-old, who has been one of the few bright spots on the team this year, pitched 6.1 shutout innings against the Tampa Bay Rays in his last start.

Pittsburgh Trends

• Pirates are 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games


• Pittsburgh is 1-4 SU in its last 5 games


• The total has gone UNDER in 6 of Pittsburgh's last 7 games

Philadelphia Team Analysis

The Phillies were expected to be one of the worst teams in the league this year. Philadelphia shed a lot of big salaries in the past two seasons on aging veterans.

The Phillies have lived up to expectations and currently have the worst record in baseball.

Despite their record, the Phillies have been playing well lately and have won four of their last six games and are looking for another win after splitting their last 12 games.

Aaron Nola pitched six scoreless innings against Pittsburgh on Monday, and the bullpen kept the Pirates hitless to seal the victory.

The #Phillies beat the #Pirates 4-0 tonight. RECAP: https://t.co/V19QSpg8TP

— KDKA (@CBSPittsburgh) July 4, 2017

The Phillies are hoping to win their third consecutive game today. They won four straight at the beginning of June and that is it for streaks this season.

Phillies Pitcher Analysis

Mark Leiter Jr. will get the start for the Phillies on Tuesday afternoon. Leiter has been primarily used out of the bullpen. He will be making his third start of the year this afternoon.

Leiter is 1-0 with a 4.20 ERA for the season. He pitched six shutout innings against Arizona in his first start. Leiter allowed four runs in five innings in his last start.

Philadelphia Trends

• Phillies are 5-0 ATS in its last 5 games


• Philadelphia is 4-2 SU in its last 6 games


• Phillies are 7-18 SU in its last 25 games

Pick and Prediction

Philadelphia has been playing well lately but Taillon has been pitching very well, giving the Pirates the slight edge. Pittsburgh is the smart play.

Manny Pacquiao vs. Jeff Horn Odds and Prop Bets

Pacquiao Puts WBO Title on the Line in Australia

Manny Pacquiao, 38, will fight off of pay-per-view for the first time since 2005. He will defend his WBO Welterweight Title in the backyard of his opponent, Jeff Horn. The fight will be at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium. ESPN will broadcast the fight in the US for free starting at 9 pm EST.

The idea of fighting outside of the United States in pursuit of a larger purse isn't necessarily foreign to Pacquiao. Pacquiao who is, 59-6-2 with 38 KOs, has traveled to Macau for victories over Brandon Rios and Chris Algieri in recent years. The choice of Horn as an opponent feels like a legitimate step down in class. Especially considering how loaded the 147-pound division remains. Horn is 16-0-1 with 11 KOs.

Despite the outlier of his record-breaking 4.6 million PPV buys against Floyd Mayweather. Pacquiao's brand has been quietly on the decline for years. With HBO uninterested in promoting his last fight against Vargas, Top Rank produced it independently to the tune of "around" 300,000 buys.

That is What the Card and Prop bets look like for tonight.

Yankees have Edge on the Hill

Left hander Jordan Montgomery will take the mound for the Yankees to start this game. Montgomery is 6-4 this season with a 3.53 ERA. Montgomery finished 4-0 with a 2.59 ERA over his five starts in June. In his only appearance against the Astros, Montgomery allowed four runs on eight hits. He had only one walk with seven strikeouts over six innings in a 5-1 loss on May 12.

Montgomery's opponent in this one will be Francis Martes. The Astros right hander has a 5.51 ERA to go along with a 2-0 record this season. Martes will face the Yankees for the first time. He lasted just two innings in his last start. He allowed two runs on two hits. Martes also four walks to go with three strikeouts in the Astros' 8-2 victory over the Seattle Mariners on June 25.

Astros right-hander Charlie Morton is set to return from the 10-day disabled list next week in Toronto. Morton had a month-long rehab stint to recover from a right lat strain. Martes is the likely candidate to give up a spot in the rotation and return to Triple-A Fresno.

The Yankees are trying to make to two straight over the 1st place Astros. They pummeled the Stros' 13-4 last night.

Alouettes Travel Battle the Eskimos in CFL Week 2 Action

Eskimos and Alouettes Both Looking for Win #2

The Montreal Alouettes and the Edmonton Eskimos will both be trying to pick up win #2  tonight when they battle at Commonwealth Stadium. Both teams had thrilling wins in their opening week wins. They also took a toll on their teams with some banged up players.

Oddsmakers have the Eskimos as 9-point favorites and the total is at 53.5.

Edmonton won its last outing, a 30-27 victory against the B.C. Lions on June 24. The Eskimos covered in that game as a +4-point underdog, while the 57 combined points took the game UNDER the total. Kicker Sean Whyte split the uprights with zeros on the clock to lift the Edmonton Eskimos to the victory in Week 1. The Lions erased a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter. They tied the game up at 27 apiece with only 40 seconds left. QB Mike Reilly refused to crack under pressure. He found Brandon Zylstra on his first throw of the drive for a 76-yard gain to set up the game-winning field goal.

Alouettes are Banged up in Secondary

The Alouettes were a 17-16 winner in their most recent outing at home against the Saskatchewan Roughriders. They failed to cover the -7-point spread as favorites, while the total score (33) made winners of UNDER bettors. Darian Durant made a statement against the team that let him go in the off-season. He threw for 233 yards and two touchdowns. Wide Receiver B.J. Cunningham had a game-high 90 yards on four catches and one touchdown.

Defensive back Jonathon Mincy was named the third Shaw Top Performer for Week 1. He knocked down two passes and also intercepted another. He did this while shutting down dangerous Roughriders receiver Duron Carter. Defensive back Greg Henderson is out indefinitely with what’s been reported as a broken bone in his hand. Travis Hawkins sustained an arm injury early in the second half as well.
