Brewers 8 – Dodgers 7
Milwaukee kept its season‑best surge alive in Chavez Ravine, running the streak to nine games and improving to 5‑0 against Los Angeles. Isaac Collins and Joey Ortiz opened the fireworks with early homers, William Contreras laced a two‑run double and the bullpen survived Shohei Ohtani’s 29th blast. Freddy Peralta wasn’t crisp (five innings, four runs) yet still earned win 12. Trevor Megill’s 23rd save sealed the club’s first perfect season series over the Dodgers since switching leagues in 1998. Sas Insider rode Brewers ML –105 overnight—leaning on Peralta’s 1.72 ERA in night starts—then live‑hedged when the lead shrank; see how to time those hedges in Line‑Movement Deep Dive.
Yankees 12 – Braves 9
New York erased a 5‑0 deficit and exploded for seven in the ninth, capped by Trent Grisham’s grand slam off Raisel Iglesias. Anthony Volpe pumped two early homers and a sac fly, Luke Weaver logged 1 ⅔ scoreless for the win, and New York snapped a three‑game slide. Atlanta wasted Ozzie Albies’ five‑RBI night and Michael Harris II’s 438‑footer. Bettors chasing live overs had a field day; review late‑inning totals volatility in How to Bet Totals.
Cubs 4 – Red Sox 1
Colin Rea authored his fourth straight victory, holding Boston to one run over six. Seiya Suzuki’s three‑run blast in the first set the tone, while Chicago’s staff limited the Sox to five hits to halt their 10‑game heater. The Cubs (59‑39) now wield MLB’s best record—evidence that balanced power and strike‑throwing sustains win streaks; refresh fundamentals in Betting MLB Moneylines.
Marlins 8 – Royals 7 (10)
All‑Star Kyle Stowers delivered two homers and five RBIs, the last a walk‑off two‑run blast in extras. Miami blew a five‑run cushion, watched rookie John Rave club his first two MLB homers (including a ninth‑inning equalizer) and still prevailed. Sas Insider cashed Marlins TT Over 4.5, citing Kansas City’s taxed bullpen. When facing uncertain late relief, consider alt‑team totals—tactics inside Squeeze the Juice.
Angels 6 – Phillies 5
Taylor Ward’s two‑run shot in the seventh pushed Los Angeles ahead for good. Bryce Harper hammered his 21st and 22nd, but seven Halos arms stitched together 12 outs after starter Zach Plesac exited. Multi‑reliever games often create in‑play swings—master them in Straight‑Bet Advantages.
Rays 11 – Orioles 1
Yandy Díaz crushed a grand slam, Junior Caminero launched his 13th and 14th homers and Taj Bradley fired six scoreless to end Tampa Bay’s four‑game skid. Chandler Simpson’s 3‑for‑4 night stretched his hit streak to 17. Heavy chalk that covers run lines is no fluke—see MLB Run‑Line Guide.
Braves 7 – Yankees 3
(Second game of day–night doubleheader.) Spencer Strider worked six dominant frames, Ozzie Albies finished a monster twin bill with a three‑run shot and four RBIs, and Ronald Acuna Jr. doubled and tripled from the three‑hole. Ian Hamilton’s one‑inning “opener” stint unraveled quickly. Those considering first‑inning markets should explore Tips to Become a Pro Bettor.

Padres 7 – Nationals 2
Manny Machado’s ninth‑inning grand slam atoned for an eighth‑inning blown lead, spoiling CJ Abrams’ two‑run game‑tying blast. Luis Arraez posted his 36th multi‑hit night, and Xander Bogaerts added two hits. Washington’s skid reached five; beware of leaning overs when an offense runs cold—breakdown inside Betting Basics & Strategies.
Blue Jays 4 – Giants 0
Chris Bassitt scattered 11 hits—every one a single—and somehow blanked San Francisco through seven. Toronto padded its AL East cushion behind George Springer’s three‑hit effort. Cluster‑luck analysis is vital when pitchers dance through traffic; see Kelly Criterion Fundamentals.
Guardians 8 – Athletics 6
Cleveland built a 7‑0 lead on David Fry’s two‑run blast and Brayan Rocchio’s pair of doubles, then sweated out a Brent Rooker/Shea Langeliers power surge.

Reds 8 – Mets 4
Austin Hays spoiled Sean Manaea’s no‑hit bid with a leadoff blast in the fourth, adding a second homer later.

Rockies 6 – Twins 4
Jordan Beck tripled, homered and nearly cycled, Ryan McMahon added his 22nd homer and Antonio Senzatela earned win 4 as Colorado clinched its first home series of ’25. Coors overs are 56‑36‑2; altitude run‑inflation math appears in Squeeze the Juice.
Diamondbacks 7 – Cardinals 3
Fresh‑called Adrian Del Castillo went 3‑for‑4 with an RBI, Brandon Pfaadt delivered seven shutout frames and Arizona rolled. Corbin Carroll tripled twice and scored twice; Eugenio Suárez supplied three hits. Ketel Marte’s burglary‑related absence didn’t slow the Snakes.
Brewers 2 – Dodgers 0 (Late)
Quinn Priester fanned 10 over six and Caleb Durbin doubled home the first run before adding a solo blast, extending Milwaukee’s streak to eight. Tyler Glasnow allowed one run in six on his second start back. Sas Insider nabbed Brewers +1.5 at -110, trusting Priester’s improved curveball metrics versus L.A.’s slumping bats; curve spin analytics are dissected in Moneyline Tips & Trends.
Mariners 6 – Astros 1
Luis Castillo blanked Houston through 6 ⅔, and Randy Arozarena plus Mitch Garver left the yard. Seattle snapped a 36‑inning home scoreless drought in the ninth but still cruised to its fourth straight win.
