Top MLB Matchups
Los Angeles Dodgers at Arizona Diamondbacks
The Dodgers visit Chase Field with Eric Lauer on the mound, facing Michael Soroka for the Diamondbacks. Los Angeles moneyline bettors should target FanDuel’s -116 over the worse -120 available elsewhere—a 4-cent edge on the favorite.

Athletics at Chicago Cubs
Oakland sends Gage Jump to face Jameson Taillon and the Cubs at Wrigley. Athletics underdog backers should lock in Bovada’s +110, a meaningful 5-cent improvement over William Hill’s +105. Chicago favorites will find FanDuel’s -125 preferable to Bovada’s -132. The moneyline market shows clear line shopping value here.
Pittsburgh Pirates at Houston Astros
Bubba Chandler takes the mound for Pittsburgh against Mike Burrows and the Astros. Pirates moneyline bettors should shop Unibet’s -102 as the tightest price available (versus Bovada’s -106). Houston’s moneyline runs from FanDuel’s -112 to DraftKings’ -119, another 7-cent differential worth hunting.
Colorado Rockies at Los Angeles Angels
