Sunday Betting Preview
Sunday’s betting board features one of the deepest cards of the baseball season with all 30 Major League Baseball clubs in action alongside a pair of WNBA contests and two FIFA Women’s World Cup Round of 16 matches. It is a day that offers opportunities for favorites, live underdogs, totals and player props, with several respected handicappers finding value from different angles.
Today’s Morning Show panel featured Tony T, Ron Hahn, Chris Adkins, Jevon Jones and Al Ninos. As always, the live audience contributed several strong betting opinions throughout the broadcast, producing another valuable consensus report that blends professional handicapping with market sentiment.
The betting market opened with several notable line moves. Washington drew early money against Pittsburgh, Atlanta continued to attract support following its recent surge, and injury news in the WNBA forced significant movement in the Indiana-Las Vegas matchup after both Caitlin Clark and A’ja Wilson were ruled out.
Below is every featured game from the Morning Show, complete with betting odds, professional analysis, and consensus selections.
National League East Showdown
New York Mets at Atlanta Braves
Time: 12:35 PM ET
TV: Peacock
Odds
- Moneyline: Braves -120 | Mets +100
- Run Line: Braves -1.5 (+155)
- Total: 9
The Braves enter Sunday’s matchup riding one of their hottest stretches of the season after another offensive explosion on Saturday. Atlanta has become one of baseball’s best teams inside the division, while New York continues searching for consistency away from Citi Field.
Martin Perez has quietly been outstanding at Truist Park, carrying a strong home ERA while consistently limiting hard contact. Nolan McLean has flashed upside for New York, but he’ll face one of the league’s hottest lineups in difficult hitting conditions despite only a modest crosswind.
Chris Adkins expects the scoring pace to slow considerably from Saturday’s slugfest but still believes Atlanta’s pitching advantage and current form make the Braves the correct side.
Tony T also sided with Atlanta, pointing to the Mets’ poor road production and the Braves’ outstanding record inside the NL East. Atlanta has consistently produced better slugging numbers at home while New York has struggled to generate quality offense away from home.
Ron Hahn agreed with the Atlanta side, while Morning Show Chat overwhelmingly backed the Braves, with several viewers also recommending the Braves Run Line.
Morning Show Consensus: Braves Moneyline
National League at American League
Pittsburgh Pirates at Washington Nationals
Time: 1:35 PM ET
Odds
- Moneyline: Nationals -115 | Pirates -105
- Run Line: Nationals +1.5 (-180)
- Total: 9.5
Washington became one of Sunday’s biggest line movers after early support arrived for the Nationals behind veteran Miles Mikolas.
Chris Adkins believes Bubba Chandler’s command issues remain concerning, making Washington attractive despite the market movement.
Tony T was less enthusiastic after the line adjustment, noting that much of the betting value disappeared after the opener. While acknowledging Chandler’s inconsistency, he preferred passing rather than chasing the move.
Morning Show Chat leaned toward Washington throughout the discussion, making the Nationals one of the more popular public selections of the opening slate.
Morning Show Consensus: Nationals Moneyline (Slight Lean)
Interleague Matchup
Cincinnati Reds at Baltimore Orioles
Time: 1:35 PM ET
Odds
- Moneyline: Orioles -105 | Reds -105
- Run Line: Orioles -1.5 (+160)
- Total: 9.5
This game opened as one of Sunday’s true coin-flip contests.
Kyle Bradish receives the nod for Baltimore against Nick Lodolo, and both Chris Adkins and Al Ninos believe Baltimore owns the superior starting pitching matchup.
Chris expects Baltimore’s lineup to capitalize against Lodolo while Bradish keeps Cincinnati under control long enough for the Orioles bullpen to finish the job.
Al Ninos echoed that opinion, calling Baltimore one of the better values on Sunday’s card given the nearly even moneyline.
Tony T elected to stay away after the market settled into a true pick’em, although he acknowledged Baltimore’s starting pitching edge.
Morning Show Chat produced a slight lean toward the Orioles.
Morning Show Consensus: Orioles Moneyline
American League Central Matchup
Minnesota Twins at New York Yankees
Time: 1:35 PM ET
Odds
- Moneyline: Yankees -127 | Twins +107
- Run Line: Yankees -1.5 (+145)
- Total: 8.5
Minnesota stole Saturday’s game and returns behind Joe Ryan looking for another upset.
Al Ninos believes Byron Buxton’s return continues to strengthen Minnesota’s offense while New York remains without several key contributors.
He likes the Twins both First Five Innings and Full Game, trusting Joe Ryan to neutralize a Yankees lineup that has lacked consistency recently.
Chris Adkins passed on the game entirely, while Tony T also preferred staying away after Saturday’s result.
Morning Show Chat showed modest support for Minnesota.

Morning Show Consensus: Slight Lean – Twins
American League Central
Cleveland Guardians at Chicago White Sox
Time: 2:10 PM ET
Odds
- Moneyline: Guardians -136 | White Sox +116
- Run Line: White Sox +1.5 (-165)
- Total: 8
Chicago received encouraging news after moving Erick Fedde into a bulk role, creating optimism surrounding the pitching plan.
Chris Adkins believes the White Sox offense can handle Tanner Bibee and took Chicago as one of his stronger underdog plays.
Tony T agreed, citing Cleveland’s ongoing struggles against right-handed pitching and the Guardians’ disappointing home profitability throughout the season.
Morning Show Chat also featured several White Sox supporters, making Chicago one of Sunday’s more popular value underdogs.
Morning Show Consensus: White Sox Moneyline
National League Central Rivalry
St. Louis Cardinals at Chicago Cubs
Time: 2:20 PM ET
TV: Marquee Sports Network
Odds
- Moneyline: Cubs -147 | Cardinals +125
- Run Line: Cardinals +1.5 (-165)
- Total: 8
The Cardinals have completely frustrated Chicago in this series and arrive on Sunday with another opportunity to cash as an underdog. Matthew Liberatore takes the mound against Javier Assad in a matchup that several Morning Show handicappers believe favors the value side rather than the favorite.
Chris Adkins is staying with St. Louis after watching the Cardinals dominate Saturday’s contest. Chicago’s offense failed to generate any momentum, and Chris believes the current market continues to overvalue the Cubs despite the recent results.
Tony T also backed St. Louis, pointing to the Cardinals’ outstanding performance as road underdogs this season. Their offense has been one of the hottest in baseball over the past month while the bullpen has quietly developed into one of the more reliable late-game units in the National League. Chicago remains dangerous offensively, but laying this type of price against a red-hot divisional opponent offers little betting value.
Morning Show Chat echoed those opinions. Bakari, Kendrick Molo and several viewers all backed St. Louis, while only a handful of chat members stayed loyal to the Cubs.
Morning Show Consensus: Cardinals Moneyline
American League Interleague Matchup
Philadelphia Phillies at Kansas City Royals
Time: 2:10 PM ET
Odds
- Moneyline: Phillies -135 | Royals +115
- Run Line: Phillies -1.5 (+135)
- Total: 10
Aaron Nola returns to the mound as Philadelphia attempts to avoid another disappointing performance against a struggling Kansas City club.
Chris Adkins believes Philadelphia is the correct side but considers the moneyline too expensive to recommend officially. Tony T agreed, saying the market has inflated the Phillies beyond acceptable betting value despite Kansas City’s recent offensive struggles.
Al Ninos took a different approach by attacking the total. He expects both starting pitchers to allow scoring opportunities and believes the offenses can push this game Over despite a slight breeze blowing in from the outfield.
Morning Show Chat remained divided, although Ron Hahn leaned toward Philadelphia while several viewers looked for Kansas City to finally break through at home.
Morning Show Consensus: Lean Phillies | Best Value: Over 10
American League Matchup
Detroit Tigers at Texas Rangers
Time: 2:35 PM ET
TV: MLB Network (Regional)
Odds
- Moneyline: Tigers -116 | Rangers -104
- Run Line: Rangers +1.5 (-190)
- Total: 7.5
This matchup features one of the day’s strongest pitching projections.
Casey Mize continues to provide quality innings for Detroit while Kumar Rocker looks to build consistency for Texas. Both handicappers expect the starting pitching to control the pace.
Chris Adkins made the Under his favorite wager on this matchup, believing both offenses will struggle to manufacture enough scoring chances to threaten the posted total.
Tony T agreed completely, noting Detroit’s bullpen continues to perform well while Texas has produced inconsistent offensive numbers over the past several weeks.
Morning Show Chat offered little resistance, with the Under becoming one of the strongest consensus totals of Sunday’s slate.
Morning Show Consensus: Under 7.5
American League Matchup
Tampa Bay Rays at Houston Astros
Time: 2:10 PM ET
Odds
- Moneyline: Rays -120 | Astros +100
- Run Line: Rays -1.5 (+150)
- Total: 8.5
Houston snapped Tampa Bay’s winning streak on Saturday, but several Morning Show handicappers expect the Rays to respond immediately.
Chris Adkins likes Tampa Bay behind Griffin Jax, believing the Rays own advantages both offensively and on the mound.
Al Ninos shares that opinion. Although Houston starter Peter Lambert has pieced together respectable overall numbers, Al believes Tampa Bay’s lineup eventually breaks through after Saturday’s setback.
Tony T strongly agreed, pointing to Houston’s recent offensive decline. The Astros have struggled to generate consistent traffic on the bases while Tampa Bay continues producing quality at-bats against both right-handed and left-handed pitching.
Morning Show Chat also leaned heavily toward the Rays, making Tampa Bay one of Sunday’s strongest consensus selections.
Morning Show Consensus: Rays Moneyline
National League West
San Francisco Giants at Colorado Rockies
Time: 3:10 PM ET
Odds
- Moneyline: Giants -115 | Rockies -105
- Run Line: Rockies +1.5 (-180)
- Total: 13
Another Coors Field matchup carries one of the highest totals of the day, and opinions varied between attacking the side or the total.
Chris Adkins grabbed Colorado as a home underdog, believing the Giants continue to be overpriced away from San Francisco.
Tony T agreed. Tyler Mahle has struggled on the road this season, while San Francisco has failed to reward bettors consistently as a road favorite. Colorado’s bullpen has certainly been unreliable, but laying road chalk with a Giants club that has produced poor road returns remains difficult to justify.
Al Ninos instead targeted the total, expecting both starting pitchers to surrender plenty of hard contact in hitter-friendly conditions.
Morning Show Chat largely sided with Colorado, while several viewers also backed the Over.
Morning Show Consensus: Rockies Moneyline
Consensus Total: Over 13

National League Matchup
Milwaukee Brewers at Arizona Diamondbacks
Time: 4:10 PM ET
Odds
- Moneyline: Brewers -118 | Diamondbacks +100
- Run Line: Brewers -1.5 (+155)
- Total: 9
Milwaukee enters the finale looking to complete another strong road performance, but Arizona remains a dangerous club when Eduardo Rodriguez is pitching well.
Chris Adkins elected to stay away from the side, while Al Ninos found value in the Diamondbacks early in the game. He prefers Arizona in the First Five Innings, believing Rodriguez gives the Diamondbacks the starting pitching edge before the bullpen becomes a concern.
Tony T acknowledged Arizona’s bullpen issues, which have repeatedly cost bettors late in games this season. While Rodriguez has shown flashes of quality, trusting the Diamondbacks over nine innings has become increasingly difficult.
Morning Show Chat was split almost evenly, although several viewers liked Eduardo Rodriguez to record the winning decision at attractive plus money.
Morning Show Consensus: Diamondbacks First Five Innings
Interleague Matchup
Miami Marlins at Athletics
Time: 4:05 PM ET
Odds
- Moneyline: Athletics -117 | Marlins -103
- Run Line: Athletics -1.5 (+150)
- Total: 10
One of Sunday’s highest projected scoring games takes place in Sacramento as Eury Perez squares off against Gage Jump.
Chris Adkins immediately attacked the total, expecting another offense-friendly afternoon. The warm conditions combined with two inconsistent starting pitchers create an attractive Over opportunity.
Tony T completely agreed. Perez has struggled away from Miami while Jump has allowed consistent hard contact throughout the season. Both bullpens have shown signs of fatigue recently, making late scoring a strong possibility.
Al Ninos approached the game differently by backing the Athletics in the First Five Innings. He believes Oakland owns the early pitching advantage but does not trust its bullpen enough to recommend the full game.
Morning Show Chat featured opinions on both sides but generally leaned toward a high-scoring contest.
Morning Show Consensus: Over 10
Alternative Play: Athletics First Five
American League Matchup
Toronto Blue Jays at Seattle Mariners
Time: 4:10 PM ET
Odds
- Moneyline: Mariners -123 | Blue Jays +103
- Run Line: Mariners -1.5 (+160)
- Total: 7.5
Seattle exploded offensively on Saturday, but Sunday’s pitching matchup projects much differently.
Chris Adkins expects both Emerson Hancock and Travis Savage to keep hitters under control. Rather than chasing another offensive outburst, he expects a traditional pitcher’s duel.
Tony T shares that opinion. Toronto has cooled considerably at the plate over the past week while Seattle’s bullpen continues ranking among the American League’s most dependable relief units. Those factors point toward another low-scoring afternoon.
Al Ninos also joined the Under, making this one of the day’s strongest unanimous totals among the handicappers.
Morning Show Chat supported the Under as well, with several viewers specifically recommending the First Five Under.
Morning Show Consensus: Under 7.5
National League West Showdown
San Diego Padres at Los Angeles Dodgers
Time: 7:10 PM ET
ESPN Sunday Night Baseball
Odds
- Moneyline: Dodgers -205 | Padres +170
- Run Line: Dodgers -1.5 (+105)
- Total: 9.5
Los Angeles enters Sunday as the biggest favorite on the board while San Diego attempts to halt one of its worst stretches of the season.
Chris Adkins expects offense. Both starting pitchers have been vulnerable throughout the year, and favorable hitting conditions should create another entertaining Sunday Night Baseball matchup.
Al Ninos also backed the Over, citing inconsistent starting pitching and two lineups capable of producing crooked numbers.
Tony T looked instead toward the Dodgers on the Run Line. San Diego continues to struggle against right-handed pitching, while its overworked bullpen has become a growing concern following repeated short outings from the starting rotation.
Morning Show Chat overwhelmingly faded San Diego. Multiple viewers backed the Dodgers Run Line while others predicted another difficult night for the Padres’ pitching staff.
Morning Show Consensus: Dodgers Run Line
Consensus Total: Over 9.5
American League Matchup
Boston Red Sox at Los Angeles Angels
Time: 9:38 PM ET
Odds
- Moneyline: Red Sox -165 | Angels +145
- Run Line: Red Sox -1.5 (+110)
- Total: 8
Boston closes the Sunday schedule with Ranger Suarez taking the mound against an Angels offense that continues searching for consistency.
Chris Adkins expects a slow-paced, pitching-dominated contest. Suarez has quietly delivered one of the National League’s most consistent seasons, while Los Angeles continues to rank near the bottom of the league in several offensive categories.
Tony T also landed on the Under. Although Boston deserves to be favored, laying this type of road price offers limited value. Instead, the stronger angle comes from trusting both pitching staffs to keep scoring under control.
Al Ninos leaned toward Boston on both the Moneyline and Run Line but agreed the Red Sox are becoming expensive in the betting market.
Morning Show Chat also favored Boston, with numerous viewers laying the run and a half.
Morning Show Consensus: Red Sox Moneyline
Consensus Total: Under 8
WNBA Betting Preview
Dallas Wings at Toronto Tempo
Time: 3:00 PM ET
Odds
- Spread: Toronto +5.5
- Total: 184.5
The expansion Tempo continue to prove they are much more competitive than many expected entering the season.
Toronto enters Sunday’s matchup playing improved basketball on both ends of the floor while Dallas has failed to cover six consecutive games.
Chris Adkins likes the points with Toronto, citing the Wings’ poor road ATS record and Toronto’s ability to compete at home against quality opponents.
Tony T strongly agreed. The Tempo continue shooting the basketball at a high level while Dallas has struggled defensively during its recent skid. Toronto’s improving defensive numbers combined with its efficient offense make the home underdog attractive.
Morning Show Chat also leaned toward Toronto while several viewers preferred the Over, expecting another fast-paced offensive contest.
Morning Show Consensus: Toronto Tempo +5.5
Indiana Fever at Las Vegas Aces
Time: 7:00 PM ET
Odds
- Spread: Aces -3
- Total: 181
This game changed dramatically after injury reports ruled both Caitlin Clark and A’ja Wilson unavailable.
The betting line immediately dropped several points, creating uncertainty throughout the marketplace.
Tony T elected to stay away from the side after the adjustment, explaining that the injury news removed virtually all betting value. Both clubs lose their franchise centerpiece, making pre-injury power ratings largely irrelevant.
Chris Adkins also passed on the matchup, while Morning Show Chat leaned toward the Under because of the missing offensive firepower.
Morning Show Consensus: Pass
Lean: Under 181
Morning Show Chat Consensus Picks
The live Morning Show audience once again produced several valuable betting opinions that closely aligned with many of the professional handicappers. Throughout the broadcast, Braves supporters consistently appeared in the chat, with Atlanta emerging as one of the day’s strongest public sides. The Cardinals also generated significant support as bettors continued to fade the Cubs following St. Louis’ dominant series performance.
Several viewers also identified the White Sox as one of Sunday’s best underdog opportunities, agreeing with both Chris Adkins and Tony T that Cleveland continues to struggle against right-handed pitching.
The Rays attracted heavy support after Saturday’s loss, with bettors expecting Tampa Bay to bounce back behind Griffin Jax. Colorado also became a popular home underdog selection, particularly among bettors looking to fade San Francisco’s poor road performance.
The Dodgers Run Line emerged as one of the strongest late-game plays discussed by the audience, while many viewers also preferred the Mariners-Blue Jays Under and the Tigers-Rangers Under.
The WNBA discussion produced strong support for Toronto Tempo plus the points, while the Fever-Aces matchup became largely a pass after the injury announcements involving Caitlin Clark and A’ja Wilson.
