Favorite 5 Picks
WNBA: Phoenix Mercury -10.5 (-110) (Bet $110 to collect $210)
Friday, June 28, 10:00 pm ET
The Los Angeles Sparks are on a six-game losing streak and have only gone 1-9 on the road this season.
They'll be back on the road against the Phoenix Mercury, who, with a healthy roster, have a chance to get back over .500. Over the last two weeks, the Mercury have added wins over the Seattle Storm and New York Liberty at home with at least 87 points in both games.
They almost even beat the Aces on their home floor, losing 103-99. They've stuck around against the top-tier teams and have pulled out wins in most.
Now they'll take on the Sparks, who are one of the league's worst teams, especially with Cameron Brink done for the year.
Take the Mercury at -10.5 in Friday's late-night showdown.
Euro 2024: Switzerland vs. Italy Under 1.5 Goals (+160) (Bet $100 to collect $260)
Saturday, June 29, 12:00 pm ET
Over the last two games between Italy and Switzerland, the two teams combined for just two goals.
Switzerland and Italy finished 0-0 in a 2021 World Cup Qualifying match and then tied 1-1 in another qualifying match later in 2021.
In addition, Italy and Switzerland have each been held to no more than one goal in the last two games of this Tournament.
Whoever scores the first goal could decide this matchup. Take the Under at +160.
UFC 303: Anthony Smith (+120) (Bet $100 to collect $220)
Saturday, June 29 (Third -To-Last Match)
Don't take Anthony Smith's experience for granted. He's always a well-rounded fighter and ultimately has a great matchup against Roman Dolidze.
Dolidze doesn't care to wrestle much and doesn't always use leg kicks. That's usually how Smith loses fights. So, if he can escape that, he's got a legitimate chance to pull off an upset on Saturday.
He'll be the better striker when they're on their feet and could take advantage of a wild swing from Dolidze.
UFC 303: Diego Lopes (-142) (Bet $142 to collect $242)
Saturday, June 29 (Second -To-Last Match)
Diego Lopes will be the aggressor in this UFC 303 battle against Brian Ortega. While it's unlikely Lopes earns a knockout, he'll certainly land more, thanks to his accuracy.
Lopes has landed 58 percent of his attempts, while Ortega has landed just 38 percent of his striking attempts.
In addition, Lopes has been hit less than Ortega per minute and has a 42 percent takedown defense. That'll come into play since Ortega averages about 1 takedown per 15 minutes in the octagon.
Take Lopes to get the win.
Euro 2024: England (-240) (Bet $240 to collect $340)
Sunday, June 30, 12:00 pm ET
England hasn't played its best in Euro 2024. However, they're still favorites to win the tournament at +350 odds. England got a solid draw and has an easier road than many of the other top teams.
That said, they'll take on Slovakia in the Round of 16. Slovakia is ranked 45th in the world. Ultimately, England needs to turn it up a notch and earn a big win to give them momentum heading into the Quarter Final.
