| WCUP | Netherlands to Reach the Round of 16 | 4:00pm EDT - Jun 14/2026 |
The PLAY: Netherlands to Reach the Round of 16
Soccer bettors and pundits have seemingly soured on the Netherlands heading into the World Cup because the Dutch have a pretty notable reputation of falling short in major tournament settings. Well, for all intents and purposes, that's perfectly fine for the purposes of this bet. The Dutch have enjoyed success under second-term manager Ronald Koeman, going unbeaten (six wins, two draws) in World Cup qualifying. In the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the Netherlands lost to eventual-champions Argentina in penalty kicks in the quarterfinals. In Euro 2024, the Dutch lost to England on a 90th-minute goal in the semifinals. There's nothing to be ashamed about regarding either of those results, but those shortcomings have seemingly kept expectations in the betting market at a cool temperature heading into this year's World Cup. There is a club-like feel with the Dutch squad as 15 members of the team play in the English Premier League, including several groups of teammates. Liverpool and Brighton each have a trio of players on the squad, including the defensive backbone of Virgil van Dijk and Bart Verbruggen. Navigating Group F will not be easy for the Dutch, but travel should not be an issue. The Netherlands' group stage games are in Dallas, Houston and Kansas City, which is a very comfortable route when you consider the path that some other teams are forced to take. Japan, Tunisia and Sweden will all present a challenge, but we're comfortable backing a Dutch team that hasn't lost a match in regulation since October 2024. As of May 31 Netherlands to reach the Round of 16 is available at:

| MLB | (925) Pittsburgh Pirates at (926) Houston Astros: Ryan O'Hearn Hits + Runs + RBIs | 8:10pm EDT - Jun 2/2026 |
The PLAY: Ryan O'Hearn Hits + Runs + RBIs Over 1.5 (-110) Action
Pirates' right fielder Ryan O'Hearn has quickly adapted to his new surroundings in Pittsburgh after bouncing between the Orioles and Padres last year. O'Hearn is hitting .294 with a .371 on-base percentage this season. After a brief stint on the IL at the end of May with a quad injury, O'Hearn picked up right where he left off going 2-for-4 with a home run on Sunday against the Twins. He should have another favorable matchup on Tuesday in Houston against Astros' starter Mike Burrows. The 26-year-old righty has allowed a total of five home runs in his last three starts, and he's particularly struggling with lefty bats. Lefties (like O'Hearn) are hitting .324 against Burrows this season, and Burrows has struggled to pitch at home. In five starts at Daikin Park, Burrows has a 6.92 ERA with a 1.65 WHIP. O'Hearn is hitting .302 against right-hand pitching this season with a .397 on-base percentage. Eleven of his 14 extra-base hits have come against right-hand pitching. The Astros' bullpen has allowed the second-most home runs this season, so even if Burrows has a strong start, there should be opportunities for O'Hearn to make some noise in the second half of this game.
