| 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 | (977) Pittsburgh Pirates at (978) Houston Astros: Team Total | 8:10pm EDT - Jun 3/2026 |
The PLAY: Pittsburgh Pirates Total Over 4.5 (100) Action
Paul Skenes will generate the headlines any time he's on the mound, but Pittsburgh's bats have been stealing the show lately. The Pirates have scored 35 runs over the last four games, including a 10-6 win in Houston last night. Brandon Lowe, Oneil Cruz and Endy Rodríguez each hit a home run last night, and they should enjoy some more success tonight against Spencer Arrighetti. The red flags and warning signals are flashing brightly for Arrighetti, who is very fortunate to have a 7-1 record with a 1.34 ERA this season. He's done a fantastic job of limiting hard contact, but regression is likely going to be arriving in a hurry. Arrighetti's expected ERA (4.68) is nearly three-and-a-half runs higher than his actual ERA (1.34). His 13.1-percent walk rate is among the worst of all starting pitchers this season, but he’s managed to pitch around them and avoid high-scoring innings. Over his last five starts, Arrighetti has 22 strikeouts compared to 17 walks. That is a very dangerous tightrope to walk. The Pirates' lineup is hitting .257 against right-hand pitching this season (No. 5 in MLB) with a .345 on-base percentage (No. 2) and a 114 wRC+ (No. 4). The Astros' bullpen gave up four runs last night with Steven Okert, Bryan Abreu and AJ Blubaugh each throwing over 20 pitches. That unit has struggled all season and the Pirates will likely have plenty of chances to add runs in the second half of this game after Arrighetti departs.
