| 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) Philadelphia Phillies at (926) Toronto Blue Jays: Brandon Marsh Bases | 7:07pm EDT - Jun 10/2026 |
The PLAY: Brandon Marsh Bases Over 1.5 (-102) Action
Toronto's Max Scherzer is scheduled to make his first start in nearly two months on Wednesday after a lengthy stint on the IL. Over the past two seasons with the Blue Jays, Scherzer has missed time because of injuries to his thumb, forearm, elbow and ankle. The 41-year-old's body is breaking down as the sun sets on his career, and he will be facing a tough lineup in his return to the big leagues. The Phillies as a whole struggled through the first month of the season, but Brandon Marsh has been the lynchpin keeping this lineup afloat. Marsh is hitting .332 this season with a 47.9-percent hard-hit rate. So far in the month of June, Marsh is hitting .419 with five extra-base hits. Marsh ranks in the bottom-10th percentile among all hitters in walk rate this season, so he only has one path toward getting on base and it involves hits. Scherzer's fastball looked good in his two rehab starts in Triple-A, but he continues to have a massive problem with home runs in the latter stages of his career. Prior to going on the IL, Scherzer allowed seven home runs in 18.2 innings pitched. He gave up a home run against the Worcester Red Sox in his last rehab start over the weekend. All seven of those home runs that he allowed earlier this season came at home at the Rogers Centre. Oddsmakers are only asking for -102 juice on a total bases prop that Marsh has cleared in six of his last eight games.
