About Last Night
Fireworks across the MLB slate
Major League Baseball took center stage on America’s Independence Day, and our handicapping team was on the ball once again as we hit our MLB parlay for the second straight day! In the nation's capital, the Reds bested the Nationals, while the Padres knocked off the Angels in a thriller and the Phillies upset the Rays at the Trop.
Chestnut remains the Hot Dog king
This year’s Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest was almost cancelled due to rain, but thankfully Joey Chestnut came to the rescue and ensured it was only delayed by 2 hours. Chestnut went on to win the contest to secure his 16th title, while we comfortably cashed our best bet of Under 72.5 hot dogs consumed by Chestnut, as he was only able to down 62 in 10 minutes.
Washout at Wimbledon
Rain has been a major factor through the first 2 days at Wimbledon, especially wreaking havoc on Tuesday, as over 30 Round 1 matches were postponed until Wednesday. Among matches that started but were suspended due to rain,'Dominic Thiem'led the fifth-seeded'Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-3, 3-4 and Matteo Berrettini dropped the first set to Lorenzo Sonego.
