About Last Night
Wild night of baseball
The MLB slate on Tuesday was an eventful one, as a number of heavy favorites lost outright, including the New York Mets and Milwaukee Brewers. The Atlanta Braves were also a heavy favorite and knocked off the A’s, but failed to cover the run line. Overall, favorites still remained profitable despite some unusual results. There were four games decided in the 9th inning, including walk-off victories for the Colorado Rockies and San Diego Padres. The race for the AL East also got tighter, as the Tampa Bay Rays closed to within 4.5 games of the New York Yankees with their victory on Tuesday.
