About Last Night
Big wins for Mets, Yankees
After losing the first two games of their series with the Braves, the Mets earned a 9-7 victory in Atlanta on Friday even though Max Scherzer gave up an uncharacteristic four runs. Meanwhile, the Yankees came back from a four-run hole against the Rays to force extra innings and then erased a three-run deficit in the 10th on a walk-off grand slam by Josh Donaldson that gave them an 8-7 win. Despite the terribly bad beat that was Rays money line, our MLB experts went 11-3 on their money line and run line picks.
In MLS, Dallas shuts out Philadelphia
Philadelphia may be the Eastern Conference leader in Major League Soccer, but home-field advantage is often an equalizer and it was just that for Dallas on Wednesday night. Dallas put the clamps down on defense and one goal was enough for a 1-0 upset. However, both Atlanta and NYFCF lost at home – to New York Red Bulls and Charlotte, respectively.
