Good morning, Pickswise Nation! Yesterday might have seemed like a quiet summer Wednesday, but it brought us the first perfect game in the MLB for more than a decade from Domingo German of the Yankees, while the Chicago Blackhawks selected a special talent in Connor Bedard with the first pick in the NHL Draft. Today we have another solid MLB slate plus PGA Tour golf and The Match featuring Steph Curry vs Patrick Mahomes, so let̵ 7;s get straight to making your next bet better.
About Last Night
Perfect day for German and our MLB Best Bets!
Domingo German’s 99-pitch perfect game helped the Yankees to an 11-0 win over the Oakland Athletics. It was also a perfect day for our 3-star plays as we went 3-0 on our Best Bets and have now cashed 5 of the last 6. Our MLB expert Keith Schmelter also went 3-0 in his MLB Best Bets article. On top of that, we cashed our MLB parlay at +473 odds.
Bedard chosen to turn around Blackhawks
Connor Bedard is tagged as the brightest prospect in the NHL since Connor McDavid (no pressure there…) and he was taken first in last night’s NHL Draft by the Chicago Blackhawks. The second pick was much more of a surprise as the Anaheim Ducks picked center Leo Carlsson 0ver Adam Fantilli, who went to the Blue Jackets with the third pick. The Avalanche are the +800 favorites for the Stanley Cup with the Blackhawks at +9000.
