Wise n' Shine: What you need to know to bet better on Sunday, July 17

Good morning, Pickswise Nation. We have a super Sunday of sport ahead with a great final round of the Open Championship in prospect and the final MLB slate before the all-star break, plus MLS, NASCAR and IndyCar action. Let’s get straight to making your next bet better!

About Last Night

Saturday was parlay day
Saturday brought the Pickswise team a great double win with both our mega parlay (+858 odds) and our standard Saturday parlay cashing at +451 thanks to the Twins ML, and the Astros and Dodgers on the -1.5 run lines. Even if you missed those but just tailed our single game bets, you should have had a nice day as we went 11-5 on RL/ML picks and 8-6-2 on total over/unders. It was a 1-1 day for our daily YRFI/NRFI best bets, but we’re 17-3 over the last 10 days! Paul Goldschmidt hit his 300th home run in the Cardinals’ 11-3 win over the Reds, the Blue Jays just beat the depleted Royals 6-5 in the 1oth and the Mariners made it 13 wins in a row by beating the Rangers 3-2. The Guardians and Phillies had 10-0 wins, but the Yankees did even better, blasting the Red Sox 14-1.

There’s golf, MLS, NASCAR and IndyCar too
