MLB odds and betting insights
- It’s gone from bad to worse for the Orioles. Baltimore will now likely be without star catcher Adley Rutschman until the All-Star break. The Rangers, meanwhile, are coming off a series victory over the Pirates and are gaining ground in the AL West.
- The Mets just finished a gruelling, three-game series against the Phillies and now must prepare for the Braves. Atlanta just swept New York last week and will need a similar result if it wants to climb back into the NL East pennant race.
- Arizona has had bad injury luck this season, and now Corbin Carroll is receiving an MRI on Monday for his hand. Carroll has missed the last four games with this injury, and his absence will be missed in Monday’s series opener against the White Sox.
- Boston received plenty of criticism for the Rafael Devers trade, but the Red Sox enter Monday’s action in fine form and just a handful of games behind the Yankees for first in the AL East. The Angels, meanwhile, could use a win to keep pace in the AL Wild Card race.
