Las Vegas - Start out with a look at Copa America and a match between Canada and Peru in Kansas City. One of the reasons that some people turn off to soccer is the lack of scoring. Not this guy, because low scores can be VERY good for the wallet. We had Under 3.5 goals in the USA/Bolivia match and are going low in the Canada/Peru match. Why? The Canucks have NOT scored a goal in their last three games. NONE. ZERO. NADA. Peru has scored one goal in its last three games. We have no issue laying the price and will take Under 3.5 total goals.

Rolling down to Texas and gonna grab the Astros with Hunter Brown over the Rockies. It's very, very, VERY strange to see Houston sitting UNDER .500 at the end of June. However, it looks like the Astros are starting to remember who they are, and have ripped off a five game winning streak. One of the reasons is Brown. The kid had a very, very, VERY rough start to 2024, managing to post only one win in his first 11 starts. That all changed on June 8 against the Angels. Hunter has won three in a row and allowed only 1 earned run over the last 19 innings. That's a 0.47 ERA and if you throw in 22 Ks, you can see why we're about to make a deposit in the Bank of Benj.
