Odds and Bets: Hyun-Jin Ryu Returns to Jays, Best WNBA Bets
Best Sports Bet for August 1st, 2023
Toronto Blue Jays vs. Baltimore Orioles
Baltimore is headed to Rogers Centre priced as a +105 underdog to take on the -116 favorite Blue Jays. The Jays will see Hyun-Jin Ryu starting for the first time in over a year, while the Orioles will turn to Kyle Bradish.
Baltimore earned a 4-2 win over Toronto yesterday, with Kyle Gibson starting and Chris Bassitt was credited with the loss for the Jays.
Ryu is excited to get back to work. “Obviously, the most important thing was recovery,” Ryu told press. “Trying to get back in shape was a key thing and, after that, just trying to get the pitch counts up and then innings up so I could come back to the roster.”
Best Bet: Blue Jays -116
New York Liberty vs. Los Angeles Sparks
The New York Liberty are one of the better teams this season, boasting a 19-6 record. They head west tonight to take on the 9-16 Los Angeles Sparks as 9-point favorites.
New York is 7-15-0 against the spread so far in the 2023 season, and when favored by 9 or more, their record is 4-11.
Best Bet: Sparks to cover
Las Vegas Aces vs. Atlanta Dream
The Las Vegas Aces are the very best team in the league by a long shot, with a 23-2 record so far. They’ll likely extend their 12-game home winning streak when they play host to the 14-11 Atlanta Dream, but can they go over the posted Total?
Las Vegas’ games have gone over 176 points 9 out of 21 times. The Dream’s games have gone over 176 total points 9 times out of their 20 total matchups.
Best Bet: Bet the Under
