If you would like to bet on one of the baseball games, you might want to look into some prop bets as opposed to just a simple moneyline bet. Predicting the winner of an individual baseball game is hard, no matter how lopsided the matchup looks. It might be better to wager on a pitcher to strike a certain number of batters out or a player to record a hit.
This strategy could be used for the CWC games, too. Prop bets could be more favorable when it comes to finding one that has a high likelihood of winning.
No matter the market you choose, wait for your bet to settle once you place it. If you win, you will receive $150 in bonus bets that will be valid for the next week.

MLB General Managers Believe Phillies Will Trade Nick Castellanos
MLB General Managers Believe Phillies Will Trade Nick Castellanos originally appeared on Athlon Sports. If the Philadelphia Phillies have an opportunity to move on from Nick Castellanos, it feels like something Dave Dombrowski has to do. Advertisement Castellanos is a decent player, but considering he still has $ 20 million per year on his contract through 2026 and is no longer the same player he was with the Cincinnati Reds, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Phillies cut ties with him if they have the opportunity. According to Jim Bowden of The Athletic, multiple general managers around the league think it's possible that he could be moved before July 31. "The Castellanos rumors just never go away, and for that reason alone, multiple GMs think there's a chance he could get moved if Philadelphia can find a better right-field option," wrote Bowden. "Castellanos, 33, is hitting .282 with 10 home runs and a 111 OPS+. He's a well-below-average outfielder and is signed through 2026 at $20 million per year, so Philadelphia would have to pay down his contract to move him." Advertisement Philadelphia Phillies right fielder Nick Castellanos (8)Credit: Brett Davis-Imagn Images If Castellanos were to get traded, finding the perfect package in return would be tough. A veteran big leaguer going for prospects at this stage doesn't make sense for the Phillies. However, Castellanos only makes sense on a contending team. Perhaps a contending team would be willing to send a few bullpen arms or something, but even then, that seems very unlikely given the circumstances here. That'll be up to Dombrowski to figure out, but it's interesting to hear that general managers around the league think it's possible that he could be traded.

Braves lose to ex-teammate Charlie Morton, who would certainly help them now
ATLANTA — The Braves didn't need a 41-year-old former teammate to underscore how woeful their offense is this season, but Charlie Morton did precisely that Friday. Morton blanked the Braves until Drake Baldwin's two-run homer in the sixth inning, and the Baltimore Orioles never trailed in a 3-2 series-opening win at Truist Park that sank Atlanta deeper in the standings with the trade deadline looming. Advertisement 'I see him pumping 97s and still spinning the ball,' Braves manager Brian Snitker said, referring to Morton's top-end fastball velocity, and a curveball he threw 43 times to induce 28 swings including 12 whiffs. 'I know he had the rough start (to the season) … but he looked just like he did here the last few years.' It's not clear the Braves will be sellers at the deadline for the first time in a long time, and they don't have much to sell in the way of players on expiring contracts that contenders might want. If they do manage to go on a run in the next few weeks and become buyers at the deadline, though, the Braves could do a lot worse than bringing back clubhouse favorite Morton based on his recent work, including Friday. Against his former team, he allowed six hits, two runs and one walk and had seven strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings. Charlie Morton at 41 years old spun this curveball to Ronald at 3459 RPMs, the highest spin rate on a CB in his career in the Statcast Era (2015). — CJ (@CJNitkowski) July 4, 2025 Morton struggled early this season and moved to the bullpen briefly, but since his return to Baltimore's rotation, Morton is 5-0 with a 2.97 ERA in seven starts. He outpitched his close friend and protege Spencer Strider, who gave up three runs on a pair of homers in six innings Friday. Strider has stayed in contact with Morton and knows all about the veteran's early season issues and recent turnaround. 'Yeah, of course,' Strider said, smiling. 'He's somewhat of an elusive creature, so our texts don't look like normal conversation. But he's the best guy I know. I can hardly talk about him, it just makes me emotional not having him around. It's cool to pitch against him, say 'hey' to him walking across the field before the game. 'I wish we could have beat him, but I'm really happy for how he's doing now. Good pal.' Advertisement Over his last four seasons with the Braves, Morton was 45-34 with a 3.87 ERA and was the only Atlanta pitcher to make at least 30 starts each season. The Braves didn't make any real effort to re-sign Morton, who went 8-10 with a 4.19 ERA in 30 starts last season and briefly mulled retiring. He was surprised not to get an offer from Atlanta as the offseason wore on, and ended up signing a one-year, $15 million contract with Baltimore in early January. Morton looked his age early this season, going 0-7 with a 9.38 ERA in his first nine games (six starts) while allowing 44 hits (eight homers) and 22 walks in 31 2/3 innings. He lost his rotation spot and worked to figure out what was causing issues with his command and the spin rate of his vaunted curveball. After adjustments in his delivery and timing, he improved and rejoined the rotation. The Braves wanted to beat him Friday, but they're all pulling for Morton when he's not facing them, no one more so than Strider. The young flamethrower used to have long conversations with Morton during spring training and throughout the season, about baseball sometimes but even more about life. '(He's impacted me in) countless ways,' Strider said. 'It's hard to think of anybody that sets a better example for what it looks like to just be a professional, a father, a leader, a teammate. Just any way you want to describe him, he's just a quintessential example. A guy that loves the game.' Strider elaborated on something he said sets Morton apart. 'When I think of, when I was as a kid, what it must have been like to be a major league baseball player, carrying that dream and that vision of what major league baseball felt like when you were young — he's somebody that still has that at his age at this point in his career,' Strider said. 'He seems connected with what that was as a kid. I don't know that that's something that many guys maintain, unfortunately. Early on in my career, he demonstrated that relationship with the game, and I think that that is something that is pretty special.' Advertisement Strider (seven hits, one walk, six strikeouts) gave up homers Friday to Jordan Westburg, on a 1-0 fastball left over the middle with two out in the third inning, and Cedric Mullins, whose two-run shot in the fifth connected with a hanging breaking ball. At this point, Strider is the last man standing from what observers expected would be a formidable Braves' starting trio for the stretch drive. The pitching lineup is now far from formidable, with a healthy top three of Strider, Grant Holmes – one of the only Braves besides Baldwin who's met or surpassed expectations – and Bryce Elder. Then it's fill-in-the-blank, with 20-year-old Didier Fuentes overmatched but likely to stay in the rotation for now. After him, it's anyone's guess who is up next. Atlanta plans to use left-hander Aaron Bummer as the opener in a bullpen game Saturday against the Orioles. Sale has been out two weeks with a fractured rib cage and Schwellenbach joined him with a fractured elbow this week. It's likely Sale will return by September, but there's no certainty Schwellenbach will pitch again this season. If the Braves aren't playing a lot better soon, there will be no reason to push his return. Elder, third starter by default, is 2-6 with a 5.92 ERA including a 12.64 ERA in his past four starts. The Braves would've sent him down already if they had better options, but four of their top five starters are on the injured list. If the Braves have been the NL's biggest underperformer this season, Baltimore has that distinction in the AL. The Orioles are last in the AL East, the Braves are fourth in the NL East, and both are 11 1/2 games behind. The Braves trail even the Miami Marlins in the division and NL wild-card standings, where Atlanta sits ninth. They have an urgent need in the rotation and perhaps would consider turning to a veteran they know would make a seamless transition to their clubhouse. At this point, Morton could be more valuable to the Braves than to Baltimore. Advertisement Morton had a 3.34 ERA in 2021 with 216 strikeouts in 185 2/3 innings, then made four postseason starts, including the World Series Game 1 win at Houston, when a line drive fractured his shin. He somehow managed to stay in the game to get two more outs. Switch-hitting Jurickson Profar hit a home run from each side of the plate in his first games back with the Braves on Wednesday and Thursday. The veteran offered some perspective when a TV reporter asked if he'd been able to start with a 'clean slate' since he wasn't around for nearly three months of Atlanta's offensive struggles. 'I think a lot of the (reason for the) struggles is on me,' said Profar, who served an 80-game PED suspension that began four games into the season. 'But I'm here now and I'm going to do everything in my power to help us win.' Profar was the Braves' only significant free-agent signing last winter, and they were counting on him to play left field every day and to bat leadoff until Ronald Acuña Jr. completed his year-long rehab from knee surgery. All that went out the door when Profar received that unpaid suspension from MLB. The Braves have struggled at multiple positions this season but none as much as left field, where they ranked last in the majors with a collective .207 average and two homers before Profar returned. He helped beat the Los Angeles Angels 8-3 with his homer and a key single in his first game back Wednesday, and his ninth-inning homer was their only run in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Angels. Friday was less productive. Profar struck out with a runner on to end the first inning, then struck out with two runners in scoring position for the second out in the third inning, when it was still a one-run game and he had a chance to at least tie it by putting the ball in play. Advertisement The Braves also failed to score after putting two on with none out in the second inning, with Ozzie Albies striking out and Michael Harris II popping out. The team was 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position, all in the first four innings. 'We couldn't make a couple of productive outs,' Snitker said in what's become a familiar and frustrating synopsis. 'We just like to have a fly ball and a ground ball out and we win the game.'

Dodgers' pitchers get torched during historic lopsided loss to hated Astros
They are two long-time Dodger villains, hated for two vastly different reasons. As the last remaining position player from the Houston Astros' trash-can-banging, and (in the eyes of most Dodgers fans) World Series-stealing 2017 championship team, Jose Altuve always receives a rude welcome from the fans at Chavez Ravine. As one of the most productive visiting players in Dodger Stadium history, Christian Walker often shuts them up. In the Houston Astros' 18-1 Independence Day rout on Friday, both added another tortured chapter to the Dodgers' history against the team. Altuve went three-for-three with a double, two home runs, two walks and five RBIs. Walker went four-for-five with one long ball and four RBIs. On a day starting pitcher Ben Casparius once again struggled (giving up six runs in three innings), reliever Noah Davis gave up 10 runs in the sixth inning alone (the most the Dodgers had surrendered in one inning since 1999), and most of a sold-out crowd stuck around for every painful minute (waiting in somber silence for a postgame fireworks show), that was plenty to lift the surging Astros to most lopsided defeat the Dodgers have ever suffered at Dodger Stadium. Six weeks ago, the retooled Astros were one game above .500 and 3 ½ games out of first place in the American League West; seemingly missing the other 2017 stars who have departed the franchise since their sign-stealing scandal came to light five years ago. But now, they have won 27 of their last 37, own the second-best record in the AL, and are suddenly looking like unlikely title contenders; even after turning over almost the entirety of the roster from that infamous 2017 season. 'Certainly, there's been some history with our organizations,' manager Dave Roberts said pregame when asked if any lingering feelings remained from the Astros' sign-stealing scandal. 'But if you look at it in reality, most of those guys are gone. So it certainly doesn't have any bearing on this series this weekend.' Instead, in their most lopsided loss of the season, the Dodgers had bigger concerns to worry about Friday, with Altuve and Walker at the top of the list. Altuve received his typical reception from the Dodgers faithful, serenaded with booming boos and loud chants of 'cheater' during each of his at-bats. However, he followed Isaac Paredes' leadoff homer in the first with a double off the wall. He took Casparius deep for a two-run home run on a curveball in the third. He added an exclamation point with a three-run homer in the Astros' 10-run sixth — the most runs the Dodgers (56-33) had allowed in one inning since Fernando Tatis' historic two grand slam inning in April 1999 with the St. Louis Cardinals. Walker was every bit as dangerous. A 34-year-old slugger who dominated the Dodgers (and, most confoundingly, Clayton Kershaw in particular) during an eight-year career with the Arizona Diamondbacks, Walker was already emerging from an early-season slump in his first year with the Astros (53-25) entering this weekend's series. Then, back in the friendly confines of Dodger Stadium, he orchestrated a monster performance of his own from the five-spot of the Houston order. In his first at-bat, Walker plated Altuve with a single the other way. Then, two batters after Altuve's big fly in the third, Casparius left a fastball down the middle that Walker whacked for his 28th career home run against the Dodgers — and 20th at Dodger Stadium. Only nine other players have hit that many home runs as visitors at the ballpark during their careers, a list that includes Hall of Famers Hank Aaron, Mike Schmidt and Willie Stargell, as well as Barry Bonds. Walker also made a contribution in the sixth-inning onslaught. After Davis gave up one run on two singles and two walks, the recently called-up right-hander plunked Walker with the bases loaded to force in another score, losing his grip on an 0-and-2 sweeper that left him visibly rattled on the mound. Sensing Davis' frustration, Roberts came to the bump for a motivational pep-talk; eliciting memories of the mid-game hug he delivered to journeyman reliever Yohan Ramirez last season in Cincinnati. This time, however, the mound visit had little effect. In the next at-bat, Davis threw a hanging sweeper that Victor Caratini belted for a grand slam. What was already a laugher became a full-fledged Fourth of July disaster.
