SportsLine's experts share their featured bets on the Early Edge podcast for Sunday, June 20
Jonathan Coachman calls up sports betting experts Justin Perri and Larry Hartstein on the Early Edge podcast, powered by SportsLine. They give you their best bets for Major League Baseball, the NBA, the PGA and Euro 2020 for Sunday, June 20.
Coach starts things off with four SportsLine Plays of the Day. The first is in the NBA: The Hawks and 76ers to go Under 215.5 points (8 p.m. ET). In Euro 2020, the plays are Italy and Wales to go Under 2.5 goals (noon ET), Switzerland (1-54) to beat Turkey (noon ET) and have their team total go Over 1.5 goals.Â
Perri then chimes in with his trio of picks, all in MLB. The first is the Athletics (+120) in the first five innings against the Yankees (1:05 p.m.). "Sean Manaea is pitching today for the A's, and he's on fire." Perri says. "I really think that the A's, with an elevated chance at home runs with the weather today, will hit a couple out."
The second play from Perri is the Blue Jays -1.5 runs (-125) against the Orioles (1:05 p.m. ET). "Toronto has been hitting," he says. "They just look so good, and (Baltimore starter) Matt Harvey looks so bad."
Perri's final play is Over 9.5 runs (-115) in the Red Sox-Royals contest (2:10 p.m. ET). "This is one of the best scoring environments in the game," he says. "We have an air density index of about 56, which is lower than normal."
Coach chimes in with two U.S. Open plays. The first is Adam Scott (+120) over Patrick Cantlay. "Adam Scott is very motivated," Coach says. "He's been playing pretty well." The second is Paul Casey (-150) over Kevin Streelman. "Casey is playing for an Olympic spot," he says. "He's going to come out motivated."
Hartstein wraps things up with an MLB play: The Astros (-140) over the White Sox (2:10 p.m. ET). "(The Astros have recorded) six straight wins, they're going for a four-game sweep," Larry says. "(Lance) McCullers is on fire, (he's posted) a 1.98 ERA in his last six starts."
