SPORTIVO
Article arrow_drop_down

There were several big upsets in the MLB on Sunday, including the Angels beating the Mariners as +150 underdogs. Los Angeles is a +166 underdog against Texas during the Monday MLB schedule, which is one of the MLB longshots that SportsLine’s model is targeting. Mike Trout hit the 397th home run of his career on Sunday, moving into 62nd place on the all-time home run list. He also has the third-most RBI in franchise history, and the model has him recording 1.62 total bases in its latest simulations for Monday’s slate. 

The model is also backing the Royals (+145) vs. Braves and Reds (+136) vs. Dodgers, identifying value on both of those MLB upset picks.

Reds money line vs. Dodgers (+136)

Cincinnati is coming off a three-game sweep of Tampa Bay and is six games above the .500 mark for the first time since the 2023 season. The Reds are trying to make the playoffs for the first time since 2020, and rookie pitcher Chase Burns has allowed two earned runs or fewer in two of his last three starts. Los Angeles is 8-13 in July and is amid a season-high nine-game road trip. The model has the Reds winning in 47% of simulations, while these odds imply just a 43% chance of winning.

Royals money line vs. Braves (+145)

Kansas City will have 45-year-old Rich Hill on the mound as he tries to build on a strong 2025 debut. Hill, who has never lost to Atlanta in nine career starts, allowed one earned run across five innings against the Cubs last Tuesday. He is facing an Atlanta team that is on a five-game losing streak and is 16 games under the .500 mark. The Braves have been outscored 40-12 during that five-game stretch, and the model has the Royals winning in 48% of simulations to provide value at this price.

Angels money line vs. Rangers (+166)

Texas is on a six-game winning streak after back-to-back sweeps of the Athletics and Braves, outscoring them 37-14. This has created a large money line on Monday night, and Los Angeles showed it can pull off an upset on Sunday. The Angels are coming off a 4-1 win over the Mariners, powered by Trout’s two-run homer. They also upset the Mariners on Friday in extra innings, as Zach Neto recorded a walk-off hit. The model has Los Angeles winning in 43% of simulations, which is significantly better than the implied probability of 37%.
