Extracurricular Sunday Evening Ball Game Telecast
Get ready for an action-packed day in the world of sports! ESPN will broadcast a Sunday night doubleheader featuring the Cards-Cubs (6:10 ET), Rangers-Padres (9:10), and Giants and A's at 10:05. Meanwhile, the MLB holiday weekend concludes today with three Sunday night games.
In baseball, Greg Peterson, VSiN's managing editor, has shared his Best Bets for the July 6 MLB games. For the Cincinnati Reds vs. Philadelphia Phillies, Greg predicts the Total Under 9 Runs, with a handicapped total of 8.2 runs. He believes Phillies starter Zack Wheeler's strong performance since returning from paternity leave will contribute to a low-scoring game, while Reds rookie Chase Burns' potential for success is indicated by his minor league numbers.
For the Milwaukee Brewers vs. Miami Marlins, Greg forecasts Over 8 Runs, with a handicapped total of 8.4 runs. The Brewers' strong road scoring average and the Marlins' weak bullpen suggest a high-scoring game.
In the Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Seattle Mariners matchup (Sunday night, 4:05 p.m. ET), Greg predicts the Mariners Moneyline at +101, with a handicap of -113, and the Total Under 7 Runs, with a handicap of 6.4. Mariners starter George Kirby's improved performance and the Pirates' weak road lineup contribute to these picks.
Moving on to horse racing, coverage is sponsored by 1/ST BET. Steve Makinen has posted his final simulation for today's NASCAR race on the streets of downtown Chicago (2 p.m. TNT). Michael McDowell has moved up into the runner-up position in Makinen's simulation after a great day on the course on Saturday. Shane Van Gisbergen, who won the first race two years ago and took the most recent road course race by 17 seconds, is a heavy favourite in the Grant Park 165. SVG, Bell, Larson, Bowman, and Beuscher are projected to finish in the Top 5.

Lastly, the U.S. meets Mexico in the Gold Cup final in Houston at 7 p.m. ET. NBC SportsBet analyst Brad Thomas has the U.S. to win, while Circa has the Americans at +110 with Mexico at -130. "Mr. Ed" Sehon has picks for today's Saratoga card, and Zach Cohen posts his daily Best Bets on the tennis page, adding more picks throughout the day on the tennis picks page.
