Here are the five best bets to make this week.
Scottie Scheffler Wins U.S. Open
The current world No. 1, Scottie Scheffler, has been dominating consistently for the better part of the last two years. He has finished in the top five in six of the last eight events he has played and has been Top 11 in all eight. He should do well this week at Los Angeles Country Club.
Scheffler finished in the top three in all three of his most recent events and seems to be just on the cusp of another victory. At last season’s U.S. Open, Scheffler tied for second, demonstrating he can perform in the nation’s championship.
For all of these reasons, Scheffler seems to be about as strong of a favorite as you could find for a golf event and you shouldn’t miss the opportunity to snag him at +600 odds.
Prediction: Scottie Scheffler to win U.S. Open (+600 at Bet365)

Las Vegas Aces Dominate Seattle Storm
The 8-1 Las Vegas Aces haven’t just been winning their games this season, they’ve been blowing teams out. On the flip side, the 1-6 Seattle Storm have been losing games by unsettling margins. In both teams’ first game of the season, the Aces won 105-64.
If Thursday’s game is anything like that first matchup, the Aces will cover the spread by halftime. No line has been set yet, but this one should be a no-brainer.
Prediction: Las Vegas Aces over Seattle Storm
Watch: Thursday, 10 p.m. ET, Silver State Sports Network
United States Soccer Bests Rivals Mexico
Another installment of the United States-Mexico men’s soccer rivalry will take place in the semifinal round of the CONCACAF Nations League Thursday night.
Of the last five times these teams have faced off the U.S. Men’s National Team has won three and the teams have drawn the past two meetings. The U.S. is in slightly better form than Mexico as well at the moment. If you take out the teams’ recent 1-1 draw back in April, the U.S. has won two and drawn once in their last three matches while Mexico has won once and drawn twice.
The United States appears to have the ever-so-slight edge in this one and with the match being played on home soil in Las Vegas’s Allegiant Stadium, you can take the Americans to prevail.
Prediction: U.S. Men’s Soccer Team over Mexico (+125 at BetRivers)
Watch: Thursday, 10 p.m. ET, Paramount+ or fuboTV

Miami Marlins ace Sandy Alcantara has struggled a bit this season, but has still managed to show flashes of the excellence we’re used to from the defending NL Cy Young winner.
If Alcantara is looking for a game to get his momentum going back in the right direction, he’s got one scheduled for Friday night in the nation’s capital.
The opposing Washington Nationals are seventh-last in the MLB in runs scored this season and should be a light matchup for the Miami main man. The odds here are only as low as they are because Washington is at home but Alcantara should be able to lead his team to a victory on the road Friday night.
Prediction: Miami Marlins over Washington Nationals (-130 at Caesars)
Watch: Friday, 7:05 ET, Bally Sports Florida or fuboTV
Philadelphia Eagles Capture Competitive NFC
With the NBA and NHL seasons drawing to a close, it isn’t a bad time to start looking forward to the NFL season. One good place to start is with the defending NFC champions who came within just a possession or two of becoming Super Bowl champions this past season.
The Philadelphia Eagles spent this offseason getting better and younger, specifically bringing in arguably the best haul of this year’s rookie draft. The team’s biggest move was trading for Detroit Lions running back D’Andre Swift, which should set up a frightening running attack with quarterback Jalen Hurts.
Outside of last year’s NFC Championship opponents, the San Francisco 49ers, the Eagles don’t seem to have much competition in the NFC and have a great chance to return to the Super Bowl and possibly get over that hump this time around. Their odds to win the NFC will shrink from +300 quickly once the season begins. It’s wise to get this wager in nice and early before the value disappears.
