Tonight’s MLB slate is capped off by a standalone National League Central matchup between the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs. St. Louis pulled off the upset as a home underdog in Friday’s series opener 6-5 after left fielder Nelson Velazquez belted a three-run homer in the first inning. With new pitchers in the lineup tonight, the Cardinals enter as the slight favorite, looking to clinch the series over their division rival. Meanwhile, in the WNBA, we have a standalone matchup between the visiting Las Vegas Aces and the hosting Golden State Valkyries, as two of the most formidable teams in the Western Conference face off. The defending champion Aces have not necessarily had the most impressive start to its season, but after their late season turnaround in 2025, there’s little reason to believe they can’t flip that switch when necessary. Will we see that tonight, against a Golden State team that looks to a potential title contender through seven games this season?To come out a winner during Sunday&#39;s MLB and WNBA slate, here are tonight’s TST Best Bets brought to you by BetOnline.ag.

Lamar Jackson's $62M Contract Talks: Worth the Risk?

The most anticipated series of these NBA Playoffs has lived up to the hype and then some. Through six games, these two teams are dead even. Even with San Antonio Spurs facing elimination in Game 6, it was clear this series was always going seven, as they led wire-to-wire in a 118-91 blowout. These two potential dynasties in the making have similar profiles: young, elite defensively and led by a player with the potential to end their career as one of the greatest players in the sport’s history. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is on the doorstep of joining Bill Russell, Michael Jordan and LeBron James as the only players to ever win back-to-back MVPs and NBA Championships in the same two seasons. However, his reign over the league may be cut short almost immediately by the prodigy that is Victor Wembanyama, who in the first playoff run of his career, is already making the case that he is the best player in the world. Wembanyama does not have the hardware or championships that Gilgeous-Alexander does, but the unanimous Defensive Player of the Year has been the best player in this series so far.

An American vs. a German pretending to be American became the biggest story in Mexico this weekend—and somehow, it worked.That’s not an accident. That’s what happens when a great wrestler fully commits to something that should fail and turns it into something people can’t ignore.Chad Gable just proved he can do what Chris Jericho did in 1998—take a throwaway idea and force people to care. Now the question isn’t whether he’s over. It’s whether WWE will recognize what they have.

Chad Gable is running Chris Jericho’s WCW playbook—and it’s working just as well.

If Oba Femi wasn’t already looked at as a beast, and the future QB1 of the company, then he sure does now, even after the loss. The WWE made sure it took seven of one of the most devastating finishers ever to put him down. Some are already upset that Oba took a loss, but if this is going where it should, and it ends with Femi standing tall over Brock in a grudge match, indefinitely taking the place of the new Grim Reaper in the WWE, then I’m okay with Oba losing this one.
