MLB Betting Guide for June 7: Dodgers-Yankees Clash Awaits

We have 14 MLB games tonight, so let’s dive into everything set for the night ahead.

Kicking off the night, we worked up a +900 ultimate same-game parlay for you as the Atlanta Braves are in the nation’s capital to take on the Washington Nationals. Still, the biggest game of the night will be in the Bronx as the New York Yankees will welcome the Los Angeles Dodgers to town. The Yankees and Dodgers are favored to represent their leagues in the World Series, so we could see a first glimpse of that tonight. The Yankees are riding an eight-game winning streak into the weekend set, so do the Dodgers have what it takes right now to slow them down?

Additionally, we have a couple of exciting matchups to highlight, starting with the Kansas City Royals hosting the Seattle Mariners, as both teams sit in the top ten of our MLB Power Rankings this week. The Texas Rangers and San Francisco Giants will meet in Texas, while the Tampa Bay Rays will host the Baltimore Orioles in AL East action.

Looking ahead to the weekend, check out the London series as the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets take their bitter NL East rivalry across the pond.

It should be a great day of baseball, so stay with SportsGrid to be covered on everything the day will throw at us. Let’s ride!
