We have a small seven-game slate tonight in the MLB, so here is everything you need to know for the night ahead.

Headlining tonight’s slate, in the NL, the Los Angeles Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers will meet in their series finale of a four-game slate as the Brewers aim to even up the series, while the Philadelphia Phillies will hope to carry over their momentum from their win last night as they are set to face the Washington Nationals tonight.

In the AL, the Minnesota Twins and Texas Rangers will meet in an intriuging late-night matchup where we’re touting a five-star play on the Twins in our game picks. Additionally, the Baltimore Orioles and Boston Red Sox will meet for an AL East clash, where we have a +1300 ultimate same-game parlay ready to go for you.
