Bad Beats #41
Close only counts in horseshoes. If you’re betting on sports, being close is just a bad beat. Maybe you missed the over by a point. Maybe your team doesn’t cover the spread. Maybe the underdog actually won the game. Each week produces new sports betting upsets.
Here’s a look at this week’s bad beats:
1. MLB – Washington Nationals at Philadelphia Phillies Moneyline (7/26/21)
It was a good night in Philadelphia, that’s for sure. Most of the action on the Phillies’ side came in the bottom of the 9th inning. The Washington Nationals led 5-3 after the top of the 9th. In the bottom of the 9th, Andrew McCutchen homered, and Jean Segura and Bryce Harper scored. The Philadelphia Phillies took a 6-5 lead and won the game.
The Phillies have won three of their last four games. Quite an unfortunate ending for Nationals fans and bettors, as they were ahead the entire game. The Phillies are currently +4000 to win the World Series.
2. MLB – Colorado Rockies at Los Angeles Dodgers Moneyline (7/23/21)
Extra innings. It’s where the magic happens. I mean, it’s where the magic has to happen in order for someone to win. But still, it’s fun! And with extra innings, there are bad beats. We love a good bad beat. The Colorado Rockies faced the Los Angeles Dodgers in California on Friday, and the Rockies showed up big time.
The Dodgers tied the game at 6 in the bottom of the 9th inning after Austin Barnes scored. So, into the 10th inning it went. Trevor Story singled for the Rockies, and Garrett Hampson scored. Charlie Blackmon homered for the Rockies, and Story scored. Game over. The Rockies defeated the Dodgers 9-6 in extra innings. Bad beat for the Dodgers, but they are still the favorite to win the World Series at +450 along with the Houston Astros.
