There won’t be any NBA, NHL, MLB, or NFL regular season/playoff games tonight, but that doesn’t mean you have no reason to bet. For one, there’s the highly anticipated MLB Home Run Derby. Also, the NBA Summer League is here to provide basketball action, including tonight’s meeting between the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers.

Lots and lots of poor baseballs will get crushed later tonight as the 2016 MLB Home Run Derby parades some of the most powerful men in the game today.
Giancarlo Stanton is the favorite to win the event with odds of +300, while the majors’ home run leader Mark Trumbo is not far behind with a price of +350. Also competing are last year’s Derby champion Todd Frazier (+500) and his former teammate Adam Duvall (+600). Added star power will be provided by Robinson Cano (+1,000), Carlos Gonzalez (+800), and Wil Myers (+600).
It’s not the regular season, but at least basketball fans have something to watch with the NBA Summer League in full swing.
The Warriors lost their first outing, 63-61, against the Spurs, but got a solid performance from the high-flying Kiefer Sykes, who scored 15 points. The Lakers, meanwhile, are undefeated in two games so far. DeAngelo Russell is playing well in the Summer League, scoring 20 points in the win over New Orleans (85-65) and 22 in the victory over Philadelphia (70-69).
