LAS VEGAS – On Tuesday’s slate of sports, there are Olympic Basketball qualifiers, the continuation of the Round of 16 for the 2020 Euros as well as another full day in the MLB. Don’t have enough time to run through the sportsbooks and handicap the games? We’ve got you covered.

Olympic Basketball Qualifier: Canada vs Greece

The Canadian national team is pretty loaded compared to the rest of the world (aside from the US) as they have a handful of NBA players on the roster. Some of the more notable are RJ Barrett, Andrew Wiggins, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Lugentz Dort, Trey Lyles and Cory Joseph.

Due to the talent, online sportsbooks list Canada as an astounding -900 favorite on the moneyline. The Greek team has a few recognizable players in Nick Calathes, Georgios Papagiannis and Thanasis Antetokounmpo but the most notable name may be the coach, Rick Pitino.

Those looking to bet on the Olympics may not find much value in the game itself, but could take a bit of a risk on attempting to predict the exact winning margin.

Winning Margin Betting Odds

  • Canada By 1-2 Points +1200
  • Canada By 3-6 Points +550
  • Canada By 7-9 Points +700
  • Canada By 10-13 Points +500
  • Canada By 14-16 Points +700
  • Canada By 17-20 Points +550
  • Canada By 21 Or More Points +250

The spread is set at 13.5, but the odds suggest the most likely outcome is Canada to win by 21 or more points. Bettors could lay a unit on two or three of the props and cover Canada by 10-to-20 points and still secure at least two units of profit if any end up hitting.

2020 Euros Odds: Sweden vs Ukraine

Sweden and Ukraine will play one another in what will be the final game of the Round of 16 for the 2020 Euros. Sweden is favored in the match, but looking at the Over may be the best move for any soccer betting fan.

Sweden vs Ukraine Total Betting Odds

  • Over 2, 2.5 +105
  • Under 2, 2.5 -125

There has been a noticeable trend throughout the 2020 Euros in that as the games go on, the scores are getting higher. In the first two rounds of the group stage, the average total was 2.54 goals per game, in the final round of the group stage the goals per game shot up to 3.25, and thus far in the Round of 16 there has been an average of 4.0 goals per game.

If this trend continues, the Over should be able to hit and cash in on a plus-money ticket.

MLB Odds: Phillies vs Marlins

For the baseball slate, MLB bettors should look no further than the Philadelphia Phillies and Miami Marlins game. Due to Trevor Rogers pitching for the Marlins, the Phillies are minor underdogs in the contest.

Marlins vs Phillies Moneyline Odds

  • Miami Marlins -115
  • Philadelphia Phillies -105

However, sports betting sites may have the wrong team favored in the matchup. Over the last two weeks, the Phillies are hitting left-handed pitchers well. They’ve posted a 127 wRC+, .358 wOBA, .834 OPS and a .295 BA all of which rank in the top five of the league.

Meanwhile, the Marlins offense ranks in the bottom five in wRC+ (77), wOBA (.274), BA (.205) and OBP (.272) over the last two weeks. Rogers is a great pitcher, but likely not great enough to overcome all of the statistical disadvantages he and his team face in this game.
