LAS VEGAS – Tuesday consists of an NBA Summer League Championship game, what could be a low-scoring MLB game, and a potential blowout in the UEFA Champions League. Each of these sporting events has betting value, it’s just a matter of how to find the best in all of them.

NBA Summer League Championship: Celtics vs Kings

The Boston Celtics and the Sacramento Kings will take part in the Championship game for the NBA Summer League. Both teams are undefeated, but online sportsbooks favor Boston by a solid margin in this matchup.

NBA Summer League Spread Odds

  • Boston Celtics -5.0 -110
  • Sacramento Kings +5.0 -110

The Celtics have the best point differential in the league, winning games by an average of 21.0 points. The Kings, with the second-best point differential, are winning by 13.8 points per game. A big storyline is that Chimezie Metu has been suspended for throwing punches, which means that the Kings will be missing a key player for their game.

Boston has simply been too good to bet against, especially when the other team won’t be at full strength.

MLB Betting: Texas Rangers vs Seattle Mariners

As the days and weeks have gone on, the Texas Rangers remain the worst offensive team in the sport. Over the past 30 days, the team is last in BA, OBP, SLG, wOBA, and wRC+. Those betting on the MLB should feel confident in a low-scoring output from the Rangers.

Rangers vs Mariners Total Odds

  • OVER 8.5 -115
  • UNDER 8.5 -105

The Seattle Mariners are not doing too much better when at the plate. The team is in the bottom six in BA, SLG, and wOBA over the last month. The starting pitchers have combined for just 21.0 innings, meaning it may be a big bullpen day and luckily, both relief units have seen respectable results on the mound.

Seattle has a 2.98 ERA while Texas has a 3.74 ERA over the last month, both of which are better than the league’s average. With these stats, this game has all of the makings for a low-scoring affair.

UEFA Champions League: FC Salzburg vs Brondby

FC Salzburg is a massive favorite in their match against Brondby IF. With -575 odds to win in regulation, it’s fair to assume that Salzburg is going to put goals on the board at a decent rate. Plus, FC Salzburg has won each of their last four matches while Brondby has gone winless in each of their last five outings.

FC Salzburg Team Total

  • OVER 2.5 -120
  • UNDER 2.5 -110

Salzburg is averaging 3.1 goals per game over their last 10 matches, while Brondby’s defense has left a lot to be desired as of late. Since the start of August, the team is allowing 2.33 goals per game. If FC Salzburg doesn’t take their foot off the pedal, they should be able to score at least three goals in this contest.
