The momentum isn't slowing down, either. Over the last three months alone, Menken has piled up +5,150 in UFC earnings, consistently staying one step ahead of the sportsbooks while cashing ticket after ticket for his clients. The latest victory came at Freedom 250 at the White House, where Menken delivered another winning UFC Top Play with the Menken's highest-rated UFC releases continue to dominate, with plays rated 5.0 Units or higher going 12-5 for +5,275 in earnings this season. When Menken increases his confidence level, the results have followed in a major way. This weekend, Menken returns to the octagon with another 7-Unit UFC Top Play, headlining a minimum three-pick fight card. This is exactly the type of run serious fight bettors want to be riding before the next big winner cashes.

MLB Prediction From Raphael Esparza:

Take Athletics Series Price (4-Game Series) over LA Angels

The Los Angeles Angels take a trip to Sacramento to play the Athletics in a 4-game series that starts on Thursday. I really like the Athletics in this spot because this price would be lower if this was a 3-game weekend series price. I know the Angels have been playing better baseball as of late, but give me the A's bats at home to win this 4-game series. Don't forget in mid-May that the A's went to Anaheim and played the Angels in a 4-game series and won 3 out 4 games. And let's face it, the Angels bullpen at times can get lit up on the road. The A's bats could be feasting all weekend long. If you don’t have an account at Doc’s Sports sign up now and get $60 in premium member picks click here.

MLB Prediction From Venon Croy:

Take Philadelphia over NY Mets (6:40 p.m., Thursday, June 18)

Now let's get to your MLB comp play for Thursday, June 18, 2026, between the New York Mets and the Philadelphia Phillies. Philadelphia has hit .297 as a team lifetime against Manea, with an on-base percentage of .342 and a slugging percentage of .523. Those numbers reflect 111 total at-bats against Manea for the Phillies. New York has hit just .220 as a team lifetime against Nola in 100 total at bats against him. I like the Philadelphia Phillies in this spot with this pitching matchup, so we will take them on the money line here Thursday night.

World Cup Soccer Prediction From Scott Rickenbach:

Take Mexico -100 over South Korea (9 p.m., Thursday June 18)

This is on the 3-way money line (standard) in Soccer, so Mexico must win the match to win our bet. If this ends in a tie, we lose the bet. I like Mexico plenty here as their 2-0 win to open things up in this tournament certainly could have been by a larger margin. Also, South Korea rallied for their win over Czechia in their first match. Give them credit for that rally for sure. However, at the same time, it is now giving us line value with a strong Mexico side that again enjoys the advantage of playing this match in their home country.

Soccer Prediction From Robert Ferringo:

Take Morocco (-135) over Scotland (6 p.m., Friday, June 19)

I like Scotland. You like Scotland. Everyone likes Scotland. They are a fun story. They aren’t a very good team though, and they are going to be exposed here against a Top 10 Moroccan side. Morocco traded blows with Brazil in a 1-1 draw and should find things easier to come by in this one. Scotland has only won 12 of its last 33 matches since 2023. I also don’t see them pulling a draw against. Morocco team that is undefeated in 29 straight matches, with 24 outright wins. The Tartan Army was lucky to pull all three points from Haiti. They won’t have the same luck here. If you don’t have an account at Doc’s Sports sign up now and get $60 in premium member picks click here.

MLB Prediction From Stike Point Sports:

Take St. Louis over Kansas City (8:15 p.m., Friday, June 19)

The Cardinals have the edge in the season series for the battle of Missouri after they took two of three from the Royals in St. Louis, and I think they are going to take a bigger lead after this game. The Cardinals record is very similar whether they play at home or on the road and are right in the mix for the playoffs, while the Royals can’t seem to get anything going. Seth Lugo is scheduled to start for Kansas City as he missed some time in the concussion protocol after getting hit in the head by a comebacker, and I think he is going to be a little off in his first start back on the mound. Michael McGreevy has been solid over his last three starts allowing just 2 earned runs while pitching 6 innings in each for St. Louis and I think he can have a similar stat line against the reeling Royals. I like the Red birds in this one. If you don’t have an account at Doc’s Sports sign up now and get $60 in premium member picks click here.

MLB Prediction From Scott Spreitzer:

Take Washington vs Tampa Bay ‘Over’ (3 p.m., Saturday, June 20)

Tampa Bay has been highly productive at home against right-handed pitching this season. And while Miles Mikolas has put together a couple of respectable outings in June, I'm still not convinced. His low strikeout rate leaves little margin for error, and this Rays lineup is capable of taking advantage. Washington's offense has been rolling all season regardless of venue or opponent. The Nationals continue rank No. 1 in runs scored per game at the time of this writing, and I expect their bats to stay hot in this matchup. With both offenses in favorable spots, I'm backing the Over in Saturday's game between the Nationals and Rays.

Soccer Prediction From Doc's Sports:

Take Japan -1.5 (+160) over Tunisia (11:59 p.m., Saturday, June 20)

Even though we are skeptical that Japan will go too far in this tournament, we were super impressed with their resilience in their opener vs. Netherlands. Every time they were punched in the face with a Dutch goal, they punched back with one of their own and earned what should be a very important point in a 2-2 draw. Group F has three very good sides and with Sweden beating Tunisia 5-1 in their opener, it is now evident that Japan and Netherlands will need big results vs. Tunisia. We don’t think the Japanese leave anything to chance here, and we think they will be aggressive in searching for goals and we think they will get them. Tunisia have scored only a single goal combined in their last three matches and they were outscored in their last two against top competition with a goal differential of -9. Japan will have plenty of opportunities here and they showed vs. the Dutch that they can take advantage with accurate shots.

MLB Prediction From Nick Menken:

Take NY Yankees -1.5 over Cincinnati (1:30 p.m., Sunday, June 21)

Sandy Alcantara looks like he is getting it going a bit. He’s won his last two starts and he has 25 strikeouts to just two walks over his last five starts. He’s gone seven full in his last two outings, and he is facing a Pittsburgh lineup that has been playing over its head a bit. Bubba Chandler has lost eight of his last nine starts for the Pirates. He throws hard, though, and has 26 strikeouts in his last four starts (to nine walks). He’s faced some tough lineups, and I think he’ll be decent at home after five of seven starts away from home.

MLB Prediction From Jason Sharpe:

Take Chicago White Sox over Detroit (1:40 p.m., Sunday, June 21)

The Detroit Tigers have been a total mess to start this season as they have lost their backers more than 15 units already in 2026. They are expected to go with starter Troy Melton here in this contest on Sunday. Melton was skipped over the last time through the rotation earlier this week as there's some fear he may be dealing with a lower back injury. The 25-year-old right-hander has made four starts for the Tigers this year. And though he's posted a 3-0 record so far with a 2.81 ERA, I am not buying into him as his strikeouts per 9 innings are below 5.00 and his FIP is 5.36 overall. On the other side of things, the Chicago White Sox have been one of the biggest surprises in all of baseball this season, having won their backers an MLB-best 12+ units overall and they currently lead the AL Central division standings. Play Chicago to win this game. If you don’t have an account at Doc’s Sports sign up now and get $60 in premium member picks click here.
