The Yankees vs. Dodgers opener presents a close contest, with the money line showing Los Angeles at -110 and New York at -109. The Over/Under is set at 9 runs.

Expert Adam Thompson has analyzed the odds for all games and shared his top betting picks:

• Rockies ML (-116, FanDuel)
• Tigers ML (-110, FanDuel)
• Nationals ML (-136, FanDuel)

Rockies: Colorado's offense has struggled to score despite solid hitting metrics. They face Brady Singer of the Reds, who has a sub-3 ERA since June but struggles on the road with a 6.75 ERA. The Rockies' lineup features six left-handers, enhancing their chances against Singer.

Tigers: After a rough finish against the Phillies, the Tigers previously won nine of ten games, excelling against left-handed pitchers with an .858 OPS. They counter with Troy Melton, who boasts a 1.82 ERA in eight starts, against the Angels, who have lost 10 of their last 12 games.

Nationals: Only three teams scored over 500 runs before the All-Star break, including the Nationals. They face the Athletics, who have lost 13 of 14 games and scored more than two runs just once in their last eight outings.
