🔥 Top Picks
Reds ML (-180) vs Braves – 7:10 PM ET
Andrew Abbott has been lights out with a 2.09 ERA and 1.98 ERA at home. With Atlanta 7-17 in July, missing Acuña, and just 5-20 as underdogs, Cincinnati’s dominant arm and bullpen edge make this a strong play.
Under 7.5 (-109) Rangers vs Mariners – 9:40 PM ET
Both Texas and Seattle hit just .224 at home, ranking among the league’s worst. With George Kirby’s 2.88 ERA over his last five home starts and two cold lineups, runs should be scarce at T-Mobile.
Under 8.5 (-106) Rays vs Yankees – 1:05 PM ET
Ryan Pepiot has a 3.13 road ERA and held current Yankees to a .577 OPS, while Marcus Stroman seeks a bounce-back. An inward breeze plus recent low-scoring trends points toward the under.

⚾ Game Previews
Tampa Bay Rays (54-55, .495) @ New York Yankees (59-49, .546) – 1:05 PM
🔥 Top Pick: Under 8.5 (-106)
🔹 Ryan Pepiot (TB): 6-8, 3.42 ERA, 124 SO — tossed six shutout innings in his last start
🔹 Marcus Stroman (NYY): 2-2, 6.09 ERA, 23 SO — struggled in his last outing after four solid starts
🔍 Tampa Bay’s lost six of seven, and New York’s pitching has a 3.08 ERA over its last four games. Both staffs should benefit from favorable conditions and Pepiot’s edge against Yankee hitters.
💰 Odds: Yankees -110, Rays -111 | Total: 8.5
Atlanta Braves (45-62, .421) @ Cincinnati Reds (57-52, .523) – 7:10 PM
🔥 Top Pick: Reds ML (-180)
🔹 Carlos Carrasco (ATL): 2-2, 5.91 ERA, 25 SO — allowed 7 HR in 32 IP, making Braves debut
🔹 Andrew Abbott (CIN): 8-1, 2.09 ERA, 95 SO — dominant All-Star, 1.98 ERA at home
🔍 Atlanta is 19-36 on the road and reeling without Acuña, while Cincinnati is pushing for the playoffs behind Abbott’s elite home splits. Reds’ bullpen (.222 opponent AVG) adds to the mismatch.
💰 Odds: Reds -180, Braves +147 | Total: 9.5
Texas Rangers (57-52, .523) @ Seattle Mariners (57-52, .523) – 9:40 PM
🔥 Top Pick: Under 7.5 (-109)
🔹 Kumar Rocker (TEX): 4-4, 5.73 ERA, 53 SO — searching for consistency with just three quality starts
🔹 George Kirby (SEA): 5-5, 4.50 ERA, 68 SO — 2.88 ERA over his last five home starts
🔍 Both clubs hit .224 at home, ranking last in MLB, while Seattle’s recent skid contrasts with Texas’s strong July surge. With Kirby locked in at T-Mobile and two weak lineups, expect a low-scoring duel.
💰 Odds: Mariners -176, Rangers +144 | Total: 7.5

Big Tech Has Spent Billions Acquiring AI Smart Home Startups
The pattern is clear: when innovative companies successfully integrate AI into everyday products, tech giants pay billions to acquire them.
Google paid $3.2B for Nest.
Amazon spent $1.2B on Ring.
LG just acquired startup Homey, signaling their move into the smart home.
Now, a new AI-powered smart home company is following their exact path to acquisition—but is still available to everyday investors at just $2.00 per share.
With proprietary technology that connects smart shades to all major AI ecosystems, this startup has achieved what big tech wants most: seamless AI integration into daily home life.
Over 10 patents, 200% year-over-year growth, and a forecast to 5x revenue this year — this company is moving fast to seize the smart home opportunity.
The acquisition pattern is predictable. The opportunity to get in before it happens is not.
Last chance to invest at $2.00 before the round closes.
