If you're interested in sports betting today, be sure to check out the FanDuel promo code, which gives new FanDuel users $200 in bonus bets if they win their first wager of at least $200. Friday features a full MLB schedule, and while one game is out of the way as the Seattle Mariners took down the Chicago Cubs, there are still 14 games to keep an eye on, including a pivotal NL East matchup between the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets. That's a potential revenge game as Rafael Devers' San Francisco Giants host the Boston Red Sox. Three WNBA games are also on today, including the Seattle Storm at the Las Vegas Aces at 10 p.m. ET.

Best bets for Friday's games

MLB: Yankees vs. Orioles

The lone 'A' grade from the SportsLine Projection Model for Friday's MLB slate comes from an AL East clash between the Orioles and Yankees. It's been largely a season to forget for the O's, who enter this game 10 games under .500 and in last place in the division. The Yankees, meanwhile, are atop the East once again despite some recent struggles. New York sends out ace Max Fried (9-2, 1.89 ERA) and Baltimore will start Tomoyuki Sugano (5-4, 3.38 ERA). The model likes the Orioles at +1.5, as the visitors cover in 58% of simulations, which is a big difference compared to consensus odds at 44.4%.

WNBA: Storm vs. Aces

The last of three WNBA games on the schedule is a Western Conference matchup between the 7-5 Storm and 6-5 Aces. This is the third time these teams have met in 2025, with the Storm winning the first matchup and the Aces coming out victorious in the more recent showdown. Keep an eye out for whether or not Vegas star A'Ja Wilson plays. She's missed the last three games with a concussion, and she's one of the top players in the WNBA, ranking third in the league with 20.9 points per game while leading the Aces in nearly every major offensive category. She scored 19 points the last time the Storm and Aces faced off. SportsLine experts Calvin Wetzel and Aaron Barzilai break down the matchup as part of their best WNBA bets Friday.
