HOUSTON (AP) — Masyn Winn cleared the bases with a double down the third base line, and the St. Louis Cardinals won their fifth straight game, beating the Houston Astros 7-5 in 10 innings on Sunday.

Winn was 3 for 5, and he finished the series with seven RBIs.

Houston had the tying run on base in the bottom of the 10th, but Christian Walker grounded into a fielder’s choice to end the game.

Riley O’Brien (3-0) earned the win in relief. Gordon Graceffo got the final out for his first save of the season.

It’s the Cardinals’ first sweep of the Astros in a three-game series in Houston since April 20-22, 2004. They are 5-0 in games decided in extra innings.

Houston rallied from 4-1 down with two outs in the eighth inning. Yordan Alvarez hit his league-leading 10th home run, and after Jose Altuve singled and Walker worked a 10-pitch walk, Isaac Paredes tied the game with a two-run single.

Cardinals starter Michael Liberatore allowed one run and three hits in six innings. The only blemish on his line came in the third inning when Carlos Correa followed Taylor Trammell’s triple with a sacrifice fly.

Astros starter Mike Burrows struck out a season-high seven and retired the first 14 batters he faced, but the next five reached base, and he was removed before finishing the fifth inning, allowing four runs. Bryan King (0-1) took the loss in relief.

Jordan Walker was 1 for 4 to extend his hitting streak to 14 games.

The Astros have lost four in a row and 12 of 14.

RHP Spencer Arrighetti (1-0, 1.50 ERA) starts for Houston on Monday against RHP Slade Cecconi (0-2, 5.03 ERA) in the opener of a three-game series at the Cleveland Guardians.

RHP Michael McGreevy (1-1, 2.49 ERA) is scheduled to start for St. Louis on Monday against RHP Max Meyer (1-0, 4.12 ERA) in the opener of a three-game series at the Miami Marlins.

Who Will Win the 2027 NHL Stanley Cup?

July 2, 2026 11:36 am · vsin.com
AI Expert Analysis: As the NHL prepares for the 2027 Stanley Cup, recent developments in team rosters and betting odds present intriguing insights for bettors. The Washington Capitals have made significant strides, acquiring key players like Alex Tuch and Jordan Kyrou, which has led to a drastic reduction in their Stanley Cup odds from 50/1 to 22/1, alongside improved division and conference odds. This upward momentum suggests a strong betting opportunity, particularly with Ovechkin’s return adding veteran leadership. Conversely, the Edmonton Oilers are under pressure to perform after a disappointing playoff exit, and their odds reflect a cautious optimism following roster changes, including the signing of goaltender Freddie Andersen. However, the Oilers' historically slow starts could be a concern for bettors, especially with a new coach in Mike Babcock. The focus will be on how these teams gel early in the season, as trends indicate that strong starts can significantly impact playoff positioning. Bettors should monitor the Capitals for potential value in futures markets, while keeping an eye on the Oilers' performance in October to gauge their ability to meet heightened expectations. Overall, the Capitals appear to be a more favorable bet given their recent improvements and favorable odds movement, while the Oilers' situation remains more volatile.

Top 2026 Win Total Picks from the NFL Betting Splits

July 16, 2026 12:11 pm · vsin.com
AI Expert Analysis: As the NFL season approaches, betting insights reveal significant trends in the win total market. The Los Angeles Rams, who finished strong last season, have seen their win total rise from 10.5 to 11.5, with 59% of bets and an impressive 95% of total dollars backing the over, indicating sharp money confidence in their ability to replicate or exceed last year's 12-win performance. This optimism is bolstered by offseason acquisitions, including Myles Garrett, and the potential return of Aaron Donald, alongside the continuity of quarterback Matthew Stafford and head coach Sean McVay. Conversely, the Chicago Bears are facing a downturn in expectations, with their win total remaining at 9.5 but the under gaining traction, moving from -120 to -125. Despite 29% of bets on the under, a striking 80% of the money is backing it, suggesting a strong belief that the Bears will struggle against the league's toughest schedule, compounded by key player losses. This sharp divergence in betting sentiment highlights the Rams as a potential value play while cautioning against the Bears, making these insights crucial for informed wagering as the season nears.

Top Picks from the MLB Betting Splits for Friday July 17th

July 17, 2026 11:54 am · vsin.com
AI Expert Analysis: As the MLB season resumes, betting insights reveal a strong lean towards the Toronto Blue Jays in their matchup against the Chicago White Sox. After a recent sweep of the Athletics, the White Sox may appear formidable, but the Blue Jays have garnered significant sharp money support, moving their odds from -130 to as high as -140. With 60% of moneyline bets and 65% of the money wagered at DraftKings favoring Toronto, the market indicates confidence in the home team. Historical trends bolster this sentiment, as non-division favorites from the previous season's playoffs have a solid track record in series openers, posting a 65% win rate this season. Additionally, the Blue Jays' favorable context as a sub-.500 home favorite against a winning opponent aligns with a successful 63% trend this season. In contrast, the White Sox's struggles on the road—holding a 40% win rate—coupled with Anthony Kay's elevated 5.94 ERA away from home, further tilt the odds in favor of Toronto. In another matchup, the San Diego Padres face the Kansas City Royals, who have recently faltered, but the betting landscape remains less clear, indicating a more cautious approach for bettors. Overall, the Blue Jays present a compelling case for wagers, supported by both market movements and historical performance metrics.

NBA Summer League Best Bets: Picks & Predictions for Thursday, July 16

July 15, 2026 11:57 pm · vsin.com
AI Expert Analysis: In the NBA Summer League, the Brooklyn Nets are positioned as strong contenders against the Houston Rockets, particularly if key players Egor Demin and Mikel Brown Jr. are cleared to play. The Nets have shown depth, nearly defeating the undefeated Atlanta Hawks without their stars, which suggests they can remain competitive regardless of personnel. Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls, currently 1-2, are receiving +3.5 against the Lakers, who are undefeated. If Caleb Wilson participates, his competitive edge and two-way play could shift the balance in favor of the Bulls, making them a potential upset pick. The Hawks, favored at -3.5 against the Grizzlies, have emerged as the best team in the Summer League, boasting impressive stats with 23.0 assists per game and low turnovers. Their cohesive play, led by standout guard Kingston Flemings and a strong frontcourt, positions them well to secure a semifinal spot. Betting on the Hawks appears to be a solid choice given their current form and momentum. Overall, the odds movement and expert sentiment favor the Nets, Bulls, and Hawks, making these matchups critical for bettors looking to capitalize on the Summer League dynamics.
