Best bets for Tuesday, March 17

The United States has gone from begging for help (and getting it) to playing for the World Baseball Classic title. Team USA has a chance to join Japan as the only teams to win the event multiple times. The Americans won the 2017 edition but lost to Japan in the 2023 final. They finished second in their group this year and got through when Italy beat Mexico in the pool-play finale. Now they face a Venezuela team that rallied to beat Italy 4-2 on Monday. Team USA will send 22-year-old Mets right-hander Nolan McLean out against Arizona Diamondbacks lefty Eduardo Rodriguez for Venezuela. McLean allowed three runs, two hits and two walks in three innings in the loss to Italy last week. Venezuela is in its first WBC final but boasts such MLB talent as Ronald Acuna Jr., Luis Arraez and Eugenio Suarez. The USA is -275 to win at BetMGM, while Venezuela is a +220 underdog. Kyle Schwarber and Aaron Judge are both +220 to hit a home run for USA. Click here to bet on the Team USA vs. Venezuela WBC final and more at BetMGM:

The Timberwolves have lost four of their past five games, while Phoenix has lost its past two following a four-game win streak. The Timberwolves are 3.5-point favorites, but the SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every game 10,000 times, has the Suns covering the spread in 52% of its simulations.
