Best bets for Monday, August 25

MLB betting preview

With a 13-game Monday MLB slate, there are ample options for MLB betting. The New York Mets host the Philadelphia Phillies at 7:10 p.m. ET to begin a three-game series between the top two teams in the National League East. The Phillies hold a seven-game advantage a week before the final month of the 2025 MLB season, so it's a longshot that New York with catch Philadelphia, but taking Monday's contest is a chance to close the gap. 

The Mets are starting Kodai Senga, who has a 2.58 ERA this season but has a 5.21 ERA in four August starts. The Phillies are starting Christopher Sanchez, who is 11-4 with a 2.46 ERA for the fifth-best ERA in baseball. The 28-year-old has a 2.05 ERA in four August starts. Philadelphia is 7-2 over its last nine games as the Phillies have opened a rather commanding lead in the NL East, but going head-to-head is the Mets' best chance to climb back into the race heading into the final weeks of the season. The Phillies are -125 favorites, with the Mets at +105 underdogs and an over/under set at 8 runs on Monday at Fanatics. Other intriguing MLB matchups include Red Sox (-120) vs. Orioles (+100), Padres (+105) vs. Mariners (-125) and Reds (+120) vs. Dodgers (-145). Bet on these MLB games at Fanatics to start earning FanCash:

WNBA betting preview

The New York Liberty host the Connecticut Sun at 7 p.m. ET and the Chicago Sky host the Las Vegas Aces at 8 p.m. ET in the two contests on the Monday WNBA schedule. Both the Liberty (-12.5) and Aces (-11.5) are heavy favorites going against two teams with bottom-three records in the WNBA. But the Liberty (22-15) have lost four of their last five games. Sabrina Ionescu (foot) didn't play on Saturday and is questionable for Monday for a Liberty team already without Breanna Stewart (knee). Meanwhile, the Aces (24-14) enter their matchup on a 10-game winning streak behind center A'ja Wilson averaging 23.2 points and 10.2 rebounds per game this season. Bet on WNBA games today at Fanatics:

Best College football bets today

It's never too early to get into the Week 1 college football action, which kicks off on Thursday after five Week 0 contests last weekend. South Florida hosts No. 25 Boise State at 5:30 p.m. ET in one of Thursday's most intriguing matchups. Boise State is a 6.5-point favorite in the latest college football betting odds in a non-conference matchup. These two programs have never met before. Boise State enters its second full season with Spencer Danielson as head coach after going 12-2 and winning the Mountain West Conference before losing, 31-14, in the quarterfinals of the College Football Playoff. South Florida went 7-6 last season. Bet on CFB games today at Fanatics:
