MLB is going to Rickwood Field in honor of Juneteeth, and FOX Sports' betting expert Sam Panayotovich offers up his best bet for the big game!
When a Major League Baseball game is played at a historical site, Las Vegas bookmakers must check all the boxes to ensure the numbers are right. The 'Field of Dreams' game back in August 2021 immediately comes to mind, when the Chicago White Sox and New York Yankees slugged eight home runs in the thin Iowa altitude. Most sportsbooks opened that total at 9 and respected money came 'Over' to nudge it up to 9.5. Chicago won 9-8 on a Tim Anderson walk-off blast.
How MLB's Rickwood Field game will make huge statement in community — and baseball Thursday night in Birmingham, Alabama, the San Francisco Giants and St. Louis Cardinals meet at legendary Rickwood Field for a Negro Leagues tribute game, airing at 7 p.m. ET on FOX and the FOX Sports app. The first shop to market opened at a total of 9.5, with St. Louis as a -116 favorite. The total got whacked immediately to 8.5 before settling at 9.
