Forget about grammar; the real issue with these “Caitlin Clark 4 President” signs is in the Constitution. The Indiana Fever star still has a long way to go before she turns 35. Defying norms and basketball defenders is one thing, but dealing with centuries-old documents can be quite challenging.
After a presidential press conference captured the nation’s attention, Clark and her team are gearing up for a prime-time game against the Phoenix Mercury on Friday. Let’s take a closer look at that game and the start of the final weekend series for baseball’s first half.
PHOENIX MERCURY AT INDIANA FEVER, 7:30 p.m. ET
Although Clark is not yet 35, she put up an impressive performance in the Fever’s previous game against Phoenix, despite battling illness. Facing off against Mercury’s Kahleah Copper will be a tough task, but we predict that Clark will rise to the challenge in front of a home crowd and against her idol, Diana Taurasi.
Our pick: Fever +2.5, Caitlin Clark over 35 points, assists, and rebounds as a two-leg parlay (+190, BetMGM)
PITTSBURGH PIRATES AT CHICAGO WHITE SOX, 8:10 p.m. ET
After an outstanding performance by rookie right-hander Paul Skenes, the Pirates now face a formidable opponent in the White Sox’s Garrett Crochet. Crochet, although dealing with injury concerns, is expected to put up a strong performance in this game.
Our pick: Garrett Crochet under 7.5 strikeouts (+120, DraftKings)
ATLANTA BRAVES AT SAN DIEGO PADRES, 9:40 p.m. ET
Both the Braves and Padres have been struggling recently, with a combined six-game losing streak. While the Padres welcome back second baseman Xander Bogaerts from injury, it may take some time for him to find his rhythm against the Braves.
Our pick: Under 8.5 runs (-115 with BetMGM)
In conclusion, Friday’s games in both the WNBA and MLB promise to be exciting matchups with plenty of betting opportunities. Keep an eye on these picks and enjoy the thrill of the game!
