Weekend Sports Betting Preview: Yankees-Phillies, Dodgers-Mets And The WNBA All-Star Game
Every MyWinners venue in Connecticut runs a Fanatics Sportsbook concession alongside the racebook, so the same trip that covers your Saturday racing can also cover a full weekend of MLB and WNBA action. Three storylines are worth building your weekend around: a Yankees-Phillies interleague set, a Dodgers-Mets series with real playoff weight behind it, and the WNBA All-Star Game lighting up Chicago on Saturday night.
| Matchup | Venue | Dates | Sport |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yankees at Phillies | Citizens Bank Park | Fri 24 - Sun 26 Jul | MLB |
| Dodgers at Mets | Citi Field | Fri 24 - Sun 26 Jul | MLB |
| WNBA All-Star Game | United Center, Chicago | Sat 25 Jul, 8:30pm ET | WNBA |
Yankees At Phillies (Friday To Sunday, Citizens Bank Park)
The Yankees head to Philadelphia for a three game interleague set running Friday through Sunday, first pitch each night in the early evening ET window. It is a rare crosstown-style clash between two of baseball's most storied franchises, and with both clubs jockeying for playoff positioning in the season's second half, none of the three games is a formality. Philadelphia's deep rotation at Citizens Bank Park makes this a tough building for any lineup, while the Yankees bring the kind of power bats that can turn a game in one swing.
Dodgers At Mets (Friday To Sunday, Citi Field)
Los Angeles travels to Queens for a three game set that carries real National League weight, with the Mets looking to hold serve at home against a Dodgers club built for October. The series runs Friday and Saturday evening before wrapping with a Sunday afternoon getaway game. Both bullpens have been used hard in recent weeks, which makes the middle innings worth watching as closely as the starters.
The WNBA All-Star Game (Saturday, United Center, Chicago)
Saturday night's centerpiece is the AT&T WNBA All-Star Game at the United Center in Chicago, tipping off at 8:30pm ET on ABC as part of the league's 30th anniversary season. Reigning Rookie of the Year Paige Bueckers headlines Team Coop alongside four-time MVP A'ja Wilson and two-time MVP Breanna Stewart, while Caitlin Clark leads Team Spoon under Minnesota's Cheryl Reeve. It is the first time the All-Star Game itself has been played at the United Center rather than the smaller Wintrust Arena, and the built in $100,000 prize pool for Chicago youth sports organizations gives the exhibition extra stakes beyond bragging rights.
Betting These Games At A MyWinners Venue
Sports betting at every Winners venue in Connecticut runs through Fanatics Sportsbook, a separate concession from the pari-mutuel racing side of the business. You will need a Fanatics account to bet MLB and WNBA markets in-venue, and staff on site can help you get set up if you are new. Racing and sports betting live under the same roof, so there is nothing stopping you from betting a card at the track windows and the Yankees-Phillies series at the same visit.
