MLB Best Bets – Free (Wednesday 7/24)

The Los Angeles Chargers will take on the Kansas City Chiefs as they look to secure a 2-0 start within a division that projects to be ultra-competitive all season. The Chargers opened up with a tight home victory over the Raiders as 3.5-point home favorites, and the Chiefs demolished the Cardinals 44-21 in Arizona as 6-point road favorites.
Taking out the Chiefs in their own house is a tall task, but it may be even tougher than usual for Los Angeles, who will likely be without star receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring). In his absence, the Chargers will need Justin Herbert to operate the offense at a high level against a Kansas City defense that looked impressive in Week 1.
