Monday, October 26, 2026, brought a packed schedule for sports fans, with major matchups across Major League Baseball, the NFL, the NBA and the NHL. The night’s headline events included Game 3 of the World Series between the Milwaukee Brewers and Tampa Bay Rays, along with the Dallas Cowboys facing the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football.
CBS Sports highlighted several betting selections based on the SportsLine Projection Model and expert analysis. These recommendations reflected the information and odds available before the games began.
Brewers vs. Rays: World Series Game 3
The Brewers and Rays entered Game 3 after Milwaukee won the first two games of the World Series by narrow margins. The third game was scheduled for Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida.
CBS Sports reported that Tampa Bay was a slight moneyline favorite at -118, while Milwaukee was listed at +103 in the market odds cited in its preview.
SportsLine model pick: Brewers moneyline. The article listed Milwaukee at +101 as its model selection and reported a 60% estimated win probability for the Brewers.
A separate player-prop recommendation backed Freddy Peralta under 4.5 pitcher strikeouts at +107. The analysis pointed to his recent strikeout numbers and the possibility that Milwaukee’s hitters could work longer at-bats.
Cowboys vs. Eagles: Monday Night Football
The Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles were also featured in the Monday night schedule. Both teams had experienced difficult stretches entering the matchup, according to the CBS Sports preview.
SportsLine model pick: Eagles moneyline at +177. The model assigned Philadelphia a 42% estimated chance of winning.
The expert selection highlighted in the article was under 44.5 total points at -110. The analysis focused on offensive inefficiencies and Dallas’ recent scoring struggles.
These figures represented the preview’s pregame estimates and betting lines, rather than confirmed outcomes.
NBA Picks: Suns vs. Thunder and Warriors vs. Nuggets
The NBA schedule offered additional options for fans following Monday’s games.
For Phoenix against Oklahoma City, the SportsLine model selected under 220.5 total points. The preview reported a 57.1% model probability for the game finishing with 220 points or fewer. Phoenix was also highlighted in an expert selection at +10.5 points.
For Golden State against Denver, the model leaned toward over 236.5 total points, citing a 54.5% probability of the teams combining for at least 237 points.
NHL Pick: Kings vs. Rangers
The Los Angeles Kings faced the New York Rangers in another matchup highlighted by CBS Sports.
The featured model selection was Rangers moneyline at -131. The preview cited New York’s strong home record and Los Angeles’ scoring difficulties as factors behind the pick.
Important Note About Betting Odds
Moneyline prices, point spreads and totals can change as team news, injuries and market activity influence betting markets. Model probabilities are estimates, not guarantees, and a favourable projection does not ensure a winning wager.
Because these games were scheduled for October 26, 2026, the odds and picks above are historical pregame information. Anyone reviewing the article afterward should check the final results rather than treat these selections as live betting opportunities.
