Coco Gauff at +600 to win the French Open is a bet on a player whose game is built for clay and whose trajectory is still rising. With her improved edge against Iga Świątek and the surface working in her favor against power players like Aryna Sabalenka, Gauff offers real value to repeat at Roland Garros.

Mary Peltola has surged to a 64% likelihood of winning the Alaska Senate race, signaling a broader shift in momentum toward Democrats. As races tighten across the map, Democrats are now emerging as favorites to control both the Senate and the House after the midterms.
