admin — Thu, 23 May 2013 21:53:58 +0000

Had it not been for a last-minute gaffe in Game 3, the Pittsburgh Penguins might have already advanced to the Eastern Conference finals. As it stands now, they are one win away as they get set to host Ottawa for Game 5 on Friday.

Aside from Game 3, the Pens have had little trouble with the Senators. They’ve scored 16 goals in four games and forced the Sens to pull starting goaltender Craig Anderson twice. The Pens have won 10 of the last 15 meetings between the teams and are favored to add to those trends on Friday.

admin — Thu, 23 May 2013 21:49:15 +0000

The Cleveland Indians are at the top of the American League Central Division and the early season success has started to be reflected in their MLB odds. This week they’ll get a chance to defend their 22/1 odds of winning the World Series when they take the road against the Boston Red Sox.

Powered by a pleasantly well-rounded offensive arsenal composed of offseason addition Mark Reynolds and franchise cornerstones Carlos Santana and Jason Kipnis, the Indians are on pace to qualify for their first postseason since 2007.

Can the good times continue as Cleveland braces for the dog days of summer?

NBA Odds Say Heat, but Pacers Stand Out as Tough Underdog

admin — Tue, 21 May 2013 21:10:41 +0000

While all NBA odds may point to the Miami Heat in the upcoming Eastern Conference Final, the Indiana Pacers have done nothing this postseason but prove that they’re more than capable of putting up a fight. In one corner hoops fans have LeBron James, in the other, Paul George, the only known mortal with any hope of containing him. Weigh in, watch, enjoy.

NBA Odds: Underdog Pacers Make ECF Betting Difficult

admin — Tue, 21 May 2013 21:09:43 +0000

The Indiana Pacers may head to South Beach with NBA odds against them, but that doesn’t mean they’ll just roll over and hand the Eastern Conference title to the Miami Heat. In fact, this best-of-seven series could be the most compelling of the 2013 playoffs.

Think about it. LeBron James is a superhuman basketball juggernaut sent to Earth to dominate the NBA; however, he’s one who will find himself lined up against the only mere mortal with any reasonable chance of containing him: Paul George.

The NBA futures give Miami 1/3 odds of winning the championship, compared to Indy’s pedestrian 16/1, but stranger things have happened under the spotlight of the ECFs.

NHL Betting: Blackhawks Big Money Line Favorites in Game 2

admin — Fri, 17 May 2013 18:46:12 +0000

The Chicago Blackhawks easily took care of the Detroit Red Wings in Game 1 with a 4-1 victory. They’ve now won all five meetings with Detroit this season and are favored heavily to stay perfect in Game 2.

The Red Wings will need more from their offense if they’re to be competitive in this series. Through the five meetings so far, the Red Wings have mustered just six goals. The burden clearly falls on Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk to lead the way but so far, they’ve combined for just one assist against the Blackhawks this season.

Preakness Stakes Betting: Recent History May Favor Orb

admin — Fri, 17 May 2013 18:40:48 +0000

Five times in the past 11 years the Kentucky Derby winner has gone on to win the Preakness Stakes. That could bode well for Orb, a 2 1/2-length winner at Churchill Downs who is the early even-money favorite for Saturday’s 138th Preakness at Pimlico in Baltimore.

Orb was the post-time 6/1 co-favorite at the Derby but was well behind the lead pack heading into the final turn on a sloppy track. The bay colt had a clear path on the outside, however, to win for the fifth-straight race and pay $12.80 to win. The next three top Derby finishers will not race in the Preakness.

MLB Odds: Yankee Success a Cruel Reminder of Jays’ Futility

admin — Wed, 15 May 2013 18:35:27 +0000

Call it coincidence, fate or a cruel, cruel joke, the Toronto Blue Jays – once regarded as the MLB odds favorites – will hit the road this weekend for a three-game set with Vernon Wells, Lyle Overbay and the first-place New York Yankees.

The pair of journeymen, of course, were mainstays in the Toronto lineup back during the days when the Jays weren’t deemed the offseason’s top betting option on the World Series futures list.

How things have changed.

Now with 25/1 odds of winning the World Series and +700 odds to win the AL East, the Jays are a far cry from supremacy in the sportsbook. The overachieving Yankees, in contrast, have 14/1 odds of winning the World Series and +250 odds in the AL East.

NBA Betting: Fan Favorite Warriors Emerge as Legitimate Contender

admin — Tue, 14 May 2013 20:19:31 +0000

The San Antonio Spurs have made the postseason in 23 of the past 24 seasons, won 33 playoff series and earned four championships, yet they still run the risk of coming up short against a Golden State Warriors team, who are in their second playoff appearance since 1994. No wonder the NBA betting community can’t get enough of the Western Conference semifinal matchup.

Although still favored to win the championship with 13/2 NBA odds, the Spurs will need to bounce back after a sloppy Game 4 at Oracle Arena if they want to show that their supporters are right for sticking with them against the red-hot Warriors. On that same NBA futures list, the Warriors have 20/1 odds.

NHL Betting: Capitals Favored over Rangers in Critical Game 5

admin — Sun, 12 May 2013 13:08:56 +0000

The New York Rangers scored just one goal in the first two games of their first-round series with the Washington Capitals but have scored eight in their last two. It’s no surprise that they lost the first two contests but have won the latter two.

Get NHL odds at Bovada and enjoy a free 50% Bonus.

The Rangers find themselves posted as a road dog on Friday but they’ll need their offense to wake up if they’re to pull off the upset. The Rangers averaged just 2.17 goals per game on the road this season compared to 3.08 at home.

MLB Betting: Odds Favor Braves against Reigning Champ Giants

admin — Tue, 07 May 2013 21:32:49 +0000

While it’s far too early to start considering the eventual playoff picture, it’s not out of the question to speculate as to which clubs will be in the conversation. Two National League powerhouses will strut their stuff in a four-game series this week, allowing fans and the MLB betting community alike to see just how things are shaping up for the San Francisco Giants and Atlanta Braves.

Bet on Major League Baseball and get a free 50% Bonus.

The reigning champion Giants will play host to the Braves in the series, hopeful to show that even with 11/1 odds of winning the World Series they’re still being undervalued. Atlanta, in contrast, who hasn’t won a playoff series since 2001, has 17/2 odds on those same MLB futures.

Did the Braves really, truly improve enough over the offseason to leapfrog the winner of two of the past three World Series? Find out Thursday.
