It wouldn’t be at all surprising if, six months from now, the Toronto Blue Jays and Houston Astros were squaring off with a World Series berth on the line. For now, though, we’ll have to settle for a garden-variety mid-April clash — one in which a future Hall of Famer will be pitching to the […]
Rarely is the word “intriguing” used to describe a matchup between the perennially successful St. Louis Cardinals and the chronically underachieving Miami Marlins. Yet “intriguing” is the operative word for Wednesday’s series finally in South Beach, where the latest Cardinals vs Marlins odds show Miami as a small -136 home favorite. Wait, aren’t the Cardinals […]
The Mets have won three in a row and six of their last seven, including Tuesday’s doubleheader sweep of the Giants. Now, New York is handing the ball to a starting pitcher with a 0.75 ERA in his first two starts. Apparently, none of that impresses bookmakers, as Giants vs Mets odds show San Francisco […]
It’s double-duty day for reigning American League MVP Shohei Ohtani, who is slated to take the mound and man the designated hitter spot for the Angels in the rubber match of a three-game series in Houston.

All eyes Monday were on Queens, where two teams off to a combined 14-5 start were slated to kick off an intriguing early-season four-game series.

After losing 8-3 to Minnesota on Patriot’s Day, the Red Sox will look to bounce back in Tuesday’s opener of a three-game division series against Toronto. Blue Jays vs Red Sox odds show Boston as a modest favorite (-140), with the boys from Beantown looking to exploit an interesting matchup at Fenway Park. Toronto starting […]
The Houston Astros opened the season with a four-game series at the Angels, and it went pretty much like it usually does when these AL West rivals hook up: Houston landed one uppercut after another, strutted away with three victories, and left the Halos bloodied and bruised. Since then, though, these teams have headed in […]
This installment of Friday MLB odds is served up Chicago-style, as the best game of the night takes place on the Southside of Chi-Town. We are talking about the White Sox and the Rays, a matchup pitting two 2021 playoff teams against each other. Chicago checks in as a home favorite over a Tampa Bay […]
Thursday’s NHL-centric Best Bets went 1-1, which isn’t great, but hey … it’s better than a shutout! Speaking of a shutout, that’s what happened to the Boston Bruins in the second and third periods of their 3-2 loss vs. Ottawa. That blew up our NHL parlay and kept us from a 2-0 night. Really, losing […]
The perennially mediocre Los Angeles Angels aren’t normally slated as road favorites, but there are two good reasons why they have that status on the Thursday MLB odds board. One, reigning American League MVP Shohei Ohtani is taking the mound, and two, the Angels are playing the struggling Texas Rangers. Props.com breaks down that game, […]
Forget picking a side. The Under has been the play so far in the Toronto Blue Jays-New York Yankees series, and that could be the case again on the Wednesday MLB odds slate. The Blue Jays and Yankees traded low-scoring shutouts in their first two meetings this week. Now, they send aces Jose Berrios and […]
The New York Yankees and San Francisco Giants will try to get back on track Tuesday after losing series openers to division rivals Monday.
