The NBA Finals are the spandex of championship sporting events. Seriously. If the championship series goes the distance, it begins June 2 and ends June 19 — seven games stretched across 18 days. So you might see Celtics vs Warriors odds for a while, beginning with Thursday’s Game 1 numbers. Golden State is favored at […]
Looking for some goals? Like, lots and lots of goals? You’ve come to the right NHL playoff series, as the Edmonton Oilers and Colorado Avalanche are more than willing to oblige. After combining for 14 goals in a wild Game 1 of their Western Conference Finals best-of-7 series, the league’s most prolific offenses in this […]
Forget about past history and current form and home-ice advantage. When looking at Lightning vs Rangers odds for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, the handicap comes down to this: What side of the “Rest vs. Rust” fence do you stand on? Because Wednesday’s series-opening showdown between the Tampa Bay Lightning and New York […]
The Edmonton Oilers and Colorado Avalanche rank 1-2 in scoring in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. So it’s a pretty good bet that the scoreboard operators will earn their paychecks during the Western Conference Finals, which start Tuesday in Denver. Certainly, the Game 1 total on the NHL playoff odds board reflects that presumption. However, the […]
There’s a new favorite on the AL Cy Young odds board — and he just happens to be an old face. That’s right, Houston Astros (once-again) ace and two-time Cy Young recipient Justin Verlander is now favored to take home the hardware for the third time in his career. Not too bad for a 39-year-old […]
NL Cy Young odds have gotten two noteworthy jolts this season. And unfortunately for the New York Mets, they’ve provided both those shake-ups, losing two of the best pitchers in MLB. Just before the season started, Jacob deGrom was shelved by a shoulder issue. He’s still not back in the rotation. Now, Max Scherzer has […]
Oddsmakers thought NBA bettors would be discussing Game 1 of the NBA Finals this weekend, but Jimmy Butler had other ideas. The Miami star poured in 47 points, and the Heat stayed alive as big underdogs at Boston to force Game 7 in the Eastern Conference finals. Boston, the No. 2 seed in the East, […]
The NBA playoff odds market is open for business Thursday, as the Golden State Warriors failed to sweep the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference finals. However, the Mavericks’ victory in Game 4 likely only delayed the inevitable. Holding a 3-1 lead, Golden State, the No. 3 seed in the West, is -3500 at DraftKings […]
Golf betting heats up again with PGA Championship odds on the board, as the second major of the year hits the final round at Southern Hills in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The last time Southern Hills hosted the PGA Championship was in 2007. The winner: Tiger Woods. Knock you over with a feather, right? But it’s 2022 […]
In postseason play, they say it’s not really a series until the road team wins a game. Well, that has yet to happen in the Dallas Mavericks vs. Phoenix Suns Western Conference semifinal. And if form holds, it won’t happen in the decisive Game 7, either. Host Phoenix is a solid favorite on the NBA […]
It’s a big Sunday of Game 7s in the NBA playoff odds market, starting with the Eastern Conference semifinal between the Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics. The road team snagged wins in Games 5 and 6, pushing this series to the brink. Defending champion Milwaukee is trying to find its way back to the NBA […]
The Memphis Grizzlies didn’t go quietly, even without injured star Ja Morant, and now the Golden State Warriors have to try to close out their Western Conference semifinal series at home to avoid a Game 7. Holding a 3-2 lead, Golden State, the No. 3 seed in the West, is -1500 at WynnBet to win […]
