When you think of Minnesota, the word “hot” rarely comes to mind. But the Twins certainly deserve that description right now as they’re riding a nine-game home winning streak heading into Tuesday’s game against the visiting Astros. On the other hand, Houston is no stranger to the heat (weather and baseball-wise). Sure enough, the Astros […]
Well, we definitely learned one thing during the first full week of NHL playoff wagering: There are 15 really good clubs chasing one über-talented juggernaut. And those 15 really good clubs appear to be losing ground The second week of the postseason begins Monday with four games on the NHL playoff odds board. Three of […]
It’s a new week, which means we are off to a fresh start with our Best Bets series. Even though last week didn’t go as planned, we still have our heads above water with an overall Best Bets record of 77-72-1. We are keen to point out that the NBA props have served as a […]

But he stormed from the inside in the home stretch to shock race favorites Epicenter and Zandon. Epicenter finished second and Zandon third […]
Heading into the 2022 MLB season, expectations were sky high for the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Chicago Cubs? Not so much. So far, both squads are making preseason prognosticators look prescient. Following Saturday’s dominant doubleheader sweep at Wrigley Field, the Dodgers are riding a five-game winning streak and have matched the Yankees for baseball’s best […]
It all began innocently enough Thursday night, in the top of the ninth inning between the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies. The Mets, trailing 7-1 in a game seemingly lost, got an infield single from Starling Marte to open the inning. A nice effort, sure, but something to worry about in the MLB betting […]

That was the case for Kentucky Derby odds from the race’s inception in […]
Editor’s Note: This article has been updated from its original version following the May 6 news that Charles Oliveira failed to make weight for his lightweight title fight against Justin Gaethje.
