World Series Odds – Red Sox, Phillies Still Favored To Meet In World Series

If you bet on MLB odds, you’re probably giving serious thought as to who will win the World Series as the second half of the regular season is underway, and the list of favored teams hasn’t changed that much.

Philadelphia (+220) and Boston (+275) have been the favorites all season, and the Phillies may have a slight edge because the National League won the World Series, giving them the homefield advantage. But you know the New York Yankees (+350) will have something to say about it by the time it’s all said and done. Milwaukee (+800) is gaining steam as a contender, but their pitching has to hold up and furthermore, they have to get out of the tough National League Central, which features St. Louis (+1700) and Cincinnati (+2800), one of the more intriguing sports betting darkhorse possibilities.

Don’t forget about last year’s World Series finalists, Texas (+900) and the defending champions from San Francisco (+1500), who are both leading their respective West divisions and should make it to the postseason, where anything can happen. Atlanta (+1100) is also in the mix in the National League East, and they could have a better pitching staff than Philadelphia’s famed set of arms.

As tight as all of the divisional races are, it’s set to be a thrilling stretch run to the playoffs, so be sure to keep your eyes and ears open for news before you head over to your book to bet on sports.

Stanley Cup Betting – Canucks Destined To Win First Cup

Online Belmont betting players have seen Animal Kingdom installed as the favorite for the final jewel in the Triple Crown as he has been the best horse over the first legs, winning the Kentucky Derby and finishing second in the Preakness Stakes. Sometimes, the best end up getting what they deserve, and that looks to be the case in the Stanley Cup finals, which should be won by Vancouver.

The Canucks are just too deep, too fast and too balanced for Boston, who will give it a game effort, but they don’t have the horses to hang with Vancouver, who have a two-headed monster on offense with Henrik and Daniel Sedin, the best two-way player in either team in Ryan Kesler (with all due respect to Boston’s Patrice Bergeron), and a slew of role players who can chime in with big goals.

Vancouver’s defense is also underrated, and they have the depth to go all the way, even if Dan Hamhuis can’t go because of an injury suffered in Game 1. However, the key to it all is goaltender Roberto Luongo, who has been awful at points, particularly early in the playoffs, but he’s bounced back to give the Canucks a chance to win, especially in the series clincher against San Jose and in Game 1 of this series. If he stays consistent, the Canucks should roll to the Stanley Cup rather comfortably, so roll with the favorite in your sports betting book.

Kentucky Derby Betting – Three Picks For Saturday

Kentucky Derby betting is the hot play this weekend, and on Saturday, the “Run For The Roses” will go off for the 137^th time at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. Here is a look at three horses to watch in what should be a wide open affair.

Dialed In was the favorite before Uncle Mo was scratched with a gastrointestinal infection, but he will likely be a bigger favorite now. He rolled to a big win in the Grade 1 Florida Derby with a fantastic come-from-behind performance, and in four races, Dialed In has three wins and a second-place run. Julien Leparoux has been the only jockey Dialed In has known, so continuity could play a big factor in this as they go off in the No.8 post position.

Shackleford finished second to Dialed In at the Florida Derby and would love another shot at the Derby favorite, and he has two wins and a second-place run in five career races. This is his first time running on dirt, so that could be a factor, but Shackleford showed great balance and stamina in the Florida Derby, so he definitely has a shot.

Twice The Appeal is a longshot, but with Calvin Borel in the saddle, anything can happen at Churchill Downs. Borel has won three of the last four Derbies, and he’s going off in post No.3, so he doesn’t have far to take Twice The Appeal to the rail. Look for Twice The Appeal to get some action from sports betting players.

NFL Week 1 Best Bet

With training camp underway, NFL betting enthusiasts are foaming at the mouth in anticipation for the season to get underway. In week one there are many games on Sunday that one can look forward too. However, the best bet in week one is on the Monday night as the new look Ravens face the ever improved Jets. Here is a breakdown of the game.

Baltimore Ravens v New York Jets

On Monday September 13 in the first game of a Monday night doubleheader the AFC’s two wild card teams of a year ago will clash. During the offseason, both teams were part of a handful of squads that were rather busy.

The Jets added future hall of fame running back LaDainian Tomlinson and 2009 Super Bowl MVP Santonio Holmes to the wide receiving core. Adding them to an already stacked Jets offense could be the final puzzle pieces to making it back to the Super Bowl.

Conversely, the Baltimore Ravens added Antoine Boldin from the Arizona Cardinals. Although a ground and pound offensive team, the acquisition of Boldin makes the Ravens just as dangerous when quarterback Flacco decides to air out the ball.

Aside from how both sides key offseason acquisitions will fare, a few other interesting storylines for NFL bettors to consider will be coming out of the New York Jets. For instance, although the Jets are a three point favorite, how will quarterback Mark Sanchez knee hold up after offseason surgery? Secondly and more importantly, will disgruntled cornerback Darrelle Revis be wearing a Jets uniform come the start of the season or will he be on a different team altogether?

With two of the NFL’s premier defenses facing off, we expect this game to be low scoring. Nevertheless, this will be the best bet of week one as both are exciting squads to bet upon.more…
