BetAnySports’ NFL Pick of the Week- Week 8: New Orleans Saints vs. Carolina Panthers – Thursday, Oct. 30

BetAnySports’ NFL Pick of the Week- Week 8


New Orleans Saints vs. Carolina Panthers – Thursday, Oct. 30


BAS’ Current Line: Saints -3 and the total is 49 1/2


Just when the betting public thought the Saints were dead in the
water after a 2-4 start both straight-up and against the spread, they go
out and hammer one of the hottest teams in the league with a 44-23 romp
over Green Bay this past Sunday as two-point home favorites on
BetAnySports closing NFL betting odds. The total easily went OVER an
inflated 55-point line and it has now gone OVER in their last four
games.


BetAnySports
has opened New Orleans as a one-point road favorite in this Thursday’s
NFC South showdown against Carolina and for good reason. The Saints are
0-4 SU on the road this season with a 1-3 mark ATS. They opened the
season with back-to-back road losses to Atlanta and Cleveland before
getting hammered by Dallas 38-17 as three-point road favorites. Just two
weeks ago New Orleans blew a late fourth-quarter 23-10 lead against
Detroit in a 27-26 loss a 1.5-point road underdog.


The Panthers fast 2-0 start both SU and ATS out of the gate is
becoming a distant memory after posting a dismal 1-4-1 SU record in
their last six games. They have been able to cover ATS in three of their
last four games and while the total stayed UNDER 44.5 points in this
past Sunday’s tough 13-9 loss to Seattle as six-point home underdogs, it
had gone OVER in their previous five games.


Defense was the primary reason while Carolina went 12-4 SU last
season on its way to the NFC South Division title, but this year this
side of the ball has been plagued with consistency issues from one week
to the next. Give this unit credit for holding Seattle in check with the
exception of a late-game score that cost the team the game. Prior to
this, the defense did allow 37 points in the Week 6 tie against
Cincinnati and 38 points the following week in a lopsided loss to Green
Bay. The offense has not helped the cause with 19 points or less in four
of the Panthers’ last six games.


The total has stayed UNDER in nine of the last 11 meetings in
Carolina and given New Orleans’ current form on the road and the
Panthers’ current form overall, I am going with the UNDER 49 on
BetAnySports betting odds as my top pick this time around as well.

BetAnySports’ NFL Pick of the Week- Week 8: New Orleans Saints vs. Carolina Panthers – Thursday, Oct. 30

BetAnySports’ NFL Pick of the Week- Week 8: San Diego Chargers vs. Denver Broncos – Thursday, Oct. 23

San Diego Chargers vs. Denver Broncos – Thursday, Oct. 23


Current BAS’ Line: Broncos are 8 1/2 point favorites and the total is sitting at 51 1/2


Thursday Night Football features a battle for first place in the AFC
West between the 5-2 San Diego Chargers and the 5-1 Denver Broncos at
Sports Authority Field at Mile High. BetAnySports has opened the surging Broncos as 7.5-point home favorites, but it has yet to set the betting odds for the total line.


The Chargers were rolling along with a five-game winning streak
before it fell to another tough division opponent this past Sunday in a
last-minute 23-20 loss to Kansas City as three-point home favorites. The
total in this game stayed UNDER the 45.5-point closing line and it has
now stayed UNDER in three of their last five games. The 20 points
against Kansas City was the team’s lowest output since an 18-17 loss to
Arizona on opening day. Overall, the offense is ranked ninth in the NFL
in scoring with 26.3 points a game.


The biggest surprise with San Diego this season has been the play of
its defense. It did allow 28 points to Oakland in a tight Week 6 win,
but overall this unit is ranked third in the league in points allowed
(16.3). It is also ranked fifth in total yards allowed (316.4) and third
against the pass.


The Broncos are coming off an impressive 42-17 romp over San
Francisco as 6.5-point home favorites in a game where Peyton Manning set
a new NFL record for career passing touchdowns by tossing four in that
rout. Denver has now outscored its opponents a combined 114-54 in its
last three games. The offense is ranked fifth in total yards per game
(394.0) and the passing attack is accounting for close to 300 of those
yards. It is also ranked first in scoring with 31.5 points a game.


Much like the Chargers, Denver’s defense can take responsibility for a
good chunk of this team’s success so far. This unit is allowing an
average of just 20.2 points and in is sixth in total yards allowed
(316.8) and third against run.


BetAnySports’ past betting trends in this matchup tend to favor San
Diego on the road. While the Chargers have lost five of the last six
meetings straight-up, they have been able to cover against the spread in
five of its last six road games against the Broncos. I am going with
that play again as San Diego uses that extra half point to the fullest
in a seven point loss on the road to its division rivals.

BetAnySports’ NFL Pick of the Week- Week 8: San Diego Chargers vs. Denver Broncos – Thursday, Oct. 23

BetAnySports’ NFL Pick of the Week- Week 7: New York Jets vs. New England Patriots – Thursday, Oct. 16

New York Jets vs. New England Patriots – Thursday, Oct. 16


Current BAS’ Line: Patriots are -9 1/2 and the total is sitting at 44 1/2.


The New York Jets will try and get their season back on track with a
visit to Foxborough to square-off against the bitter AFC East rival New
England Patriots, who are suddenly riding a two-game winning streak into
Thursday night’s game. BetAnySports has opened New England as a healthy 10.5-point home favorite for this prime-time clash with the total set at 46.5.


The Jets are in desperate need of a win to keep their season from
completely spiraling out of control after their current straight-up
losing streak reached five games with last Sunday’s 31-17 loss to Denver
as 9.5-point home underdogs. New York is now 0-5-1 against the spread
this season with the total going OVER in three of their last five games.


It has been a rocky start for second-year quarterback Geno Smith and a
Jets’ offense that is ranked 30th in the NFL in scoring with an average
of 16 points a game. They are also ranked 30th in yards per game and
the only bright spot so far has been a ground game that is averaging
121.2 yards per game. Things are not much better on the other side of
the ball with a defense that 25th in the league in points allowed
(26.3).


The Patriots’ bandwagon is close to standing room only again after
winning their last two games against Cincinnati and Buffalo by a
combined score of 80-39. They covered the spread in both of those
contests to improve to 4-2 SU and 3-3 ATS overall. The total has now
gone OVER in their last three games.


Patience and time was all that was needed to get New England’s much
maligned offense back to form considering that you are dealing with a
team that has won 10 or more games in each of its last 11 seasons. Tom
Brady has returned to form throwing the ball and the Patriots’ defense
is now ranked 11th in the NFL in points allowed (21.5) and fifth in
yards allowed (319.5), which is a complete reversal of this team’s
fortunes in a 2-2 SU start.


The Jets are 13-6 ATS in their last 19 road games against New England
despite the fact that they are 1-5 SU in the last six meetings. Given
both team’s current form, it is going to be really hard for New York to
cover this time around even with a very generous 10.5-point spread on
BetAnySports’ current NFL betting odds. Bottom line; take the home team
and lay the points in this AFC East tilt.

BetAnySports’ NFL Pick of the Week- Week 7: New York Jets vs. New England Patriots – Thursday, Oct. 16

BetAnySports’ NFL Pick of the Week- Week 6: Indianapolis Colts vs. Houston Texans – Thursday, Oct. 9

Indianapolis Colts vs. Houston Texans – Thursday, Oct. 9


BAS’ current line: Colts -2 1/2 and the total is sitting at 46


Thursday Night Football in Week 6 of the NFL season will feature a
battle for the top spot in the AFC South between the Indianapolis Colts
and the Houston Texans. Both teams come in with straight-up 3-2 records
and BetAnySports has opened the Colts as slight 2.5-point road favorites
for this game. The total has been set at 46.


The Colts have overcome a slow 0-2 start with three-straight
victories by a combined score of 105-47, but they had to work for last
Sunday’s win in a 20-13 grinder against Baltimore as 2.5-point favorites
at home. The total stayed UNDER the 49.5-point closing line on BetAnySports
NFL betting odds after going OVER in their first four games.
Indianapolis is now a profitable 4-1 against the spread this season.


The one constant with this team regardless of the final score on the
board has been third-year quarterback Andrew Luck’s ability to move the
ball down the field through the air and throw touchdowns. He has already
passed for 1,617 yards and 14 touchdowns and the Colts’ offense as a
whole is ranked second in the NFL in both yards (439.6) and points
(31.2) per game.


The Texans jumped out of the gate with three victories both SU and
ATS in their first four outings to eclipse last season’s two-game win
total, but they are coming off a tough 20-17 overtime loss to Dallas as
five-point road underdogs in Week 5. They are also 4-1 ATS in their
first five games and the total has stayed UNDER in three of those
contests.


If Houston is going to climb back on top of the division after last
season’s hard fall it will be behind a defense that is ranked fourth in
the NFL in points allowed. This unit is giving-up an average of 17.4
points a game overall and just 11.5 points at home this season. JJ Watt
has been a force so far and he was recently named the NFL Defensive
Player of the Month in September.


The Colts are 20-4 SU in their last 24 games against Houston, but
they have covered in just two of their last eight road games against
their division rivals. The total in this matchup has gone OVER in seven
of the last nine meetings in Houston. I am sticking with the home team
once again in this AFC South showdown as the Texans cover with the
2.5-points on BetAnySports’ current betting odds.

Indianapolis Colts vs. Houston Texans – Thursday, Oct. 9

Thursday Night Football in Week 6 of the NFL season will feature a
battle for the top spot in the AFC South between the Indianapolis Colts
and the Houston Texans. Both teams come in with straight-up 3-2 records
and BetAnySports has opened the Colts as slight 2.5-point road favorites

five-point road underdogs in Week 5. They are also 4-1 ATS in their
first five games and the total has stayed UNDER in three of those
contests.

BetAnySports’ NFL Pick of the Week- Week 6: Indianapolis Colts vs. Houston Texans – Thursday, Oct. 9

BetAnySports’ NFL Pick of the Week- Week 4 — New York Giants vs. Washington Redskins – Thursday, Sept.25

BetAnySports’ NFL Pick of the Week- Week 4


New York Giants vs. Washington Redskins – Thursday, Sept.25


Current BAS’ Line: Redskins -3 1/2 and the total is sitting at 45 1/2.


The New York Giants and the Washington Redskins will kick-off Week 4
of the NFL regular season on Thursday Night Football in a battle between
two NFC East rivals that cannot afford to fall too far off the pace in
the division title race. Both teams come in with 1-2 straight-up record
to start the year and BetAnySports has listed Washington as a 3 1/2 point home favorite on its NFL betting odds for this game. The total has been set at 45 1/2.


Some bettors had given the Giants up for dead after a second-straight
slow start out of the gate, but they ended this season’s slide at two
games with an impressive 30-17 victory over Houston as 1.5-point home
favorites this past Sunday. This followed lopsided losses to Detroit and
Arizona by a combined score of 60-28 in their first two games. The
total went OVER BetAnySports’ 41.5-point closing line against the
Texans.


One of the biggest differences this past week verse New York’s first
two games was the play of veteran quarterback Eli Manning. After
starting the season with four interceptions in two games, he remained
turnover-free while connecting on 21-of-28 attempts for 234 yards and
two touchdown throws. The Giants’ defense did its part by picking-off
Houston quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick three times.


Washington has been forced to turn to Kirk Cousins as its starting
quarterback for an injured Robert Griffin III, but that might not be
such a bad thing. Despite the 37-34 loss to Philadelphia this past
Sunday as four-point road underdogs, the Redskins new starter threw for
427 yards and three scores. The offense gained 511 total yards while
carving out a nine-minute edge in time of possession.


If Cousins can put up numbers like that against New York’s defense
then Washington should roll in this one as the Giants do not have nearly
the offensive firepower to keep up on the scoreboard. I actually see
this game turning into a hard-fought back-and-forth battle between two
heated rivals. However, in the end stick with the home team to get the
win both straight-up and against the spread while laying the four
points. The Giants are just 4-9 ATS in their last 13 road games on
BetAnySports’ closing betting odds and the Redskins have a 5-2 edge ATS
in the last seven meetings in this series.

BetAnySports’ NFL Pick of the Week- Week 4 — New York Giants vs. Washington Redskins – Thursday, Sept.25

BetAnySports’ NFL Pick of the Week- Week 3– Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Atlanta Falcons – Thursday, Sept.18

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Atlanta Falcons – Thursday, Sept.18


BetAnySports’ Current Line: Falcons -6 1/2 and the total is 44 1/2


Thursday Night Football in Week 3 of the new NFL season features a
NFC South showdown between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Atlanta
Falcons. Each is trying to get back to its winning ways after suffering a
setback this past Sunday. BetAnySports has opened the Falcons as
six-point home favorites on its initial NFL betting odds and the total
for the game is 44 1/2.


Tampa Bay is actually still looking for its first win of the year
after losing to Carolina 20-14 on opening day as a five-point home
favorite. The Buccaneers followed this up with a tough 19-17 loss to St.
Louis at home as 4.5-point favorites at home. This extended their
current losing streak to five games straight-up and they are also 0-5
against the spread in their last five outings.


Lovie Smith took over the helm as Tampa Bay’s new head coach this
season, but many of the same old problems with this offense continue to
rear their ugly head. The Buccaneers were ranked 30th in the league last
season in scoring with an average of 18 points a game and they have yet
to even hit that total this year. This is putting some tremendous
pressure on a defense that has already been on the field way too long.


The Falcons were the darlings of the NFC South in Week 1 with a
stunning 37-34 overtime victory over New Orleans as three-point home
underdogs. They went on the road this past Sunday as 5.5-point underdogs
against Cincinnati and looked the part with a 24-10 loss. This
Thursday’s game now becomes a crucial test for a team that went 13-3 SU
in 2012 only to fall to 4-12 last year.


Matt Ryan continues to throw the ball all over the field with an
NFL-high 679 passing yards, but this past Sunday against the Bengals he
only completed 54.5 percent of his 44 attempts and he was picked-off
three times. Atlanta struggled to run the ball with Steven Jackson
leading the way with just 46 yards on 11 carries and the offense only
managed 309 total yards after piling-up 568 yards against the Saints.


Both teams obviously had their problems last Sunday, but Tampa Bay
looks like its issues are going to drag for a few more games at the
least. Stick with Atlanta to bounce back with a big win at home that
easily covers BetAnySports’ six-point spread.

BetAnySports’ NFL Pick of the Week- Week 3– Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Atlanta Falcons – Thursday, Sept.18

BetAnySports’ NFL Pick of the Week- Week 2: Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Baltimore Ravens – Thursday, Sept.11

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Baltimore Ravens – Thursday, Sept.11


It is only Week 2 of the new NFL regular season and the Baltimore
Ravens could be facing a must-win situation this Thursday night when
they play host to the Pittsburgh Steelers in a classic AFC North rivalry
game. BetAnySports
has opened the Steelers as slight 2.5-point road underdogs on its
opening NFL betting odds and the total for the game has been set at 44.


Pittsburgh appeared to be cruising to an easy victory against
Cleveland this past Sunday as a 5.5-point home favorite in its season
opener, but it had to eventually sweat-out a 30-27 win that went right
down to the wire. The total easily went OVER the 41.5-point closing line
and it has now gone OVER in five of the Steelers last six games.


Ben Roethlisberger passed for 365 yards while completing 23-of-34
attempts and running back Le’Veon Bell added another 109 yards and a
score on the ground on 21 carries. The big question mark heading into
Thursday’s matchup is which Pittsburgh defense is going to show up? The
one that held the Browns to three points in the first half or the one
that gave-up 24 points in the final two quarters.


Baltimore got off to a painfully slow start in its 23-16 loss to
Cincinnati on opening day. It closed as a one-point favorite at home and
the total stayed UNDER the 43.5-point line. After falling behind 15-0
on five Bengals’ field goals, the Ravens battled back to a one-point
lead only to let it slip away on a 77-yard touchdown throw from Andy
Dalton to AJ Green.


Ravens’ quarterback Joe Flacco put the ball up 62 times and he
completed 35 passes for 345 yards and a score on an 80-yard pass play to
Steve Smith. Baltimore’s Justin Forsett added 70 yards on the ground on
11 carries including a 13-yard run for a touchdown early in the second
half to finally put his team on the board.


When you think of this rivalry in the past, you would probably expect
another grinder that ends with both teams struggling to score points,
but given what we saw from each team’s quarterback as well as its
defense, I am going OVER BetAnySports’ 44-point total line as my
official pick in this game.

BetAnySports’ NFL Pick of the Week- Week 2: Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Baltimore Ravens – Thursday, Sept.11

BetAnySports’ NFL Pick of the Week — Green Bay Packers at Seattle Seahawks – Thursday, Sept.4

BetAnySports’ NFL Pick of the Week- Week 1


Green Bay Packers at Seattle Seahawks – Thursday, Sept.4


BAS’ current line: Seahawks -5 1/2 and the total is at 46.5


The start of another season in the NFL gets underway with a bang this
Thursday night when the Green Bay Packers invade CenturyLink Field to
square-off against the defending Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks. BetAnySports has listed the Seahawks as 5 1/2 home favorites with the total set at 46.5 points.


Green Bay won the NFC North last season with a straight-up record of
8-7-1 and it became very apparent that this is a totally different team
without quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the lineup. The Packers went 6-2 SU
with the veteran gunslinger under center and they fell to 2-5-1 SU when
he was recovering from a broken collarbone. The running game is
anchored by Eddie Lacy and overall this offense was ranked third in the
NFL in total yards and eighth in scoring with an average of 26.1 points
per game.


The Packers’ defense slipped to 25th in the league in total yards
allowed last season and this unit allowed an average of 26.8 PPG. Head
coach Mike McCarthy drafted free safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix with the 21st
overall pick and then went on to add two additional defensive players in
the first four rounds to add some depth on this side of the ball.


Seattle opened the 2013 season as second-favorites behind San
Francisco to even win its division, but after going 13-3 to claim the
NFC West title, it went on to win last year’s Super Bowl in a convincing
fashion. Ever since the reigning champs have been given the honor of
opening the new season with the first game of the year, they have gone
18-2 SU (11-9 against the spread).


There is no doubt that Seattle remains one of the most talented teams
in the league behind quarterback Russell Wilson and a defense that was
ranked first in the NFL in both yards and points allowed. The trick to
repeating this feat is to avoid the dreaded Super Bowl hangover that has
impacted so many other teams over the years.


It is hard to bet against the winning trend for Super Bowl champs in
the following season’s opener, but that is a SU result. I am following
suit in my official pick for this game with Seattle getting the SU win,
while Green Bay covers with the five points on the road in BetAnySports’
NFL betting odds for this game.

BetAnySports’ NFL Pick of the Week — Green Bay Packers at Seattle Seahawks – Thursday, Sept.4

NFL Odds: Seahawks and Packers Take Spotlight in Thursday Night Debut

In little over a week, the Seattle Seahawks will set out to
officially reprise their roles as Super Bowl champions. The titleholders
will kick off the new campaign as hosts to the Green Bay Packers in
Thursday night’s opening week matchup. They’re 13/2 to win a second
consecutive ring, making them an intriguing NFL betting option.

The Seahawks have established themselves as a defensive powerhouse
over the past few seasons, and that’s partially because of cornerback
Richard Sherman. Seattle went 11-5 against the spread last season and
steamrolled the Denver Broncos during the Super Bowl Championship.


This year, the Seahawks have a target on their backs, and teams like
Green Bay will take advantage of that. The Packers were just 7-9 against
the spread in 2013, and they barely managed to sneak into the
postseason.


Aaron Rodgers and the Packers have been in Seattle’s position before.
With 10/1 NFL odds heading into the season, the Packers could even
repeat their 2011 success.

NFL Odds: Seahawks and Packers Take Spotlight in Thursday Night Debut

BetAnySports’ NFL Preseason Pick of the Week: Chicago Bears vs. Seattle Seahawks – Friday, Aug. 22

Chicago Bears vs. Seattle Seahawks – Friday, Aug. 22


Current BAS’ Line: Seattle -7 and the total is 45


The Chicago Bears will try and remain perfect through the first three
weeks of the 2014 NFL preseason this Friday night when they travel to
Seattle to tangle with the defending Super Bowl Champion Seahawks. This
game is set to get underway at 10 p.m. (ET) and it will be broadcast
nationally on the NFL Network. BetAnySports has opened Seattle as a seven-point favorite with the total set at 44.


The Bears out-gunned Philadelphia 35-28 in their first preseason game
as 1.5-point home favorites and last Thursday night they snuck past
Jacksonville 20-19 as three-point favorites at home. The total went OVER
against the Eagles, but it stayed UNDER the 42-point closing line
against the Jaguars.


Chicago boasted one of the best scoring offenses in the league last
season behind quarterback Jay Cutler and wide receivers’ Brandon
Marshall and Alshon Jeffery and it recently signed Santonio Holmes to
try and make the roster as the No. 3 receiver. Defensively, the Bears
were statistically one of the worst teams in the league in 2013, but
with some free agent acquisitions and a strong draft, second-year head
coach Marc Trestman is looking for some solid improvement from this unit
in 2014.


The Seahawks had no problem keeping opponents off the scoreboard last
season with the No. 1 ranked defense in the NFL in both points and
yards allowed. So far in the preseason, this unit has allowed a total of
35 points in a 21-16 loss to Denver as one-point road favorites in Week
1 followed by a 41-14 rout of San Diego as 65-point favorites at last
Friday night. The total stayed UNDER against the Broncos, but it easily
went OVER BetAnySports’ 39-point total line for the game against the
Chargers.


Seattle appears to be in mid-season form through these first two
games, but the starters have seen limited action so far. Quarterback
Russell Wilson was especially sharp against San Diego with scoring
drives in his only four possessions of the game. Look for head coach
Pete Carroll to play the starters into the second half this Friday night
in the team’s final dress rehearsal for its season opener against Green
Bay on Thursday, Sept. 5.


Seattle rarely loses at home even if it just the preseason. The Bears
have not looked bad in their first two games, but they will have a
tough time putting points on the board against a much better defense
than they faced so far. Give the seven points on BetAnySports spread in
this one as the Seahawks once again cover at home.

BetAnySports’ NFL Preseason Pick of the Week: Chicago Bears vs. Seattle Seahawks – Friday, Aug. 22

BetAnySports’ MLB Pick of the Week: Washington Nationals vs. Miami Marlins- Tuesday, July 29

Washington Nationals vs. Miami Marlins- Tuesday, July 29


BAS’ Current Dime Line: Nationals -134/124 and the Total is 7U -112


The Washington Nationals will continue a three-game series against
the division rival Miami Marlins this Tuesday night in a 7:10 p.m. (ET)
start at Marlins Park. BetAnySports has opened the Nationals as -143 road favorites with the total line set at 7.


The NL East has been basically a two-team battle all season long
between Washington and Atlanta. Heading into this series, the Nationals
were 57-45 and holding a game and a half lead over the Braves in the
division race with Miami a full seven games back. Washington is 27-25 on
the road this season and it has a 4-2 record in the first six games of
this current nine-game road trip. The total has stayed UNDER in four of
those contests.


Look for Stephen Strasburg to get the start in Game 2 against the
Marlins this Tuesday night. The right-hander came into this season as a
leading contender to win a Cy Young on BetAnySports’ futures odds, but
it has been a struggle at times with a record of 7-8 and an ERA of 3.67.
He has already faced Miami twice this season and in 10 2/3 innings of
work he has a 5.91 ERA.


The Marlins’ NL East title hopes could very well hang in the balance
in this crucial three-game set. A few wins could mean the difference
between staying in the race or starting preparations for another run
next season with some personnel moves before Thursday’s trade deadline.
They have to be encouraged with this past weekend’s three-game sweep
over Houston to raise their record to 7-3 since the All-Star break.


Miami will turn to Henderson Alvarez as its starter for Tuesday
night. The right-hander had some issues with a shin injury, but he
pitched eight strong innings last Thursday against the Braves by holding
Atlanta to two earned runs on six hits. He is 7-5 overall with a 0-1
record against Washington in two previous starts this year. Alvarez has
an ERA of 2.62 and a 1.23 WHIP in 21 starts this season.


Strasburg has been struggling to find his best stuff all season long
and he has already had some issues against this potent Miami lineup.
Stick with the Marlins as +133 underdogs at home in this matchup as
Alvarez continues to shine with another quality start.

BetAnySports’ MLB Pick of the Week: Washington Nationals vs. Miami Marlins- Tuesday, July 29

BetAnySports’ MLB Pick of the Week: Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Pittsburgh Pirates- Tuesday, July 22

Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Pittsburgh Pirates- Tuesday, July 22


BetAnySports’ current line: Pirates -118/108 and the total is 8 -110


The Los Angeles Dodgers and the Pittsburgh Pirates will continue a
three-game set at PNC Park this week with Game 2 this Tuesday night with
a scheduled start of 7:05 p.m. (ET). Josh Beckett is scheduled to get
the start for the Dodgers and Vance Worley is penciled-in as the starter
for Pittsburgh. The Pirates have been opened by BetAnySports as 110 favorites at home and the total has been set at 8.


The Dodgers (55-45) head into this series tied with San Francisco for
the lead in the NL West. They dropped two of three to St. Louis on the
road this past weekend to kick things off in the second half of the MLB
regular season. They avoided a sweep with a 4-3 victory on Sunday with
staff ace Clayton Kershaw on the mound. BetAnySports’ closing MLB
moneyline listed Los Angeles as a prohibitive 174 road favorite in that
game. The Dodgers have been opened as 113 road favorites for Monday’s
series opener against Pittsburgh with the total set at 7.5.


Los Angeles remains one of the top scoring teams in the NL with an
average of 4.12 runs a game. Its pitching is also ranked near the top of
the list with a 3.30 team ERA. Beckett recently spent some time on the
DL with a hip injury and he will be making his first start since July 6.
The right-hander is 6-5 this season with a 2.26 ERA in 17 previous
starts.


Pittsburgh finds itself in the thick of the NL Central Division race
with an overall record of 52-46. It is an even 5-5 in its last 10 games,
but coming off a three-game sweep of Colorado this past weekend. The
Pirates outscored the Rockies 12-7 in that series to improve to 32-20 at
home this year. They are now a game and a half behind both Milwaukee
and St. Louis heading into this series.


This is another team that has gotten some solid production at the
plate this season with an average of 4.11 runs a game. The issue through
much of the first half has been an inconsistent pitching staff that is
ranked ninth in the NL with a team ERA of 3.69. Worley has been in and
out of the starting rotation and he will be making his first start since
July 8. The right-hander has been tagged for nine earned runs on 17
combined hits in his last three starts.


Both of these starters come into Tuesday’s game with more questions
than answers when it comes to current form. Given the ability that both
of these teams have to score runs I am going with the OVER 8 on BetAnySports’ betting odds for this game.

BetAnySports’ MLB Pick of the Week: Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Pittsburgh Pirates- Tuesday, July 22

Sunday Night Baseball: Los Angeles Dodgers (54-45) vs. St. Louis Cardinals (54-44)

The Los Angeles Dodgers and the St. Louis Cardinals will both be
trying to pick up a win on Sunday when they battle at Busch Stadium.


The Dodgers will pin their hopes on the pitching of left hander
Clayton Kershaw in this game. Kershaw has a 11-2 record and a 1.77 ERA
this season.


Meanwhile, it’ll be Carlos Martinez who starts for the Cardinals.
Right hander Martinez is 2-4 with a 4.43 ERA so far this season.


Oddsmakers currently have the Dodgers listed as 190-moneyline
favorites versus the Cardinals, while the game’s total is sitting at 6½.








In their last action, Los Angeles was a 4-2 loser on the road against
the Cardinals. Bettors on St. Louis at +142 on the moneyline collected
their winnings from that game, while the total score (6) sent UNDER
bettors home happy as well.

MLB All-Star Break Betting Update for BetAnySports

The 2014 MLB regular season takes a break from all the action for a
few days this week in light of this year’s Home Run Derby on Monday and
Tuesday’s All-Star Game, making it the perfect time to review BetAnySports MLB betting results of the first half of the regular season.


The Oakland Athletics have been one of the hottest teams on the field
this season with a Major League-best record of 59-36 through their
first 95 games of a grueling 162-game schedule. A’s fans have to be
thrilled with an effort that has the team in first place in the Al West,
holding a game and a half lead over the surging Los Angeles Angels, but
both of these teams have provided a tremendous return on investment
when it comes to betting moneylines for the games. Oakland has the best
return in the Majors at +$1,436 on BetAnySports’ closing MLB betting odds followed by a very healthy return of +$1,380 for the Angels.


The surprising Baltimore Orioles are holding down the top spot in the
highly competitive AL East with a record of 52-42. Their lead over
Toronto heading into the break stands at four games with the New York
Yankees still in the chase at 47-47, which is five games off the pace.
The Orioles’ return on the moneyline this season is the third-best in
MLB at +$1,260 through this past Sunday’s games. Detroit leads the way
in the AL Central at 53-38 by 6.5 games over Kansas City and its return
on BetAnySports MLB moneyline stands at +$199.


The Los Angeles Dodgers opened the new season as odds-on-favorites to
win the National League Pennant and they are starting to find that
championship form with a 54-43 record that has them a game ahead of San
Francisco in the NL West. The Dodgers have not always been the best team
to wager on with an overall return of -$87, but they have won far more
than they have lost over the past month or so.


The team with the best return in the NL on BetAnySports’ MLB
moneyline odds have been the Cincinnati Reds at +$586. They are
currently 51-44 on the year and a game and half behind upstart Milwaukee
in the NL Central Division race. The Brewers got a fast start out of
the gate, but they closed-out the first half of the regular season with a
2-8 record in their last 10 games. Milwaukee’s return on the moneyline
now stands at +$441.


Washington and Atlanta are tied atop the NL East standings at the
break, but the Braves have provided a slight advantage to bettors with a
+$187 return on the moneyline, while the Nationals’ overall return is
in the red at -$33.

MLB All-Star Break Betting Update for BetAnySports

BetAnySports’ MLB Pick of the Week: Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Detroit Tigers- Tuesday, July 8

Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Detroit Tigers- Tuesday, July 8


BetAnySports’ current line: Tigers -110 and the total is listed at 8 1/2


BetAnySports listed the Los Angeles Dodgers as +275 favorites to win
the National League before the new MLB season got underway. It also had
Detroit listed as a +350 favorite to win the American League. In what
could easily be a preview of this year’s World Series, these two MLB
powers will now square-off in a brief two-game interleague battle
starting this Tuesday night at Comerica Park.


The Dodgers come into Tuesday’s series opener with some solid
momentum after winning six of their last nine games. After trailing San
Francisco in the NL West for a good part of the season, they have opened
a half-game lead over the Giants as of Sunday’s games with a record of
51-40. Los Angeles is one of best road teams in the Majors at 29-17 and
the total has stayed UNDER in four of its last six games on the road.


It will be Hyun-Jin Ryu’s turn in the Dodgers’ starting rotation for
Tuesday night. The left-hander has picked-up where he left off after a
stellar rookie campaign with a 9-4 mark in 16 previous starts this
season. He is coming off another quality start in which he held
Cleveland to two earned runs on seven hits through seven full innings
pitched. Ryu has a 3.08 ERA on the year with a WHIP of 1.19.


It has been a constant roller-coaster ride for Detroit this season
and it is on another downhill run after losing three of four to Tampa
Bay this past weekend. This followed an impressive three-game sweep of
Oakland last week with all seven games played at home. The Tigers still
have a four-game lead over Kansas City in the AL Central title race at
48-37, but they have really struggled to consistently win at home this
year with a record of 23-22. The total on BetAnySports’ closing betting
odds has gone OVER in their last five games.


Justin Verlander is scheduled to be on the mound as Detroit’s starter
for Tuesday’s contest. He has also had his share of ups and downs this
season, but the right-hander appears to have regained his form by
allowing a total of seven earned runs in his last three starts.
Verlander held the Athletics to two earned runs on nine hits to pick-up
his seventh win of the season last Wednesday and he is now 7-7 on the
year with a 4.71 ERA in 18 previous starts.


BetAnySports
has opened Los Angeles as a +111 road underdog for Tuesday night with
Detroit listed as a -110 home favorite. The total for this contest has
been set at 8.5. This game should feature a great showdown on the mound
that could easily be worthy of a play on BetAnySport’s UNDER betting
line, but I am going with Verlander and the Tigers to get a much-needed
win at home as my top pick in this matchup.

BetAnySports’ MLB Pick of the Week: Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Detroit Tigers- Tuesday, July 8

BetAnySports’ MLB Pick of the Week: St. Louis Cardinals vs. San Francisco Giants- Tuesday, July 1

St. Louis Cardinals vs. San Francisco Giants- Tuesday, July 1


BAS’ Line: Giants -118 and the Total is 7 1/2 U-125


The St. Louis Cardinals will kick-off the month of July on the road
this Tuesday night in Game 1 of a three-game series against the San
Francisco Giants. BetAnySports
has opened the Giants as -130 favorites on its MLB betting moneyline
for this game with the total set at 7.5. The first pitch is scheduled
for 10:15 p.m. (ET) at AT&T Park.


The Cardinals come into this series with just two victories in their
last six games. This includes a 3-1 series loss on the road against the
Los Angeles Dodgers this past weekend in which they were outscored 17-4
in the four games. They are now 44-39 on the year and 6.5 games in back
of Milwaukee in the NL Central. St. Louis is 21-22 on the road this year
and the total has stayed UNDER in eight of its last 12 road games.


Look for Marco Gonzales to get the start for the Cardinals on Tuesday
night. The left-hander made his Major League debut last Wednesday
against Colorado and after posting three strong innings he was tagged
for five runs in the fourth. He lasted one more inning; giving-up a
total of seven hits on the night.


San Francisco continues to set the pace in the NL West with an
overall record of 46-36, but there have been some cracks in the
foundation lately with just three victories in its last 10 games and
four-straight losses to Cincinnati this past weekend at home. The Giants
only managed to score a total of six runs in those four losses and the
total has stayed UNDER in five of their last eight games.


The good news for Giants’ fans is that Tim Lincecum is due to be back
on the mound as the team’s starter after tossing his second career
no-hitter in his previous start against San Diego. That could be a tough
act to follow with an overall ERA of 4.42 this season in a total of 16
starts. Prior to no-hitting the Padres, the right-hander had given-up a
total of 17 earned runs in his last four starts.


I am banking on BetAnySports’
favorable +120 MLB moneyline on the Cardinals in this matchup as it
will be a different story for Lincecum this time around. Consistency and
holding form have not been his strong suit over the past few years,
which will be evident in a St. Louis win on the road this Tuesday night.

BetAnySports’ MLB Pick of the Week: St. Louis Cardinals vs. San Francisco Giants- Tuesday, July 1

BetAnySports’ MLB Pick of the Week: Detroit Tigers vs. Texas Rangers- Tuesday, June 24

Detroit Tigers vs. Texas Rangers- Tuesday, June 24


In a battle between two teams heading in opposite directions, the
Detroit Tigers will put their current four-game winning streak on the
line this Tuesday night against the struggling Texas Rangers at Globe
Life Park in Arlington. This series opener is set to get underway at
8:05 p.m. (ET) and it will be broadcast nationally on the MLB Network.


Detroit has had its own share of struggles over the past few weeks
but it has appeared to have righted the ship with a three-game sweep of
Cleveland this past weekend following a 2-1 victory over Kansas City
last Thursday as a 156 home favorite on BetAnySports’
closing MLB moneyline. This helped to erase the memory of a 3-7 slide
in its previous 10 games. It is now 40-32 on the year with a solid 21-13
record on the road. The total has gone OVER in the Tigers’ last three
outings after pounding out a total of 21 runs against the Indians.


This burst of power at the plate has the Tigers ranked sixth in the
American League in scoring with an average of 4.56 runs per game.
Overall pitching continues to be an issue with a team ERA of 4.12. Drew
Smyly is scheduled to get the start for Detroit in Tuesday night’s
series opener. The left-hander has looked sharp in the month of June
with a 1.89 ERA and a OPS of .624 in his last three starts.


The Rangers’ losing streak reached five games after getting swept by
the Los Angeles Angels in three games this past weekend. This came on
the heels of a 2-1 series loss to Oakland that has them trailing the
Athletics in the AL West by 11.5 games with an overall record of 35-40.
Texas is 16-19 at home this season and the total has gone OVER in seven
of their last nine home games.


Texas matches-up well against the Tigers in scoring with an average
of 4.24 runs per game but its pitching staff has been even shakier this
season with a staff ERA of 4.51, which is ranked last in the AL. The
Rangers will turn to Colby Lewis as their starter for Tuesday night. It
has been rough go of it for the right-hander in his last six starts
after allowing five earned runs in four of those outings. Overall, he is
5-4 this season with a 5.97 ERA through 12 previous starts.


BetAnySports
has opened Detroit as a slight -107 road favorite for this contest and
despite the fact that it is just 1-5 in its last six road games against
the Rangers, I am sticking with the hot hand in this one with a play on
the Tigers.

BetAnySports’ MLB Pick of the Week: Detroit Tigers vs. Texas Rangers- Tuesday, June 24

BetAnySports’ MLB Pick of the Week: Houston Astros vs, Washington Nationals- Tuesday, June 17

Houston Astros vs, Washington Nationals- Tuesday, June 17


BetAnySports’ Line: Nationals -139/129 and the Total is 7 1/2 (over is -120)


The Houston Astros are already 11 games back in the AL West Division
race at 32-39 on the year, but they will be looking to extend the
Washington Nationals’ current losing streak to five games this Tuesday
night when the two clash in Game 1 of this quick two-game interleague
matchup.


The Astros have actually won seven of their last 11 games, but they
head into this series fresh-off a 4-3 loss to Tampa Bay as 150 underdogs
at home this past Sunday on BetAnySports’ closing MLB moneyline.
They lost two of three to the Rays this past weekend after winning
three of four against Arizona in a home-and-home series this past week.
Houston will be on the road for the next six games after posting a 15-19
mark away from home this year. The total has stayed UNDER in five of
its last seven games.


The good news for Astros’ fans in this game is that Dallas Keuchel
will get the start. The left-hander has been the shining star of this
rotation with an 8-3 record in 13 previous starts. He has posed a win in
six of his last seven trips to the mound and his overall ERA this
season is just 2.38 with a 0.99 WHIP. Even with that impressive resume, BetAnySports has opened Houston as a 120 road underdog for this game. The total has been set at seven.


Washington’s recent slide can be primarily attributed to a power
failure throughout its lineup. The Nationals have been outscored 17-4 in
their last four games and they are coming off a three-game sweep at the
hands of St. Louis that knocked them out of first place in the NL East.
Washington now trails Atlanta by a game with an overall record of
35-33. It is 19-15 at Nationals Park this season and the total stayed
UNDER in three of its last four home games.


Look for Tanner Roark to get the call as Washington’s starter for
Tuesday night. The right-hander is coming off a solid outing in which he
allowed just two runs on seven hits in six-plus innings of work against
San Francisco. He is 5-4 on the year in 13 previous starts with an ERA
of 2.92. Roark has a 1.06 WHIP and 66 strikeouts on the year.


BetAnySports total line for Tuesday night’s clash of seven is more
than enough to make a play on the UNDER in this game. The total has
stayed UNDER in four of Washington’s last six games and it is staying
UNDER again in this series opener against Houston.

BetAnySports’ MLB Pick of the Week: Houston Astros vs, Washington Nationals- Tuesday, June 17

BetAnySports’ NBA Finals Pick of the Week: San Antonio Spurs vs. Miami Heat Game 3

San Antonio Spurs vs. Miami Heat Game 3- Tuesday, June 10


BetAnySports’ Line: Heat -4 1/2 and the Total sits at 197


After these two NBA powers split a pair of games at AT&T Center
to kick-off this year’s rematch in the NBA Finals, the San Antonio Spurs
and the Miami Heat will be at it again this Tuesday night at
AmericanAirlines Arena for Game 3 of this epic best-of-seven clash.
BetAnySports has opened the Heat as four-point favorites to take the 2-1
series edge and the total for this game has been set at 198.


San Antonio was firing on all cylinders in its 110-95 win in Game 1
as a 5.5-point home favorite, especially in the fourth quarter of that
contest with 36 points. That number was almost cut in half in this past
Sunday’s 98-96 loss as a four-point favorite at home on BetAnySports’
closing betting line. The Spurs shot just 43.9 percent from the field in
that loss after lighting things up with a 58.8 shooting percentage in
Game 1.


Tony Parker leads the team in scoring with 17.5 points per game in
this year’s playoffs and he scored a team-high 21 points in Sunday’s
loss. The Spurs are averaging 106.2 PPG in 20 previous postseason games
while shooting 48.5 percent from the field. They are 6-3 both
straight-up and against the spread in their last nine games and the
total has stayed UNDER in seven of their last 10 contests.


LeBron James caught some major flack for bowing out early in Game 1
with severe leg cramps as the temperature on court exceeded 90 degrees
in light of an air-conditioning failure at the AT&T Center. He
responded in typical fashion by putting up a game-high 35 points while
pulling down 10 rebounds in Sunday’s win. He leads the Heat in points
(27.5), rebounds (6.9) and assists (4.8) in 17 playoff games this year
and his performance on the court from here on in will clearly dictate
whether or not Miami wins its third-straight NBA title.


The Heat are 5-2 both SU and ATS in their last seven games, but when
you narrow things down to their last four playoff games, they are just
2-2 both ways. Sunday’s win improved their record to a perfect 4-0 SU
and ATS in their last four playoff games following a SU loss. The
concern for Tuesday’s game is a 2-5 mark ATS in their last seven game
following a SU win.


Bank on this trend holding true for Game 3. The Heat may still get
the SU win on their home court, but I am taking the Spurs and the 4 1/2
points on BetAnySports’ current NBA betting odds for this game.
