BaseBrawl is Back as Red Sox Hosts Yankees

Primadonna Red Sox and Yankees Players Start SJW Brawl

The New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox will meet on the field at Fenway Park on Thursday in a battle of division rivals. The New York Yankees avenged a lopsided loss against the Boston Red Sox in the series opener. They did so showing some fight, while both teams cried like little bitches.

Unwritten Baseball Rule: You get spiked in baseball as a infielder. Above the Knee it is Dirty, Below the Knee it is Clean. These SJW's need to meet with the Twins who bitched about the Orioles not giving up and bunting for a hit the other day.

I say Grow a Set of Kahoona's you spoiled brats and play Baseball. Mona Friggin' Wah, Poor Baby Got a Boo Boo.

That is both literally and offensively en route to posting just their second win in last 6 games. Two bench-clearing fracases ratcheted up the tension in this rivalry again. The long-time hated foes look to keep their emotions in check.

Mona Waa!! Red Sox and Yankees Got Boo Boo's go cry to Mama

Red Sox shortstop Brock Holt suffered a gash on his leg on a slide by New York's Tyler Austin. This was in the third inning of the Yankees' 10-7 victory that evened the series Wednesday night.

Holt was clipped by Austin's spike and didn't like it. He cried like a little bitch. The benches and bullpens emptying with no real fight. In the seventh inning, Boston pitcher Joe Kelly came inside on Austin once. Then he drilled him with the next pitch.

Austin slammed his bat down and charged the mound like the crybaby SJW that he is. The brawl that resulted saw Austin landing a roundhouse right over the pile and to the head of Boston coach Carlos Febles. The punk couldn't even square up and hit him like a man. He had to act like a chump.

NHL Playoffs: First Round Matchup Between Original Six Foes

NHL Playoffs In Full Swing Thursday Night

It’s the first game of the 2017-18 NHL Playoffs for the Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs this Thursday night. The Original Six matchup is arguably the hardest to predict as well. Both teams have elite goaltending and the offensive explosiveness needed to take them to the promised land.

Game 1 will set the stage for an exciting series between these two long-time rivals.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, NBC Sports Network, CBC, TVAS (Toronto), NESN (Boston); Odds: Boston -158-moneyline, Puck Line - Boston -1.5 +177, Total 6 Over -115

The Toronto Maple Leafs won the season series against Boston 3-1-0. This despite finishing seven points behind the Bruins in the regular season standings. They pose a real threat to a team that seemed unbeatable at times this year.

Now that the playoffs have begun, the regular season is history, and the offensively-gifted Leafs could take the next step.

Toronto may be catching Boston at an ideal time. Forwards Rick Nash, Riley Nash and Sean Kuraly all questionable for Game 1. The talented Brandon Carlo will miss the entirety of the playoffs due to a fractured ankle suffered late in the season. The Bruins still have Brad Marchand and Patrice Bergeron to make life difficult for the Leafs.

Boston will need to rely on their depth of players to shut down the second and third lines of the Leafs. Puck drop is at 7 PM ET on this series, so don’t miss a second of the action.

Timberwolves Host Nuggets -- Winner is In NBA Playoffs

Trail Blazers and Jazz -- "You're In if You Win"

The Denver Nuggets and the Minnesota Timberwolves meet at Target Center on Wednesday night. This game is the culmination of the 82 game regular season. It is winner take all. The winner of this game proceeds to the NBA playoffs.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, Altitude (Denver), FS North (Minnesota).

Oddsmakers opened the Timberwolves as -4-point favorites versus the Nuggets, while the game's total opened at 220. The line is now Minnesota -3.5 and the total is at 216.

Months of play have led to Wednesday's final regular-season game between these two teams in Minnesota. Wednesday's winner will go to the playoffs. The loser will start its offseason and prepare for the draft.

The seeding possibilities for the winner in the packed Western Conference standings are not determined yet.  A win is the only thing that matters for now for these two teams.

The Nuggets came from behind to beat Portland 88-82 on Monday to set up this showdown.

No One Expected This From Either Team, Especially the Trail Blazers

Two weeks ago it didn't seem feasible the season coming down to the final game. Minnesota was playing without All-Star Jimmy Butler. They were fading down the stretch. When the Wolves lost 100-96 at Denver on April 5, it was their final game without Butler and ended a 6-9 stretch.

Minnesota has won the past two games with Butler back in the lineup after having knee surgery. Monday's win against Portland was the Nuggets' sixth in a row.

It will be a different matchup than the one six days earlier. Butler didn't play in that game. He is still on a minutes restriction and Butler played 22:58 in Monday's win. He had 15 points, three steals and three assists.

Taj Gibson left Monday's game early with a sore neck. He is questionable for Wednesday.

The Nuggets got back guard Gary Harris on Monday. He had missed 11 games with a knee injury. He had 12 points and two steals in 18 minutes off the bench.

Minnesota is riding a 13-season playoff drought. Gibson knows the intensity that will come Wednesday. He experienced a win-and-in regular-season finale in 2010 with the Bulls. Teammate Derrick Rose also was on that Chicago team.

How to Bet On Sports - Hot NHL Stanley Cup Betting Trends

The second season in both the NHL and the NBA gets underway in April with the start of the playoffs. While just about every best-of-seven basketball series in the NBA goes chalk, playoff hockey in the NHL is different. This is because it sets the stage for upsets when it comes to Bet On Sports.   This is where every team in the tournament has a chance to get hot and make a deep run.

Betting on the NHL playoffs is all about riding the hottest trends as they unfold. NHL bettors get to enjoy this excitement over the course of this four-round run to a Stanley Cup title.

NHL Hockey Live Scores and Odds – Previews and Predictions

Riding a Hot Team

Over the course of an 82-game regular season, everyone of the 16 teams in the NHL playoffs has gotten white hot and ice cold at times. The hot teams you are looking to ride right out of the gate in the opening round are the ones that turned up the heat down the stretch run of their final 10 games.

Looking at this year’s playoff field in the Eastern Conference, one team that jumps off the list is the Washington Capitals at 8-2 over their last 10 games. The Capitals have been one of the best regular-season teams in the NHL over the past decade, but their infamous early round exits in the postseason are an almost annual occurrence.

This season, Washington opens the playoffs as one of two fourth-favorites (along with Toronto) to win the Eastern Conference title at +600 odds.  With the bar set as low as it has been in recent years, the Capitals could be poised for that deep run everyone has been waiting for.

The Winnipeg Jets (9-1) and the Anaheim Dukcs (8-1-1) would qualify as hot teams in the Western Conference. The key to betting hot teams is to ride them early. An 0-2 start to an opening round series has a way of throwing ice on that fire.

Riding a Hot Goal Scorer

Looking at this season’s top goal scorers in the NHL, the Capitals’ Alex Ovechkin topped the list with 49. He has been one of the most prolific goal scorers over the course of his 12-year NHL career. In addition, he has been known to go MIA in the goal-scoring department in the postseason. If he starts scoring goals early in Washington’s opening round series against Columbus, this would be even more reason to ride the Capitals this year.

Similar to Washington, the top goal scorer in the West just so happens to play on the hottest team in that conference. Right winger Patrik Lane is Winnipeg’s top goal scorer with 44. He has only tallied one goal in his last 10 games to lessen his value as a hot goal scorer heading into the Jets’ first round series against Minnesota. However, he has been known to score goals in bunches.  This could be the difference between an early exit and a deep playoff run for the Jets.

Riding a Hot Goalie

The most important factor for any team looking to make a run to a Stanley Cup title is a hot goalie. Trying to outscore every team you face in the postseason is a tough way to stick around in this tournament. You need a goaltender that can win a few games along the way by simply shutting the other team down.

The most interesting name on the list for the 16 playoff teams is veteran goalie Marc-Andre Fleury with the expansion Vegas Golden Knights. This team has already blown away everyone’s expectations with 109 points in 82 games during the Pacific Division title road. Fleury has been a big part of that success with a goals-against average of 2.24 complementing a .927 save percentage. He has only posted four wins in his last nine starts while missing some time with health issues, but a hot start against Los Angeles in the first round could make Vegas the ultimate hot betting team in this season’s Stanley Cup Playoffs.

NBA Tuesday Free Pick- Rockets at Lakers

Rockets Look to Close Season Strong Against Lakers

The Houston Rockets wrap up their regular season with two West Coast road games starting with Tuesday’s clash against the Los Angeles Lakers in a 10:30 p.m. start on TNT from the Staples Center.

BetAnySports has opened the Rockets as eight-point road favorites with the total set at 218. The line has held steady, but the total has dropped to 2017.

The Rockets roll into the postseason with the best record in basketball at 64-16. They are coming off a 108-102 loss to Oklahoma City on Saturday as five-point home favorites. This was second straight-up loss in four games coming off an 11-game winning streak.

They have failed to cover against the spread in four of their last five games. The total has stayed UNDER BetAnySports’ closing line in five of Houston’s last six outings.

James Harden looks ready to lead his team to a long postseason run. He is in form and led the team with a game-high 26 points against the Thunder. Harden connected on seven of his 16 shots from the field and Chris Paul added 17 points in the losing cause.

The Rockets are averaging 112.8 points per game as the NBA’s second-highest scoring team. They have failed to reach that mark in four of their last five contests.

Lakers Looking for Continued Improvement Against Rockets

Los Angeles continues to ride out the string of the NBA season. They have one SU victory over their last six games as part of a 3-10 record in its last 13 contests. The Lakers are 1-4 both SU and ATS in their last five home games.

This includes Sunday’s 112-97 loss to Utah as 9.5-point home underdogs. The total went OVER 208 points in that game on BetAnySports’ closing line and it has gone OVER in four of their last six games.

The Lakers’ depleted lineup has Kyle Kuzma and Lonzo Ball listed as day-to-day for Tuesday. Both players sat out Sunday’s game. In their absence, Josh Hart scored a team-high 25 points and Tyler Ennis added 22 points off the bench.

Los Angeles is averaging 108.1 PPG. That is ranked 10^th in the NBA. At the other end of the court, it falls into a tie for 25^th in the league in points allowed (109.8).

With nothing on the line for either team in this matchup, playing tight, shutdown defense will not be a high priority. The lean is towards Houston SU and ATS. The ‘best bet’ play is the OVER the 217 on BetAnySports’ current total line.

Orioles Host the Jays on Monday Night

Orioles and Jays Just Try to Keep up in AL East

The fans at Camden Yards will see the Toronto Blue Jays and the Baltimore Orioles when they take their seats on Monday. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 pm EST. Sportsnet (Toronto), MASN2 (Baltimore) will carry the game.

Oddsmakers opened the Orioles as -133-moneyline favorites versus the Blue Jays, while the game's total opened at 8.5. The line now is Baltimore as -113-moneyline favorites. The total is not at 7.5 Over -115.

The Blue Jays will pin their hopes on the pitching of left hander J.A. Happ in this game. Happ has a 1-1 record and a 5.40 ERA this season. He struck out nine batters in his last outing against the Chicago White Sox. Happ allowed four runs and seven hits in 5 1/3 innings.

Happ is 4-6 with a 3.45 ERA in 15 appearances against Baltimore. 14 of those appearances have been starts. He also has gone 1-2 with a 4.05 ERA at Camden Yards.

The Orioles will counter Happ with Dylan Bundy. Right hander Bundy has a 0.69 ERA to go along with a 0-0 record this season. He is the Orioles' most consistent starter. He is off to a strong start, allowing one run in 13 innings. Bundy has struck out 15 and walked three batters this season.

Bundy has been dominant against Toronto. He has gone 3-0 with a 0.76 ERA in seven appearances, including three starts.

Rugged AL East Will Require Explosive Offenses

Both teams are playing well lately. The Orioles won three of four games against the  New York Yankees in New York. The Orioles weekend included two extra inning wins. The Blue Jays took two of three against the Texas Rangers.

The Blue Jays' offense has gotten a boost from Yangervis Solarte. The kid had another two hits Sunday and is batting .308.

The Orioles hope to get Chris Davis back in the lineup. He missed the series finale against the Yankees with an illness. Davis has struggled so far this season and is batting .100.

Mark Trumbo is also progressing after starting the season on the DL with a quad strain. He will play first base at extended spring training Monday and hopes to be back soon.

Baltimore LF Trey Mancini has answered a slow start by going 6-for-19 in his last four games.

Baltimore has won 12 of the 19 meetings between the teams in 2017.

Blue Jays DH Kendrys Morales, who belted a three-run homer on Sunday, went deep four times versus the Orioles last season.
