Coming off of the franchise’s first World Series victory, the Houston Astros picked up where they left off. They sit at the top of the AL West and have proven that they can win against any opponent. That success has been predicated on the Astros’ top pitching rotation, which leads the Majors in ERA (2.58) and Quality Starts (40).

Lance McCullers Jr. is set to take the mound for the Astros in the opening game against the Sox.

As great as the Astros have been to open the season, Boston has been even better. They own the best record in the MLB and have been lethal on the road (19-9). Despite being up against the defending champs, Boston will look to flex their muscles and challenge the Astros at home.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Red Sox LH Drew Pomeranz (1-2, 6.75 ERA) vs. Astros RH Lance McCullers Jr. (6-3, 3.98)

NBA Playoffs Tuesday Free Pick- Golden State at Houston Game 7

NBA Playoffs Tuesday Free Pick- Golden State at Houston Game 7A trip the NBA Finals out of the Western Conference is up for grabs this Monday night.  This is when the Golden State Warriors making one final trip to the Toyota Center to face the Houston Rockets. Tip-off for Golden State at Houston Game 7 of the conference finals is set for 9 p.m. on TNT. BetAnySports has listed Golden State as a six-point road favorite with the total set at 208.

The Warriors lived to play another day with Saturday’s 115-86 victory as 12.5-point home favorites with BetAnySports. The total stayed UNDER 214.5 points in that game and it has stayed UNDER in the last four games of this best-of-seven series. Golden State goes back on the road with a 3-4 record both straight-up and against the spread through seven road games in this year’s playoffs. The total has stayed UNDER in five of the Warriors’ last six games played on the road.

The Big Three



The trio of Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson are each averaging at least 20 points a game in the postseason. Durant has been the team’s leading scorer through 16 playoff games with 28.7 points per game. Curry has played in nine of those games and his scoring average is 24.6 PPG. The Warriors were the highest scoring team in the NBA in the regular season (113.5) and they are averaging 109.6 points in the playoffs.

Houston trailed in this series through the first three games before posting back-to-back wins on the road and at home as an underdog to take the 3-2 series lead. The Rockets jumped out to a 17-point lead at the end of the first quarter of Game 6 before letting their chance to end this series slip away. They are 7-2 SU in nine previous home games this postseason with a 5-4 record ATS. The total has stayed UNDER BetAnySports’ closing line in two of their last three games at home.

Chris Paul looks to be a game-time decision after missing Game 6 with an injured hamstring. He has been an instrumental part of Houston’s success thanks to an impressive record on the court.  Paul has averaged 21.1 points, 5.9 rebounds and 5.8 assists in 15 playoff games. James Harden remains the Rockets’ leading scorer with 28.4 PPG while adding 5.2 rebounds and 6.9 assists a game. Houston has averaged 105.8 PPG in the postseason.

Even if Paul is able to go, I would still lean towards Golden State winning Game 7 SU. However, I am taking the six points at BetAnySports with Houston covering ATS.

NBA Eastern Conference Finals Has Reached Pinnacle Game 7

Eastern Conference Finals

Celtics and Cavs Both Banged Up and Ready to Rumble



Game Seven of the NBA's Eastern Conference Finals is amongst us. It should be a classic. The Cleveland Cavaliers and the Boston Celtics take both of their banged up squads to talk on Sunday when they battle at TD Garden. The Celtics have found new potential superstars and the Cavs are finding out how much they can lean on King James.

Oddsmakers opened the Celtics as -2-point favorites versus the Cavaliers, while the game's total opened at 201.5.  The total has slipped to 198.5 and the line is not Boston -2.5.

King James scored 46 points in another elimination-game for the Cavaliers in Cleveland on Friday night. Now James returns to the scene of his 2012 magic with the Heat. He is going to try to will the Cavs to a win in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals Sunday night.

This will not be an easy task for James and his hobbled teammates. They will look to hand the Celtics their only loss in 11 postseason home games. The task got a lot tougher Saturday.

It was announced that Kevin Love is in the league's concussion protocol and is out for Game 7. He banged heads with Jason Taytum and had to leave Game 6.

Boston Looks to Keep From Making Celtics History in Eastern Conference Finals



The Celtics have never lost a series they've led 2-0. This postseason has made it 36 and 37 straight with this year's first two rounds.

Boston took the first three home games in the series by an average of 17 points. They already have one Game 7 home win under its belt in the postseason after knocking off the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round.

Rozier scored a series-high 28 points on 10-of-16 shooting in Game 6. He had slumped to eight points on 3-of-15 in Game 5.

Jaylen Brown is averaging 20.8 points in the series.

Can James Make it to 8 Straight NBA Finals Appearances



James is seeking his eighth straight trip to the NBA Finals. He comes in averaging 34.9 in Game 7s. That is including his 45 to help eliminate the Indiana Pacers in this year's first round. He has averaged 34 per game in going 13-9 in elimination games for his career.

In Game 6 of the 2012 Eastern finals he has a stat line of 45 points, 15 rebounds and five assists. This helped to keep the Miami Heat alive before they won Game 7 back home.

In this series lebron has averaged 39 points per game at home. That drops to 27.7 per in the three games in Boston. Love is averaging 13.9 points and 10.0 rebounds this postseason.

George Hill scored a postseason-best 20 points on 7-of-12 shooting in Game 6. Kyle Korver is 10-of-17 from 3-point range over the last four games.

Eastern Conference Finals: King James Looks to Stave Off Elimination

Eastern Conference Finals

Boston Takes 3-2 Lead in Eastern Conference Finals on Road



The Boston Celtics and the Cleveland Cavaliers meet in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Friday. ESPN will have the telecast being played at Quicken Loans Arena. Tipoff is for a little bit after 8:30 pm EST.

Oddsmakers opened the Cavaliers as -7-point favorites versus the Celtics, while the game's total opened at 201.5. The line is now Cleveland -6.5 and the total is 201.

The Stage is Set for Lebron



No player in the NBA is better with his teams' back is against the wall than Lebron James.

King James has played 21 games with his team facing elimination in the playoffs. James is averaging an NBA-record 33.5 points. He has played in seven of these games with the Cavs dating to the 2015 playoffs.

Lebron is he averaging 36.9 points, 12.0 rebounds, and 9.1 assists in those games. He has scored 40 or more five times. Cleveland has won four of those games. The home team has won every game in this series. So things look a little brighter tonight for the Cavs.

James finished the Game 5 loss with 26 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists. He committed six turnovers and looked tired a few times during the game.

Kevin Love was the only other Cavs player who scored in double figures.

JR Smith is averaging just 5.2 points on 9-of-39 shooting in the series.

Boston Looking for First Finals Trip Since 2010



The Celtics have two chances to go to their first Finals since 2010. That was the last year a non-LeBron team represented the East. Boston knocked out James and the Cavs in six games in the second round that year. James left the Cavs for the Miami Heat after the season.

The Celtics won Game 5 96-83, even though they shot just 36 percent from the floor.

Boston's defense was smothering, as it has been. The Cavs were forced into 15 turnovers. The Celtics changed their starting lineup and went big. They inserted Aron Baynes for Marcus Morris. They often played both of them with Al Horford.

Boston also won the rebounding battle. They outrebounded the Cavs 45-39. Jayson Tatum scored 24 points for his ninth 20-point game in the playoffs. That ties Donovan Mitchell and David Robinson for second all time among rookies.

Tatum is putting together one of the best scoring playoff runs by a rookie in NBA history. He has scored 312 points and trails only Elgin Baylor (331), Alvan Adams (341) and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (352).

Stanley Cup Finals: Vegas Makes It in Inaugural Season

Stanley Cup Finals 2018

Vegas Makes Stanley Cup in Inaugural Season



The Stanley Cup Finals are among us. The Vegas Golden Knights are on a historic run that the National Hockey League has never seen before. They’ve set new records for an expansion team in nearly every category.

This week they’ll set another by becoming the only expansion club in NHL history to play a game in the Stanley Cup Finals.

Bet on hockey at Bovada and get a free 50% bonus.

The Golden Knights eclipsed the Florida Panthers’ 83-point season from 1993-94. They did it with ease by scoring 109-points. The Vegas Golden Knights have the best season by an NHL expansion team in history. They are playing like a team possessed.

Knights Kicked Into High Gear When Playoffs Began



Once the Stanley Cup Playoffs started, the Golden Knights hit another stride. They’ve lost only three out of 15 games. That success has been primarily on the back of the three-time Cup winner goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury.

The former Penguin and likely playoff MVP has been outstanding these playoffs. He’s put up a 1.68 goals against average and a .947 save percentage. He’s made big saves when the Knights have needed him, but more importantly, Fleury has been a model of consistency for his team.

Lord Stanley may be basking in the Nevada sun this summer. Don’t miss Game 1 of what is sure to be a fantastic final on Monday Night.

PGA Tour Golf -- Ft. Worth Invitational a Look Ahead to U.S. Open and More!!!

PGA Tour Fort Worth Invitational

Fort Worth Invitational Gives PGA Tour Fans Look at US Open



The U.S. Open is less than a month away and for many, the Ft. Worth Invitational is a warm-up. Don’t misunderstand, Colonial is a very competitive tournament and will be hard fought all weekend long. At the end of the opening round on Thursday Kevin Na found himself atop the leaderboard with a 62 and a 1 shot lead.

Bettors Finding Balance Between NHL, MLB and NBA

Thursday was a great day of golf and the leaderboard is jam packed.

Tentative Top 10 Leaderboard:



1 Kevin Na -8

2 Charley Hoffman -7

T3 Emiliano Grillo -6

T3 Jhonattan Vegas -6

T3 Andrew Putnam -6

T3 Beau Hossler -6

7 Steve Stricker -5

T8 Ben Martin -5

T8 Kevin Tway -4

T8 Shawn Stefani -4

The crowd at the top is much too long to list, it’s jam packed and Fridays action is sure to yield a huge difference at the end of the day. The interesting thing about this list is the odds to win this tournament. There is not one top ten from the leaderboard that is favored in the Las Vegas top ten-odds to win.

Check out the current top ten odds on to win:



Jordan Speith 9/1

John Rahm 14/1

Justin Rose 18/1

Webb Simpson 18/1

Rickie Fowler 20/1

Matt Kuchar 25/1

Aaron Wise 28/1

Adam Scott 28/1

Jimmy Walker 28/1

Brooks Koepka 28/1

Top PGA Tour Names Not on List



There are two names missing from this list that really stand out after the opening round. Kevin Na, simply because he shot a 62 and is the current leader at -1 and the other would be Steve Stricker who is number 7 on the leaderboard. Kevin Na opened the day at 55/1 odds to win this tournament and Stricker at 66/1. Check with your favorite online bookmaker for the current odds.

In golf anything can happen and odds are that NA will not hang on, but what if he does? Vegas is often wrong on golf odds. They simply don’t invest the kind of time necessary to handicapping this sport. They love big names such as Tiger and Phil but at the end of the day, how many tournaments have Tiger and Phil won lately? Neither of these two are playing in this one. Stricker is the standout that has the experience and experience down the stretch will count, it will go a very long ways. Stricker is a fantastic buy at whatever price you can get him for.

Golf Betting - Mickelson: Will He Win Another Major?



Kevin Na turned pro in 2001 and has only won four times and only once on the PGA tour. He has had some good tournaments and finished 12th in the Masters-2012, and 2015. He finished 7th in the 2016 U.S. Open, 22nd in The Open Championship (2016) and 10th in the PGA Championship, 2011.

Learn more about how to bet on Golf – Match ups , Props, Top 3 and More

Na plays consistently good golf and although he rarely wins, he makes the cut and he stays in contention. He might turn the corner in Ft. Worth. He has a shot and right now his toughest competition is Steve Stricker.

Find a bookie that offers head to head matchups and play Stricker and Na. Then look for the best odds on 5-10 players of choice and lay the numbers. In golf you never know and it’s a must to bet across the top ten and even beyond.

Four days is a long stretch of golf, can Na keep up the pace? He probably can. Shop around for the best odds and look for a sportsbook  that has a great reputation for fast payouts and great customer service. Most of all have fun betting and hopefully winning this weekend.

Rockets and Warriors Tied at 2 in Western Conference Finals

2018 NBA Western Conference Finals

Western Conference Finals Goes Back to Houston



The Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets will square off in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals on Thursday  at Toyota Center. Tipoff is scheduled for a few minutes after 9 pm EST on TNT.

Oddsmakers opened the Rockets as -1-point favorites versus the Warriors, while the game's total opened at 223.5. Golden State is now a 1.5 point favorite. The total is down to 218.5.

Game Four was a classic. Houston was Staring at a 10-point deficit heading into the fourth quarter. Losing puts them in a 3-1 series hol. The Rockets came alive and reestablished homecourt advantage in the Western Conference finals.

Houston salvaged its championship notions with great coaching and execution. They have methodically invited the Warriors to play their brand of isolation basketball. It has influenced Golden State for long enough stretches to temporarily secure a style of play that benefits Houston.

Warriors Have to Control the Tempo



In Game Four the Warriors claimed their largest lead of the night at 82-70. Stephen Curry assisted on a Shaun Livingston dunk at the 10:45 mark. That produced the 14th and final assist of the night for Golden State. The Warriors only scored 12 points in the quarter.

The Warriors led the NBA in assist percentage at 68.5% during the regular season. The Rockets rely on the isolation brilliance of James Harden and Chris Paul. Golden State features two exceptional one-on-one talents in Kevin Durant and Curry, but isolation basketball isn't their identity as a team.

The Warriors' 14 assists in Game 4 was a series low. Their 48.2 assist rate in the series is worse than the Rockets' assist percentage of 49.3. It is a surprising development. The 4th period on Tuesday revealed Golden State at its most unrecognizable.

Golden State held Houston to 39 percent shooting in Game 4. This is overshadowed by having surrendered 34 points in the second quarter and 25 in the fourth.

The Warriors shot 39.3 percent from the floor in the loss. All-Star shooting guard Klay Thompson was held to 10 points on 4-of-13 shooting. He is averaging only 10.3 points over the last three games after going off for 28 in Game 1.

Kevin Durant recorded his first double-double of the series with 27 points and 12 rebounds on Tuesday.

Rockets Must Play Defense



The Rockets have a clear understanding of their immediate mission. Their season-long defensive might, and fight, has served them well during critical spans against the Warriors. Houston has been scrambling and contesting shots and passes at a fevered pitch.

That level of committment and perserverance wasn't attached to the Rockets' identity.  Nor was it aligned to Harden individually. In Game 4 the Rockets finally won at Oracle Arena and snapped the Warriors' 16-game home postseason winning streak. Houston had fallen to the Warriors in five games in consecutive postseasons.

The Rockets have finally shrugged one monkey off their backs. Another one awaits. They have to win and take control of the series. Houston needs two wins over the next three games to knock the Warriors off their throne.

The Warriors three-year reign as Western Conference champs could be in jeapordy with the Rockets playing two of the last three at home.

Eric Gordon is 3-of-16 from 3-point range over the last two games.

NBA Playoffs Tuesday Free Pick- Houston at Golden State Game 4

NBA Playoffs Western Conference Finals

Rockets Have to Play Well on Road in NBA Playoffs



The NBA Playoffs Western Conference Finals are well underway. The Houston Rockets and the Golden State Warriors resume their matchup in this season’s Western Conference Finals on Tuesday night. We can only hope Game 4 of this best-of-seven clash is as entertaining as the rest.

Tip off from ORACLE Arena on TNT is set for 9 p.m. VietBet opened the Warriors as 8.5-point home favorites with the total set at 223 points. The line has held steady, but the total has eased up to 224.

Houston salvaged a split at home in the first two games of this series with a solid 127-105 victory in Game 2. They were a slight two-point home favorite. Gaining a split on the road in the next two games could be a much taller task.

Sunday’s 126-85 loss as a 7.5-point road underdog showed the Rockets have to play perfect. The total stayed UNDER the VietBet closing 226-point line and it has stayed UNDER in two of the first three games in this conference finals showdown.

James Harden continues to lead the way in scoring with a team-high 20 points in Sunday’s 41-point loss. To say this team quit in that game would be an understatement. The Rockets trailed by 11 points at the half before phoning it in over the next two quarters.

They shot 39.5 percent from the field while converting on 32.4 percent of their 34 shots from three-point range.

Golden State Still Cream of Crop in the West



Many NBA experts thought the gap between Golden State and Houston had been dramatically narrowed this season. Sunday’s lopsided victory demonstrated that a pretty wide gap between the top two teams in the West may still exist. The Warriors opened this series with a statement in a 119-106 victory as 2.5-point road underdogs.

They are now 3-2 against the spread in their last five postseason games. They posted an even 4-4 record ATS in their first eight games of the playoffs. The total has stayed UNDER the VietBet closing line in seven of their last 10 contests.

If there were any lingering concerns with the health of Stephen Curry’s left knee, he should have put them to rest on Sunday. With a game-high 35 points, he proved he is healthy, while connecting on 13 of his 23 shots from the field. Golden State shot 52.2 percent in that game with all five starters scoring in double figures.

Houston will be in real trouble in this series with another loss on Tuesday night. This should be enough motivation to keep the final score closer than 8.5 points win or lose.
