Two teams that've positioned themselves squarely in the playoff hunt, the Philadelphia Flyers and the Washington Capitals meet at Capital One Arena. The puck drops at 7 p.m. ET on Wednesday, March 4, and you'll be able to witness this divisional matchup live on NBC Sports Network.
<h2>Philadelphia Flyers at Washington Capitals Odds</h2>
Philadelphia (+135) is currently the underdog to Washington (-155), and oddsmakers have set the Over/Under (O/U) at 7 goals. The odds for betting that total sit at -105 for the over and -115 on the under.

Washington is 40-25 straight up (SU) and has earned moneyline bettors 1.1 units this year. That winning percentage, the league's third-best so far in the early season, is fairly close to what the team posted during the 2018-19 season (48-34). Among its 65 games this season, 40 have gone over the total, while 23 have gone under and just two have pushed. The team's 18-14 SU at home this year.

The Capitals have converted on 20.3 percent of their power play opportunities this season, a figure that's right around league average. On the other hand, their penalty kill is ranked fifth overall, and they've successfully killed off 83.3 percent of all penalties.

As a team, the Capitals have been whistled for penalties 4.2 times per game overall this season, and 4.8 per game over their last five games. The team has had to kill penalties for 8.7 minutes per game over their last 10 matchups, overall.

Averaging 26.0 saves per game with a .898 save percentage, Braden Holtby (25-20-5) has been the primary goalkeeper for Washington this year. If head coach Todd Reirden decides to rest him, however, Washington could turn to Ilya Samsonov (16-9-9 record, .917 save percentage, 2.40 goals against average).

John Carlson and Alex Ovechkin will each be focal points for the Capitals. Carlson (73 points) has tallied 15 goals and 58 assists and has recorded multiple points in 23 different games this year. Ovechkin has 45 goals and 18 assists to his name and has recorded a point in 36 games.

Philadelphia has earned 10.4 units for moneyline bettors this season and is currently 38-27 straight up (SU). A total of 35 of its matches have gone over the total, while 28 have gone under the total and just two have pushed. As an away team, the Flyers are 15-18 SU.

The Flyers have converted on 21.5 percent of their power play opportunities this year, a mark that's right around league average. On the other hand, its penalty kill unit is ranked 14th overall and it's successfully killed off 81.3 percent of all penalties.

Philadelphia's players have been penalized 3.5 times per game in total this season, and 4.2 per game over their last five on the road. The team's been forced to defend opponent power plays just 8.1 minutes per game over their last 10 outings.

Carter Hart (2.51 goals against average and .909 save percentage) has been the primary option in goal for Philadelphia. Hart is averaging 22.8 saves per game and owns a 22-18-3 record.

For the visiting Flyers, the offense will be facilitated by Travis Konecny (23 goals, 37 assists) and Sean Couturier (21 goals, 37 assists).

<p>The Eastern Conference Finals begin Wednesday night when the eighth seed Miami Heat visit the top seed Boston Celtics. Boston enters this series as big favorites to advance, but never count out Jimmy Butler and the Heat in the playoffs. Below is my NBA pick for the Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-miami-heat-vs-boston-celtics-betting-pick"><a></a><a></a>Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics Betting Pick</h2>



<p>The Pick: Boston Celtics -8.0</p>



<p>This game will be played at TD Garden at 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 17, 2023.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-why-bet-the-boston-celtics"><a></a>Why Bet the Boston Celtics:</h2>



<p>✅ Boston has covered the spread in 12 of their last 17 games played.</p>



<p>✅ The Celtics have won 11 of their last 16 games overall.</p>



<p>✅ At home, the Celtics have won 11 of their last 14 at TD Garden, but they did lose two of their four home games in the second round.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-miami-heat-never-give-up"><a></a>Miami Heat Never Give Up</h2>



<p>Miami was one game away from not making it out of the play-in tournament, but a few weeks later and they are now in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Heat upset the top seed Milwaukee Bucks in the first round and followed that up with a series win over the fifth seed New York Knicks.</p>



<p>Jimmy Butler has been fantastic these playoffs as he leads the Heat with 31.1 points, 5.4 assists, and 1.7 steals per game. The next closest Heat player, in regards to points, is Bam Adebayo who is averaging 18.1 through 11 games. Adebayo also leads Miami with 9.2 rebounds per game. Eight different Heat players are averaging double-digit points through the first two rounds. A total team effort by Miami.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-boston-celtics-are-a-confusing-team">The Boston Celtics Are a Confusing Team</h2>



<p>Boston has been a hard team to figure out these playoffs as they have struggled in both of their series wins. The Celtics needed six games to knock out the seventh seed Atlanta Hawks and needed to come back from 3-2 down to get past the third seed Philadelphia 76ers. Boston may be getting into form and that could be trouble for the Heat.</p>



<p>Jayson Tatum had a historic game seven in the second round, and he has been the leader for Boston these playoffs. Tatum leads the way with 28.2 points, 10.6 rebounds, and 5.2 assists per game. Al Horford has added a team high of 1.3 steals and 2.2 blocks. Jaylen Brown has been solid this postseason as he is averaging 24.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 3.4 assists through 13 games.</p>

Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics Game 1 Betting Pick - 05/17/23

<p>Game three of a Western Conference Second Round series is set for Friday night when the Denver Nuggets visit the Phoenix Suns. Denver took care of business at home and will not look to take a commanding 3-0 series lead on the Suns home court. Below is my NBA pick for the Denver Nuggets vs Phoenix Suns.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-denver-nuggets-vs-phoenix-suns-betting-pick"><a></a><a></a>Denver Nuggets vs Phoenix Suns Betting Pick</h2>



<p>The Pick: Denver Nuggets +3.5</p>



<p>This game will be played at Footprint Center at 10:00 p.m. on Friday, May 5, 2023.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-why-bet-the-denver-nuggets"><a></a>Why Bet the Denver Nuggets:</h2>



<p>✅ Denver has looked like the best team in the league and have covered the spread in six of their last eight games played.</p>



<p>✅ The Nuggets have covered the spread in five straight games against the Suns.</p>



<p>✅ Phoenix has covered the spread in just one of their last six games played.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-denver-nuggets-should-be-title-favorites"><a></a>Denver Nuggets Should be Title Favorites</h2>



<p>Denver looked impressive in their first round series win over Minnesota, and that continued into the second round against Phoenix. The Nuggets comfortably took care of the Suns in Denver as they won game one by 18 points and game two 97-87.</p>



<p>Game two was an ugly one and it took a big fourth quarter for the Nuggets to grab the double-digit win. The Suns led by three after the first quarter and maintained a two-point lead at the half. Denver trailed by three heading into the fourth quarter, but they were the better team and were able to get the big win.</p>



<p>Nikola Jokic continued to ball out as he led the Nuggets with 39 points, 16 rebounds, and five assists in the game two win. Jamal Murray added 10 points, four rebounds, and eight assists on the night.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-phoenix-suns-just-need-to-take-care-of-business">The Phoenix Suns Just Need to Take Care of Business</h2>



<p>Phoenix is down 2-0 in the series, but all they need to do is take care of business at home and make this a best of three series to end. The bigger challenge for the Suns is that they are without Chris Paul, but there is still plenty of talent on this team to get two home wins.</p>



<p>In the game two loss, Devin Booker went off with 35 points, five rebounds, and six assists. Kevin Duranty added 24 points, eight rebounds, and three assists on the night.</p>

Denver Nuggets vs Phoenix Suns Game 3 Pick &amp; Prediction

Fans are coming soon to the UFC, but for now, we’ll still be handicapping fight cards at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. After a dud of a card last week with two No Contest endings on the main card and no bonus awarded for Fight of the Night, Dana White and the UFC matchmakers will hope for a better showing this week.

The main event of UFC Vegas 22 / UFC on ESPN 21 features Derek Brunson up against Kevin Holland. This should be a good main event to cap off a card with 12 fights scheduled and the possibility for a 13th. Anthony Birchak’s scheduled opponent, Johnny Eduardo, had to withdraw because of visa issues. If UFC finds a replacement, we’ll have 13 fights.

Odds are posted over at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline"><strong>BetOnline Sportsbook</strong></a>, where you can get a <a href="http://bangthebook.com/betonline-sportsbook-offering-5-bitcoin-boost-on-deposits/698761/"><strong>5% Bitcoin Boost</strong></a> on deposits using that cryptocurrency through March 21. Let’s take a look and find some picks on the card.
<h3><strong><u>Bruno Silva (+122) vs. JP Buys (-142); Total: 2.5 (-170/140)</u></strong></h3>
JP Buys will fight under contract for the first time as he takes on Bruno Silva in the flyweight opener for this UFC Vegas 22 card. Buys is the favorite here after an impressive debut on the Dana White Contender Series in November, 367 days after his only LFA fight. The veteran Silva lost both of his 2020 fights by unanimous decision. This is potentially the end of the UFC road for Silva, who is technically 0-3 in the UFC. He lost to Khalid Taha, but Taha popped a positive test for a banned substance. Buys should win here.
<h3><strong><u>Julija Stoliarenko (+300) vs. Julia Avila (-375); Total: 2.5 (-200/160)</u></strong></h3>
Former Invicta Phoenix Series champ Julija Stoliarenko will hope for a better outcome than her UFC debut. She lost to Yana Kunitskaya, but Kunitskaya’s upset win over Ketlen Vieira last month bumped her stock a bit. The 32-year-old Julia Avila is coming off of just the second loss of his career. Losing to Sijara Eubanks isn’t a very good look these days, but Avila got very little going and struggled badly with her wrestling. She should bounce back here, but no way would I lay this exorbitant price. Eight of Stoliarenko’s nine wins have come via submission and Eubanks had 10 takedowns in the last fight.
<h3><strong><u>Jesse Strader (+550) vs. Montel Jackson (-750); Total: 2.5 (160/-190)</u></strong></h3>
The UFC has taken a lot of fighters lately from Combate Americas. Jesse Strader is another one. He’ll make his UFC debut here fighting for the first time since 8/2/19 as a massive underdog against Montel Jackson. Jackson hasn’t been terribly impressive in his UFC fights, but the price says it all here. However, there isn’t much betting value on this one, other than maybe the over 2.5 at +160. Jackson has gone the distance in four of his five fights under contract.
<h3><strong><u>Trevin Giles (+116) vs. Roman Dolidze (-136); Total: 2.5 (105/-135)</u></strong></h3>
Trevin Giles was originally set to face Dricus du Plessis, but Roman Dolidze will step in on short notice because of visa issues. Dolidze slots in as a -136 favorite. He is 8-0 in his career with seven stoppage wins and then a split-decision dub over John Allan back in December. That was his second UFC fight and it was a lot more like a unanimous decision win. He outclassed Allan in the fight with more top control, more takedowns, and a lot more strikes, both overall and significant. The judging was poor for that fight. The split-decision and the late replacement seem to give Dolidze some pretty solid value here with a cheap favorite price.
<h3><strong><u>Leonardo Santos (+180) vs. Grant Dawson (-210); Total: 2.5 (-175/145)</u></strong></h3>
Leonardo Santos only has one loss since 2009. That came against Santiago Ponzinibbio in the TUF 2 Brazil semifinals. Santos shook off a long hiatus to knock out Stevie Ray and then beat Roman Bogatov over a year later at UFC 251. Santos won the fight convincingly, but Bogatov was docked a point for an illegal knee. Santos now draws in against Grant Dawson, who is 16-1 in his career with four wins under UFC contract. Dawson has 11 submission wins to his name. Santos has nine and has never tapped out. This looks like a quality fight on the undercard. Santos at +180 seems a little bit high, but this one probably goes the distance with two guys that haven’t been stopped, so over 2.5 at -175 is what makes the most sense to me.
<h3><strong><u>Marion Reneau (+176) vs. Macy Chiasson (-206); Total: 2.5 (-225/185)</u></strong></h3>
This could very well be the end of the road for Marion Reneau. The 43-year-old has lost three fights in a row and this fight was pushed back after she tested positive for COVID-19. A loss here would mean that Reneau has gone since 2/24/18 without a win. A UFC release would likely come soon after and she is a big underdog to Macy Chiasson. The TUF 28 champion is 3-1 since beating Pannie Kianzad for that title. This is an important fight for Chiasson in that she can’t lose it. She has a five-inch height advantage, more reach, and is the younger, faster, stronger fighter. A loss here would be a devastating setback. It shouldn’t happen.

<h3><strong><u>Montserrat</u></strong><strong><u> Ruiz (+280) vs. Cheyanne Buys (-355); Total: 2.5 (-260/200)</u></strong></h3>
Diminutive women’s strawweight Montserrat Ruiz makes her UFC debut against 25-year-old Cheyanne Buys. Buys was originally slated to fight Kay Hansen in what would have been a tremendously interesting fight between hot prospects in the division, but Hansen withdrew from the fight the week before the event. Ruiz is 9-1, but stands only five feet tall. She is 1-1 in Invicta. The only loss for Buys came in Invicta back in 2018. She hasn’t really fought anybody of note and won’t here, but winds up a clear favorite when she would have been a dog to Hansen.
<h3><strong>Pick: Cheyanne Buys</strong></h3>
<h3><strong><u>Song Kenan (+170) vs. Max Griffin (-195); Total: 2.5 (-210/170)</u></strong></h3>
We haven’t seen Song Kenan in a while. He last fought before the pandemic really took hold with a win over Callan Potter back on 2/22/20. It was Song’s fourth win in five fights in the UFC and his third via knockout. The 31-year-old is 14-2 in fights that end in a stoppage and just 2-3 in fights that don’t. With the total juiced more than $2 on over 2.5, that would seem to be a bad omen for his chances.

On the other hand, 35-year-old Max Griffin is only 2-3 in his last five UFC fights. He caught UFC debutant Ramiz Brahimaj in a terrible spot back in November and scored a knockout win in a fight that he was leading by the scorecards, but it still hadn’t been that impressive of a performance. To be honest, I can’t justify the high price on Griffin. Both of his recent wins have come against UFC debutants. Song has a lot more experience than that.
<h3><strong>Pick: Song Kenan</strong></h3>
<h3><strong><u>Gustavo Lopez (+180) vs. Adrian Yanez (-210); Total: 2.5 (135/-165)</u></strong></h3>
Former Combate Americas champion Gustavo Lopez will fight in the UFC for the third time in this matchup against Adrian Yanez. As you can see, Yanez is a big favorite over Lopez, who is 1-1 in the UFC. Lopez is only 6-4 over his last 10 fights. The 27-year-old Yanez is yet another recent Dana White Contender Series graduate to get a contract. He beat up Brady Huang with a 39-second KO and then handled Victor Rodriguez with ease a couple months later.

One of Yanez’s losses came against Miles Johns, who is now a UFC regular. He also lost to Domingo Pilarte, who is on a UFC contract as well. Yanez is the taller, rangier fighter here, so both of those things work in his favor and he’s also simply had the better body of work.
<h3><strong>Pick: Adrian Yanez</strong></h3>
<h3><strong><u>Don’Tale Mayes (+171) vs. Tai Tuivasa (-201); Total: 1.5 (-170/140)</u></strong></h3>
Don’Tale Mayes badly needed a win back in November over Roque Martinez and he got it. Of course, he was also a -230 favorite, so it was expected. Mayes is on the fourth fight of his contract after a good showing against Ricardo Prasel back in 2018 on the Contender Series. Mayes probably isn’t at risk of getting cut, as heavyweights always seem to be in short supply, but he would be best-served to look as good as possible here against Tui Tuivasa.

Speaking of fighters that badly needed a win, Tuivasa got that against Stefan Struve back in October. That win snapped a three-fight losing streak for the 28-year-old Australian. Tuivasa has a new training team and a new focus, but he’s still been something of a disappointment in recent fights. I can’t lay over $2 with him here, but I definitely don’t like Mayes either. Maybe the total is the way to attack this.
<h3><strong>Pick: Over 1.5</strong></h3>
<h3><strong><u>Brad Riddell (+205) vs. Gregor Gillespie (-240); Total: 2.5 (-115/-115)</u></strong></h3>
Another weak UFC card is drawing to a close here with Brad Riddell against Gregor Gillespie. We don’t have a lot of overwhelming favorites, but there are a lot of favorites from -175 up to -250 and we have another one here in Gillespie. Gillespie is something of a scary favorite, given that he has not fought since 11/2/19 when he suffered the first setback of his career against Kevin Lee. The 33-year-old was riding quite a high, but that stopped pretty abruptly.

Riddell is 3-0 in UFC, but this is a very big step up in class against the former Division I wrestler and kickboxer. Riddell went 2-0 last year, with wins over Magomend Mustafaev and Alex Da Silva. The Da Silva win was impressive, but two of Da Silva’s three losses have now come since he joined UFC. Though Riddell has gone to decision in four straight fights, Gillespie pushes the issue. Gillespie by stoppage to cut down the juice makes sense if you have that option.
<h3><strong>Pick: Gregor Gillespie</strong></h3>
<h3><strong><u>Derek Brunson (+143) vs. Kevin Holland (-163); Total: 2.5 (-105/-125)</u></strong></h3>
At least the main event should salvage this card. Derek Brunson draws in against Kevin Holland at 185 pounds. The 37-year-old Brunson has won three in a row and none of his seven losses are worth scoffing at. He’s lost to Jacare Souza twice, Israel Adesanya, Anderson Silva, Robert Whittaker, and then Kendall Grove, a guy that had spent five years in the UFC before the two met at ShoFight 20.

Holland’s most recent win was against Jacare. He hasn’t fought the level of competition that Brunson has throughout his career, but he’s ripped off eight of his last nine and most of them have come in impressive fashion. This fight has a lot to do with your perception of Holland. Does he deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as the guys that Brunson has previously lost against? If your answer is no, then even with the age and size differences, you have to give Brunson a fighting chance. That’s what I’m doing.
<h3><strong>Pick: Derek Brunson</strong></h3>

<p>An interesting interleague series gets underway Tuesday night when the Pittsburgh Pirates (22-19, 12-10 away) visit the Detroit Tigers (18-21, 9-9 home). Both teams have had surprisingly good starts, compared to expectations, but it was a tough past week for both. Below is my MLB pick for the Pittsburgh Pirates vs Detroit Tigers.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-pittsburgh-pirates-vs-detroit-tigers-betting-pick"><a></a><a></a>Pittsburgh Pirates vs Detroit Tigers Betting Pick</h2>



<p>The Pick: Detroit Tigers -116</p>



<p>This game will be played at Comerica Park at 6:40 p.m. on Tuesday, May 16, 2023.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-why-bet-the-detroit-tigers"><a></a>Why Bet the Detroit Tigers:</h2>



<p>✅ Detroit has been playing good ball having won eight of their last 12 games played.</p>



<p>✅ At home, the Tigers have won four of their last six in Comerica.</p>



<p>✅ Pittsburgh is in a free fall having lost 11 of their last 13 games played.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-pittsburgh-pirates-are-struggling"><a></a>Pittsburgh Pirates Are Struggling</h2>



<p>Pittsburgh started this season as one of the best teams in the league, but they have fallen back to reality over the past two weeks. The Pirates started the week by losing two of three against the Colorado Rockies and ended the week by losing two of three in Baltimore. A rough couple weeks for this young Pirates team.</p>



<p>The Pirates are still undecided on who will be starting this series on the mound.</p>



<p>Bryan Reynolds has had a nice start to the season as he leads Pittsburgh with a .293 batting average and 23 RBIs. Andrew McCutchen has hit a team leading seven home runs.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-detroit-tigers-need-a-winning-streak">The Detroit Tigers Need a Winning Streak</h2>



<p>Detroit has been hanging around the top of the weak AL Central, but the end of last week was a poor one for them. They started the week winning two of three in Cleveland, but ended it by losing two of three at home against the Seattle Mariners. Luckily, the Tigers play in the AL Central and are only four games back of first.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Michael Lorenzen is set to make his sixth start of the season and he will look to improve on his 4.18 ERA and 1.21 WHIP in 28.0 innings pitched.</p>



<p>The Tigers have been balanced at the dish as Riley Greene is batting a team high .279, Jake Rogers has hit five home runs, and Javier Baez has knocked in a team leading 18 RBIs.</p>

Presbyterian Blue Hose vs Youngstown State Penguins NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 11/22/24

<p>Arizona and Colorado continue their three-game series at Coors Field in Denver on Saturday, July 2, 2022, so we bring you the best Diamondbacks vs. Rockies betting pick and odds.&nbsp;</p>



<p>According to <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline/">BetOnline Sportsbook</a>, the Rockies are -141 home favorites with a total of 12.0 runs, while the Diamondbacks sit at +130 moneyline odds. These two NL West foes met once in May, and the D-backs beat the Rockies 2-1 in a three-game set at Chase Field in Phoenix.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>The Diamondbacks went 9-16 in June&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>The Arizona Diamondbacks carried a 34-42 record into Friday night’s opener of this set that has been excluded from the analysis. They were laying at the fourth spot in the NL West, one game above the Rockies and seven behind the third-placed San Francisco Giants.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The D-back won nine of their 25 games in June, tallying a 4.58 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, and .265 opposing batting average. Their offense has scored 105 runs while hitting a poor .206/.287/.350 across 832 at-bats.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Dallas Keuchel will get the starting call Saturday, his second with the Diamondbacks this season. The 34-year-old lefty started nine times for the White Sox in 2022 and posted a 2-5 record with a horrible 7.88 ERA and 6.19 FIP across 32 innings of work. Keuchel pitched 4.1 frames for Arizona last Sunday, allowing four earned runs on six hits and three walks in a no-decision against the Detroit Tigers.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>The Rockies shoot for their second straight series W&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>The Colorado Rockies finished June with an 8-4 home loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. They blew a chance to sweep a three-game set, tallying their sixth defeat in nine games and falling to 33-43 on the season.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Rockies went 11-17 in June, posting a 4.75 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, and .269 batting average against. Their offense has accounted for 117 runs on a .256/.320/.402 slash line while slugging 26 home runs and 57 extra-base hits across 980 at-bats.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Austin Gomber will get the nod Saturday, and the 28-year-old left-hander is 3-7 with a terrible 6.55 ERA and 1.48 WHIP in 12 starts and a couple of relief appearances (67.1 innings) in 2022. Gomber went 1-2 in June, allowing a whopping 20 earned runs across 20 innings of work.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Trends</strong><strong>:</strong></p>



<p><strong>Arizona:&nbsp;</strong></p>



<ul><li>2-6 in the last eight games overall&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>Colorado:</strong></p>



<ul><li>5-1 in the last six games at home&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Colorado Rockies Pick&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>The starting duo cannot be trusted, and I’m expecting the Rockies’ offense to make the difference. Colorado has the second-highest OPS in the majors in the last couple of weeks (.820), while the Diamondbacks have the second-lowest OPS in that span (.614).&nbsp;</p>



<p>Furthermore, the Rockies are way more dangerous when hitting the lefties and hold a 127 OPS+ against the left-handed pitchers in 2022. Colorado is slashing .282/.348/.456 at Coors Field this season.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Colorado Rockies at -141&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p><strong>The Total:</strong></p>



<p>In the last ten days of action, the Diamondbacks’ bullpen has registered a 4.18 ERA and 3.88 FIP, while the Rockies’ bullpen has recorded a 4.97 ERA and 5.03 FIP. Hereof, I would be surprised if we don’t get a proper high-scoring affair.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Dallas Keuchel will have a mountain to climb against the Rockies’ lineup. Colorado has a .849 OPS in 54 at-bats against him. On the other side, the current D-backs have a .817 OPS in 21 at-bats versus Austin Gomber. Arizona owns a 99 OPS+ against the left-handed starting pitchers in 2022.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go over 12.0 runs at -105&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>

Texas Longhorns vs Texas Tech Red Raiders Betting Pick & Prediction 2/27/24

Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good. That was the case last night, as Kansas somehow covered +9 against Baylor. A banked three at the buzzer was jubilation for KU backers and devastation for Bears bettors. Such is life betting college basketball. We all have those meaningless threes, ridiculous fouls, and other bad beat stories on both sides. They never seem to even out, but those on Kansas last night got one back.

With that we head into a busy Tuesday night card. Like I said yesterday, sometimes you have no choice but to look at a big game. That big game tonight is Alabama vs. LSU down in Baton Rouge. LSU is -1 at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bovada"><strong>Bovada Sportsbook</strong></a> with a total of 163. It’s a big ol’ total, but these two teams went over that number last season and both are playing at quickened paces this year.

This is a really fascinating game in a lot of ways, aside from just being one that looks like it could have an NBA score. There are also some side angles in play as well.
<h3><strong><u>Alabama</u></strong><strong><u> Crimson Tide</u></strong></h3>
The Tide have rolled to an 11-3 straight up mark and are 8-6 against the spread, depending on the number you got in some of their games that fell around the number. Since an unexpected loss to Western Kentucky, Alabama has ripped off seven straight wins and a 6-0 start in SEC play. They’ve only failed to cover once in that span and that was against Auburn on January 9.

Alabama does have some injury worries heading into this one, as Jordan Bruner, the tallest player on the roster at 6-foot-10, missed the game against Arkansas over the weekend with a knee injury. He is officially questionable tonight. Bruner had 20 in the win over Auburn, but only hit double digits once otherwise this season. However, LSU is a poor defensive rebounding team, so this would be a good spot to have the big man.

Alabama checks a lot of boxes both offensively and defensively. The Tide rank 24th in adjusted offensive efficiency, due in large part to offensive rebounding and taking care of the basketball. They actually haven’t shot that well, shooting 34.1% from deep and 50.3% inside the arc. They’ve been blocked a lot in the paint as well, but this is a team that likes to push the pace and shoot from three. Their adjusted tempo ranks 12th per Bart Torvik and their 3P Rate is 22nd in the country.

Defensively, this is a stout squad for Nate Oats. The Tide are 14th in adjusted defensive efficiency. Opponents are only shooting 30.6% from 3 and 45.8% from 2. Locking down defensively has been a big part of this SEC run. Only one team, Auburn, has scored over a point per possession on Alabama in the last eight games.

<h3><strong><u>LSU Tigers</u></strong></h3>
That would appear to be a major concern for Will Wade’s team. LSU is one of three teams in Bart Torvik’s top 49 that ranks outside the top 100 in adjusted defensive efficiency. Iowa and UCLA are the others. LSU wins with offense. They are fifth in the nation in adjusted offensive efficiency and 20th in eFG%. The Tigers are a great offensive rebounding team that gets to the line a lot and shoots high percentages from the field. They are at 36.7% on threes and 56.9% on twos. They’re also north of 77% at the free throw line.

Make no mistake, this is an excellent offensive bunch. And that’s how they’ve been able to win games. LSU has scored at least 1.072 points per possession in all 12 games this season. In their two losses, they were simply outscored, allowing 1.282 PPP to Saint Louis and 1.179 to Florida.

Recently, Wade’s team has done a bit better of a job defensively, holding Ole Miss to .872 PPP and Arkansas to .922 PPP in blowout wins. However, LSU is still 111th in adjusted defensive efficiency on the year. They give up too many offensive rebounds and opponents are shooting 52% inside the arc.

What has saved LSU’s defense is that opponents haven’t made enough threes. LSU’s 3P Rate against ranks 336th in the nation, as opponents are firing away 46% of the time from beyond the arc. Those opponents are only shooting 27.6% on those attempts. SIU Edwardsville opened the season going 13-of-27 from 3 against the Tigers and Saint Louis followed that up by shooting 10-of-24. Since then, LSU has allowed more than eight threes in a game just once.
<h3><strong><u>Pick &amp; Analysis</u></strong></h3>
SEC opponents are only shooting 27.4% from 3 against LSU. Opponents shot 35.8% last season. Maybe Wade committed to defending the perimeter, but it still feels like regression is coming in this one.

It makes sense to trust Alabama to get more stops. LSU will get their points, but Alabama is a better defensive team and a pretty strong offensive team as well, despite the average shooting numbers. They’ve shot 39.4% from three in SEC play thus far, so they’ve turned it around in that regard.

It’s Alabama for me. The +1 is fine. A plus money ML is better. They should win this game.
<h4><strong>Pick: Alabama +1</strong></h4>

<p>The UFC is going to leave the United States for the weekend as it’s time for UFC Fight night from Kingdom Arena in Saudi Arabia. This will be the first time that the UFC will be in that part of the world, but there is a terrific card set up.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The main event will feature a great middleweight battle between championship contenders, and the <a href="https://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">betting odds</a> are tight as well. Here is a look at the best fights of the night, and some of the bets that should be made. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Aliskerov-Whittaker Ready for Battle</h2>



<p>The main event is a fight that is a long time coming as both the fighters have been on a path to contend for a title belt. Ikram Aliskerov will face off against Robert Whittaker and the latter is a slight betting favorite in this matchup.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This fight was actually just thrown together based on some other scratches, but these fighters were always going to meet up at some point. Aliskerov comes into this fight with odds set at +131, while Whittaker is a slight favorite at -151.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Whittaker will be delivering Aliskerov the first loss of his career, as he has been a fighter that just continues to impress. This should be a great matchup of two aggressive fighters, and this one will be decided by a knockout of some sort.&nbsp;</p>



<p>There is a really good chance that this fight will end with an upset, and getting Aliskerov at +131 is an opportunity that you can’t pass up. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Heavyweights Ready for Battle</h2>



<p>The UFC has done a great job of putting together some other great fights, and that includes a huge heavyweight battle between Alexander Volkov and Sergei Pavlovich. This is another fight where the betting odds are pretty tight, and it should lead to an excellent battle in Saudi Arabia.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Pavlovich has already had a shot at winning the title in this weight class, but he was clearly not prepared for that battle. He is the favorite in this battle at -201, but he will have his work cut out for him.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Volkov comes into this fight with three straight wins, and all three of them have come via stoppage. While that is an impressive run, that’s not going to be what happens in this fight.&nbsp;</p>



<p>If you are going to bet on this fight then you want to take Pavlovich at -201 to come away with another impressive win.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Desperate Welterweights Ready to Fight</h2>



<p>Daniel Rodriguez will be looking to pull off a pretty big upset when he takes on Kelvin Gastelum in Saudi Arabia this weekend. Rodriguez currently has <a href="https://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker">odds</a> set at +220, but he is facing Gastelum (-260), and he is another fighter that has been struggling to win of late. </p>



<p>Since both of these fighters are coming into this bout on a losing streak, there will be a bit of desperation that is shown throughout the fight. This might end up being the biggest upset of the night, and going with Rodriguez at +220 is the way to go.</p>

Major League Baseball (MLB) might not be the most popular sport in the world to wager on, but it still presents a really good betting option. MLB betting comes in many different forms, and this is a season that presents plenty of betting opportunities as well.

Major League Baseball was founded all the way back in 1876, but the league has obviously gone through some major changes since that time. Most of the major rules are still in place, but the way that the game is played is now much different.

There are currently 30 teams in MLB, and every team plays 162 games during the regular season. MLB games typically start at the end of March, or early April, and the World Series wraps up during the first week of November.

MLB teams are split up into leagues and divisions, but there is now more crossover games than ever before. The American League and National League now operate under the same basic rules, and that keeps things similar regardless of what league you are looking at.

Knowing the best MLB betting sites &amp; sportsbooks is also important if you plan to bet on MLB, and this article will explore that as well. By the time you are done reading this article, you should be ready to bet on baseball.

We're not sure how much the Shula Bowl means on the local south Florida landscape anymore. By this time these programs are far removed from the Don Shula influence. Of course, that wasn't the case in the beginning.

<a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports"><strong>BetAnySports</strong> </a>customers might not be surprised to learn that the football programs for both the Florida Atlantic (FAU) Owls and the Florida International (FIU) Panthers were essentially founded by individuals with a strong connection to that period of time in which Miami experienced the most success with the Dolphins.

Don Strock, the consummate backup quarterback who served Shula and the Dolphins for many years, was the first coach at FIU.

Howard Schnellenberger, a former Shula assistant with the Dolphins who also brought Miami its first national championship, truly epitomized the role of the "founder" to a greater degree. He started the FAU program from scratch and took over every aspect of it. He also got the school into a bowl game in its fourth year in the FBS (Division I) ranks.

But these programs have evolved over the years, and others have taken control. And that includes Mario Cristobal (FIU), who is now at Oregon, and Lane Kiffin (FAU) , who has been about everywhere.

Wille Taggart is now coach at FAU, while Butch Davis is in place at FIU.

The connection with Shula is outdated enough that Drew Mehringer, who is the co-offensive coordinator for FAU under Taggart, didn't even understand where this yearly rivalry game got its moniker.

Taggart has been somewhat nomadic, coaching at Western Kentucky, South Florida, Oregon, Florida State and now Florida Atlantic since 2012, amassing a 59-63 record. FIU coach Davis has a more decorated career, as an assistant at Miami, where he won a national championship, then with the Dallas Cowboys, where he won two Super Bowls, as a head coach at Miami (which was on the brink of winning another national title), and even got the Cleveland Browns to a playoff game.

Yet Taggart and FAU have had the edge in this series, winning 13 of 17 meetings, including the last three, which they have won by a 138-45 margin.

And FAU is also the double-digit favorite in this game, according to the college football betting odds at BetAnySports. Kickoff is 7 PM ET on Friday, at Ricardo Silva Stadium on the FIU campus.

<strong>Florida Atlantic Owls -10</strong>
<strong>Florida International Panthers +10</strong>

<strong>Over 41 points -110</strong>
<strong>Under 41 points -110</strong>

The rivalry, simply from a geographic perspective, is intense on both sides. Many of the players were recruited by both schools. And we may be looking at a defensive battle - or more appropriately put, a non-offensive battle.

Javion Posey, a redshirt freshman, had to come in for injured starting quarterback Nick Tronti in the fourth quarter of a 3-3 tie with Western Kentucky last week. And while he did not light the world on fire - in fact, he didn't complete a pass - but he did score FAU's only touchdown on an 11-yard run to give Taggart a 10-6 victory over his former school.

Posey will get the starting nod on Friday. But his arm is something of a liability. And it may continue to be (the other alternative is Taggart's son, Willie Jr.).

The good news is that running back Malcolm Davidson, who has been dealing with injuries to his hamstring and foot but has averaged 7.5 yards a carry when he's been able to play, should be back in the lineup.

FIU's season has been choppy at best. They are winless, for certain, but in the season opener they took Liberty - now an undefeated and ranked team - to the limit in a 36-34 loss, then lost as a favorite at home to Middle Tennessee, and suffered a 19-10 loss to FCS entry Jacksonville State, which also gave Florida State life-and-death.

And because of COVID-related concerns that canceled games against Marshall and UTEP, they haven't played for three weeks.

FAU averages just 16 ppg, and that is a big concern when they are being asked to cover a double-digit margin on the road, but they have shown some defense, ranking 15th in the nation in yards allowed per game. Both of these teams, however, are outside the top 100 in total offense.

The Owls may well win this game by the required margin - they've surrendered just 11.5 ppg- and we don't know if we should expect anything out of the FIU quarterbacks, who have averaged 93 yards passing. Considering you might see a shower or two, perhaps the UNDER is the most judicious way to go here.
