They have also been good overall in series, coming in with a mark of 6-3-1 and having won two straight series.</p><p>When the Red Sox are on the road, they have a run line record of 12-4, which is a big reason why they have an overall run line record of 18-14.

After allowing two runs to the White Sox in the bottom of the first, the Twins responded with a run of their own. Minnesota went on to add another three runs in the 3rd inning.</p>

<p>Starting for the Twins was Bailey Ober, who picked up the win. He went six innings, giving up four earned runs on six hits.

Minnesota has been really good as the favorite this year, going 15-5, but they are just 2-8 as the underdog. The Twins have won four straight at home, and they are 4-4-2 in series this year.</p><p>Minnesota has been a .500 team against the run line this season, but they have been much better on the road, going 11-7. They have been a good bet as the underdog, going 4-6, but have struggled at home, going 4-8. Their average run margin in winning games is 3.6, while it is -3.6 in losing games.</p><p>Minnesota's over/under record for the season is 15-14, and the average over/under line in their games is 8 runs.

The<b> Atlanta Hawks</b> have the <b>New York Knicks</b> on the ropes. There is no doubt about that. And a big part of their success has been their ability to slow New York's star player to a crawl.

Can they continue to do that - enough to bang their way to the next playoff round? They are up 3-1 and hope to clinch the series on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden. Game time is 7:35 PM ET, and <b><a href="https://record.commissionkings.ag/_SwFIINNFoTmu11z-n_bVh2Nd7ZgqdRLk/1/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer nofollow noopener">BetOnline </a></b>allows you to place wagers on this game while it is in progress.

They also give customers the chance to bet on props that cover just about everything having to do with the game itself. And we're going to concentrate on one of those props that has to do with the Knicks' Julius Randle, an All-Star and NBA Most Improved Player award winner.

At home, the Knicks are favored by a point and a half, with a total of 208 points.

But of course, we're focusing in another direction.

Let's start off with this prop, for<b><u> points scored by Randle in Game 5:</u></b>

<b><a href="http://bangthebook.com/s/betonline/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-700829" src="http://bangthebook.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/betonline.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="351" /></a>

Under 23.5 Points -123</b>

First of all, a little about the Hawks. They started out 14-20, and management thought the team they had was much better than the record. So they canned coach Lloyd Pierce and hired Nate McMillan, who's been around for a while.

They went 27-11 for the rest of the regular season.

This is actually a pretty good-looking team. They've got an athletic power forward in John Collins. They have a VERY athletic guy in Clint Capela, who does what you really want a center to do in today's NBA - he blocks shots, grabs every rebound and can run the floor, like the way he did when he was with Houston.

Then there are the shooters from the wing, like Bogdan Bogdanovic and Danilo Gallinari, both of whom can be the real difference-maker when they get hot.

Of course, everyone knows about Trae Young, who is one of the league's great scorers. But the guy we want to talk about here is DeAndre Hunter, a first-round pick a couple of seasons ago who has come back from a knee injury to become a major factor.

Hunter played at Virginia, on Tony Bennett's championship team, and you know that by virtue of that, he is no stranger to a defensive culture. That's what the Hawks were thinking when they drafted him.

During this series, McMillan has tasked him with taking on Randle, at least much of the time, and the results have been outstanding, to say the least. Remember that the Knicks have been running their offense through Randle all season, so to stop him is to throw their offense out of kilter.

What Hunter's done is keep Randle from getting shots from his favorite places, often making sure he can't get as close to the basket as he likes. And he's just been a pest in general. Then throw in the contribution of Capela in the lane, and things get difficult.

As a result, Randle has not been a major force in any of the first four games.

After averaging 38 points in the three meetings between these teams, Randle has made a total of 20 field goals in four games. He has shot 27.4% from the floor. And aside from Derrick Rose, the Knicks have not had dependable alternative options. That's why they're down three games to one.

Atlanta is getting enough offense from Young and enough support from, well, the supporting cast, that they can afford to have Hunter out there concentrating a great deal on Randle. And there is no reason to believe they will get off that defensive game plan.

So it's well worth it to move with the <b>UNDER </b>in this prop (at -123).

<i>And of course, that's just one of many props on all the playoff games at <b><a href="https://record.commissionkings.ag/_SwFIINNFoTmu11z-n_bVh2Nd7ZgqdRLk/1/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer nofollow noopener">BetOnline</a></b>, which takes care of you every way possible.

Times are really changing in the sports betting industry and that is on display this weekend with the DraftKings Sports Betting National Championship. There is a big overlay in this tournament, as 261 entrants put up or won the $10,000 to participate with a $1 million prize on the line.

Contestants bought in for $10,000, which meant a $5,000 entry into the tournament and $5,000 in a cash bankroll with which to bet. All games in major sports betting markets from January 11 and January 12 were available, including the NFL Divisional Round matchups and a full slate of college basketball games. On January 13, only the two NFL playoff games are eligible.

Some additional rules in the small print included stipulations that a total of $1,000 in bets had to be entered by Saturday night and at least $2,000 had to be spent on the Sunday NFL action.

Not all of the players paid to get into the field, as DraftKings ran lots of qualifiers or satellites to get in. Play was limited to the state of New Jersey and cash buy-ins were only taken at the Resorts Atlantic City brick and mortar DraftKings Sportsbook in Jersey City.

The breakdown of the entry field, per DraftKings.com, was 155 direct buy-ins, 92 DFS qualifies and 12 people that gained entry via social media contests or promotions. The massive overlay forced some people to sign up very late in the process, but the prizes were too great to pass up.

The guaranteed prize pool features a $1,000,000 top prize. The runner-up will take home $350,000 for his or her efforts and third place will net a cool $250,000. Fourth place gets $175,000 and fifth place gets $100,000. The top 25 will get something for their time and efforts, with $15,000 going out as the minimum prize if there are no ties.

There are so many nuances to a tournament like this because parlays are available. Ten players went broke on the first day, so they didn’t even make it to Saturday and Sunday. Contestants were allowed only one entry per person and no rebuys.

There are a lot of interesting approaches. As mentioned, some went all-in with a favorite play on Friday and went bust. Others went for the more risky approach of gambling on some parlay tickets. Others are really picking and choosing their spots for big bets and others are playing a higher-volume style in hopes of grinding out a big enough profit to get to the top of the board.

We should continue to see more promotional things like this from companies like DraftKings and Fanduel, who notoriously paid out all Alabama futures holders (whoops!) well before the Crimson Tide made the College Football Playoff and lost to Clemson. The marketing value of things like this and the intrigue that it has gotten from major media outlets speaks to the changing dynamics in the world of legalized sports betting.

We’ll have to see how everything comes together with this tournament and you can follow the leaderboard to get updates on the DraftKings Sports Betting National Championship right <strong><a href="https://sportsbook.draftkings.com/sbnc/leaderboard">here</a></strong>.

Good luck to all contestants the rest of the weekend!
