Seattle Kraken vs Los Angeles Kings Betting Pick & Prediction 11/23/24

It would have seemed a longshot for the Portland Trail Blazers to elevate themselves to a playoff spot, but you couldn't blame some BetAnySports customers for giving them a better chance then the other Western Conference teams who were on the outside looking in at the bubble. After all, they were getting healthier. And they have a backcourt that matches just about anything else in the NBA when it comes to firepower.

But even the team's biggest boosters may not have figured how much firepower they'd really get. So as they enter the post-season as the eighth seed, much of the talk is about whether they can actually pull an upset over the #1 team in the West. And it makes things much more interesting as they get things going against the Los Angeles Lakers.

What Damian Lillard has been able to accomplish in the seeding games has been super-human. That's not an exaggeration. As this Portland team had to keep winning in order to keep playoff hopes alive, he responded with 112 points in two games, including a career-high 61-point explosion against Dallas, and you could only imagine what kind of eruption there might have been in the Moda Center.

The pressure was two-fold; not only were there the Memphis Grizzlies ahead of them, which meant that they might have to sweep a two-game play-in, but they also had a rampaging Phoenix Suns team on the charge, as they won all their games.

Ultimately, the Blazers overtook Memphis for seventh place, beat the Grizzlies in the play-in, and after going 6-2 in the bubble, are considered to be a "dangerous" squad for the Lakers to face.

Here are the NBA playoff odds posted on this series at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports"><strong>BetAnySports</strong></a>:

<strong>Los Angeles Lakers -550</strong>
<strong>Portland Trail Blazers +425</strong>

Where Lillard - and for that matter, his backcourt mate, CJ McCollum - become an even bigger problem than normal for the Lakers is that Los Angeles is missing Avery Bradley and Rajon Rondo, who are potential defensive stoppers. So they'll be competing against Laker guards who are lower on the depth chart.

The Blazers are better up front than they were before the work stoppage, and it's the possibility of balance that will bring even more of a challenge to the favorites. Jusuf Nurkic is one of the more talented centers (offensively speaking) and Zach Collins was welcomed back from injury. But Collins is going to have to sit out early in this series.

Could it be that Carmelo Anthony has a last hurrah in him? He can still score 20 on any given night, but this isn't a team that is starved for that kind of production.

What they will need is a defensive solution, especially against LeBron James, who may not be the leading scorer for the Lakers, but is still the focus of the offense. You can count on them trying different people with different looks against him. Anthony doesn't necessarily provide answers in that regard, but they'll throw somebody like Nassir Little at him as well. They'll go small on occasion with Gary Trent.

But they may also go big. Collins' absence will give Hassan Whiteside extra minutes, and let's not forget that when he is right, he is a premier rebounder (13.5 per game) and shot-blocker (2.9 per contest).

Because Lillard is simply red-hot, the Blazers have the possibility of being in every game. They may win one or two in this series, taking advantage of the Lakers' absences in the lineup.

NBA Picks & Predictions -- Blazers Look Like a More Well-Rounded Crew Now

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.

Their over/under record is 56-64, and their games have had an average line of 8 runs. When the line is set at 7.5 runs, their over/under record is 20-24. This season, 59.5% of their games have had lines set higher than 7.5 runs, and their current under streak is at three games.</p><p>Jeffrey Springs is getting the start for the Rays on the road against the Athletics. Springs has started 3 games so far this season, and his last outing was a win vs. the Diamondbacks, where he went 5 innings and struck out 7. He's given up 3 homers in 15 innings of work.</p><p>Yandy Diaz has been swinging a hot bat of late, going 11/35 in his last 10 games. However, he has not hit a home run during that stretch and is 3rd on the team with 10 homers. Brandon Lowe and Jose Siri have also struggled of late, with both players hitting below .170 in their last seven and nine games, respectively. Lowe does have two homers in his last nine games, but he has just five RBIs in that stretch.</p>

<p>Overall, the Rays offense is batting just .231 this season and is averaging only 3.9 runs per game. They are also one of the league's worst home run-hitting teams, coming into the game 25th in the league in that category. Tampa Bay's team OPS of .676 is also just 23rd in the league.</p><h3>Athletics Records & Stats</h3><p>The Athletics have dropped two straight games, and they are 54-73 overall this season, putting them 4th in the AL West. Currently, they are 14.5 games behind the Astros for the lead in the AL West. So far, they are 16-20 in divisional matchups.</p>

<p>So far, the Athletics have an overall series record of 16-21-3. They have won two straight series on the road. Over the last 10 games, the Athletics are 6-4.</p><p>Despite a losing record overall, the Athletics have been a solid bet against the run line this season, going 68-59. They have been especially good at home, where they are 35-29 against the run line. The A's have been a better bet on the run line as the underdog (62-50) than as the favorite (6-9).</p><p>The Oakland Athletics are home today against the Tampa Bay Rays, and the over/under line for the game is set at 7.5 runs. The combined run average for their games this season is 8.5 runs, and their over/under record is 56-69. When the over/under line is set at 7.5 runs, their record is 10-18. Overall, 74.0% of their games this season have had over/under lines set higher than 7.5 runs, and they are currently on a streak of five consecutive games going under the total.</p><p>Right-hander Osvaldo Bido gets the start for the Athletics today as he faces off against the Rays at home. Bido has made 12 appearances this season and has a record of 4-3 to go along with a 3.40 ERA. In his six starts, he has a total of three quality starts. Bido's most recent outing was a good one, as he went six innings and didn't give up a run against the Giants. He got the win in that outing. Before that, he had given up at least two homers in three straight starts. Bido's ERA at home is 3.86 compared to 4.3 on the road.</p><p>As a team, the Athletics are 25th in the league in runs scored, averaging 4 runs per game. This is a bit surprising, as they are 8th in the league in home runs and have the league's 10th ranked scoring offense. One area where they have struggled is in terms of batting average, as they are just 20th in the league in that category. However, they do have a couple of hitters with strong batting averages, as Brent Rooker is batting .286 and Shea Langeliers is at .227 for the season.</p>

<p>Brent Rooker has been the team's top power threat this season, as he is 8th in the league with 29 home runs and is also 10th in the league with 84 RBIs. Over his last six games, JJ Bleday has gone 5/23 with 3 homers, but he is batting just .217 in this stretch. Seth Brown has gone 6/14 in this stretch but has yet to go deep.</p>

<p>The Eastern Conference Finals get underway Thursday night when the Florida Panthers visit the Carolina Hurricanes. Florida, the last team in the playoffs, will look to continue their magical playoff run with an upset over this dominant Carolina team. Below is my NHL pick for the Florida Panthers vs Carolina Hurricanes.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-florida-panthers-vs-carolina-hurricanes-betting-pick"><a></a><a></a>Florida Panthers vs Carolina Hurricanes Betting Pick</h2>



<p>The Pick: Carolina Hurricanes -137</p>



<p>This game will be played at PNC Arena at 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, May 18, 2023.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-why-bet-the-carolina-hurricanes"><a></a>Why Bet the Carolina Hurricanes:</h2>



<p>✅ Carolina has been good these playoffs having won five of their last six games played.</p>



<p>✅ At home, the Hurricanes have won eight of their last nine games.</p>



<p>✅ Florida has lost nine of their last 13 games at PNC Arena.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-florida-panthers-on-a-magical-run"><a></a>Florida Panthers on A Magical Run</h2>



<p>Florida did not clinch a playoff berth until the final few days of the regular season, but they have taken full advantage of their opportunity. The Panthers started their playoff run by winning in seven games over the Boston Bruins, who had the best regular season in NHL history. Florida next had to play the Toronto Maple Leafs, who just broke their first-round curse, and the Panthers took care of business in five games. It was a dominant showing in the second round by the Panthers and they will need to keep that momentum going against this tough Hurricanes team.</p>



<p>Matthew Tkachuk is having a fantastic postseason as he leads the Panthers with 16 points, 11 assists, and a plus/minus of +10. Brandon Montour has hit a purple patch this postseason as the defenseman leads Florida with six goals in 12 games. Montour scored just 16 goals in 80 regular season games.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-carolina-panthers-are-favorites">The Carolina Panthers Are Favorites</h2>



<p>Carolina was one of the best defensive teams during the regular season and that has continued into the playoffs. The Hurricanes opened their playoffs by swiping aside the New York Islanders in six close games. Carolina then played the pesky New Jersey Devils and barely had to break a sweat. The Hurricanes eliminated the Devils in five games with four of those games, three ‘Canes wins and one Jersey win, being blowouts.</p>



<p>Sebastian Aho is leading the way for Carolina with a team high of 10 points and five goals in 11 games. Jordan Martinook leads the way with seven assists and Jacob Slavin is +14.</p>
