New York Rangers vs Edmonton Oilers Betting Pick & Prediction 11/23/24

<p>After taking a weekend off, there will be some action on the PGA Tour again this weekend. While many of the biggest names are not going to be competing this weekend, there will still be some great players that are teeing it up.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This is going to be a chance for some other players to pick up a win that don’t usually win, and players want to get some momentum for bigger tournaments later on in the year. Betting odds have been set ahead of this event, and now is the perfect time to make some wagers.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Here is a look at the betting odds to win the Procore Championship, and a pick that should be made.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong><em><a href="/s/betdsi">BET ON THE PROCORE CHAMPIONSHIP AT BETDSI AND GET OUR TOP BONUS OFFER!</a></em></strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Three in the Mix</h2>



<p>When looking at the betting odds to win the Procore Championship, there are three players that appear to be clearly in the lead. Betting on the favorites is not always a great option when it comes to PGA events, but the three favorites are in that position for a reason.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Wyndham Clark and Sahith Theegala are the two clear betting favorites to win the tournament this weekend as each player is sitting at +1200 when looking at the odds. There are typically players with much better odds for PGA Tournament events, but that’s not the case in this one.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Corey Conners is next on the list at +1400 to win the Procore Championship, and he is looking to take the next step this season. He is a player that has had some success on the PGA Tour, but at some point he is going to be trying to pick up some wins.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Best of the Rest</h2>



<p>Even though there is a big gap between the top three players and the rest of the field, it would be foolish to ignore other players. There are actually some very talented players looking to tee it up this weekend, and some big names to keep in mind.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Max Homa is coming into this event at +2000, and Luke Clanton has those same odds. It’s interesting to see Clanton with those odds, but Homa is a player that is capable of winning each weekend.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Min Woo Lee and Maverick McNealy could also win this event, and they are sitting at +2200 to win this weekend. Here are some of the other names to keep an eye on:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Keith Mitchell +3000</li>



<li>J.J. Spaun +3500</li>



<li>Tome Hoge +4000</li>



<li>Brendon Todd +4000</li>



<li>Patrick Rodgers +4000</li>
</ul>



<p><em><a href="/s/betdsi">Odds courtesy of BetDSI!</a></em></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Time to Make a Pick</h2>



<p>There is going to be a great chance to cash in this weekend, as even the top betting favorites are going to come with some value. Insead of betting on the biggest names, it’s a much better idea to look a bit further down the odds.&nbsp;</p>



<p>It’s interesting to see Max Homa in a position of being an underdog this weekend, especially since he is such a good player. Now is the perfect time to strike though, and <a href="/s/betdsi">betting on him at +2000</a> to win the Procore Championship is the bet to make. </p>

Procore Championship Preview for September 2024

<p>Last week, we chose betting favorite Kyle Larson (+275) to win his way into the Round of Eight. Larson lived up to his favorite status, taking the lead from pole-sitter Christopher Bell (+1200) early and holding Bell back, narrowly landing on Victory Lane.</p>



<p>Bell was followed to the checkered flag by eliminated playoff drivers Kyle Busch (+1600, Richard Childress Racing), Brad Keselowski (+1400, RFK Racing), and Ross Chastain (+1800, Trackhouse Racing), completing the top five. Notably, the top-eleven finishers at Las Vegas were all playoff drivers in the Round of 12.</p>



<p>The Round of Eight continues as the Cup Series moves to the season's final leg, heading to Homestead-Miami, where Larson and Hendrick Motorsports are favored to win back-to-back races in the Round of Eight and a third consecutive win at Homestead-Miami.</p>



<p><strong><a href="/s/BetOnline" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Think the favorite will win the 4EVER 400? You can bet on Kyle Larson at +275 over at BetOnline!</a></strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-hendrick-motorsports-playoff-duo-atop-the-standings-and-your-betting-picks-again">Hendrick Motorsports Playoff Duo Atop the Standings (and Your Betting Picks) Again</h2>



<p>Chevrolet is favored to win at Homestead-Miami, so look no further than the Hendrick Motorsports duo atop the Cup Series Playoff standings and among the betting favorites for your pick to win on Sunday.</p>



<p>Despite winning his way into the Championship Four, Kyle Larson has to be among your betting picks for a top-five finish and race win on Sunday: Larson has one win (2022) and five top-five finishes in nine career races at Homestead-Miami.</p>



<p>Hendrick Motorsports teammate William Byron (+750) dropped to second in the Cup Series Playoff points standings but has a very successful record at Homestead-Miami. Byron has one race win (2021) and two top-ten finishes in five career races at Homestead.</p>



<p>However, Byron is having the best season of his career, having two wins and eight top-ten finishes in the last nine races, meaning he’ll be in the mix for the race win and likely to finish in the top five.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-toyotas-challengers">The Toyotas Challengers</h2>



<p>Joe Gibbs Racing’s Denny Hamlin (+700) has a successful history at Homestead-Miami and headlines Toyota's challengers. While Hamlin has five top-ten finishes in the seven Cup Series playoff races, he has three career wins, five top-five, and 12 top-ten finishes in 18 career races at Homestead-Miami.</p>



<p>Don’t believe the oddsmakers favored status for Hamlin’s teammate Martin Truex Jr. (+575), who has one win, seven top-five, and 12 top-ten finishes in 18 career races at Homestead-Miami. Truex’s recent performances don’t warrant a pick in the top ten, as his ninth-place finish at Las Vegas was his first top-ten finish since Watkins Glen.</p>



<p>23XI Racing’s Tyler Reddick (+575) has two consecutive and four top-ten finishes in the Cup Series playoffs. Reddick is sixth in the points standings and needs stage-winning points and a race win to secure a spot in the Championship Four. He should be in the mix for the win, having two top-five finishes in three career races at Homestead-Miami.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-can-ford-s-playoff-drivers-upset-the-field">Can Ford’s Playoff Drivers Upset the Field?</h2>



<p>Team Penske’s Ryan Blaney (+1800) and RFK Racing’s Chris Buescher (+1600) are Ford’s two remaining Cup Series Championship hopefuls, each without impressive histories at Homestead-Miami.</p>



<p>Blaney has one top-five finish in eight career races, while Buescher’s best finish in seven career races at Homestead-Miami was 13th in 2022.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-another-non-playoff-winner">Another Non-Playoff Winner?</h2>



<p>Kaulig Racing’s A.J. Allmendinger (+15000 at <a href="/s/BetOnline" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BetOnline</a>) is the only winner of a 2023 Cup Series playoff race not currently fighting in the Round of Eight.</p>



<p>RFK Racing’s Brad Keselowski (+1400) has been eliminated from the 2023 playoffs but has four top-five and seven top-ten finishes in 15 career trips to Homestead-Miami, with his best finish being third in 2014-15.</p>



<p>For those looking for a long shot with a real chance to win and a winning pedigree at Homestead-Miami, look no further than Stewart-Haas Racing’s Kevin Harvick (+2000), who has one win, 12 top-five, and 19 top-ten finishes in 22 career starts.</p>

Colorado State Rams vs Fresno State Bulldogs Betting Pick & Prediction 11/23/24

<p>The 2024 Winston-Salem Open, an ATP 250 outdoor hard court tournament, is coming to a conclusion this weekend with semi-final matches on Friday and the final Saturday. Sandwiched between back-to-back ATP 1000 events and the US Open, which begins on Monday, the event hasn't attracted as much talent as it has in years' past, leaving an unlikely semi-final pairing and a strong chance that someone wins their first ATP title this season.</p>



<p>Let's take a look back at the early action this week and preview Friday's semi-final matches.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Past Winston-Salem Winners</h2>



<p>2023: Sebastian Baez def. Jiri Lehecka</p>



<p>2022: Adrian Mannarino def. Laslo Djere</p>



<p>2021: Ilya Ivashka def. Mikael Ymer</p>



<p>2019: Hubert Hurkacz def. Benoit Paire</p>



<p>2018: Daniil Medvedev def. Steve Johnson</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Early Winston-Salem Recap</h2>



<p>The Winston-Salem Open was turned upside down from the start of the competition with each of the top nine seeds losing their first match. Defending champion and top seed Sebastian Baez lost in straight sets in the second round to Borna Coric, while second seed Francisco Cerundolo also lost in straight sets to American Zachary Svajda. Adrian Mannarino, Mariano Navone, Nuno Borges, and Tomas Martin Etcheverry were among the other top seeds eliminated early.</p>



<p>Only two of the top-12 seeds - Lorenzo Sonego and Alex Michelsen - are into the semi-finals. Veterans David Goffin and Pablo Carreno Busta are the other two semi-finalists. Goffin, who hasn't won on the ATP Tour in two years, beat Rinky Hijikata in the quarter-finals, while Carreno Busta beat qualifier Learner Tien. Michelsen, a 19-year-old American, beat Christopher Eubanks 7-5, 6-7 (6), 7-6 (5) in a competitive quarter-final match and Sonego beat Pavel Kotov in straight sets.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Semi-Final Matches</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">David Goffin (-145) vs. Lorenzo Sonego (+105)</h3>



<p>This is the third meeting between Sonego and Goffin. They split their previous two matches, with Sonego winning on clay earlier this season at the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters and Goffin winning on indoor hard courts at the Open Sud de France in 2021. Sonego is the higher-ranked player, won the most recent match between the two players, and has been on court almost three hours fewer than Goffin, so it's somewhat strange to see him as a considerable underdog.</p>



<p>I Like Sonego to <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/mybookie/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">win</a> this match for all of those reasons. Goffin is 18-8 on hard courts this season, whereas Sonego is just 8-10, but many of Goffin's wins have come in Challenger events against lesser opponents.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Alex Michelsen (-115) vs. Pablo Carreno Busta (-115)</h3>



<p>Michelsen is a player who is on the verge of breaking through as a legit threat on the ATP Tour. He has two Challenger titles and is ranked a career-best No. 52, whereas Carreno Busta is a clay court specialist whose best days are behind him; the 33-year-old was once a top-10 player but is now ranked No. 299. Carreno Busta is 8-6 this season, while Michelsen is 31-26, including 7-3 in his last 10 matches.</p>



<p>Michelsen is also 19-10 on hard courts. He won his first two matches in straight sets and should have tremendous confidence after his close victory over Eubanks.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Winston-Salem Final Prediction</h2>



<p>Assuming a Sonego-Michelsen final, I like the veteran Sonego to take the title. Michelsen's time is coming soon, but it seems as though he might have to wait a bit longer. Sonego is a three-time <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/mybookie/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">winner</a> on the ATP Tour.</p>



<p>Pick: Lorenzo Sonego def. Alex Michelsen</p>

Portland State Vikings vs San Diego Toreros NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 11/12/24

<p>The MLB show continues on Saturday, October 2 when we have 15 games on tap, including this divisional tilt, so make sure you read the best Athletics vs. Mariners betting pick and odds.</p>



<p>Oakland and Seattle will play the second of a three-game series at T-Mobile Park, and the Mariners are -278 moneyline favorites on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bovada/">Bovada Sportsbook</a>, while the total is set at 6.5 runs. These AL West foes have met 16 times before this series, and Seattle leads 9-7. Game 1 of this series will be played on Friday night.</p>



<p><strong>Athletics could get near Ohtani in a loss</strong></p>



<p>The Oakland Athletics lost their six games pit of the last seven and fourth in a row as they were swept by the Los Angeles Angels over a three-game series. Oakland scored just six runs in those three games and failed to score a single one against fantastic Shohei Ohtani in a 4-2 loss to the Angels. Ohtani pitched for 8.0 scoreless innings in another impressive display.</p>



<p>Seth Brown scored a lone RBI for the A’s in this loss as Oakland registered miserable three hits opposite Los Angeles’ 13. Cole Irvin dropped to a 9-13 record after surrendering three runs on nine hits with six strikeouts and a walk over 4.0 innings.</p>



<p>JP Sears (6-3) will get on the bump for the 10th time this year when he takes on the Mariners on Saturday. The 26-year-old left-hander has a 4.22 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and 30/16 K/BB ratio in 42.0 innings.</p>



<p><strong>Mariners won the series against the Rangers</strong></p>



<p>The Seattle Mariners lost the opener of a three-game series against the Texas Rangers but responded with a pair of wins, including the most recent one 10-9 in two extra innings. Seattle now needs just one more victory to clinch a wildcard spot, and given that they have two home series against Oakland and Detroit, there is no doubt the Mariners will pull it off.</p>



<p>It was an exciting divisional clash at T-Mobile Park in which we saw 25 combined hits, but Seattle prevailed in the end. Jarred Kelenic had the best game of the season as he chipped in three RBIs through two homers, while three more players had a multi-hit game. Marco Gonzales (10-15) didn’t pitch particularly well in his start as he allowed four runs on six hits with four strikeouts and a walk in 5.0 innings. Chris Flexen (8-9) was credited with a win.</p>



<p>Luis Castillo (7-6) will start for the 25th time this year (11th in Seattle’s uniform) when he meets the A’s on Saturday. The 29-year-old right-hander owns a rock-solid 3.06 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, and 159/44 K/BB ratio across 144.1 innings of work.</p>



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



<p><strong>Oakland:</strong></p>



<p>N/A</p>



<p><strong>Seattle:</strong></p>



<p>N/A</p>



<p><strong>Oakland Athletics vs. Seattle Mariners Pick</strong></p>



<p>JP Sears experienced a rough September as he registered an 8.27 ERA in five starts, but on the season, he has been terrific in two starts against Seattle, posting a 0.90 ERA over 10.0 innings in two wins. On the other hand, Castillo struggled against Oakland this year with a 7.45 ERA and two losses (two starts) in 9.2 innings. This pitching matchup is the only reason I am backing the A’s to stay close here, although I think the Mariners are the favorites and will get a win.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Take the Athletics at +1.5 Run Line (N/A)</p>



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



<p>Sears allowed just one run (unearned) in his latest starts against Seattle, but I don’t think the Mariners’ batters will be that lenient in this one. Castillo is allowing a .354 batting average to Oakland’s batters and nine RBIs in 48 at-bats, and the visitors will try to exploit this matchup on Saturday. These are not the teams that are involved in plenty of high-scoring affairs; Seattle is only 29-42 O/U this year. However, with such a low total set for this tilt, I have to go with Over.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Go Over 6.5 runs (-110)</p>

<p>A National League West showdown begins Friday night when the Los Angeles Dodgers (19-13, 7-7 away) visit the San Diego Padres (17-15, 9-9 home). These are two of the best teams in the National League and they should be going back and forth all season for the division title. Below is my MLB pick for the Los Angeles Dodgers vs San Diego Padres.</p>

<p>The Pick: Los Angeles Dodgers -132</p>



<p>This game will be played at Petco Park at 9:40 p.m. on Friday, May 5, 2023.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-why-bet-the-los-angeles-dodgers"><a></a>Why Bet the Los Angeles Dodgers:</h2>



<p>✅ Los Angeles is red hot and have won six consecutive games.</p>



<p>✅ Clayton Kershaw is back to his old ways and is dealing to start the season.</p>



<p>✅ Against Los Angeles, the Padres have lost 13 of the last 20 meetings.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-los-angeles-dodgers-finding-some-form"><a></a>Los Angeles Dodgers Finding Some Form</h2>



<p>Los Angeles welcomed the St. Louis Cardinals and Philadelphia Phillies to Dodger Stadium and earned two sweeps to get six games above .500. It was an impressive series against the Phillies that saw them dominate the first two games, winning 13-4 and 13-1, and come from behind in their 10-6 win in the series finale.</p>



<p>Clayton Kershaw is set to make his seventh start of the season and he is putting together another Kershaw like season. Through 38.0 innings pitched, the future Hall of Famer has a 1.89 ERA and 0.76 WHIP.</p>



<p>Max Muncy is mashing this season and he leads the Dodgers with 12 home runs and 27 RBIs. Freddie Freeman has a team high .310 batting average.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-san-diego-padres-getting-it-together">The San Diego Padres Getting it Together</h2>



<p>San Diego has had a weak part of the schedule come up and have taken care of business. The Padres won their two games series, in Mexico, against the San Francisco Giants and followed that up by winning two of three against the Cincinnati Reds. This run has gotten the Padres above .500 on the season.</p>



<p>Joe Musgrove is making his third start of the season and he will need to improve on his 10.80 ERA and 1.68 WHIP.</p>



<p>Xander Bogaerts is having a nice first season in San Diego as he leads the team with six home runs and a .291 batting average. Juan Soto has knocked in a team high 17 RBIs.</p>
