Cal State Fullerton Titans vs Pacific Tigers NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 11/30/24

<p>The NHL schedule is not going to be busy on Wednesday, March 23, with four games to be played including a Western Conference clash, so don’t miss out on the best Blackhawks vs. Ducks betting pick and odds.</p>



<p>These conference foes have met on two occasions this season, both time in Chicago and each time the Blackhawks were better. They will be looking for a season sweep here.</p>



<p>The Ducks are -120 moneyline favorites with the total being set at 6 goals, according to <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker/">Bookmaker Sportsbook</a>.</p>



<h2>Chicago is on a losing run</h2>



<p>The Chicago Blackhawks are pretty much out of the playoff picture this season, and it seems that they are not even trying anymore. The Blackhawks lost each of the last three games and recorded just six wins since February 1.</p>



<p>The most recent 6-4 home loss to the Winnipeg Jets exposed the Blackhawks’ defense that allowed four goals in the second period. Chicago did manage to cut the deficit to just one goal, but Blake Wheeler scored an empty-net goal for the visitors and closed this encounter.</p>



<p>Kevin Lankinen will start at the goal against the Ducks on Wednesday. The 27-year-old goaltender has a 3-8-4-0 record this season with a 3.51 GAA and a .889 save percentage without shutouts. The Blackhawks are allowing 3.44 goals per game (25th in the NHL) and are scoring 2.60 on the other end (26th) on a 9.1 shooting percentage (23rd).</p>



<h2>Anaheim is struggling at the moment</h2>



<p>The Anaheim Ducks are even in a worse form than the Blackhawks; they are going through their weakest period of the campaign with seven consecutive losses. Actually, a blowout 8-3 road loss to Chicago was a catalyst for this poor streak, and the Ducks didn’t score more than three goals during this stretch.</p>



<p>The latest 6-3 defeat to the Nashville Predators at home was surprising, considering the result was 2-2 after the opening two periods. Nashville destroyed Anaheim in the last 20 minutes, while the Ducks’ goalie John Gibson allowed six goals on just 31 attempts. Derek Grant, Kevin Shattenkirk, and Trevor Zegras each recorded two points for the Ducks in this loss.</p>



<p>John Gibson will get a chance to make amends as he will start at the goal again, this time around against the Blackhawks on Wednesday. The 29-year old goaltender has a 17-20-5-4 record this season with a 3.09 GAA and a .905 save percentage with one shutout. The Ducks allow 3.15 goals per game (21st in the NHL) and score 2.80 a night (22nd) on a 9.4 shooting percentage (18th).</p>



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



<p><strong>Chicago:</strong></p>



<ul><li>1-4 in the last five games overall</li><li>4-12 in the last 16 games against an opponent in the Western Conference</li></ul>



<p><strong>Anaheim:</strong></p>



<ul><li>13-5 in the last 18 games as a favorite</li><li>9-4 in the last 13 games as a home favorite</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-chicago-blackhawks-vs-anaheim-ducks-pick">Chicago Blackhawks vs. Anaheim Ducks Pick</h2>



<p>This one is going to be hard to predict because both teams are struggling. However, the Ducks will be more motivated as they still have chances of getting to the playoffs, which cannot be said for the Blackhawks.</p>



<p>Also, the Ducks will be looking to avoid the season sweep against the team that is not even close to the playoff picture. Anaheim owns Chicago one for the aforementioned 8-3 loss; it was the Ducks’ biggest defeat of the season.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Take the Anaheim Ducks at -120</p>



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



<p>Gibson will be desperate to show a way better performance following his recent loss against Nashville. I expect Anaheim’s goalie to play better in this one, but Chicago’s goaltender Lankinen is not very reliable this season. That said, I believe he will be under heavy fire from the Ducks and will let multiple goals, four or more. Marc-Andre Fleury was at the goal for the Blackhawks in the latest H2H duel and conceded three, so I expect Lankinen to have problems here.</p>



<p>The total has gone Over in five of Anaheim's last seven games against Chicago, while the total went Over in eight of the Ducks’ previous 11 games against an opponent in the Western Conference. On the other side, Over is 7-2 in the Blackhawks’ last nine overall, while Over is 6-2 in Chicago’s previous eight games as an underdog.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Over 6 goals at +100</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.

Leading up to the game, they were the heavy favorite at +145 on the money line. It was a big three-run 1st inning that really turned things in their favor, and the Athletics could only score three runs, all of which came in the 5th.</p>

<p>Sean Burke put together a good start for the White Sox, going five innings and giving up just two earned runs, and picking up the win. Chicago's offense was carried by Bryan Ramos, who went 2/3 with a homer and three RBIs.</p><p>With a record of 35-115, the White Sox are 5th in the AL Central and trail the Guardians by 51 games for the division lead.

They are 29-43 vs. the run line on the road, where their scoring margin is -2.3 runs per game.</p><p>The Chicago White Sox are on the road against the Los Angeles Angels today, with the over/under line set at 8 runs.

This season, 50.7% of their games have had over/under lines set at 8 or higher.</p><p>Right-hander Jonathan Cannon gets the start for the White Sox today as he faces the Angels on the road. Cannon has made 18 starts this year and has a record of 3-10 with an ERA of 4.56. So far, he has turned in six quality starts and is averaging 6.24 strikeouts per nine innings.

Los Angeles's offense scored three runs in the 2nd inning but didn't score again until the 8th.</p>

<p>With the Angels as the +169 underdog at home, it's not surprising that they lost this game. However, they did have a lead early, as the Astros scored four runs in the 4th to take the lead. Houston's bullpen closed things out, and the Angels couldn't complete the comeback. Caden Dana took the loss out of the bullpen, and the Angels also wasted a big game from Taylor Ward, who homered in the 2nd.</p><p>With an overall record of 60-89, the Angels are 5th in the AL West and trail the Astros by 21 games. Los Angeles lost the final two games of their series vs. the Astros and are on a five-game losing streak. Overall, they are 20-25 in AL West games this season.</p>

Their over/under record is 71-72, and they have played in 108 games with over/under lines set higher than 8 runs, which is 72.5% of their games. When the line is set at 8 runs, they have gone over 16 times, under 8 times, and pushed twice.</p><p>Angels starter Reid Detmers will be looking to build off his last outing, where he picked up the win vs. the Twins.

Oakland Golden Grizzlies vs Arkansas Razorbacks NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 12/30/24

<p>Road America has not held a top stock car event since 1956, but that will change on Sunday July 4 as the NASCAR Cup Series heads to Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin for the Jockey Made in America 250.</p>



<p>It seems only fitting that an Independence Day race would be held at a place called Road America. It is almost as if NASCAR officials planned it that way! It will be the fourth of seven road course races for the realigned and re-imagined NASCAR Cup Series schedule, so we’ll see how the drivers take to the new course.</p>



<p>We’ll use odds from <strong><a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline">BetOnline Sportsbook</a></strong> to pick the best bets for this weekend’s festivities and you can sign up at BOL and get a <strong><a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/betonline/">50% Deposit Match Bonus up to $1000</a></strong>.</p>



<h2 id="h-betting-odds-the-field"><strong><u>Betting Odds &amp; The Field</u></strong></h2>



<p>The betting odds show Chase Elliott as the favorite this week at +250. Elliott is probably the most accomplished road course racer and he’s had success this season with a stage win and the most laps led at Daytona, a win in the rain at the Circuit of the Americas, and a second-place finish at Sonoma.</p>



<p>Kyle Larson seems comfortable winning anywhere and he did take the checkered flag in that Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma. Martin Truex Jr. has had great success at Sonoma and he is the third choice at +650, just behind the +300 for Larson.</p>



<p>A lot of drivers are at some big prices this week and those are the ones that we’ll be talking about soon enough.</p>



<h2 id="h-a-preview-of-road-america"><strong><u>A Preview of Road America</u></strong></h2>



<p>Some of America’s most iconic roads weave and wind along the landscape and it makes sense that Road America is a windy road of its own. The 4.048-mile asphalt track features 14 turns. There are some long straightaways and some long stretches that feel like straightaways, but the areas between Turn 5 and Turn 14 are going to be the most interesting to watch and follow as the race goes along.</p>



<p>This is a new track for the Cup Series veterans, who have never really raced here. This track has been part of the Xfinity Series circuit since 2010, but this race never featured the Cup Series. They were off somewhere else. This will be a weekend doubleheader with the Xfinity Series and you’ll want to see who does well in that race on Saturday in case it translates over to Sunday.</p>



<h2 id="h-road-course-ringers"><strong><u>Road Course Ringers</u></strong></h2>



<p>There will be some ringers that enter the Xfinity Series race, but the Cup Series doesn’t really allow for much of that. As mentioned under the betting odds heading, Chase Elliott, Kyle Larson, and Martin Truex Jr. are accomplished road racers. Guys like Joey Logano, who actually has three top-five finishes in the road course races, are also pretty interesting.</p>



<p>The reality of this race and this course is that the Xfinity Series guys have had a chance to run here, so guys like Christopher Bell, Austin Cindric, Tyler Reddick, William Byron, and others have all had some track time here.</p>



<p>That could wind up being really important if the Cup Series guys get a bit uncomfortable with the track and the conditions.</p>



<p>On the other hand, guys like AJ Allmendinger and Michael McDowell are past winners here at the Xfinity Series level. Others like Kurt and Kyle Busch are just savvy veterans that shouldn’t have a problem figuring out the lay of the land. It is still a car race after all.</p>



<h2 id="h-nascar-picks-best-bets"><strong><u>NASCAR Picks &amp; Best Bets</u></strong></h2>



<p>There isn’t a whole lot to say or preview about this event because we don’t have any track history data and road courses are all unique and present various challenges for the drivers. All we know are the guys that run well at them.</p>



<p>Joey Logano’s done really well, so as far as short prices go, he’d be the one to take a look at with his +1000 number.</p>



<p>Otherwise, look for big prices, like Christopher Bell at +3300, Austin Cindric at +2500, and Kurt Busch at +3300. Those are all guys that have a much better chance here than they would at other tracks and we have some big payout potential on those guys.</p>

<strong><u>Baltimore</u></strong><strong><u> Orioles</u></strong>

Finding spots to back Baltimore won’t be easy. It won’t be fun. The Orioles are locked in a division with two teams that could very well win 100 games and a Rays team that should be a fixture in the Wild Card race. The Blue Jays are a more comparable foe, but Toronto went 14-5 against Baltimore last season.

Everybody knows how bad the Orioles are. When they play good teams, they’ll be a significant underdog. When they don’t, they’ll still likely be an underdog.

Here’s a good prop bet for you: Will the Orioles be a favorite of -150 or higher at any point this season?

It happened three times last year. Kevin Gausman was -151 against the Tigers on April 29. Dylan Bundy was -155 against the Royals on May 8 and Gausman was a -153 favorite against the Marlins on June 15. The Orioles were 1-2 in those games. They won’t play Miami again and Gausman is gone to Atlanta.

&nbsp;

<strong><u>Money Line Spots</u></strong>

Situationally, the Orioles might sneak up on some teams. For example, if the Yankees or Red Sox come off of facing each other or the Rays. Other visiting teams may swing through Washington D.C. for interleague or head down the east coast from Boston or the Bronx. A lot of teams will take games for granted against the Orioles.

Baltimore was 21-33 against left-handed starters last season, which wasn’t great, by any means, but also not terrible. They were 26-82 against right-handed starters. The Tigers, Royals, and White Sox lost 74, 74, and 75 games, respectively, but keep in mind that they also face the Indians’ elite rotation of righties.

&nbsp;

<strong><u>Totals Spots</u></strong>

The problem for Baltimore is that the team had a putrid offense last season and that was with guys like Manny Machado and Adam Jones. Jones isn’t much of a hitter at this stage, but at least he’s better than what the Orioles will be throwing out there this season. Even with one of the league’s worst starting rotations, the Orioles should be an under team. They slanted that way last season at 83-73-6 to the under. I would expect a bigger split to the under this year.

The Orioles have (finally) embraced analytics. Typically, it is quicker to make gains on the pitching side than the hitting side with analytics. I would expect their pitchers to show strides faster than the lineup.

&nbsp;

<strong><u>Individual Players to Watch</u></strong>

<strong>Alex Cobb – </strong>Cobb is one guy I discussed at length in my season preview. In the first half, he allowed a .310/.358/.541 slash and a .378 wOBA. In the second half, he allowed a .229/.288/.377 slash with a .287 wOBA against. Cobb is mostly a one-pitch pony with a splitter that he needs to throw a ton in order to be effective. The average exit velocity against on Cobb’s splitter went from 86.1 mph in the first half to 83.4 mph in the second half. His overall exit velocity against dropped from 89.3 mph to 86.5 mph from first half to second half.

He’s accustomed to embracing data after a long stint with the Rays to open his career. He’s the only starter I’d confidently consider in this rotation.

<strong>Dylan Bundy – </strong>Let’s talk about Bundy for a second. Bundy did make some smart decisions with his arsenal, as he threw his slider more and his changeup and curveball less last season. The problem is that Bundy, a perennial injury risk, needs to be one of those 30+% slider guys to be really effective. If that’s a change that we see happening, I’ll bump his stock. If not, his arsenal is rather pedestrian otherwise, especially with a velocity drop last season.

<strong>Mychal Givens – </strong>The anchor of the Orioles pen is a little scary. Givens posted a 3.99 ERA with a 64.5 percent LOB%, which is a positive sign. On the other hand, his strikeout rate fell, his walk rate went up, and his 5.0 percent HR/FB% is likely in line for some regression. This is not a good bullpen. Givens is the best of the bunch, but full-game betting with Baltimore will be scary because this bullpen will struggle to hold the rare leads it will be trusted to protect.

Baltimore Orioles 2019 MLB Season Betting Tips

<p>It’s the first matchup of the 105-win teams in MLB History. Also, the Dodgers meet the Giants for the first time in the postseason after playing 2,535 regular-season games against each other. These two NL West foes open their 2021 NLDS on Friday, October 8, so here’s the best Dodgers vs. Giants betting pick.</p>



<p>According to <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betdsi/">BetDSI Sportsbook</a>, the reigning champs are -155 favorites to win the series, while the Giants sit at +135 odds. The Dodgers opened at -116 for Game 1 at Oracle Park in San Francisco, and the totals are set at 7.0 runs.&nbsp;</p>



<h2><strong>The Blue Crew barely survived the wild-card clash&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<p>The Los Angeles Dodgers won 106 games in 2021 and finished one game behind the mighty Giants. They had to face off against the St. Louis Cardinals in the wild-card game this past Wednesday, and the reigning champs barely survived, escaping with a 3-1 victory as -230 home favorites thanks to Chris Taylor’s walk-off two-run homer.</p>



<p>The Dodgers have been terrific down the stretch, winning nine of their last ten games of the regular season. They’ve scored 63 runs in the process while posting the best OPS in baseball (.916). The Dodgers have smacked a whopping 26 home runs in that ten-game stretch, and Corey Seager and Trea Turner led the way with six dingers apiece.</p>



<p>LA boasted the lowest ERA in the majors this past regular season (3.46). Walker Buehler went 16-4 with a 2.47 ERA and 0.97 WHIP in 33 starts, and he’ll take the hill Friday in San Francisco. The 27-year-old righty is 3-1 with a shiny 2.16 ERA in six starts (37 innings) against the Giants in 2021.</p>



<p>Buehler has dominated his opponents for most of the regular season, but he’s had a rough patch in September, posting a 4.83 ERA and 3.42 FIP over his previous six appearances and 31.2 frames of work. Back on September 5, Buehler got pounded for six earned runs across three innings at Oracle Park in San Francisco.</p>



<h2><strong>The Giants outlasted the Dodgers 10-9 in their regular-season series</strong></h2>



<p>The San Francisco Giants won 107 games in 2021, including ten of their 19 encounters with the LA Dodgers. They’ve been ridiculously good all season long, tallying the second-lowest ERA in the majors (3.67) along with the fourth-best OPS (.769).</p>



<p>The Giants have won eight of their last ten contests, scoring 54 runs on a .251/.332/.408 batting line. On the pitching side of things, they’ve registered a shiny 2.36 ERA to go with a 1.16 WHIP and a .249 batting average against.</p>



<p>Logan Webb will toe the slab Friday, and he was 1-0 with a 2.25 ERA in three starts against the Dodgers in 2021. Across 16 frames of work against the reigning champs, the 24-year-old righty has yielded only five runs (four earned) on seven hits and four walks while punching out 17.</p>



<p>Webb went 11-3 with a 3.03 ERA and 1.11 WHIP in 26 starts and one relief appearance this past regular season. He’s recorded a 3.98 ERA and 1.91 FIP over his previous seven starts (43 innings).</p>



<h2><strong>Trends:</strong></h2>



<p><strong>LA Dodgers:</strong></p>



<ul><li>8-0 in the last eight games overall&nbsp;</li><li>6-2 in the last eight games on the road&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>San Francisco:</strong></p>



<ul><li>5-12 in the last 17 home games against the Dodgers&nbsp;</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-los-angeles-dodgers-vs-san-francisco-giants-pick"><strong>Los Angeles Dodgers vs. San Francisco Giants Pick</strong></h2>



<p>The Giants have won six of their last eight matchups with the Dodgers. They destroyed Walker Buehler in September, but the current Giants still have a poor .186/.322/.250 triple-slash in 179 at-bats against him. Buehler certainly has more experience than Logan Webb, who’ll have a debut in the postseason, and Walker is 3-1 with a 2.35 ERA and 2.66 FIP in 11 playoff starts (61.1 innings).</p>



<p>I’m going with the Dodgers, but this game could easily go either way. Both teams can lean on their relievers and play top-notch defense, so staying away from the side bet might be the best move.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Los Angeles Dodgers at -116&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



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



<p>The under is 5-2-1 in the last eight meetings between the Dodgers and Giants, and five of those eight contests saw seven or fewer runs on the scoreboard. I’ll ride this betting trend in the opening clash of the series, hoping to see a strong pitching performance from both teams. Also, the Dodgers led the majors in defensive efficiency last regular season, while the Giants were sixth.</p>



<p>In the final two weeks of action, the Giants bullpen went off for a 2.25 ERA and 3.40 FIP, and the Dodgers ‘pen posted a 3.23 ERA and 3.77 FIP.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go under 7.0 runs at -118&nbsp;</strong></p>
