Pittsburgh Panthers vs Florida State Seminoles NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 1/15/25

As much as fans of the other college football conferences hate to admit it, the Southeastern Conference (SEC) is the best of its kind. Winning the conference practically guarantees a trip to the College Football Playoffs. Just making it to the title game means you have a shot.

The only time two teams from the same conference made the playoffs was in 2017-18-- two SEC teams (Georgia and Alabama). So, for teams in either SEC division, the ultimate prize (a national title) can still be had even if you lose the SEC title game.

But first, you have to get to the title game, which means winning a division. According to the oddsmakers at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/jazzsports/">Jazzsports.ag</a>, the SEC East is a two-team race:
<h2><strong>2020 Odds To Win Sec East</strong></h2>
<ul>
 	<li>Georgia -125</li>
 	<li>Florida +100</li>
 	<li>Kentucky +800</li>
 	<li>Tennessee +1000</li>
 	<li>South Carolina +2500</li>
 	<li>Missouri       +3000</li>
 	<li>Vanderbilt +5000</li>
</ul>

It should come as no surprise that Georgia is favored to win. They have won the division for the last three years with relative ease. But it may be a little surprising that they are favored as much as they are with the offense practically having to get rebuilt.

Defensively, they are in great shape, but their offense is a huge question mark.

Florida, on the other hand, comes into the season with fewer question marks. With the surprising emergence of Kyle Trask at quarterback last year, the offense should be in good shape. They have some key positions to fill but have guys on the roster capable of stepping up.

Defensively, they had one of the better units in the country last year. While they did lose a few key players off that squad, they should still be in good shape for this season.

Kentucky has been an emerging program in recent years and should be an entertaining and competitive one this year. But it may be too soon to think they can win the division and earn a trip to the conference title game.

Tennessee will enter the season with a ton of buzz after finishing last year on a six-game winning streak. But they are in the tougher of the two divisions and will need a lot of guys to elevate their games to compete with Georgia and Florida.

As for South Carolina, Will Muschamp will be coaching for his job this year. With the roster he has coming back, there is a good chance he may lose it. Unless he strikes gold with a few new starters this season, it is hard to see South Carolina winning the division.

Missouri rolled the dice by hiring Eli Drinkwitz away from Appalachian State after he led them to a 12-win season last year. While he did a remarkable job with the Mountaineers, it is not easy to see him doing the same with Missouri this year. He’ll need a season or two to build the roster first.

Vanderbilt may be doomed from the start. Derek Mason had some real talent on last year’s squad but failed to get enough out of them. Unless he can get the team turned in the right direction, he may be out of a job come January as well.

So—who should you bet on?

Georgia has too many question marks to bet on them at those odds. Florida is the safe bet and, realistically, the best choice by far. It shouldn’t even be considered a two-team race; the SEC East is Florida’s to lose.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs New Orleans Pelicans Betting Pick & Prediction 3/13/24

<p>One of the hottest teams in baseball is a massive favorite in this National League tilt on Tuesday, September 6, so make sure you don’t miss out on the best Nationals vs. Cardinals betting pick and odds.</p>



<p>Washington and St. Louis will play the second of a four-game series at Busch Stadium, and the Cardinals are big -260 moneyline favorites on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bovada/">Bovada Sportsbook</a>, while the total is set at 8 runs. These National League foes have met three times this season before this series, and the Cards lead 2-1. Game 1 of the current series is played on Monday night, at the time of writing.</p>



<p><strong>Nationals surprised the Mets in New York</strong></p>



<p>The Washington Nationals perhaps have the worst record in the entire MLB, but that didn’t bother them in a three-game series against the New York Mets on the road. After losing the opener, the Nats secured a pair of shocking 7-1 wins against the leading team in the NL East.</p>



<p>Cesar Hernandez blasted his first home run in more than a year, while Ildemaro Vargas and Keibert Ruiz contributed with two RBIs apiece in the most recent 7-1 win. Erick Fedde improved to a 6-9 record after surrendering one run on four hits with two strikeouts and a walk across 6.0 innings. It was Fedde’s first quality start in two months.</p>



<p>Paolo Espino (0-6) is still searching for his first win of the campaign as he takes the mound for the 16th time on Tuesday against the Cardinals. The 35-year-old right-hander has a 4.22 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, and 75/19 K/BB ratio over 96.0 innings.</p>



<p><strong>Cardinals are red-hot right now</strong></p>



<p>The St. Louis Cardinals are the hottest team in the second half of the campaign. They lost only two series in this part of the season and won each of their last seven, including the latest one over the Chicago Cubs at home. It was a series sweep with just four runs allowed in three games. The Cards cemented their place at the top of the NL Central with nine wins ahead of the Milwaukee Brewers.</p>



<p>Albert Pujols was a game-winner for the Cardinals in a 2-0 victory over the Cubs. He entered in the 8th inning as a pinch-hitter and hit a two-run homer, the 695th home run of his illustrious career. Miles Mikolas pitched for eight scoreless innings to improve to an 11-10 record, while Ryan Helsley earned his 13th save of the season.</p>



<p>Jose Quintana (4-6) will get his 27th start of the year (7th in St. Louis’ uniform) when he faces the Nats on Tuesday. The 33-year-old southpaw owns a solid 3.47 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, and 109/43 K/BB ratio in 132.1 innings of work.</p>



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



<p><strong>Washington:</strong></p>



<ul><li>16-44 in the last 60 games vs. a left-handed starter</li><li>1-4 in the last five vs. National League Central opponents</li><li>5-21 in the last 26 road games vs. a left-handed starter</li></ul>



<p><strong>St. Louis:</strong></p>



<ul><li>14-3 in the last 17 home games vs. a right-handed starter</li><li>21-5 in the last 26 games with the total set at 7.0-8.5</li><li>6-2 in the last eight vs. National League East rivals</li></ul>



<p><strong>Washington Nationals vs. St. Louis Cardinals Pick&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>Paolo Espino is seeking his first victory of the season and I don’t think he will get it at Busch Stadium. He started once against the Cards this year and recorded a 7.71 ERA in 4.2 innings, and he allowed a .368 batting average to the Cardinals’ batter in his career. Considering that St. Louis is scoring 4.76 runs per game against right-handed pitchers, I am backing the hosts to get a comfortable win on Tuesday. The Cardinals are 5-0 in Quintana’s last five starts vs. a team with a losing record, while Jose has a 3.60 ERA in two starts against the Nats this season.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Take the Cardinals at -1.5 Run Line (-120)</p>



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



<p>Espino surrendered four runs in his previous start against the Cards, and I expect St. Louis to score 4+ runs off of him once again. Quintana didn’t post a shutout start since he became a Cardinal a month ago and allowed precisely two runs in each of his last five starts. Washington’s offense is on the rise and I am backing the visitors to score at least one or two runs against Quintana, which is a good reason for me to go with Over. Over is 5-1 in Quintana’s last six starts overall, while Over is 4-1 in the Nationals’ previous five games vs. a left-handed starter.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Go Over 8 runs (-110)</p>

Hampton Pirates vs Elon Phoenix Betting Pick & Prediction 3/8/24

<p>The Arizona Diamondbacks won on Friday night as a big underdog against the Los Angeles Dodgers. On Saturday night, the Diamondbacks lost by 21 runs. The two games could not have been any sharper in contrast, so that leaves us wondering what we’ll see on Sunday as the teams finish up the first half of the season.</p>



<p>We’ll see Merrill Kelly for the Diamondbacks and Tony Gonsolin for the Dodgers in a game where the line has jumped up into the -230 range at <strong><a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline">BetOnline Sportsbook</a></strong> with a total of 9.</p>



<h2 id="h-arizona-diamondbacks"><strong><u>Arizona</u></strong><strong><u> Diamondbacks</u></strong></h2>



<p>You really have to wonder about the motivation level of the Diamondbacks in this game. They have five more losses than the Baltimore Orioles and nine more than the next closest team, which is the Pirates. This is an Arizona squad that ended the month of April at 14-12. They are 12-53 since. The Dodgers are 8-1 against Arizona this season and have now outscored them by 41 runs.</p>



<p>A lot has been made of Colorado’s road woes, but the Rockies at 8-34 are not that much worse than the Diamondbacks at 11-37. Arizona has one of the league’s worst bullpens and has a record of 3-20 in one-run games. Injuries have really hurt on the offensive side and continue to do so, as Carson Kelly and Ketel Marte remain sidelined. Arizona actually had a good offense in April, but now ranks 27th in wOBA heading into this game.</p>



<p>One recent bright spot has been Merrill Kelly. The Arizona right-hander has a 4.60 ERA with a 4.00 FIP in his 103.2 innings of work. Over his last four starts, Kelly has allowed just six runs on 23 hits in 25.1 innings of work with 18 strikeouts against just two walks. He’ll be a sought-after trade piece as the Diamondbacks sell anything they can, as he has another year left on his deal and has pitched much better than his ERA suggests.</p>



<p>Kelly has been a tough-luck guy this season with a 68.2% LOB% and big splits with men on base and men in scoring position compared to his splits with the bases empty. They’ve been getting better during this recent run, but he has still allowed a .358 wOBA with men on base compared to a .290 wOBA with the bases empty. The gap used to be over 100 points.</p>



<h2 id="h-los-angeles-dodgers"><strong><u>Los Angeles</u></strong><strong><u> Dodgers</u></strong></h2>



<p>The Dodgers and their top-five offense certainly had some fun on Saturday night. It was a 9-0 game before the end of the second inning and it got uglier from there. Los Angeles ranks fifth in wOBA at .330 and has seen an uptick in the power department over the last week or two. The Dodgers have the league’s top BB% at 10.8%, so they’ve been able to create a lot of opportunities for themselves to score runs.</p>



<p>Veteran teams try to bank as many wins as they can prior to the All-Star Break and the Dodgers are certainly a veteran team. They sit just two games back of the San Francisco Giants in the NL West, but have a very firm grasp on one of the two Wild Card spots. Three of the five playoff teams in the NL will come from the West and two of them will face off in that win or go home contest to begin the postseason.</p>



<p>This will be the sixth MLB start of the season for Tony Gonsolin, who has a 2.11 ERA with a 3.40 FIP in his previous 21.1 innings pitched. He also had a relief appearance in there. Gonsolin has walked 14 of the 91 batters that he has faced, but has also struck out 25 of them. Arizona doesn’t do much well on offense, but does have the 13th-highest BB% in the league, so Gonsolin will have to throw strikes.</p>



<p>He walked five in his first start of the year back on June 9, but has also walked a batter per inning in two of his other appearances. Gonsolin maxed out last start with 19 batters faced and pitched 5.1 innings for his longest outing of the season. With off days on the horizon for the All-Star Break, the Dodgers can manage the game more aggressively if need be today.</p>



<h2 id="h-diamondbacks-vs-dodgers-free-pick"><strong><u>Diamondbacks vs. Dodgers Free Pick</u></strong></h2>



<p>A complete no-show from the Diamondbacks today is not at all out of the question. Merrill Kelly has been pitching a lot better of late, though, so he may be able to hold the Dodgers at bay. It is hard to see everybody being fully engaged in this one, especially with such a lopsided line and such a huge difference between the teams. The under is the play here.</p>
