<p>With the fourth and final major in the rearview, the PGA Tour returns to the state of Minnesota for the 2023 3M Open at TPC Twin Cities in Blaine, Minnesota, just outside of Minneapolis.</p>



<p>This year marks year five of the tournament on the PGA, which took over for the 3M Championship, formerly a PGA Tour Champions event. Tournament play begins on Thursday, July 27th, and concludes on Sunday, July 30th.</p>



<p>Tony Finau returns to TPC Twin Cities to defend his 2022 title. Finau’s win last season was the first of back-to-back victories for the 33-year-old in consecutive weeks. The six-time PGA Tour winner defeated Emiliano Grillo and Sungjae Im by three shots, tallying a score of 267 (17-under par).</p>



<p>This year, the 3M Open is the second-to-last event on the PGA Tour schedule before the FedEx Cup Playoffs, and for the first time, only 70 players will advance to this year’s Playoffs. Players who do not finish inside the top 70 will compete in the Tour’s FedEx Cup Fall for their TOUR cards the following year.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Scoring Plentiful at TPC Twin Cities</h2>



<p>The course opened in 2000 with the original layout done by Arnold Palmer’s design team. TPC Twin Cities is a par-71 and can stretch to over 7,400 yards in length from the back tees.</p>



<p>The course went through a renovation in 2018, with narrowed fairways and added bunkers installed throughout the property. Course features include 27 bodies of water, mature trees, and Bentgrass tees, fairways, and greens.</p>



<p>Scoring is there for players, with the average winning score to par over the previous four tournaments at 18-under.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3M Open will Provide Plenty of Drama</h2>



<p>With only two tournaments remaining until the FedEx Cup postseason, there will be a lot on the line this week for players sitting in between 65th and 80th in the current standings.</p>



<p>The biggest name on the list is two-time major winner and 2017 FedEx Cup champion Justin Thomas, who comes to Minnesota sitting at 75th.</p>



<p>Players sitting around 70th in the standings that are in the field this week include K.H. Lee (70th), Sam Ryder (69th), Ben Griffin (68th) as well as David Lingmerth (71st), David Thompson (72nd), Lee Hodges (74th), Justin Suh (76th), and Cam Davis (77th).</p>



<p>A finish on the first page of the leaderboard for any of these players would vault them up the standings and into a comfortable position heading into next week’s season-finale event at the Wyndham Championship. A missed cut or bad finish on the weekend could put a lot of pressure on the individual heading into the final tournament.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-3m-open-betting-favorites">3M Open Betting Favorites</h2>



<p>Cameron Young, priced at +1400 over at <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/betonline/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BetOnline</a>, headlines the list of pre-tournament betting favorites heading into Thursday’s first-round action. Young makes the trip back from the Open after playing in Sunday’s final round, settling for a T8 finish.</p>



<p>Last year’s champion, Finau, and runner-up, Im, are right behind Young at +1600. Finau missed the cut at the Open, while Im settled for a respectable T20.</p>



<p>International players Hideki Matsuyama and Ludvig Aberg (+1800) round out the top five favorites. Matsuyama wrapped up a solid week in Hoylake with a T13 finish. Aberg, a PGA Tour rookie, has taken the Tour by storm since wrapping up his collegiate career at Texas Tech, finishing inside the top 25 in three of his first five events since turning pro.</p>

Florida Panthers vs. Dallas Stars Game Pick 3/12/20

It has been an interesting time for all of the NBA teams while they are in the "bubble," but perhaps no team has had a more bizarre time of it than the Orlando Magic - if for no other reason than from a geographical standpoint. That's because they are so close to home, yet so far. The NBA has designated a neutral location at which friends and family members can leave items for players, and maybe that affords some kind of edge for the Magic. On the floor, this is a team that came into the seeding games with the primary objective of securing the seventh-place spot in the Eastern Conference, which enables them to avoid having to endure the two-game "play-in" series, in which, as BetAnySports patrons know, anything can happen.

They accomplished some of that objective in their opener, as they defeated the Brooklyn Nets 128-118 and overtook them for the #7 slot. But their work is hardly done. After a 132-116 win over Sacramento, they fell 120-109 to Indiana on Tuesday, breaking a five-game win streak, and they have fallen back behind the Nets, currently sitting in eighth position with a 32-36 record (33-33-2 ATS).

On top of that, there is no turnaround, as they have to play again on Wednesday night against the defending champion Toronto Raptors.

It's going to take a lot to bring Orlando around to where it could be a legitimate contender in the East. Steve Clifford has helped them take the first steps. He is a coach who stresses fundamentals, less mistakes, defense, and has had a certain degree of success in the past with Charlotte.

He's got a squad populated by young talent, but they have done a pretty good job of avoiding mistakes. The Magic have committed the second-fewest turnovers in the league. And they have committed the fewest fouls.

This is a team that is anonymous to most, because they don't get much of the national spotlight. But it's a nice little ensemble. Aaron Gordon has a chance to become their best all-around player. That's because he can get the job done on defense, and can do a little bit of everything on the offensive end, recording 15.4 points and 6.8 assists per game after the All-Star break.

In Wednesday's game against the Raptors, the Magic are a 6.5-point underdog, with a total of 223.5 points as posted at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports"><strong>BetAnySports</strong></a>. Game time is 8:05 PM ET at the Visa Athletic Center, and remember that not only is reduced juice available, but also Sports Betting Prime, which allows for real-time wagering while the action is in progress.

It remains to be seen whether Markelle Fultz is ever going to be the kind of star some thought he might be when he went first in the NBA Draft. he has great athletic ability, and can attack the basket, but he has a limited outside shot. For now, veteran DJ Augustin can provide on-court leadership. No system confounds him, as he's with his eighth different NBA team. Terrence Ross has been valuable off the bench with 20-point efforts in each of his last two games.

Evan Fournier may not be with the Magic beyond this season, but he is a very dangerous marksman in the here and now, hitting 41o% from three-point range., although he has gone cold in the last two, making just four of 16 from the field. He makes for a nice forward combo with Gordon in a smaller lineup. Orlando has some big people who appear to be able to alter what opponents do in the lane. Mo Bamba is a born shot-blocker, and he has a lot of potential that hasn't necessarily been fully developed. But he has gotten very few minutes.

There WAS Jonathan Isaac, a jumping jack who needs to bulk up a little more but who's swatted away 2.4 shots per game. Isaac, as you have probably seen, caused a bit of a stir before the restart opener when he elected to stand for the national anthem, doing so on religious grounds. And then he promptly injured his knee, taking him out of any further action.

Nikola Vucevic, who is in his eighth season with the Magic, has been cruising along with 19.5 points and eleven rebounds a game. He's a fixture.

But this Orlando squad still isn't operating at full capacity. Even though the offense seems to be there, Toronto, which beat Miami 107-103 the other day on the strength of Fred VanVleet's 36 points, is the best defensive club they will have faced. The Raptors have gotten the money all season (37-28-1 against the basketball pointspread) and with the ability to operate inside, they can do that again here.

<p>Strickland is the slight betting favorite at -139, but the odds for Du Plessis aren’t too far behind at +119. This is going to be for the middleweight belt, a title that is currently owned by Strickland after he picked up a shocking, yet thrilling victory.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Silva is the betting favorite in this matchup at -157, but this is a fight that is expected to go the distance. There is some value in betting on Pennington at +137, and she will be looking to play some defense and drag this thing out as long as possible.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Since this fight will likely come down to points, you should be looking at betting on the upset in this one as Raquel Pennington is going to come up with the win at +137 (<em><a href="/s/bookmaker">at Bookmaker</a></em>). </p>
