<p>The 2022 Stanley Cup betting action continues Friday, May 27, with Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals between Colorado and St. Louis, so we have prepared the best Avalanche vs. Blues betting pick.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>According to <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/mybookie/">MyBookie Sportsbook</a>, the Avalanche are -170 road favorites for Friday’s contest at Enterprise Center. The Blues are listed as +150 moneyline dogs, and the totals sit at 6.5 goals.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>The Avs blew a massive opportunity in Game 5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>The Colorado Avalanche are still one win away from the conference finals. After a couple of road victories in Games 3 and 4, the Avs blew a three-goal lead in Game 5 on the home ice and missed a huge chance to finish the job.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Nathan MacKinnon scored twice in the first period, while Gabriel Landeskog netted his sixth goal of the postseason to make it 3-0 after just four minutes of play in the second period. MacKinnon completed a hat trick late in the third period to give his team a 4-3 lead, but it wasn’t enough.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Darcy Kuemper didn’t have a good day in the office in Game 5. He surrendered five goals on 30 shots and dropped to 5-2 in the postseason. Kuemper has allowed 15 goals and recorded an underwhelming .891 save percentage throughout this series.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>The Blues survived Game 5 on the back of their offense&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>The St. Louis Blues desperately need more from Ville Husso if they want to somehow eliminate the Avalanche. Since Jordan Binnington’s injury in Game 3 against the Avs, Husso has yielded 13 goals on 93 shots to record a poor .860 save percentage.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The 27-year-old goalie surrendered four goals on 34 shots last Wednesday, but the Blues’ offense put on a tremendous performance down the stretch to lift the Blues over the Avalanche. Robert Thomas scored a couple of third-period goals, while Tyler Bozak hit the winner in overtime.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Blues cannot count on Jordan Binnington for Game 6. Defenseman Torey Krug is questionable to play due to a lower-body injury, and he’s been sidelined since May 6. At least, defenseman Marco Scandella returned to the action on Wednesday and spent 10:43 on the ice.&nbsp;</p>



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



<p><strong>Colorado:&nbsp;</strong></p>



<ul><li>5-0 in the last five road games against St. Louis&nbsp;</li><li>7-2 in the last nine games overall&nbsp;</li></ul>



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



<ul><li>4-15 in the last 19 games against Colorado&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li>2-5 in the last seven games at home&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>Colorado Avalanche vs. St. Louis Blues Pick&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>The Avalanche have to bounce back from a shocking loss in Game 5. They are arguably a better team than the Blues, who’ll have to deal with Jordan Binnington’s absence. Ville Husso has been awful so far this postseason, and I’m expecting to see more of the same in Game 6.&nbsp;</p>



<p>On the other side, Darcy Kuemper needs to step up and make amends for his poor showing last Wednesday. The Avs acquired Kuemper to help them win the championship, as Darcy has been one of the best goaltenders in the league over the last few years. The Blues are a top-notch offensive team, and the Avs need Kuemper at his best.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Colorado Avalanche at -170&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



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



<p>After a couple of five-goal contests at Ball Arena, the Avalanche and Blues have combined for seven or more goals in their next three encounters. St. Louis cannot count on its defense to make the difference, so I’m expecting to see another high-scoring affair.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The over is 9-2 in the last 11 meetings between the Avs and Blues, and it is 5-0 in their previous five dates at Enterprise Center. Also, five of Colorado’s last seven games and ten of St. Louis’ previous 15 have gone over the total.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go over 6.5 goals at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>It wouldn’t be another weekend without some great <a href="https://www.espn.com/mma/ufc/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">UFC</a> action, and this time that action is going to be coming from Atlantic City, New Jersey. This city has been home to some massive fights in the past, and that trend should continue with a loaded fight card this weekend. </p>



<p>There won’t be a belt handed out this weekend, but several of the fights are going to feature some top contenders in their respective weight class. That is going to lead to some incredible drama, and there will also be some great betting options available.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Here is a look at some of the top fights of the weekend, and the bets that should be made as well.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-blanchfield-fiorot">Blanchfield-Fiorot</h2>



<p>The main event on Saturday night will feature Erin Blanchfield taking on Manon Fiorot in a huge clash between flyweight contenders. The winner of this bout will likely get a shot at a championship fight, although there are other aspects that could impact that.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Blanchfield is the betting favorite in this fight at -180, and she will also have the support of a home crowd. She has made it known that she is from New Jersey, and she could lock up a title fight by winning in front of family and friends.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Fiorot has yet to lose in the Octagon, and her most recent win put her on the path to getting a shot at the title. She’s still a bit unproven at just 6-0 in her career, but she has shown that she has some great skills.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This is going to be a battle that goes the distance, but betting on Blanchfield at -180 is the best betting option here.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-welterweights-ready-to-battle">Welterweights Ready to Battle</h2>



<p>The co-main event on Saturday night will feature two welterweight fighters that don’t like to sit back and let the action come to them. Joaquin Buckley and Vicente Luque are both extremely aggressive fighters, and the odds suggest that they are almost equals as well.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Buckley is a slight underdog in this fight, event though his betting odds for this are set at -102. Luque won’t really have the pressure of being favored in this one as there’s not much of a difference in his odds at -118.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Both fighters are trying to stay on the path to fighting for a championship, and each fighter will be aggressive in this one. Luque has had a ton of time off though, and so going with Buckley at -102 is going to be the best option to explore.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-weidman-silva-ready-for-battle">Weidman/Silva Ready for Battle</h2>



<p>A couple of fan favorites are going to meet up on the main card on Saturday night as Chris Weidman will be taking on Bruno Silva. Weidman will be in his second fight since a devastating leg injury more than a year ago, and he just hasn’t regained his top form.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Silva is another fighter that is looking to bounce back in a big way as he has lost five straight matchups. He is still someone that is well-known in the sport, and the odds at -260 suggest that he is going to end his losing streak in this one.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Weidman will figure things out again at some point, but going with Silva is the right course of action in this fight.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Mifel Tennis Open (also known as Los Cabos Open) is one of three ATP Tour 250 events taking place this week, along with the Rio Open and Qatar Open. It arguably has the most stacked field and easily the best semi-final matchups. Let's take a look back at this week's action and preview this weekend's matches.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-mifel-tennis-open-recap">Mifel Tennis Open Recap</h2>



<p>Three of the top four seeds, all ranked within the top-15 in the world, are into the semi-finals of the Mifel Tennis Open after an exciting week of action. Defending champion Stefanos Tsitsipas, the second-ranked player in the draw, beat Aleksander Vukic and Aleksander Kovacevic in straight sets in his first two matches to set up a semi-final match with fourth seed Casper Ruud. Ruud has also been playing great tennis, beating Nuno Borges and Max Purcell in sraight sets after earning a first-round bye.</p>



<p><strong><a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/betdsi/">Bet with BetDSI here!</a></strong></p>



<p>Alexander Zverev, the top seed in the draw, also won his matches in straight sets, beating Yoshihito Nishioka and Thanasi Kokkinakis. He'll play another Aussie, Jordan Thompson, in the semifinals. Thompson is the only semifinalist who has had to play three matches, beating wildcard Ernesto Escobedo, Emilio Nava, and Alex Michelsen. He didn't win a game in the first set against Michelsen before responding to win 0-6, 7-6 (1), 7-5.</p>



<p>The other seeded players in the tournament were Alex de Minaur (second round), Roman Safiullin (first round), Miomir Kecmanovic (first round), and Purcell (second round).</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-semi-final-betting-previews">Semi-Final Betting Previews</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-jordan-thompson-347-vs-alexander-zverev-476">Jordan Thompson (+347) vs. Alexander Zverev (-476)</h3>



<p>This is the second career meeting between Thompson and Zverev and they've split their first two meetings. Thompson, who has been on court almost 3 hours and 30 minutes more than Zverev in Los Cabos, is 11-5 this season. Zverev is 11-2. Thompson upset Zverev in their last meeting 6-3, 6-4 at the Tokyo Open in October 2023, whereas Zverev beat Thompson at the Citi Open way back in 2017.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-stefanos-tsitsipas-108-vs-casper-ruud-114">Stefanos Tsitsipas (-108) vs. Casper Ruud (-114)</h3>



<p>Tsitsipas and Ruud have met three times in their careers, with Tsitsipas holding a 2-1 advantage. Tsitsipas, 6-2 this season, won their last meeting in August 2021 at the Rogers Cup in Toronto. Ruud beat Tsitsipas earlier that season at the Mutua Madrid Open. Ruud is 8-1 this season with his only loss coming at the Australian Open. Tsitsipas is a much better hard court player, however, going 25-11 since the start of last season. Ruud is 19-12 on the surface since the beginning of 2023.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-mifel-tennis-open-final-prediction">Mifel Tennis Open Final Prediction</h2>



<p>While Zverev is the massive favorite against Thompson, there's plenty of reason to expect an upset for the Aussie. He beat Zverev no more than five months ago in straight sets and is coming off of a confidence-building victory in which he came back after losing the first set 0-6. Betting Thompson at +347 especially is great value.</p>



<p>As strong of a start to his season that Ruud has had, he'll be in tough against Tsitsipas, who is a better hard court player and the defending champion in Los Cabos.</p>



<p>Tennis Pick: Tsitsipas def. Thompson</p>

</table>
Kevin Harvick and Denny Hamlin sit 1 &amp; 2 in the readjusted standings and also sit as co-favorites in this race. The NASCAR schedule was impacted by a lot of cancellations and postponements, but we still managed to see nine races on 1.5-mile tracks prior to this one. Hamlin has the only two wins between the two guys, with wins at Homestead-Miami and Kansas.

As we often see on 1.5-mile tracks, the prices are depressed on several guys, as the prices for the middle of the pack guys go up a bit. We’ve got four drivers under 6/1 this week. We haven’t seen that in a long time.
<h3><strong><u>Standings Update</u></strong></h3>
As mentioned, the standings were readjusted for the next round of the playoffs. All drivers still in contention were reset to 4,000 points and then bonus points accrued during the regular season and the playoffs were applied. Harvick leads with 4,067 points. Hamlin is second with 4,053 points. Brad Keselowski is third with 4,035 points. Chase Elliott is fourth with 4,027 points, which puts him just above the cut line thanks to his bonus points from winning on the Roval last week.

Joey Logano has 4,022 points. Martin Truex Jr. has 4,017 points and is one of those drivers under 6/1 this week. Alex Bowman has 4,009 points and Kurt Busch has 4,006 points. Busch survived thanks to his win on the 1.5-mile track at Las Vegas in the last round.
<h3><strong><u>Kansas</u></strong><strong><u> Speedway</u></strong></h3>
This is about as generic as a track gets in NASCAR. There is a road course at Kansas and maybe that will be part of the schedule down the line, but the tri-oval with four turns and 1.5 miles of racing is the track in question this week. Progressive turns between 17-20 degrees and a pretty flat backstretch with 5-degree banking are the hallmarks of this track.

NASCAR has come to Kansas twice a year since 2011. Racing started here back in 2001 when Jeff Gordon won the first of three races just off of I-70. There is a Hollywood Casino on site, hence the sponsorship that has been in place since 2010 for this race.

There have been five different winners over the last five years and none of them are surprising names, as Joey Logano, Kevin Harvick, Martin Truex Jr., Chase Elliott, and Denny Hamlin have been victorious. Hamlin also won earlier this year and has three wins on the track. Another win would make him the only driver with four career wins at Kansas.
<h3><strong><u>Cup Championship Odds</u></strong></h3>
Before we finish looking at this race, here are the <a href="http://bangthebook.com/s/mybookie"><strong>MyBookie</strong> </a>prices for the overall champion with eight drivers left:

Kevin Harvick +150

Denny Hamlin +220

Chase Elliott +600

Brad Keselowski +600

Martin Truex Jr. +1000

Joey Logano +1200

Kurt Busch +2500

Alex Bowman +2500

Harvick, Hamlin, Elliott, and Keselowski have an inside track to the season finale at Phoenix. Harvick owns Phoenix and is the points leader, so he is the favorite. Hamlin is also just about a lock to advance to the next round, unless all three wins in this round come from drivers below him, which is entirely possible.
<h3><strong><u>Kansas</u></strong><strong><u> Results</u></strong></h3>
There have been 29 races at Kansas. Kevin Harvick has been in all of them and has three wins, nine top-five finishes, and the highest average finish in 9.6th place. Martin Truex Jr. and Jimmie Johnson also have nine top-five finishes each. Chase Elliott has four in just nine starts here.

Joey Logano’s aggressiveness has hurt him and helped him here. He has two wins and seven top-five finishes, but he’s only finished on the lead lap 12 times in 22 races. When he finishes the race, he generally does very well, but he’s had issues at this track. He’s finished the race 18 of 22 times, but has had various hiccups at this track.

If we look specifically at the last 10 races, Kyle Busch leads in top-five and top-10 finishes with six and eight, respectively, but he is having a terrible season by his standards. Harvick, Truex, and Hamlin each have five. Harvick’s 417 points are 30 more than Busch and 51 more than Truex, so this has certainly been a strong track for him. Harvick struggled last round, but Talladega and road courses are not his forte.

Kurt Busch doesn’t have a win here, but has the fourth-highest average finish over the last 10 starts behind Harvick, Truex, and brother Kyle.

Basically, the big takeaway here is that you should not expect a surprise.
<h3><strong><u>Hollywood Casino 400 Picks</u></strong></h3>
To me, it has to be Harvick and Hamlin this week. With both guys at +400, you’ll still turn a profit if you bet a unit on each. Joey Logano at +1200 is a good gamble for a half or quarter unit as well. He has only finished seven of the last 10 here, but has a win, three top-five finishes, and four top-10 finishes when he has been able to complete all 267 laps.

Leading up to the game, they were the heavy favorite at -142. It got tense at the end, as the Orioles pulled to within one run in the 8th, but Edwin Diaz was able to close things out and pick up the save.</p>

<p>Sean Manaea put together a good start for the Mets, going seven innings and giving up just three runs on three hits. He also issued only one walk and struck out nine Orioles batters. The Mets's offense was carried by Francisco Lindor, who went 2/4 with a homer and a run scored.</p><p>The Mets are 66-61 overall, putting them 3rd in the NL East, 8.5 games behind the Phillies for the division lead. This season, they have gone 22-17 in divisional matchups. New York is opening a series vs. the Padres today, and they won their most recent series vs. the Orioles.</p>

<p>At home, the Mets are 35-33 this season, and they are 31-28 on the road. As the underdog, the Mets have dropped three straight, and they are 16-15 as road underdogs this year. New York's overall series record is 21-16-7, and they have won two straight series.</p><p>Despite their overall run line record being below .500, the Mets have been a profitable team to bet on the run line when they are the underdog. Their run line record as the underdog is 28-21, while their run line record as the favorite is just 31-47. Their average run margin in winning games is 3.6, while their average run margin in losing games is -3.5.</p><p>The Mets are on the road against the Padres today, and the over/under line is set at 7.5 runs. The combined run average in Mets games this season is 9.3 runs, and their over/under record is 64-59. The average over/under line in Mets games is 8 runs, and their over/under record when the line is set at 7.5 runs is 12-13. In 71.7% of Mets games this season, the over/under line has been set higher than 7.5 runs.</p><p>Luis Severino is looking to build off his last outing, where he didn't give up a run and picked up the win. In that outing vs. the Marlins, he went 9 innings and gave up just 4 hits. Looking back further, Severino had given up at least 4 earned runs in three straight starts before that outing. His overall record is 8-6, and he has an ERA of 3.91. Opponents are batting .228 off Severino this season. The right-hander has one complete game shutout this year.</p><p>Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso have been two of the Mets' top power threats this season, with Alonso leading the team with 27 homers and Lindor right behind him with 25. Lindor has also been the team's top run producer, with 73 RBIs. Over his last 10 games, Lindor has gone 15/41 with three homers and six RBIs. Mark Vientos has also been swinging a hot bat of late, going 12/34 with three homers and seven RBIs in his last nine games.</p>

<p>As a team, the Mets are averaging 4.8 runs per game and have been even better on the road, averaging 5 runs per contest. Overall, they are 5th in home runs and have the 8th best team batting average in the league. New York is also among the league leaders in walks and have the 8th best slugging percentage in the league.</p><h3>Padres Records & Stats</h3><p>The Padres will be looking to get back on track after closing out their series vs. the Twins with an 11-4 loss. San Diego was actually the slight favorite at home going into the game but fell behind big early, as the Twins scored seven times in the 4th.</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.

<p>UFC 303 will be taking place in Las Vegas, Nevada this weekend, and it’s an event that has seen a number of changes to the schedule. This is still going to be a massive event as there were a number of fighters willing to step up to fight it out.&nbsp;</p>



<p>When taking a look at this big event, there are going to be a number of great fights to check out. Not only will this entire event provide plenty of drama and excitement, but there will be some excellent <a href="https://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">betting</a> options as well. </p>



<p>Here is a look at the best betting options that are available for UFC 303 set to take place this weekend.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Big Main Event</h2>



<p>The main event at UFC 303 will be a light heavyweight championship match between Alex Pereira and Jiri Prochazka. This is a bout that has some tight betting odds, but it is Pereira that is the slight betting favorite at -140.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This matchup was thrown together at the last minute, and that didn’t give the fighters much time to prepare for this big bout. This is a rematch from UFC 295, and it will be Pereira that is hoping to win for a second straight time.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Prochazka will be fighting hard to get revenge in this event, and the odds at +120 do give him a shot to come away with a big win. Pereira is the betting favorite for a reason though and taking him at -140 is going to be the bet to make in this fight. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center"><a href="https://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker">Get your Bookmaker PROMO code here</a></h2>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Look at the Co-Main</h2>



<p>Brian Ortega will be taking on Diego Lopes in the co-main event, and this was another fight that just seemed to be thrown together. These two featherweight fighters have both had successful careers and they should be looking to put on a show in this event.&nbsp;</p>



<p>While Ortega has been a <a href="https://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">betting</a> favorite in nearly every single fight during his career, that is not the case in this fight. The odds are tight for this battle as well, but Ortega is a slight underdog at +115.</p>



<p>Lopes is coming into this fight with betting odds at -135, and he has picked up some huge wins throughout his career. Look for this fight to end early as both fighters will be aggressive, but taking Ortego as an upset pick is the way to go in this one.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Other Fighters to Win</h2>



<p>Nearly every single fight this weekend comes with tight betting odds, and that’s going to lead to a great day of UFC action. Roman Dolidze is another fighter that is going to pick up a win, and he is favored at -140 over Anthony Smith.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Michael Page is another fighter to back if you want to go with an upset pick as he will get a nice win later on in the event. Page will be fighting Ian Machado Garry, and it’s a bout that most are going to keep a close eye on.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Be sure to check out the prelim events as well, as that is when you will get some additional value.</p>
