Indianapolis 500 Preview

They’re the most exciting left turns you’ll see in the entire universe! It’s the Greatest Spectacle in Racing! It’s the most fun you’ll ever have with something oval shaped! It’s the Indianapolis 500 betting preview!
Most of my handicapping comes at the expense of the four majors in sports, but I love to tread out of my comfort…

Pro Baseball Series of the Week:

While high hopes have all but been smashed for L.A.’s Baseball team that plays close to Mickey’s House, nothing but high hopes have sprung from the team that plays at Chavez Ravine.  That team will be without its best player this weekend when it takes on NL Central leading St. Louis in Pro Baseball betting.
With a record of 24 and 12, the best in…

Hoops Game 6 Action

This was supposed to be a second round playoff preview, but since we don’t have any matchups set for the semis in either conference here’s a rundown of the Thursday Game 6’s which I expect to put a close on the quarterfinals in NBA playoff betting. As usual, home team in caps. As I write this on a Wednesday morning, betting lines aren’t posted…

The Players Championship

Did you know that this video [Golf Boys] existed? I’ll have more on that in a second.
The Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass is usually the event where you can almost definitely expect the unexpected. The “fifth” major on the PGA Tour will draw the best of the best, especially with that monster purse up for grabs for the world class field….

The Preakness Stakes:

We’re two weekends away from betting on the Preakness Stakes, which is the second leg of the vaunted holy grail of horse racing we like to call the Triple Crown. As is the usual custom in the post-Kentucky Derby weeks, we hope that somebody can break the 34-year old drought of Triple Crown winners since Affirmed accomplished the magnanimous feat in 1978.
So…

It’s time for a Hockey Futures update now that Los Angeles and Phoenix, just a few short weeks ago the two biggest underdogs in the Sportsbook to win the hockey championship, have both ascended to the Western Conference Finals.  L.A. and Phoenix got to where they are by taking on favored teams and smacking those favored teams in their mouths.
Los Angeles…

2012 ATP Madrid

Rafael Nadal takes to the clay this week and he’s not too happy about it.  The French Open, the next grand slam event of the year, takes place between May 26 and June 10. There are three more ATP events, after ATP Madrid, before the French Open: the ATP Internazionali BNL d’Italia, the ATP Power Horse World Team Cup, and the ATP Open de Nice Cote d’ Azur. All…

Series of the Week:

Things have been looking up in the Los Angeles sports scene.  Los Angeles’ hockey team is a series away from making it to the Finals.  Both professional basketball teams are playing well, getting close to moving to the second round of the playoffs, and that often maligned L.A. baseball team found a bit of “magic” in a new ownership group. The…

Series of the Week

Philadelphia was supposed to be the obvious team to win their division this season in Baseball betting.  In fact, Philly was a huge -150 favorite going into the season to make it all the way to the championship series.
It hasn’t played out that way.  While Philadelphia is struggling, usual doormat Washington has pitched its way to the top of the division. …
