Today’s online betting news features several teams going in different directions. In NHL betting, the Montreal Canadiens pulled out a dramatic victory last night over Edmonton in their first game since firing head coach Guy Carbonneau. Longtime captain SakuKoivu tied the game late and scored the overtime winner.
Those who bet on hockey need to watch Montreal closely down the home stretch in the Stanley Cup odds. Hockey teams often catch fire, at least temporarily, with new coaches. The Penguins have won nine of 10 with new coach Dan Bylsma at the helm, so the Habs, who joined the Pens as top Eastern Conference contenders to start the season, could follow suit with Bob Gainey behind the bench. You might want to place a few bets on the Habs soon while they’re still undervalued.
Speaking of undervalued, raise your hand if you saw the Netherlands’ two straight victories over the Dominican Republic coming in World Baseball Classic betting. If you did, you’re probably filthy rich now. Unbelievably, the Netherlands shocked the Dominicans for the second game in a row, winning an extra-innings thriller. Since many people considered the Dominicans the odds-on sportsbook favorites entering the tournament, the World Baseball Classic is anyone’s bet. Defending champion Japan still looks strong while the U.S., by far the deepest team in the tournament, is probably the safest pick to win it all right now.
In NBA betting, a wounded powerhouse is ripe for the picking these days. The hobbled Celtics should be without five regulars against Miami tonight – including Kevin Garnett and Rajon Rondo. That makes the Heat, who are riding Dwayne Wade’s massive MVP push, an attractive sportsbook pick.
On the links, Tiger Woods makes his long-awaited return to stroke play tomorrow at the WGC-CA Championship. Some online betting fans may stay away from him, as he certainly showed rust at the World Match Play Championship two weeks ago. However, Tiger owns Doral, so his comfort at the course could balance out any kinks.
