MLB Game of the Year Tops Tuesday Winners

What’s hotter than the Ines Sainz pictures? The MLB Game of the Year from the greatest sports handicapper off all time.

Courtesy of OddsShark.com: Today in the Daily Sports Roundup: The Twins begin a series in Chicago, while the Padres battle with the Rockies, and the WNBA Finals continue with Game 2 in Seattle.

Meeting up on the diamond . . .

The American League schedule for Tuesday offers up Toronto at Baltimore, the Angels at Cleveland, the Yankees at Tampa Bay, Detroit at Texas, Oakland at Kansas City, Boston at Seattle, and Minnesota at the White Sox. Francisco Liriano (13-7, 3.24 ERA) is slated to take on John Danks (13-10, 3.54 ERA) in that Twins/ChiSox matchup. Lefthander Liriano beat the Royals in his last trip to the mound, giving up just two runs on seven hits over his seven innings of work. Minnesota is 9-1 in Liriano’s last 10 starts. Lefthander Danks was beaten by the Tigers last time out, surrendering five runs (two earned) on eight hits over six innings. Chicago has won two of Danks’ last eight outings.

Over in the National League on Tuesday it’s then Philadelphia at Florida, Pittsburgh at the Mets, Arizona at Cincinnati, Washington at Atlanta, Milwaukee at Houston, the Cubs at St. Louis, the Dodgers at San Francisco, and San Diego at Colorado. The Padres are expected to send Jon Garland (13-11, 3.52 ERA) to the mound in that last matchup, while the Rockies counter with Jason Hammel (10-7, 4.34 ERA). Righthander Garland lost his third straight start last time out against the Giants, giving up six runs on eight hits over his five innings of work. Righthander Hammel settled for a no-decision against the Reds in his most recent start, allowing five runs on eight hits through seven innings.

GodsTips: True we are 14-6 with all football Wise Guys going back to preseason, but there is so much money to continue to be made betting baseball. As far as we are concerned, the bookmakers have been giving away money in MLB since 1986. Off a 3-1 Monday overall, including an MLB sweep, we have the MLB Game of the Year going Wednesday among three MLB winners. Get the Game of the Year now

Rounding out the Roundup . . .

Finally, the 2010 WNBA Finals continue on Tuesday night with Atlanta at Seattle in Game 2 of the best-of-five series. Seattle won the opener at home on Sunday afternoon, getting 26 points from Lauren Jackson in the slim 79-77 victory. Camille Little added 18 points and 11 rebounds for the Storm in that win, while Sue Bird was good for 14 points. Angel McCoughtry and Iziane Castro Marques had 19 points each for Atlanta.

Bodog Previews ESPN Monday Night Football Picks

Sports handicappers have the picks in and Bodog has the preview.

Ray Lewis and Rex Ryan’s heated trash talk has made tonight’s Baltimore Ravens/New York Jets matchup one worth watching.

NFL Odds have listed the Jets, who will be playing at their brand new stadium in East Rutherford, NJ, as -1 favorites in the Bodog Sportsbook with a listed Total of 36. Essentially telling football fans that this will be a low-scoring, back-and-forth, 60-minute bout.

In the “Away” corner you have the Ravens. A defensive juggernaut in the past, Baltimore has done their best to improve on the offensive side of the ball over the years by adding running back Ray Rice, quarterback Joe Flacco and, more recently, wideout Anquan Boldin.

Unfortunately for Baltimore, you have the defensive-minded Jets in the “Home” corner. Under Ryan the Jets should give the Ravens’ improved offense fits, especially with shutdown corner Darrelle Revis back in the lineup to put Pro Bowl WR Boldin on his “island.” What New York is lacking is a consistent offense themselves. Sophomore QB Mark Sanchez showed little promise in preseason; it may be on the running game to move the ball on Monday Night.

If the Ravens can match their 2009 average of 24.4 points per game in this contest, it could be an easy upset. The Jets are 0-6 against the spread when giving up 24 points or more.

Now to the late game preview courtesy of Bodog

With NFL Odds listing San Diego as -5.5 favorites versus Kansas City, first glance says it will be lights out for the Chiefs on Monday Night Football.

Not so fast. There are plenty of factors that could make for another classic Monday Night upset.

First, we’re not quite sure what we’ll see on offense from the Chargers. An elite attack in 2009, San Diego will be missing wideout Vincent Jackson and left tackle Marcus McNeil due to ugly contract disputes — two key pieces to the ‘09 offense.

Second, this is a better Chiefs offense. They added ageless running back Thomas Jones via free agency, have Charlie Weis to coach the offense and breakout RB Jamaal Charles ready to keep rolling in year two.

Third, the Chiefs are the dreaded homedog. This weekend alone four out of six homedogs covered; never underestimate the power of homefield.

If San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers — with the help of first-round rookie runner Ryan Matthews — can move the ball like  last year, it should be business as usual. If there’s trouble with the blindside and stretching the field, it could look something like the perplexing Cowboys/Redskins game on Sunday Night Football.

Vegas Scores and Odds NFL Picks

Vegas scores and odds free pick Monday is on the Ravens says Matt Rivers. They are getting 1.5 to the NY Jets on ESPN Monday Night Football.

Matt Rivers, who was the winningest handicapper ever—nobody came close—on a large network of sites.

Let me preface this by saying that I am a Jets fan but whenever much is expected from the J-E-T-S Jets, Jets, Jets things seem to snowball in the wrong direction. Rex Ryan’s defense is legit and lights out. Darrelle Revis is insanely great and the team will not allow many points to anybody including Joe Flacco and the Ravens. But Marc Sanchez is just not good and will wind up being the Achilles heel for the men in green.

Top NFL handicappers say that the New York signal caller has shown flashes in small doses and was very good in the playoff game at Indianapolis last season but I have watched him way too many times to believe in the guy. Sanchez is just not very good and not close to Joe Flacco. Yes it’s true that the Baltimore defense is a shell of itself without Ed Reed but Ray Lewis is still around and even if the secondary is banged up I don’t see the former USC QB being able to take advantage. If anything he is going to try and squeeze stuff in there thinking that he can and watch it backfire on him with a couple of turnovers.

The Ravens have a blossoming stud in Ray Rice who may not dominate the New York defense but he will continue to grind away and eventually in a well-played and low scoring game I just see these visitors coming out with the victory.

Flacco, Rice, Boldin and Ray Lew, banged up or not, may be the best team in the AFC and even on the road have my vote today.

The pick: Baltimore Ravens +1.5

NBC NFL Redskins vs. Cowboys Spread Betting Breakdown

Squares did great early, but the sharps were quite fine as ScoresOddsPicks goes a stunning 5-1 including Pittsburgh as the Nonconference Best Bet of the Year. Now Bodog looks at NBC Sports Football Night in America.

In part because of his performance in the final two games of last season against the Dallas Cowboys – both losses – Donovan McNabb was traded by the Philadelphia Eagles this offseason to division-rival Washington, and McNabb makes his Redskins debut Sunday night against a Dallas team he sees for the fourth time in 10 months. The Redskins are 3.5-point underdogs on Bodog’s NFL Odds, and there will be live betting available.

The Cowboys clearly are McNabb’s nemeses, as they were 3-0 against him last year and won seven of the past 10 against his Eagles. Not that the Redskins fared much better against Dallas last year, losing both games and scoring a combined six points. A 17-0 Dallas win in late December was the Cowboys-Redskins rivalry’s first shutout since Dallas’ 27-0 road win on Dec. 14, 2003. Washington went winless in the NFC East last season for the first time since 1994.

Meanwhile, Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth, who has been one of the big stories of the preseason for his mental tug of war with Coach Mike Shanahan, will be with the team Sunday and will play. There had been talk that Haynesworth might be traded back to Tennessee because the Redskins are tired of his malcontent attitude. Plus he’s not even in shape.

Dallas should have one of the best offenses in the league with Tony Romo, Felix Jones, Marion Barber, Miles Austin and Jason Witten, and Dallas added arguably the steal of this year’s draft in getting Oklahoma State wide receiver Dez Bryant. He will play after sitting out the entire preseason with an injury. But Dallas does have a few problems on the offensive line. Starting right tackle Marc Colombo and left guard Kyle Kosier are unlikely  to play because of knee injuries. Alex Barron, acquired from the Rams this offseason, would start for Colombo and Montrae Holland for Kosier.

Dallas was 10-8 against the spread last year (including playoffs), while Washington was 7-8-1.

NFL Football Tips For Online Sports Betting Week 1

Football tips NFL are flowing in as Bodog peeks at the Colts vs. Texans.

Indianapolis Colts have always been a bully in the AFC South, but color us a little shocked to see their Week 1 opponent, the Houston Texans, listed as +2 underdogs at home on NFL Odds.

The Texans certainly have the talent to have better NFL odds in this game: Matt Schaub has become one of the top quarterbacks in the league; Wide receiver Andre Johnson catches footballs like he bathes in super glue; and running back Arian Foster showed in preseason he’s ready for prime time.

But then there’s their record against the Colts, a disturbing 1-15. The Texans seems to do at least one thing to lose the game when it comes to the Colts, perplexing considering Houston drafted players like Mario Williams specifically to counter them in the AFC South. The No. 1 overall pick from the 2006 draft will have to pressure Peyton Manning in order for Houston to beat the odds.

Good luck. We have a feeling Manning is ready to prove his giant dome has no Super Bowl hangover.
