Check out the current line for this game at SBG Global.

D.C. United is coming off an impressive win last Thursday as they defeated New York 2-0. Josh Wicks started for the third consecutive game in goal. "I think I had a great game and it shows once again, if they need me and do decide to call on me, they have a solid guy that is going to play well," said Wicks. "Being a 'keeper is all about being consistent and I think I'm starting to get on a roll, I'm starting to be more consistent and I think my team is starting to have confidence in me."

Chicago comes into Saturday’s match having lost two straight including a 1-0 loss to Houston last Friday. "They had one chance on goal," Chicago coach Denis Hamlett said, "Good teams will punish you and Houston is a good Soccer Betting team. We didn't concede too many set pieces. We kept them at bay. It is disappointing on that play, losing the game." The Fire have been shutout in two straight games. "I thought that other than the one goal, C.J. [Brown] and Dasan [Robinson] did very well. I thought we played well and created a lot of chances. ... They're a dangerous team, and I thought we handled it well. We just couldn't find the back of the net," said goalkeeper Jon Busch.

Chicago is 4-0-3 on the road this season. Chicago has played D.C. United a total of 35 times in their history. United has 14 wins while the Fire has 13. The teams have played to a total of 8 draws. At RFK it is United with 9 wins all-time against Chicago while the Fire have five wins. They have played to four draws at RFK. Last year the road team won all three meetings between the two teams. The Fire have won two of the last five league meetings at RFK Stadium.

New York Mets at New York Yankees

MLB Betting Preview
New York Mets at New York Yankees
Saturday, 4:10 pm Eastern – Fox

The Subway series has resumed this weekend in New York with the Yankees hosting the Mets. The teams get the national spotlight on Fox television on Saturday as Livan Hernandez gets the call for the Mets while the Yankees counter with Andy Pettitte.

Check out the current line for this game at SBG Global.

Hernandez has been a huge plus for the Mets this season. He is 5-1 on the year with a 3.88 ERA. He pitched seven shutout innings against the Nationals in his last start. The key for Hernandez on Saturday could be how he handles Alex Rodriguez. A-Rod is batting .625 in his career against Hernandez with three home runs.

Pettitte is 6-2 on the season with a 4.22 ERA. He has pitched much better during the day than at night so that is something to keep in mind in this game. His ERA in day games is a full run lower than in night games. He is coming off a start in which he allowed just two earned runs against the Rays in six innings.

Runs have been plentiful at Yankee Stadium this season but with the Mets in town the numbers could go down. The key for the Mets has been the play of David Wright. When he is hitting they score runs but when he is not they struggle.

Here are the MLB Betting stats for Saturday’s game. The Mets are 4-1 in their last 5 interleague road games. The Mets are 5-2 in their last 7 interleague games vs. a right-handed starter. The Mets are 2-6 in their last 8 games as a road underdog.

The Yankees are 12-4 in their last 16 games as a home favorite. The Yankees are 55-22 in their last 77 interleague home games.

The Under is 5-1 in the Mets last 6 vs. the American League East. The Over is 19-7-2 in the Mets last 28 interleague road games.

The Under is 7-1 in the Yankees last 8 interleague home games. The Under is 11-5-2 in the Yankees last 18 overall. Before this series began the Over was 5-0 in the last 5 meetings at Yankee Stadium.

Los Angeles Lakers at Orlando Magic (

NBA Finals Game Four
Los Angeles Lakers at Orlando Magic (Lakers lead 2-1)
Thursday, 9:05 pm Eastern – ABC

SBG Global Opening Line: Magic - 3 , Total 202

The Orlando Magic shot lights out on Tuesday and got back into the NBA Finals as they defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 108-104. Orlando’s shooting was so good (63 percent) that it set an NBA Finals record. "They pretty much made all their shots," Lakers forward Trevor Ariza said.

SBG Global reports that early NBA betting has the public taking Lakers on the Road.

The Magic now are back in the NBA Finals and they could even the series with a win on Thursday. If they come back to win this series they would become only the fourth team in NBA history to come back after losing the first two games. "Why not?" Magic forward Hedo Turkoglu said. "We believe in each other and as long as we're playing our game, our system and fighting for 48 minutes - why not?"

Even though the Magic shot the ball extremely well, the Lakers still had a chance in Game 3. Kobe Bryant scored 31 points for the Lakers but he simply played poorly down the stretch. He had just 10 points in the second half, missed a key free throw late and committed a costly turnover in the last minute. "It was a bad night," he said.

Orlando had five players score at least 18 points in Game 3. "We lost two games, but there's no need to roll over," Dwight Howard said. "It's a seven-game series. A team has to beat you four times to end the series and we felt good knowing that we had three games at home."

The Lakers know they lost the game because they didn’t play much defense.
"We lost this game on the defensive end," Kobe Bryant said. "We had been playing very good defense and the team tonight shoots 62 percent from the field."

Here are the NBA betting stats for Thursday’s game. The Lakers are 23-8-2 ATS in their last 33 games as a road underdog. The Lakers are 2-11-1 ATS in their last 14 NBA Championship games. The Lakers are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Orlando.

The Magic are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games overall. The Magic are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. the Western Conference.

SBG Global Current Line: Magic - 2.5 , Total 201

The Over is 5-1 in the Lakers last 6 games as a road underdog. The Under is 10-3 in the Lakers last 13 overall. The Under is 27-12 in Orlando’s last 39 games as a home favorite. The Over is 6-0 in the last 6 meetings in Orlando between the two teams.

Los Angeles Angels at Tampa Bay Rays

MLB Betting Preview
Los Angeles Angels at Tampa Bay Rays
Thursday, 7:05 pm Eastern

SBG Global Opening Line: Rays - 137 , Total 9 Under - 125

Two young pitching stars match up on Thursday as Ervin Santana and the Los Angeles Angels face David Price and the Tampa Bay Rays. Santana is just 1-2 on the season with a 6.75 ERA but he is still rounding into form after coming off the DL while Price is 1-0 on the season with a 2.45 ERA.

SBG Global reports that early MLB Betting has the public taking Rays at Home.

Santana was excellent in his last start against the Tigers giving up just one run on six hits in 8 2/3 innings. Santana is 3-3 with a 5.51 ERA in eight career outings against the Rays. He has struggled at Tropicana Field as he is 1-3 with a 6.81 ERA.

Price has made three starts for Tampa Bay this season and has only one decision. In his last start against the Yankees he went 5 2/3 innings and allowed just one earned run on two hits.

Los Angeles is not leading the American League West right now but manager Mike Scioscia believes it is only a matter of time. "There are a lot of good things that are happening with our club, but not as consistently as they need to," Scioscia said, "We're very optimistic that we're going to put one good game after another. That's what we need to do, but right now it's been a little bit hit and miss. But we're healthier now than we were a month ago and we just need guys to get into the game and just start to do it on a consistent basis and then we'll see where we are.”

The Angels are definitely a lot better now that they have two of their injured pitchers back in the rotation. "..we have some important pitchers back in Lackey and Santana in our rotation right now, and Escobar.” said Scioscia, “We're still trying to find a little chemistry in the bullpen. Vlad's back in the lineup and when he starts swinging like he can, he'll be a difference-maker for us on the offensive side."

Here are the MLB Betting stats for Thursday’s game. The Angels are 7-1 in their last 8 road games vs. a left-handed starter. The Angels are 0-4 in Santana’s last 4 road starts vs. the Rays.

The Rays are 62-27 in their last 89 games as a home favorite.

The Over is 4-1 in the Angels last 5 games vs. a left-handed starter. The Under is 8-0 in Santana’s last 8 road starts.

SBG Global Current Line: Rays - 143 , Total 9 Under - 125

The Under is 6-0-1 in the Rays last 7 games as a home favorite. The Under is 7-0-1 in the Rays last 8 games vs. a right-handed starter.

Chivas USA at Houston

MLS Betting Preview
Chivas USA at Houston
Wednesday, 8:30 pm Eastern – ESPN 2

The top two teams in the Soccer Betting Western Conference get together on Wednesday night in Houston as the Dynamo host Chivas USA. The Dynamo are red hot, unbeaten in their last eight games overall. They are six points behind Chivas in the Western Conference but they have two games in hand.

Houston is a -280 favorite with a total of 2.5 under at SBG Global.

Wednesday’s match could be low scoring considering these are the top two defensive teams in the league. Houston has allowed only 7 goals while Chivas has given up only 9. The Dynamo hasn’t allowed more than a single goal in any of their last nine games, with six shutouts. Houston could break their own league record for fewest goals allowed in a season which they set two years ago.

Houston started the season with two losses and two ties in their first four games, and allowed five goals in their first three games. They've won six of seven since and are 2-0-1 in their last three road games. After hosting Chivas on Wednesday the Dynamo will play five of their next six matches on the road.

Chivas still has the overall MLS points lead after getting a 1-0 win against Seattle on Saturday. Chivas has 27 points from 13 matches, which is six points more than Houston and also six points more than Eastern Conference leader Chicago. "It was important for our confidence to get that win," said Chivas’ Carey Talley. "In the last few weeks we've played some very good soccer games and come away with a point or with nothing. So for us to come out of this game with three points, you have to give credit to our guys."

Here are the Soccer Betting stats for Wednesday’s game. The teams have met 10 times in their history and Houston has four wins while Chivas has only one. Five times the teams have played to a draw. Houston is a perfect 4-0-2 at home against Chivas. Houston has held Chivas without a goal in Houston for the last 465 minutes in league play.

New York Yankees at Boston Red Sox

MLB Betting Preview
New York Yankees at Boston Red Sox
Wednesday, 7:10 pm Eastern – ESPN

SBG Global Opening Line: Red Sox - 140 , Total 11 Flat

If history is any indication then there could be a lot of runs scored on Wednesday night in Boston as the Red Sox host the New York Yankees. Chien-Ming Wang gets the start for New York and he has not pitched well so far this season. Tim Wakefield gets the call for Boston and while he has pitched well this season for the Sox he has struggled in this career against New York.

SBG Global reports that early MLB Betting has the public taking Red Sox at Home.

Wang is 0-3 on the season with a bloated 14.46 ERA. He allowed five runs to the Rangers in his last start in only 4 2/3 innings of work. He is 3-3 with a 5.11 ERA at Fenway in his career.

Wakefield has been excellent at home this season going 4-0 with a 3.00 ERA. He has had problems against New York in his career though, going 10-17 against the Yankees with a 5.03 ERA.

The Yankees and Red Sox have resumed their positions at the top of the American League East so things are definitely back to normal in this series.
"From our standpoint, I believe we have a lot of similarities being in a big market and having high expectations," said Red Sox third baseman Mike Lowell. "I look forward to it. I think it's a great way to see how you measure up at certain points in the season. I know they've been playing really good baseball and I feel like we're getting into that groove where we're going to be playing some of our best baseball. They're always exciting games, and two teams mixed up with a lot of talent." The Red Sox had a lot of early season success against the Yankees but New York has played superbly since Alex Rodriguez returned and has taken the division lead. "They have a great team," said second baseman Dustin Pedroia, "They've been playing good baseball. We have to come out and play good baseball, too. Hopefully we come out and win the series."

Here are the MLB Betting stats for Wednesday’s game. The Yankees are 21-8 in Wang’s last 29 road starts. The Yankees are 5-1 in Wang’s last 6 starts vs. the Red Sox.

The Red Sox are 38-14 in Wakefield’s last 52 starts as a home favorite. The Red Sox are 2-5 in Wakefield’s last 7 home starts vs. the Yankees.

SBG Global Current Line: Red Sox - 122 , Total 11 Under - 115

The Over is 5-0 in Wang’s last 5 starts overall. The Over is 4-1 in Wang’s last 5 road starts vs. the Red Sox.

The Under is 6-1 in the Red Sox last 7 games as a home favorite. The Over is 4-1 in Wakefield’s last 5 starts as a home favorite.

Los Angeles Lakers at Orlando Magic NBA Finals Game Three

NBA Finals Game Three
Los Angeles Lakers at Orlando Magic (Lakers lead 2-0)
Tuesday, 9:05 pm Eastern – ABC

SBG Global Opening Line: Magic - 4 , Total 198.5

The Orlando Magic had a chance in the NBA Finals to make the Los Angeles Lakers sweat and it remains to be seen if they get another one. Courtney Lee missed a layup with less than a second remaining in Game 2 and the Magic ended up losing Game 2 in overtime. Now the series shifts to Orlando where the Magic face a must-win Game 3 on Tuesday.

SBG Global reports that early NBA betting has the public taking Magic at Home.

The Lakers realize they could have lost on Sunday and Kobe Bryant has promised they will play better on Tuesday. "We're about to kick it up," he said. "You'd better believe it. We're close. You see what I'm saying? This is the finals. We're going to be ready to go." The Lakers have been an up and down team during the playoffs but Pau Gasol believes that is over. "We're playing tougher," Gasol said. "We understand what it takes to go get the championship."

The problem for Orlando is NBA history. Only three teams have won an NBA title after losing the first two games. "We've just got to go home and take care of business," Magic center Dwight Howard said. "The Lakers did a good job of protecting their home, and now it's our turn to do the same thing. We've been in some tough situations. We've just got to fight our way out."

Orlando has a number of issues they must correct if they are to make this into a series. The first problem is turnovers. They had 20 turnovers in Game 2 and their point guards were awful. Rafer Alston and Jameer Nelson have played very poorly and Orlando head coach Stan Van Gundy had to go to Hedo Turkoglu to run the point for a while. "We were just trying to see if we could get somebody out there who would make shots off of the double teams and off the pick-and-rolls and things like that," Van Gundy said. "I thought our guys fought hard, but we couldn't make enough plays. And the 20 turnovers crushed us."

Here are the NBA betting stats for Tuesday’s game. The Lakers are 22-8-2 ATS in their last 32 games as a road underdog. The Lakers are 2-5 ATS in the last 7 meetings.

The Magic are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 playoff games as a favorite.

SBG Global Current Line: Magic - 4 , Total 198

The Under is 10-1 in the Lakers last 11 vs. the Eastern Conference. The Under is 11-5 in the Lakers last 16 road games. The Under is 7-2 in Orlando’s last 9 playoff games as a favorite. The Over is 5-0 in the last 5 meetings in Orlando between the two teams.
