Chicago Fire (5-2-6) at D.C. United (4-2-7)
Saturday, 7:30 pm Eastern

The top two teams in the Soccer Betting Eastern Conference get together on Saturday night at RFK Stadium as D.C. United hosts Chicago. The two teams are separated by just two points as Chicago has 21 points while D.C. United has 19. United have lost just once in their last nine games while the Fire have lost two in a row after starting the season with an 11-game unbeaten streak. This will be the second meeting of the season between the two teams as they played to a 1-1 draw in late March.

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.

Stanley Cup Game 6

Stanley Cup Finals Game Six
Detroit Red Wings at Pittsburgh Penguins (Red Wings lead 3-2)
Tuesday, 8:05 pm Eastern – NBC

SBG Global Opening Line: Penguins - 150 , Total 5.5 Flat

The Detroit Red Wings will try and clinch the Stanley Cup for the second straight season in the same place they won the last one. The Red Wings won Game 6 last year against the Penguins and skated around Mellon Arena with the Stanley Cup. The Penguins don’t want that to happen again on Tuesday night. "We don't want that image in our heads again," Penguins forward Max Talbot said.

SBG Global reports that early Hockey betting has the public taking Penguins at Home.

The Red Wings know they need to take advantage on Tuesday and avoid a Game 7 back in Detroit. "It's obviously a special night when you know you have a chance to win the Cup in one single hockey game," goalie Chris Osgood said. The Red Wings look poised to win their second consecutive Stanley Cup after a dominating 5-0 win in Game 5 on Saturday.

Pittsburgh does not believe the series is over though. "You don't think about Game 7," Pittsburgh’s Ruslan Fedotenko said. "You focus on one game, one shift, and focus like it's your last shift and you do it again on the next shift. You play like that, you take care of business; you put yourselves in a good position to win that game."

The Penguins need their superstars, Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin to play like they did in Games 3 and 4 and not like they did in Game 5. "I think we're going to bounce back," Crosby said. "We have all year. We weren't happy with that effort, but we've moved on. I think we realize that, when we were in 10th place in the middle of the season, if they had told us that we had to win a game to force Game 7, we would have taken it."

Here are the Hockey betting stats for Tuesday’s game. The Red Wings are 15-5 in their last 20 Stanley Cup Finals games. The Red Wings are 1-4 in their last 5 playoff games as an underdog.

The Penguins are 21-5 in their last 26 playoff games as a favorite. The home team is 5-0 in the last 5 meetings between the two teams.

SBG Global Current Line: Penguins - 120 , Total 5.5 Over - 115

The Over is 4-0 in the Red Wings last 4 road games. The Under is 8-3-2 in the Red Wings last 13 Stanley Cup Finals games. The Over is 5-1 in the Penguins last 6 games as a home favorite. The Under is 9-4-2 in the last 15 meetings between the two teams.

MLB Betting Preview
Philadelphia Phillies (33-22) at New York Mets (30-25)
Tuesday, 7:10 pm Eastern

SBG Global Opening Line: Mets - 155 , Total 8 Flat

Johan Santana gets the start on Tuesday as the New York Mets open up a key series against the Philadelphia Phillies. Santana is 7-3 on the season with a 2.00 ERA and he has been excellent against the Phillies of late. He has gone 3-0 with a 2.49 ERA in his last six starts against Philadelphia. He pitched seven shutout innings against them on May 6th in a 1-0 New York win.

SBG Global reports that early MLB Betting has the public taking Phillies on the Road.

Santana will be tested on Tuesday against baseball’s best road team. The Phillies have won 13 of their last 17 on the road. The Phillies could easily have a 10-game winning streak but closer Brad Lidge blew two games in Los Angeles over the weekend as the Phillies split with the Dodgers. "We could have swept, but we got ourselves in a position where we needed a win to get a split and that's what we did," first baseman Ryan Howard said. "There's no sense in looking at what could have been."

The Phillies enter Tuesday’s game against the Mets leading them by three games in the National League East. The Phillies will send J.A. Happ on Tuesday. Happ is 2-0 with a 2.45 ERA in three starts since joining the rotation. He has pitched 5 2-3 shutout innings against the Mets this season in relief.

Here are the MLB Betting stats for Tuesday’s game. The Phillies are 8-2 in their last 10 vs. the National League East. The Phillies are 9-3 in their last 12 road games vs. a left-handed starter. The Phillies are 35-16 in their last 51 road games. The Phillies are 6-1 in Happ’s last 7 starts. The Phillies are 2-5 in the last 7 meetings in New York.

The Mets are 5-1 in their last 6 home games. The Mets are 7-2 in their last 9 vs. the National League East. The Mets are 10-3 in Santana’s last 13 starts as a home favorite.

SBG Global Current Line: Mets - 165 , Total 7.5 Over - 120

The Under is 7-1 in the Phillies last 8 games vs. a left-handed starter. The Under is 12-3-1 in the Phillies last 16 overall. The Under is 7-0 in Happ’s last 7 starts overall.

The Under is 4-0 in the Mets last 4 vs. the National League East. The Under is 5-2 in Santana’s last 7 starts as a home favorite.

Philadelphia Phillies at Los Angeles Dodgers

MLB Betting Preview
Philadelphia Phillies at Los Angeles Dodgers
Saturday, 4:10 pm Eastern – Fox

The two best teams in the National League play the third game of a four-game series on Saturday in a matinee at Dodger Stadium as Los Angeles hosts the Philadelphia Phillies. Joe Blanton gets the start for the Phillies while Hiroki Kuroda gets the call for the Dodgers.

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

The Phillies have been playing their best ball of the season of late while the Dodgers have simply been great all year. This series could easily be a preview of the National League Championship Series in October. The Dodgers look to have the edge on Saturday considering Kuroda is on the mound. He is 1-1 on the season with a 2.53 ERA. Kuroda has only made two starts this season because of injury but he looked good in his return on Monday as he gave up just two runs in five innings against Arizona. Last year Kuroda pitched very well in the playoffs against the Phillies, going eight innings and allowing only two runs.

Blanton has won his last three starts for the Phillies. He allowed three runs on six hits in seven innings against the Padres last time out. Blanton is 3-1 on the road this season and he is 6-1 on the road in his last 12 starts. While Blanton’s ERA is high, the Phillies win when he is on the mound. They are 16-7 in his 23 starts with the team.

Here are the MLB Betting stats for Saturday’s game. The Phillies are 4-0 in their last 4 games vs. a right-handed starter. The Phillies are 15-5 in their last 20 Saturday games. The Phillies are 36-16 in their last 52 road games. The Phillies are 4-0 in Blanton’s last 4 road starts.

The Dodgers are 12-2 in their last 14 Saturday games. The Dodgers are 22-8 in their last 30 home games vs. a right-handed starter. The Dodgers are 40-15 in their last 55 home games. The Dodgers are 4-1 in Kuroda’s last 5 home starts.

The Under is 10-2-1 in the Phillies last 13 overall. The Over is 11-5-2 in the Phillies last 18 road games vs. a right-handed starter. The Under is 6-2 in the Dodgers last 8 overall. The Under is 4-1 in Kuroda’s last 5 starts overall. The Over is 10-3-2 in the last 15 meetings in Los Angeles between the two teams.

Honduras at United States

World Cup Qualifier
Honduras at United States
Saturday, 8:00 pm Eastern – ESPN

The cakewalk that was expected for the United States to make it into the Soccer Betting 2010 World Cup has hit a major snag. After getting routed by Costa Rica 3-1 on Wednesday, the United States has dropped to second place behind Costa Rica in the group and the U.S. is just three points ahead of third place Honduras. The top three teams qualify for the World Cup so, the match on Saturday night in Chicago against Honduras has suddenly become a must win for the United States.

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

What makes Saturday’s match so important is that the next qualifier for the U.S. is in August at Mexico where they are 0-22-1. The good news for the United States is that they are 15-0-1 in qualifying at home since 2001. The match against Honduras was expected to be not much more than a formality but after a poor draw against El Salvador and the rout against Costa Rica, the U.S. is feeling the heat. Head coach Bob Bradley knows that his team must be better on Saturday. "We came up short against Costa Rica in every way," Bradley said. "I don't think there was any area at all where we were good enough to win a game against a good team. We fell short and we recognize that. We need a quick turnaround for the next game."
After the match against Honduras the U.A. plays the Soccer Betting Confederations Cup in South Africa, where they will play Brazil, Italy and Egypt in Group B. If the U.S. would perform poorly in those games it could put even more pressure on Bradley. The failure of the United States in the 2006 World Cup has put the pressure on the U.S. team to do well. A loss against Honduras on Saturday is just not acceptable. In fact, anything other than a win is not acceptable. "It's never easy coming off a loss," said central defender Oguchi Onyewu. "But as professionals, we have to put it behind us. We have to work as a team and move forward for the next game. Honduras is a talented team. We have a quick turnaround time between the games, so we have to do what is necessary to be prepared and have a better result. Right now, we have to learn from our mistakes and put that towards Saturday."

Pittsburgh Penguins at Detroit Red Wings

Stanley Cup Finals Game 5
Pittsburgh Penguins at Detroit Red Wings (Series tied 2-2)
Saturday, 8:05 pm Eastern – NBC

SBG Global Opening Line: Red Wings - 155 , Total 5.5 Over - 120

In less than six minutes the entire outlook of the Stanley Cup Finals changed in Game 4. The Detroit Red Wings went from having a one goal lead and looking for a 3-1 lead in the series to trailing by two goals and having the series tied 2-2. Game 5 is Saturday night in Detroit and can be seen on NBC television.

SBG Global reports that early Hockey betting has the public taking Red Wings at Home.

This series may have turned around because of Detroit’s inability to score on the power play. The Wings had back-to-back power plays in the second period when they were leading 2-1 but instead of adding to their lead, they gave up a shorthanded goal to Pittsburgh’s Jordan Staal which turned the game and perhaps the series around. "They were coming after us and we didn't really get the puck out or didn't hang on to the puck and show some poise. That shorthanded goal gave them a lot of momentum and energy and we didn't really respond to that," Detroit’s Nicklas Lidstrom said, "After that second goal, we didn't respond well and the game got away from us for a few minutes." Detroit’s defense collapsed after that as Sidney Crosby and Tyler Kennedy scored off Detroit’s turnovers and the game was over.

Detroit will try and continue the trend of home team success in this series as the scene shifts back to Detroit on Saturday. The Red Wings are also hoping that All-Star winger Pavel Datsyuk is able to return after missing the last seven games. "We're hoping to have him back in the next game," Lidstrom said, "We didn't know if he was going to show up (for Game 4), but if he comes back for the next one, he just adds that extra dimension to our team. He works really hard defensively and is just tough to play against."

Here are the Hockey betting stats for Saturday’s game. The Penguins are 7-3 in their last 10 vs. the Western Conference. The Penguins are 2-6 in the last 8 meetings in Detroit.

The Red Wings are 49-17 in their last 66 games as a home favorite. The Red Wings are 14-5 in their last 19 Stanley Cup Finals games. The home team is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings between the two teams.

SBG Global Current Line: Red Wings - 155 , Total 5.5 Over - 120

The Over is 10-4 in the Penguins last 14 Saturday games. The Under is 4-0 in the Red Wings last 4 games as a home favorite. The Under is 7-3-2 in the Red Wings last 12 Stanley Cup Finals games. The Under is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings in Detroit between the two teams.

Belmont Stakes Preview

Belmont Stakes Preview & Picks

The 141st running of the Belmont Stakes is Saturday with Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird the 2-1 morning line favorite. A total of 10 horses will go to the post, three of which have single-digit odds. Mine That Bird is the favorite at 2-1 followed by Charitable Man at 3-1 and Dunkirk at 4-1. The two favorites will start side by side as Mine That Bird is in post seven while Charitable Man is in post six.

Horse betting at SBG Global.

The Belmont may not have a Triple Crown at stake in terms of horses but it does have a jockey Triple Crown on the line as Calvin Borel looks to become the first jockey ever to win all three races aboard different horses. He may have his work cut out for him against Charitable Man who has become the choice of many Belmont Park insiders this week. Trainer Kiaran McLaughlin is based at Belmont Park, and won this race in 2006 with Jazil.
"I hope to be 2 for 2," he said.

Big name trainers Nick Zito and D. Wayne Lukas have two horses each in this race as Zito has Miner's Escape and Brave Victory. Last year Zito won with Da’ Tara as a huge longshot. Lukas, who has won the Belmont four times in the past, has Luv Gov and Flying Private. The only two horses to have run in all three Triple Crown races will be Mine That Bird and Flying Private. A total of 19 horses competed in the Derby and six are back for the Belmont. Of the 13 horses that ran in the Preakness only three are back for the Belmont.

Mine That Bird is the favorite in the Belmont Stakes Odds but deep closers rarely win so Mine That Bird will have to buck a little history. Charitable Man is going to get the lead on Saturday and he will be the horse to catch. Chocolate Candy could be an interesting choice as he has Garrett Gomez in the irons and he could like the added distance. Dunkirk is another horse with a shot simply based on his ability. So far in his career he has been a disappointment though. Mr. Hot Stuff has been training well at Keeneland for the Belmont and could hit the board at a price. The rest of the horses, Summer Bird, Luv Gov, Flying Private, Miner’s Escape and Brave Victory look overmatched.

The insiders like Charitable Man in the Belmont Stakes and unless Mine That Bird can close a lot of ground late then Charitable Man should win. Chocolate Candy and Mr. Hot Stuff are two longshots that could provide some value with exotic wagers.

MLB Betting Preview

MLB Betting Preview
Los Angeles Angels (25-24) at Toronto Blue Jays (29-24)
Tuesday, 7:05 pm Eastern

SBG Global Opening Line: Blue Jays - 165 , Total 8 Under - 115

Roy Halladay goes for his league leading 9th win on Tuesday as the Toronto Blue Jays host the Los Angeles Angels. The Blue Jays have lost Halladay’s last two starts but it hasn’t been his fault. He is 8-1 on the season with a 2.63 ERA. In his last start he gave up three runs in seven innings against Baltimore but the bullpen blew the game. "We know Doc goes out there every fifth day and does his thing on the mound. We just try to pick up what's left, and usually, it's not a lot," Toronto reliever Brian Wolfe said. Halladay has been just average against the Angels in his career, going 7-5 with a 4.35 ERA in 15 games.

SBG Global reports that early MLB Betting has the public taking Angels on the Road.

Toronto had won six straight at home until an 8-2 loss to Boston. The Blue Jays are 9-9 this season against left-handed starters and they will face a good one on Tuesday as the Angels send Joe Saunders who is 6-3 with a 3.26 ERA. Saunders is 1-2 with a 3.62 ERA in four career starts against Toronto.

The Angels are coming off a big win on Sunday as they rallied from seven runs down to defeat Seattle. Now they start a nine-game road trip in Toronto. The game salvaged a very poor homestand in which the Angels went 2-4. "We had a rough week, I'm not going to lie," the Angels Torii Hunter said, "Today we battled, fought back. We'll take this on the road with us."

Last year the Angels won two of three in Toronto but they have lost 15 of the last 22 there since 2003. Here are the MLB Betting stats for Tuesday’s game. The Angels are 4-1 in their last 5 games as a road underdog. The Angels are 7-1 in Saunders' last 8 starts as a road underdog. The Angels are 4-9 in the last 13 meetings in Toronto.

The Blue Jays are 11-4 in their last 15 vs. the American League West. The Blue Jays are 5-1 in Halladay’s last 6 starts vs. the American League West.

SBG Global Current Line: Blue Jays - 170 , Total 8 Under - 115

The Under is 4-1 in the Angels last 5 overall. The Under is 4-1 in Saunders' last 5 starts overall. The Over is 15-4 in Halladay’s last 19 starts overall. The Under is 4-0-1 in Halladay’s last 5 home starts vs. the Angels. The Under is 22-5-3 in the last 30 meetings in Toronto between the two teams.

Stanley Cup Game 3 Preview
Detroit Red Wings at Pittsburgh Penguins (Red Wings lead 2-0)
Tuesday, 8:05 pm Eastern – CBC, Versus

SBG Global Opening Line: Penguins - 165 , Total 5.5 Flat

The Pittsburgh Penguins feel they have outplayed the Detroit Red Wings for most of the first two games of the Stanley Cup Finals, yet they trail 2-0. "I think we outplayed them," Penguins defenseman Hall Gill said. "Last year, we got outplayed pretty badly." The Penguins host the Red Wings in Game 3 on Tuesday in a must-win situation. History is definitely not on the side of the Penguins. A total of 32 teams have lost the first two Stanley Cup Finals games on the road and 31 of those teams ended up losing the series.

SBG Global reports that early Hockey betting has the public taking Penguins at Home.

Before this series began the Penguins were thought to have the edge on offense with Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin while Detroit had the edge on defense. It was thought that the goaltending would be pretty equal. So far the Penguins superstar duo has done nothing, Detroit’s defense has been great and Chris Osgood has totally outplayed Marc Andre Fleury. In fact, Osgood has probably been the best player in the series so far. He doesn’t think the series is over though. "They (Pittsburgh) were good last year, but they're making smarter plays than last year," Osgood said. "They've given us everything we can handle in two games. We're up 2-0, but I think we can play better."

Osgood has been simply fantastic in the Stanley Cup Finals throughout his career. He is now 10-2 with a 1.47 goals against average in the Finals.
"I think they're goalie was their best player," Pittsburgh forward Pascal Dupuis said.

Detroit is trying for their fifth Cup in 12 seasons and their 12th overall.
"They're a good team," Pittsburgh forward Chris Kunitz said. "They've shown that for the last 10, 12 years."

SBG Global Current Line: Penguins - 145 , Total 5.5 Flat

Here are the Hockey betting stats for Tuesday’s game. The Red Wings are 14-3 in their last 17 Stanley Cup Finals games. The Red Wings are 11-5 in their last 16 road games. The Red Wings are 0-4 in their last 4 games as a road underdog. The Red Wings are 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Pittsburgh.

The Penguins are 73-31 in their last 104 games as a favorite.

The Under is 7-1-2 in the Red Wings last 10 Stanley Cup Finals games. The Over is 5-1 in the Red Wings last 6 games as a road underdog. The Under is 8-2-2 in the last 12 meetings between the two teams.

MLB Betting Preview
Atlanta Braves at Arizona Diamondbacks
Saturday, 4:10 pm Eastern – Fox

The Atlanta Braves and Arizona Diamondbacks get the spotlight on Fox television on Saturday afternoon. Javier Vazquez gets the start for the Braves while Doug Davis takes the hill for Arizona. Vazquez is 4-4 on the season with a 3.80 ERA while Davis is 2-6 with a 3.77 ERA.

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

Vazquez has been up and down this season for the Braves, allowing five earned runs or more in three of his past six starts and two earned runs or less in the other three starts. The last time he faced Arizona he went seven innings and allowed just two earned runs in a no-decision.

Davis has pitched well this season but hasn’t been rewarded. He allowed just one run in his last start in seven innings against San Diego but the bullpen collapsed and he was denied a win.

The Diamondbacks have struggled this season in large part due to an anemic offense and the fact that Brandon Webb hasn’t pitched much. Webb is getting closer to returning though and he would be a welcome sight for the Diamondbacks. "He's inching back there, day-by-day," Arizona manager A.J. Hinch said, "Once we get him on the mound, we'll build his pitch count up, pitch him in a few [Minor League] games and hopefully we can activate him." Yusmeiro Petit, Bryan Augenstein and Billy Buckner have started in place of Webb this season. They have made nine starts and have a combined 6.80 ERA. Arizona is 2-7 in those games.

Here are the MLB Betting stats for Saturday’s game. Before Friday’s game the Braves were 0-5 in their last 5 vs. the National League West.

The Diamondbacks are 5-1 in their last 6 vs. the National League East. The Diamondbacks are 2-5 in their last 7 home games. The Diamondbacks are 1-5 in Davis' last 6 home starts. The Diamondbacks are 0-6 in Davis' last 6 starts vs. the National League East.

The Over is 6-0 in the Braves last 6 road games vs. a left-handed starter. The Over is 4-1 in the Diamondbacks last 5 home games. The Over is 4-1 in the Diamondbacks last 5 games vs. a right-handed starter. The Under is 7-0 in Davis' last 7 Saturday starts.

Stanley Cup Finals Preview

Stanley Cup Finals Preview
Pittsburgh Penguins at Detroit Red Wings (Game 1)
Saturday, 8:05 pm Eastern – NBC, CBC

SBG Global Opening Line: Red Wings - 165 , Total 6 Under - 130

For the first time since 1983-84 the Stanley Cup Finals feature a rematch as the Detroit Red Wings face the Pittsburgh Penguins. Detroit will try and repeat their success of last season and become the first team to repeat since 1997-98. It will not be easy for Detroit since Pittsburgh looks superior to last year as Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin have been dominant, combining for 26 goals and 30 assists in their 17 playoff games.

SBG Global reports that early Hockey betting has the public taking Penguins on the Road.

The Stanley Cup Finals could be high scoring with Detroit having the #1 offense in the NHL this season while the Penguins have the two leading scorers. The matchup in goal is the same as it was a year ago. Chris Osgood has better numbers in the playoffs than Marc-Andre Fleury but it is close.

There are two big keys for Detroit in this series. The first is their health. Niklas Lidstrom is expected to return for this series as is Pavel Datsyuk. For the Red Wings to win this series they will need both players at full strength. The second issue for the Red Wings is the schedule. The NHL is forcing the teams to play back-to-back games on Saturday and Sunday and that is not in the favor of Detroit. "We've got a short break, but hopefully we can manage to get some guys healthy, get guys back," said Wings goalie Chris Osgood.
Detroit will also have to find a way to contain Crosby and Malkin if they hope to win this series. "Crosby and Malkin are running away with the scoring lead in the playoffs and if we let them continue to run wild, it will be hard for us to win the series," Detroit General manager Ken Holland said, "You can't stop players that good, but we can't let them do what they did against Carolina."

Here are the Hockey betting stats for Saturday’s game. The Penguins are 4-0 in their last 4 road games. The Penguins are 28-10 in their last 38 overall. The Penguins are 4-10 in the last 14 meetings between the two teams.

SBG Global Current Line: Red Wings - 155 , Total 5.5 Over - 125

The Red Wings are 12-3 in their last 15 Stanley Cup Finals games. The Red Wings are 19-7 in their last 26 vs. the Atlantic.

The Over is 4-0 in the Penguins last 4 games as a road underdog. The Over is 6-2-1 in the Penguins last 9 vs. the Central. The Under is 5-1-2 in the Red Wings last 8 Stanley Cup Finals games. The Under is 6-2-2 in the last 10 meetings between the two teams.

NBA Playoff Preview
Cleveland Cavaliers at Orlando Magic (Magic lead 3-2)
Saturday, 8:35 pm Eastern – TNT

SBG Global Opening Line: Magic - 2 , Total 192

The Cleveland Cavaliers are not done yet. The Cavaliers got a monster game out of LeBron James and won Game 5 at home against the Orlando Magic and now they will try and even the series on Saturday. James had 37 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists while Mo Williams added 24 points in Cleveland’s 112-102 win on Thursday.

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

The game on Saturday should be exciting as the Magic look to close out the Cavaliers. Cleveland is trying to become just the ninth team since 1947 to win a best-of-seven series after trailing 3-1. "They deserved to get this one," Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said, "As poorly as I thought we played, we still were there with chances to win and didn't get it done. We have to get ready to go on Saturday."

The game on Saturday will come down to Orlando’s ability to keep James under control, something they have rarely done. "The game is basically all LeBron, all the time," Van Gundy said. "If he gets in the paint, it's automatically a foul. One of the things we have to do, we can't keep putting him on the line 20 times a game. We have to find a way to stop that."

Here are the NBA betting stats for Saturday’s game. The Cavaliers are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 Saturday games. The Cavaliers are 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 road games. The Cavaliers are 2-14 ATS in the last 16 meetings against Orlando and the Cavaliers are 0-5 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Orlando

SBG Global Current Line: Magic - 2 , Total 193

The Magic are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games. The Magic are 42-20-1 ATS in their last 63 Saturday games.

The Over is 7-1 in the Cavaliers last 8 Conference Finals games. The Under is 5-1 in the Cavaliers last 6 road games. The Under is 27-10 in Orlando’s last 37 games as a home favorite. The Over is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings between the two teams.

MLB Betting Preview
Cincinnati Reds (26-20) at Milwaukee Brewers (27-20)
Friday, 8:05 pm Eastern

SBG Global Opening Line: Reds - 117 , Total 8.5 Flat

An interesting three-game series in the National League Central begins on Friday night as the Milwaukee Brewers host the Cincinnati Reds. The Brewers have fallen to second place in the division while the Reds are right on their heels, just a half game back.

SBG Global reports that early MLB Betting has the public taking Reds on the Road.

The Brewers have struggled of late, mainly because they aren’t scoring any runs. Milwaukee lost Rickie Weeks for the season and J.J. Hardy and Ryan Braun have missed games this week. "There are absolutely no excuses when you go out and play - you go out and you lay it out there and your results are your results," manager Ken Macha said, "(But) our travel and sleep (and) rest situations over these last nine games have been difficult." Milwaukee is hitting just .204 in their past six games. It may not get any better on Friday against Johnny Cueto who is 4-2 with a 2.37 ERA this season. Last year Cueto was 1-0 with a 2.79 ERA in three starts against the Brewers.

The Reds won their last four games on their homestand and now they head out on the road. "We came in here and took care of business," said Cincinnati’s Jay Bruce, "We'll go on the road on a roll with some momentum. We plan on coming back (home) in first place." That could happen considering the Reds are 13-8 on the road this season. They will face Braden Looper on Friday. Looper is 4-3 with a 4.47 ERA this season for the Brewers.

Here are the MLB Betting stats for Friday’s game. The Reds are 4-0 in their last 4 overall. The Reds are 6-1 in their last 7 vs. the National League Central. The Reds are 4-0 in Cueto’s last 4 road starts. The Reds are 8-3 in the last 11 meetings in Milwaukee.

The Brewers are 18-6 in their last 24 games as a home favorite. The Brewers are 1-5 in their last 6 games vs. a right-handed starter. The Brewers are 4-1 in Looper’s last 5 home starts.

The Over is 7-1 in the Reds last 8 vs. the National League Central. The Under is 12-5-1 in the Reds last 18 road games. The Under is 11-2-1 in Cueto’s last 14 road starts.

SBG Global Current Line: Reds - 115 , Total 8.5 Flat

The Under is 4-1 in the Brewers last 5 overall. The Under is 10-4 in the Brewers last 14 home games. The Under is 4-1 in Looper’s last 5 starts as an underdog. The Over is 5-2-2 in the last 9 meetings in Milwaukee.

NBA Playoff Preview
Los Angeles Lakers at Denver Nuggets (Lakers lead 3-2)
Friday, 9:05 pm Eastern – ESPN

SBG Global Opening Line: Nuggets - 5 , Total 208

The Los Angeles Lakers will try and close out the Denver Nuggets in Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals on Friday. The Nuggets have outplayed the Lakers for the most part in this series but at critical times they have made mistakes and they trail three games to two. "For most of the series, we outplayed them for most stretches of the game," Denver’s Chauncey Billups said. "We just couldn't get over the hump in the fourth quarter in a few different situations."

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

The Nuggets have not played with much discipline in this series and it has cost them but head coach George Karl is not going to do anything different on Friday. "You guys are almost saying you've got to have savvy and poise to be a championship team," Karl told reporters, "I mean, you think the Detroit Pistons have the poise that the San Antonio Spurs have? No, I mean there's a different way of handling emotional, passionate, intense players. We have some guys who are emotional. Maybe a little too emotional. But for me, I'm not going to tell them to stop that because I think that stops them from becoming a competitor.”

The Lakers have been so unpredictable in the playoffs that anything is possible in Game 6. If Los Angeles brings their best game they could end this series but rarely have the Lakers played great in back-to-back games.
"That's what the conversation has been about this entire postseason, our team, our potential and our capabilities," Derek Fisher said.

Here are the NBA betting stats for Friday’s game. The Lakers are 21-8-2 ATS in their last 31 games as a road underdog. The Lakers are 12-5 ATS in the last 17 meetings between the two teams.

The Nuggets are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games as a home favorite. The Nuggets are 21-6 ATS in their last 27 games overall.

SBG Global Current Line: Nuggets - 5.5 , Total 208.5

The Under is 9-1 in the Lakers last 10 Conference Finals games. The Under is 11-4 in the Lakers last 15 road games.

The Over is 11-5 in the Nuggets last 16 games as a home favorite. The Under is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings in Denver between the two teams.

MLS Betting Preview - Chicago vs. Chivas USA

MLS Soccer Preview
Chicago (4-0-6) at Chivas USA (7-1-3)
Thursday, 10:30 pm Eastern – ESPN 2

A premier matchup is on tap for Thursday night in Los Angeles as the two conference leaders do battle in a prime time game on ESPN 2. The Fire are the last remaining unbeaten team in the Soccer Betting MLS while Chivas has just one loss on the season. The game will match Chicago’s league leading offense against Chivas’ league leading defense.

Chivas is a -220 favorite with a total of 2.5 at SBG Global.

Chivas leads the Western Conference with 24 points in 11 matches. They are eight points clear of second place Seattle. Chivas has played two consecutive draws after winning three straight matches.

The matchup on Thursday should be a good draw since there are a number of Mexican players on both teams. "It's an enticing game.” Chivas’ Eduardo Lillingston said, “These are two of the best teams in the league, each with some big-name players. [It's] going to be a great match."

The Fire have 18 points in their 10 matches to lead the Eastern Conference. They are two points ahead of D.C. United and Toronto FC. The Fire are unbeaten in their 10 matches including a 1-0 win at New York last Sunday.
"I'm excited we got three points on the road. Our guys got a goal and it was nice we could win a 1-0 game.” Coach Denis Hamlett said, “We had some big saves by our goalkeeper. All throughout the back group all the way up to the front guys, they did the extra stuff to make sure we got out of here with the three points.” Goaltender Jon Busch made a season-high 10 saves in the victory. "It's my time to step up. Each week, someone has to step up and today, I guess it was my day. My job is to make saves and catch crosses and I did my job. I don't think it was spectacular, it's my job. That's what I get paid to do, so I did it," Busch said.

The Fire are two games away from the Soccer Betting Galaxy’s record of 12 games without a loss to start the season set in 1996. "We don't talk about being undefeated," said Hamlett. "We just talk about just going out and doing things and improving from our last game to become better."

Chicago and Chivas have met eight times in history with Chivas getting four wins while Chicago has three. They have played to one draw. At Chivas, it is Chivas going 2-1-1 in the four meetings. Last year the teams split their two meetings, with each team winning on the road. Four of the last seven matches between the two teams have ended in 1-0 scores.

MLB Betting Preview - Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Chicago Cubs

MLB Betting Preview
Los Angeles Dodgers (33-15) at Chicago Cubs (23-22)
Thursday, 8:05 pm Eastern

SBG Global Opening Line: Cubs - 122 , Total TBA

The Los Angeles Dodgers will try and extend their winning streak to four games as they begin a series with the Chicago Cubs on Thursday. The Dodgers have the best record in baseball and haven’t missed a beat, even without Manny Ramirez in the lineup. Juan Pierre has taken Ramirez’s place and the Dodgers are scoring even more runs. Pierre is hitting .410 since taking over in left field. "He's shown us so much more production and so much more pop," manager Joe Torre said, "He was certainly ready for this when it presented itself."

SBG Global reports that early MLB Betting has the public taking Dodgers on the Road.

The Dodgers are very happy that Pierre has gotten the chance to play. "The thing you really respect about him more than anything is his work ethic. He's a good team person. Last year, I asked him to help with the younger players, and knowing that Matt Kemp was playing his position didn't keep him from going over and trying to help this young man. I think everybody's happy for him right now." Torre said.

The Cubs seemed to have righted the ship after losing eight straight as they won the last two games in their series against Pittsburgh. The Cubs made a number of moves on Wednesday, one of which paid off immediately. They called up Jake Fox, who was leading the Pacific Coast League in hitting and they also called up left-handed reliever Jason Waddell and infielder Andres Blanco on Wednesday as they sent Neal Cotts and Bobby Scales to Triple-A Iowa. Fox immediately came in on Wednesday and delivered a pinch hit RBI single. "He gives us a good bat coming off the bench, a power bat," Cubs manager Lou Piniella said. "We haven't had that. This gives us more firepower."

The Dodgers send Randy Wolf to the mound on Thursday. He is 2-1 with a 3.02 ERA this season. He is tied for the Major League lead with seven no-decisions this season.

Randy Wells gets the call for Chicago. He is 0-1 with a 1.50 ERA this season. Wells has done well in the rotation taking the place of Carlos Zambrano and now Rich Harden.

SBG Global Current Line: Cubs - 122 , Total TBA

Here are the MLB Betting stats for Thursday’s game. The Dodgers are 6-2 in their last 8 games vs. a right-handed starter. The Dodgers are 4-1 in Wolf’s last 5 starts. The Dodgers are 5-1 in the last 6 meetings between the two teams.

The Cubs are 17-8 in their last 25 games vs. a left-handed starter.

The Over is 4-1-1 in the Dodgers last 6 road games. The Under is 6-2 in the Cubs last 8 overall. The Over is 7-3-1 in the Cubs last 11 games vs. a left-handed starter.

NBA Betting Preview - Orlando Magic vs. Cleveland Cavaliers

NBA Playoff Preview
Orlando Magic at Cleveland Cavaliers (Magic lead 3-1)
Thursday, 8:35 pm Eastern – TNT

SBG Global Opening Line: Cavaliers - 7.5 , Total 190

The Orlando Magic are one win away from returning to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1994-95. The Magic will try and close out the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals. The Magic got an exciting 116-114 overtime win on Tuesday as Dwight Howard scored 27 points, 10 in overtime, to lead the Magic past LeBron James and the Cavaliers. "We're up 3-1, but we can't relax," Orlando’s Rashard Lewis said, "Anything can happen. We got to go to Cleveland looking to try and close these guys out." The Magic have already proven they can win on the road in the playoffs as they eliminated the Celtics in Game 7 in the last round and they nearly took both of the first two games in Cleveland in this series.

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

The Cavaliers are likely to be very inspired to extend the series on Thursday. Cleveland had the best home record in the NBA this season and it is unlikely that LeBron James will go quietly. He is averaging 42.3 points, 7.3 rebound and 7.3 assists in the series. "I'm up for the challenge," James said. "And I think my play, my leadership has spoke for that. So I will be ready, and I think our guys will be ready also."

The Magic are well aware that this series if far from over. "This thing is a long, long, long way from over, just like the games in this series have been," Orlando head coach Stan Van Gundy said, "When you've got a guy as great as him on the other side, you're a long way from done."

History is on Orlando’s side though. A total of 190 teams have taken a 3-1 series lead and only eight of them have lost. The other main problem for Cleveland is that they simply don’t matchup well with Orlando. The Magic have won 10 of the past 14 games against Cleveland.

Here are the NBA betting stats for Thursday’s game. The Magic are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 playoff games as an underdog. The Magic are 7-0 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Cleveland.

SBG Global Current Line: Cavaliers - 7.5 , Total 190

The Cavaliers are 14-4-1 ATS in their last 19 playoff games as a favorite. The Cavaliers are 36-16 ATS in their last 52 games as a home favorite.

The Under is 23-11 in Orlando’s last 34 overall. The Over is 6-1 in the Cavaliers last 7 Conference Finals games. The Under is 14-6-1 in the Cavaliers last 21 games as a home favorite. The Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between the two teams.

SBG Global Opening Line: Indians - 110 , Total 9.5 Flat





David Price will make his season debut for the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday as he gets the start in Cleveland. Price was great last year in the AL Championship Series against Boston but upper management still believed he needed to start this season in Triple A. "He's a unique young man, and he thrives under this kind of situation," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "I know he definitely feels like he belongs here, and those are the kind of things you want."

SBG Global reports that early MLB Betting has the public taking Rays on the Road.

Tampa Bay has had all kinds of trouble in Cleveland recently, losing their last 13 games there. That streak should end though as Tampa has the better team as they proved earlier this year when they took three of four from the Indians in Tampa Bay.

Fausto Carmona gets the start for the Indians on Monday. Carmona is 2-4 with a 5.74 ERA this season. He is 2-1 with a 5.51 ERA in his career against Tampa Bay.

The Indians come off a 4-6 road trip so they should be happy to get home.
"The bullpen's done a good job lately," Cleveland manager Eric Wedge said. "The difference in this game (Sunday’s loss) was not getting the big hit."

Here are the MLB Betting stats for Monday’s game. The Rays are 4-0 in their last 4 games vs. a right-handed starter. The Rays are 2-6 in their last 8 games as a road favorite. The Rays are 11-28 in the last 39 meetings in Cleveland.

The Indians are 2-5 in their last 7 home games. The Indians are 1-4 in their last 5 vs. the American League East. The Indians are 13-6 in Carmona’s last 19 starts vs. the American League East.

The Over is 4-0 in the Rays last 4 overall. The Over is 4-1 in the Rays last 5 vs. the American League Central.

SBG Global Current Line: Indians - 110 , Total 9.5 Over - 120

The Over is 5-1 in the Indians last 6 games vs. a left-handed starter. The Over is 16-5 in the Indians last 21 vs. the American League East. The Over is 14-3 in Carmona’s last 17 starts as a favorite. The Under is 11-4-1 in the last 16 meetings in Cleveland between the two teams.

Los Angeles Lakers at Denver Nuggets (Lakers lead 2-1)

NBA Playoff Preview
Los Angeles Lakers at Denver Nuggets (Lakers lead 2-1)
Monday, 9:05 pm Eastern – ESPN










SBG Global Opening Line: Nuggets - 4.5 , Total 209.5

The Denver Nuggets suddenly face a must-win game on Monday night as they host the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals. The Nuggets were surprised at home in Game 3 as the Lakers won 103-97 to take a 2-1 series lead. It was the first loss at home in more than two months for Denver.

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

The Nuggets shot the ball poorly in Game 3 and shot way too many 3-pointers. "We'd go up seven, eight points and trying to get the building to erupt," Denver’s Kenyon Martin said. "We've done that so much during the season and throughout the playoffs. So, we figured that's the way it was going to be. And it's not always going to be that way. You've got to grind it out sometimes, take the tough two or get to the line and score points that way." The Nuggets left the Lakers in the game and Kobe Bryant took over late to win the game for Los Angeles. "I think we got caught up in the emotion of the moment of a great crowd, a great challenge," Nuggets coach George Karl said. "I think we tried to hit too many home runs rather than just take a single here, a double here and win the game that way. We tried to hit too many bombs.”

The mistakes that the Nuggets made cost them home court advantage which they had gained by winning Game 2 in Los Angeles. Now they must win on Monday to have any kind of chance to win this series.
The Lakers realize they were fortunate to win on Saturday and know they must play better. "We've got to come out with more focus, more energy and really just execute a lot better in the defensive end of the floor," said Bryant.

Here are the NBA betting stats for Monday’s game. The Lakers are 21-7-2 ATS in their last 30 games as a road underdog. The Lakers are 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Denver.

The Nuggets are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 home games. The Nuggets are 20-7 ATS in their last 27 games overall.

SBG Global Current Line: Nuggets - 4.5 , Total 208.5

The Under is 6-0 in the Lakers last 6 vs. the Northwest. The Under is 8-0 in the Lakers last 8 Conference Finals games. The Under is 5-1 in the Lakers last 6 road games. The Under is 6-0 in the last 6 meetings in Denver between the two teams.

SBG Global Opening Line: Nuggets - 3.5 , Total 211

The Denver Nuggets finally found a way to beat the Los Angeles Lakers in the playoffs as they took Game 2 by a score of 106-103 on Thursday. Now they will try and take control of the Western Conference Finals as the series moves to Denver for Game 3 on Saturday.

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

The Nuggets got 34 points from Carmelo Anthony and 27 points from Chauncey Billups in Game 2. Now the Nuggets get to go home where they have not lost since early March. Getting the win on Thursday was huge for Denver since they now have the home court edge. "There was just a demand that we had to win this game," head coach George Karl said. "There was an inner spirit. We're a much more smart, mentally tough team than you look at last year and what we are now. It's a great win."

The Lakers dropped to 7-2 at home in the playoffs and now they will have to find a way to win on the road. "They have home court advantage now. Now it's time to go to Denver, see if we can do the same," the Lakers Kobe Bryant said, "We're not the best road team in the NBA for no reason." (The Lakers were 29-12 on the road during the regular season.)

Here are the NBA betting stats for Saturday’s game. The Lakers are 20-7-2 ATS in their last 29 games as a road underdog. The Lakers are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 Conference Finals games. The Lakers are 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings between the two teams.

The Nuggets are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games as a home favorite. The Nuggets are 22-6 ATS in their last 28 games overall.

SBG Global Current Line: Nuggets - 3.5 , Total 211

The Under is 7-0 in the Lakers last 7 Conference Finals games. The Under is 4-1 in the Lakers last 5 road games. The Under is 27-11 in the Lakers last 38 overall.

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








An intriguing Interleague matchup takes place on Saturday afternoon in New York as the Yankees host the Philadelphia Phillies. The pitching matchup on Saturday has J.A. Happ going for the Phillies while the Yankees counter with Andy Pettitte.

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

Happ is 2-0 on the season with a 2.49 ERA while Pettitte is 4-1 with a 4.18 ERA. This is Happ’s first start of the season as he replaces Chan Ho Park in the Phillies rotation.

Pettite has picked up four wins this season and usually keeps the Yankees in the game. He gave up four runs in his last outing against the Twins but picked up the victory.

The Yankees have been a very successful team in Interleague play going 123-87 before Friday’s game. The Phillies have not had as much success going 90-109. Last year the Phillies were just 4-11 in Interleague play. The Yankees were 10-8 against the Phillies all-time before the series began on Friday, not including the 1950 World Series. Philadelphia has not played in New York since 2000. "Going to New York is always something special," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "The old Yankee Stadium definitely had a real feel to it. I'm sure this one will have a good feel. They're hitting a lot of home runs there. Hopefully we can tee off on some."

Cole Hamels will be the starter on Sunday and he would have preferred to pitch in the old Yankee Stadium. "It will be nice to see the nice, new stadium," said Hamels, "Kind of see what they have. But I wish I would have been able to pitch in the old Yankee Stadium."

Here are the MLB Betting stats for Saturday’s game. The Phillies are 6-1 in their last 7 road games vs. a left-handed starter. The Phillies are 4-1 in their last 5 Interleague games. The Phillies are 23-9 in their last 32 road games.

The Yankees are 54-20 in their last 74 interleague home games. The Yankees are 7-2 in Pettitte’s last 9 starts.

The Over is 4-1 in the Phillies last 5 games vs. a left-handed starter. The Under is 11-4-2 in the Yankees last 17 home games vs. a left-handed starter. The Over is 5-2-1 in Pettitte’s last 8 home starts.
