Let’s see what our experts have to say about this weekend’s sports betting menu.
MLB: If trends are your friend, then Steve Makinen should be the best friend forever. Steve posted a key angle for every weekend series. He also put together a cheat sheet with situational trends for every team (e.g., day/night, vs. righty/lefty). Greg Peterson has his picks for today’s menu. Steve and Josh Appelbaum will file their daily contributions later this morning.
ICYMI: Athletics rookie Nick Kurtz went 6-for-6 with four home runs as Oakland defeated the Astros 15-3 Friday night. Was it the best game for a hitter in baseball history? (Qualifier: the fourth homer was against a position player mopping up.) Kurtz is -2200 to win AL Rookie of the Year, so that door is closed.
UFC: Lou Finocchiaro has picks for today’s card in Abu Dhabi. Don’t forget the early start (noon ET for prelims). Britton Hess will have his Best Bets first thing in the AM.
Horse Racing: Sovereignty is the heavy favorite (2/5) in today’s Jim Dandy Stakes at Saratoga. Adam Burke previews the race. Ed Sehon has picks for the Saratoga card. The VSiN At The Track podcast has Saratoga and Del Mar Best Bets from Mike Somich and Aaron Halterman. >>Watch. >>Listen. Horse racing coverage is sponsored by 1/ST BET. Get your $200 sign-up bonus.
WNBA: Check later this morning for Makinen’s estimated scores based on his power ratings.
Tennis: The DC Open schedule was jammed up because of weather, so Zach’s picks may not happen until mid-morning.
NASCAR: Adam previews Sunday’s Brickyard 400. Steve has done his initial race simulation and will update it after qualifying.
NFL: Training camp is in full swing, so you might want to peruse our NFL page.
