NL East Betting Preview - Baseball

The Atlanta Braves cruised to an NL East title in 2013 and then fizzled out in the playoffs (what else is new?). In 2014, things will be a bit more competitive for the Braves. The 2012 NL East champion Washington Nationals appear poised to give the Braves a run for their money. Does anyone else in the division have a shot to compete with these teams? Let's take a look at each team in the NL East...

Arizona vs. S.D. State Free Pick

Defense typically wins championships is the old adage, but this is a contest where it's going to be the offense that rules the day. San Diego State might have one of the better defensive units in the country, but there is zero chance they'll be able to score enough to keep up with Arizona tonight. The Wildcats looked dominant in their first two games last week and some are even arguing tha...

UCLA vs. Florida Free Pick

Two historic programs meet in this game for the right to move onto the Elite Eight and it should be a great game the entire way. #1 Florida has the scoring to matchup well with the Bruins and their better defense should be able to help them get the job done. But this will be no easy victory for the Gators SHOULD they escape with a victory because UCLA has found their swagger again and want...

Free Pick NBA Heat vs. Pacers

Line: Miami +1 @ Indiana -1 When the two best teams in the weak Eastern Conference meet, it's always an event because the likelihood that Miami and Indiana meet up in the Conference Finals again is very strong. Both teams are head and shoulders above the rest of the conference and have too much talent and skill not to face one another for the right to play in the NBA Finals. Home court...

NBA Indiana at Chicago Free Pick

The Bulls get another shot at Indiana tonight after the Pacers beat them 91-79 on Friday night and you'd better believe they will be ready for the challenge. But Indiana won't stand idly by and be satisfied with a split in this spot as they did a lot of great things in that game on Friday and I we should see more of that tonight. For one, both teams are great defensively, but the fact that ...

The regular season is over and conference tournaments are in progress and it's one conference - the West Coast - that's got my full attention tonight. It's the semi-finals of their tournament and with no team in this conference a lock to make the NCAA tournament, we may only see the winner of this conference tournament in the Madness. Game #1: St Mary's vs. Gonzaga (-7) Of all the te...

Thursday NBA on TNT Betting

Game: Miami @ San Antonio (-2); Total: 209.5 This is the second time these two have met since last year's thrilling seven-game NBA Finals series and Miami proved their title was no fluke with a 113-101 home win earlier this year. But the Spurs were without Kawhi Leonard in that one and while most will argue that it's the Big Three that make San Antonio go (Duncan, Parker, Ginobili), Le...
