MLB Odds – Friday Baseball Picks
The bigger Wimbledon betting matchups are on the horizon but, before we get there, there are some great baseball games to bet on this weekend. Let’s have a look at some key Friday contests.
Friday, June 26, 4:05 p.m. ET
Cubs @ White Sox
Randy Wells (1-3, 2.57) vs Jose Contreras (2-6, 5.23)
The south side of Chicago hosts the north Friday afternoon in what should be among the most popular baseball lines picked. Since returning from a minor-league stint, Jose Contreras has pitched well, but things should change Friday. There’s a freight train headed his way named Alfonso Soriano. The Cubs slugger has slumped seemingly all season but loves facing Contreras; he hits .625 with three homers in just eight career at-bat versus Contreras, so that’s bad news for White Sox fans.
Don’t let Randy Wells’ 1-3 record fool you; he’s been rock-solid this season, especially on the road (2.10 ERA), and he does a great job keeping the ball in the park (two homers allowed in 49 innings). He’ll get the better of the White Sox.
MLB betting pick: Cubs
Friday, June 26,
Giants @ Brewers
Matt Cain (9-1, 2.28) vs Yovani Gallardo (7-4, 3.00)
What a different a little run support makes! Matt Cain picks up the “W” almost every time he takes the mound in 2009 after years of hard-luck losing. Allowing one or fewer runs in six of his last seven starts, he’s as hot as pitchers get. He’s undefeated on the road this season but was bombed in his only career start at
Looking at counterpart and fellow ace Yovani Gallardo with your sportsbook software may help. While he has a poor track record against the Giants, he’s a monster at home in his career (8-4, 2.63 ERA, 107 K in 102 IP). The Giants’ Achilles heel is their offense whereas the Brewers strength is their offense, and Cain is susceptible to the long ball, so I like the Brewers to edge San Fran.

Last Minute NBA Draft Projections Versus the Vegas Draft Odds

BetED has probably the best betting lines of any the recommended sportsbooks as NBA draftnicks can wager on how many players will be taken in the first round from the Big East, Pac 10, and ACC, not to mention the number of international players taken in the first round.
Who will draft Ricky Rubio? According to NBAdraft.net he’s going to
Most projections see Hasheem Thabett going second, but if he’s leapfrogged by James Harden BetED will pay a hefty +255.
Will Stephen Curry or Jonny Flynn be drafted first? Curry is -230.
In fact there are betting propositions on just about every player likely to get drafted in the first round: Tyler Hansbrough, Chase Budinger, Wayne Ellington, DuJuan Summers, Brandon Jennings, Jrue Holiday and more.
The sportsbook actually has Ricky Rubio projected to get drafted third, so James Harden at +190 is a sensational bet according to the NBA draft projections.
Bodog is also expected to post similar odds by 6:00 EST.
NBA Draft Betting: Blake Griffin the Only Sure Thing
The NBA draft highlights Thursday night’s sports viewing and betting rundown.
After the one sure bet of Thursday’s NBA draft, Oklahoma’s Blake Griffin going to the Los Angeles Clippers with the No. 1 pick, things continue to look unsettled.
As far as knowing which teams are going to take which players, it is one of the more screwy drafts in years.
Most years media and fans can at least nail down all but two or three of the lottery picks. Not this year.
The Memphis Grizzlies are still keeping it quiet whether they are going to take
Could it be that the Grizzlies are trying to dupe the media and actually want
Once that is decided. It will have a trickle-down effect through the remainder of the lottery.

n what is being called the making of yet another dynamic duo — think Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, Magic Johnson and Kareem Addul-Jabbar — Shaquille O’Neal has reportedly been traded to the Cleveland Caveliers, where he’ll partner up with MVP LeBron James.
