Lakers-Magic Game 4 Vegas Odds
In Game 3 of the NBA Finals on Tuesday night, Kobe Bryant, who looked tired and mortal, gave new life to the Orlando Magic, who shot a Finals record 63 percent in a 108-104 win over the Los Angeles Lakers. That snapped an 0-for-6 franchise mark in the Finals for Orlando. Bet at Bodog.
Is it a sign of things to come? Bryant and the Lakers have been bouncing back since the start of the postseason. In the pursuit of a 15th NBA crown they are 6-0 after a playoff loss. They can regain control of the best-of-seven series, but they’d better be careful not to give Orlando any more momentum.
As the Magic showed in Game 3, all you need is a hot night of shooting. During one stretch in the opening half, Orlando made a remarkable 21 of 24 shots.
Can the 2-point favorites at Bodog Magic do it again or will the real Kobe Bryant return and close out Game 4?
Mets-Phillies Odds and Betting Line Preview
While Jimmy Rollins continues to struggle, Chase Utley looks to continue his power surge at Citi Field as the Philadelphia Phillies play the decisive game of a three-game set with the New York Mets tonight with the MLB odds saying the Mets are -105 with a total of 9.5.
Utley belted two homers Wednesday night, one of which led off the 11th inning as the Phillies went on to beat the Mets 5-4. He had a solo homer the previous evening in the series opener as Philadelphia lost 6-5.
All three of Utley’s homers in this series have been hit into the right-field corner. He didn’t homer in his last 15 games at Shea Stadium, where the Mets used to play.
Philadelphia may need a big effort from its lineup with Jamie Moyer facing New York. Moyer is 0-1 with a 13.50 ERA in two starts versus the Mets this season.
Tim Redding will take the mound in this series finale for the Mets. Bet at Bodog now.
NHL Betting – Stanley Cup Game 7 Pick
The pinnacle of Stanley Cup betting is here—Game 7 of the Red Wings Penguins odds. It doesn’t get any better than one game to decide it all. Do you go with the favorite or swing for the fences and pick the underdog Pens on the road?
Stanley Cup Final odds – Game 7 Friday, June 12 at 8:00 p.m. ET
NHL betting lines: Penguins +160, Red Wings -190
We know what we’ll get from the Red Wings at the sportsbook in Game 7: a steady, defensively sound effort from a team looking for its fifth Stanley Cup in 13 years. To beat
The Penguins’ blueline has also been a Jekyll-and-Hyde story in this Stanley Cup betting series. They’ve been physical, well-positioned and disciplined at home, also blocking shots like crazy, but on the road they’ve been tentative and a bit lazy, resulting in dumb penalties. Anyone who likes to bet on sports knows what happens when you take too many penalties against the Red Wings, so the Pens have to stay out of the box.
It’s been a great run for the Pens, but they needed to win this series in six games at home. Home-ice advantage exists for a reason—to give the team that earned it the edge in a deciding game. Home teams are 12-2 in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup, and the Wings will extend that record to 13-2.
