NBA

Minnesota Timberwolves @ Los Angeles Lakers: Los Angeles Lakers (to win) /// 2.30

Last bet lost. What can I say? It was incredible drama for Milwaukee and their fans when Pete Alonso hit a home run in the 9th inning against a very reliable back-up pitcher Devin Williams (his ERA before the game against Mets was “1.25” this season and he only got 1 home run in 21.2 innings). The broadcast commentators called it a “fairy tale” for the Mets. Yes, it was an unbelievable comeback. It doesn't hurt to lose money in games like that. It would be more frustrating not to see this amazing game! My betting score is NBA 94-110 in favor of unsuccessful, MLB 92-87 in favor of successful, NHL 2-5 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL+NCAAF 3-9 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: Los Angeles Lakers will beat Minnesota Timberwolves in a preseason game. Yes, there's a pause in MLB before the Playoffs start, so I have no choice today (yes, there aren't even any NFL games) but to bet on a preseason game in the NBA. But I'm glad, actually, as I really missed the NBA, despite my failed last season of predictions. The Lakers kept their entire starting roster and have a very promising coach JJ Redick joining the team. Both LeBron James and Anthony Davis will play in preseason games. As for the Timberwolves, Karl-Anthony Towns left the team to the Knicks, and Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo moved from New York to Minnesota. The trade is a great one for Minnesota, actually. There's also Rudy Gobert as a center and “The Ant” at the shooting guard position. Donte DiVincenzo and Julius Randle will close out the small forward and power forward positions. And Mike Conley as a point guard. Long term, I believe Minnesota will have an equally successful season. Yes, maybe not a top-2 team in the West (as they were last year), but they will definitely be in the top-4. But right now, this is a team that will play for the first time after a serious rotation in the starting five. And the atmosphere at the Lakers' training camp was the most positive and joyful according to one famous American basketball insider. Therefore, Minnesota is obviously not a favorite in this game. The real odds for a Lakers win in this game should be “1.60-1.65”. Bet? Sure!

Kansas City Royals @ New York Yankees: New York Yankees (to win) /// 1.44

Last bet lost. Yes, it's a preseason game where only physical therapists didn't play for both teams. Julius Randle and Anthony Edwards did not play for Minnesota, and LeBron James and Anthony Davis did not play for the Lakers. I think everything is fair enough. And here we have to admit that the Timberwolves' half reserves played better. Yes, the Lakers struggled, were able to establish their game and were down by 1 point to Minnesota in the 3rd quarter. And it would seem that Los Angeles' half reserve would be able to beat the Timberwolves' reserve in the 4th quarter. But then the Lakers turned out G-League level players in the 4th quarter and completely failed the rest of the game. My betting score is NBA 94-111 in favor of unsuccessful, MLB 92-87 in favor of successful, NHL 2-5 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL+NCAAF 3-9 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: New York Yankees at home will beat Kansas City Royals in the 1st game of the series. The Yankees have won 5 games out of 7 against the Royals in the regular season. Kansas City will have Michael Wacha as a starting pitcher (his ERA this season is "3.35") and New York will have Gerrit Cole as a starting pitcher (his ERA this season is "3.41"). I think it's obvious that there are no weak pitchers in the Playoffs, and this game is no exception. Gerrit Cole has played 8 games as a starting pitcher against the Royals and his teams have won 6 of them (the Yankees have won 3 out of 4 games when Gerrit Cole was the starting pitcher). Gerrit Cole's stats in games against Kansas City are very solid: he covers an average 6.50 innings per game, in which he gets an average 2.25 runs per game. He also has 0.74 hits, 1.25 strikeouts and 0.22 walks per 1 inning on average in games against the Royals. Michael Wacha has played 9 games against the Yankees as a starting pitcher and his teams have only won in 3 games. Michael Wacha's stats in games against the Yankees: he covers an average 5.78 innings per game, in which he gets an average 1.89 runs. Also very solid! But New York will certainly have the home field advantage. In only 3 of their last 15 games Kansas City Royals have won on the road against New York Yankees. I think that's a key argument. You want to bet? Sure!

MLB

San Diego Padres @ Los Angeles Dodgers: San Diego Padres (to win) /// 2.20

Last bet won. Yes, it wasn't easy, yes Kansas City had some chances, but the Yankees won. I've seen a lot of similar games where New York has won quite often with a 1-run difference in the regular season. The same thing happened in the 1st game of the series. I was also surprised that Aaron Judge and Bobby Witt Jr. played so badly. My betting score is NBA 94-111 in favor of unsuccessful, MLB 93-87 in favor of successful, NHL 2-5 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL+NCAAF 3-9 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: San Diego Padres on the road will beat Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2nd game of the series. San Diego is too great team this season to give up both games in the Playoffs. Also despite the Dodgers have won their last 3 games against the Padres, the score in the last 15 games between them is 9-6 in favor of San Diego. The starting pitchers in the 2nd game of the series will be Yu Darvish (his ERA this season is “3.31”) for the Padres and Jack Flaherty (his ERA this season is “3.17”) for the Dodgers. Yu Darvish is very reliable in games against the Dodgers: 15 games in his career, covers an average 6.09 innings per game, in which he gets an average 1.67 runs. He also has 0.60 hits, 1.14 strikeouts and 0.27 walks per 1 inning on average. Jack Flaherty has played 6 games in his career against San Diego: covers an average 5.06 innings per game in which he gets an average 2.50 runs. He also has 0.83 hits, 1.09 strikeouts and 0.60 walks per 1 inning on average. Moreover, the last 3 games against the Padres Jack Flaherty has failed, getting 13 runs in 14 innings. I think the bookies are really underestimating San Diego in the 2nd game of the series. Bet? Absolutely!

Detroit Tigers @ Cleveland Guardians: Cleveland Guardians (to win) /// 2.10

Last bet won. San Diego destroyed Los Angeles. Like I said, the bookies underestimated the Padres, but the team had only 5 less wins than the Dodgers in the regular season. The starting pitchers played exactly as I expected: Yu Darvish played very solidly and reliably (3 hits and 1 run in 7 innings), while Jack Flaherty failed again (5 hits and 4 runs in 5.1 innings). My betting score is NBA 94-111 in favor of unsuccessful, MLB 94-87 in favor of successful, NHL 2-5 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL+NCAAF 3-9 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: Cleveland Guardians at home will beat Detroit Tigers in the 2nd game of the series. Traditionally, this season Tigers are favorites only in 2 cases: they play against teams of the level of Chicago White Sox or Miami Marlins or the starting pitcher is Tarik Skubal. But this is not the regular season! Cleveland has a full roster, almost without injuries, also key offensive players Steven Kwan and Jose Ramirez are in great shape. What does Detroit have? Only Tarik Skubal. By the way, I can't say that Tarik Skubal is playing very reliably against Cleveland. He has played 8 games in his career against the Guardians: covers an average 5.21 innings per game, in which he gets an average 2.61 runs. He is also has 0.97 hits, 1.06 strikeouts, and 0.24 walks per 1 inning on average. Honestly, I'm not impressed with Tarik Skubal's stats in games against Cleveland. Tarik Skubal got 10 hits in 7 innings in his last game against Guardians and just by some incredible reasons those 10 hits only converted into 1 run. Well the Cleveland Guardians are the American League's strongest team in home games. In the 1st game of the series Detroit lost 7-0 without a chance. Why should anything be changed in the 2nd game of the series? Cleveland Guardians are the favorites in this game and I even believe that they will be able to sweep this series. You want to bet? Sure!

Philadelphia Phillies @ New York Mets: New York Mets (to win) /// 1.91

Last bet lost. Detroit failed to score a single run over the first 7 innings when Tarik Skubal was giving a tangible difference. And incredible defense from Steven Kwan in the 8th inning seemed like it should have boosted the Guardians in 2 innings against back-up pitchers. But what happened in the 9th inning is like a scary bedtime story you could tell your kids. Yes, Cleveland was only 1 out short of getting no runs in the 9th inning as well. And after all, Guardians back-up pitcher Emmanuel Clase is a top back-up pitcher who only got 2 home runs in 74.1 innings in the regular season. But Kerry Carpenter just destroyed my prediction and my hopes of success. Yes, an incredible home run! I was sitting with my mouth open for another 5 minutes as I didn't realize what was happening. It's called “bad luck”! Detroit deserved to win, but Cleveland did everything they could in this game. My betting score is NBA 94-111 in favor of unsuccessful, MLB 94-88 in favor of successful, NHL 2-5 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL+NCAAF 3-9 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: New York Mets at home will beat Philadelphia Phillies in the 3rd game of the series. New York Mets have played 5 games this Postseason and all of those games have been on the road. But the Mets are first and foremost a home team! And we all remember that home series in New York in the end of September when Philadelphia lost 3-1. Aaron Nola will play as the Phillies' starting pitcher and Sean Manaea will play as the Mets' starting pitcher. Aaron Nola has a record of 2 wins and 8 losses in his last 10 games against the Mets (and he failed in 5 of those games). Sean Manaea is having his best season of his career. And it is largely due to his solid play New York is playing in the Postseason right now. I expect a solid win from the Mets. It even makes sense to bet that New York will win by 2 runs or more, but it's a Playoff game, so let's bet on any Mets win. Especially since the odds for New York at home are pretty solid. Bet? Sure!

MLB

Philadelphia Phillies @ New York Mets: New York Mets (to win) /// 1.91

Last bet won. Philadelphia has been destroyed! Absolutely ruthless! New York at the score of 6-0 completely relaxed, after which the Phillies were able to play a little bit in the offense and even scored 2 runs. But it happened in the 8th inning, and the Mets ended this game fairly safely after replacing the back-up pitcher. My betting score is NBA 94-111 in favor of unsuccessful, MLB 95-88 in favor of successful, NHL 2-5 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL+NCAAF 3-9 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: New York Mets at home will beat Philadelphia Phillies in the 4th game of the series. Strange to see the Mets as an underdog again according to the bookies. And this is despite the fact that for Philadelphia will play a more unreliable starting pitcher than Aaron Nola. Yes, I'm talking about Ranger Suarez, who has completely failed in July (his ERA this month was “6.61”), August (his ERA this month was “5.00”) and September (his ERA this month was “6.04”). Over that period he played 10 games and failed in 8, getting an average 1 run in 1.49 innings. Meanwhile, Ranger Suarez was able to cover more than 5 innings only in a game against Oakland Athletics, but also got 4 runs. And Ranger Suarez ended the regular season with a game against Washington, where he got 7 hits and 6 runs in 2 innings. Jose Quintana will be the starting pitcher for New York. This is the same pitching machine who covered 6 innings and got 0 runs in the 3rd game of the series against Milwaukee (yes, in that game when Pete Alonso hit a home run in the 9th inning). Jose Quintana had an incredible September, in which he finished with an ERA “0.72” (and he has played against Philadelphia this month and got 3 hits and 0 runs in 7 innings)! Jose Quintana also has a current streak of 4 straight wins in recent games against Philadelphia. The 4th game of the series is basically the only real chance for the Mets to win this series against the Phillies, because if they lose, Philadelphia will have their most reliable starting pitcher - Zack Wheeler (his ERA this season is “2.57”) in the 5th game of the series. That's a completely different level. I don't know, maybe the bookies will make lower odds on the Mets win in the 4th game of the series, as expecting from Ranger Suarez 6-7 innings and at least 1-2 runs is very brave. And Philadelphia's offense plays with very low efficiency, especially in road games. And yes, it was already clear in the second half of the regular season that the Phillies are, once again, not a Postseason contender. Bet? Sure!

Cleveland Guardians @ Detroit Tigers: Cleveland Guardians (to win) /// 1.73

Last bet won. Well, I'll be honest, I'm not a Mets fan, but I was rooting for them in this series like I've been supporting them for 10 years! But I actually don't have a favorite team in MLB. Francisco Lindor's grand slam was the logical ending of the Postseason for Philadelphia. But let's be honest, New York should have closed this game out earlier with all the bases loaded in the 1st and 2nd innings. Total domination by the Mets in both home games in this series. My betting score is NBA 94-111 in favor of unsuccessful, MLB 96-88 in favor of successful, NHL 2-5 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL+NCAAF 3-9 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: Cleveland Guardians on the road will beat Detroit Tigers in the 4th game of the series. I've been waiting all day today to be informed about Detroit's starting pitcher. But at this moment there's no information. But I think if Tarik Skubal was announced for the 4th game of the series, it would have been known by now. Cleveland will have Tanner Bibee as their starting pitcher (his ERA this season is “3.47”). This is their best starting pitcher who played in the 1st game of the series. Cleveland destroyed Detroit 7-0 in that game, and Tanner Bibee got 4 hits, 0 runs and had 6 strikeouts and 1 walk in 4.2 innings. Yeah, that's pretty solid. I wish Tanner Bibee had covered more innings, but in that game the score was already 5-0 in favor of the Guardians when he was replaced by back-up pitchers. Tanner Bibee covered an average 5.61 innings per game in the regular season, so in the 4th game of the series against Detroit we can expect some stability on defense in the first 5-6 innings. And I don't believe Detroit will close out the series against Cleveland so easily. Bet? Absolutely!

San Diego Padres @ Los Angeles Dodgers: San Diego Padres (to win) /// 2.20

Last bet won. And that's the 3rd winning bet in a row! By the way, before the game started, I saw a boost odds of “11.00” that Jose Ramirez would hit a home run and Cleveland would win. Unfortunately, I didn't have the bravery to bet even 1$ on that event. Anyway, Cleveland won, but in the 5th game of the series Tarik Skubal will play for Detroit and it will be a very tough game. My betting score is NBA 94-111 in favor of unsuccessful, MLB 97-88 in favor of successful, NHL 2-5 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL+NCAAF 3-9 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: San Diego Padres on the road will beat Los Angeles Dodgers in the 5th game of the series. It's time! Yes, an incredibly interesting series will come to an end today in the crucial 5th game. Unfortunately Los Angeles Dodgers decided to take a risk and field a starting pitcher for this game, who is playing his 1st year in MLB. Yoshinobu Yamamoto! That's the starting pitcher who played in the 1st game of the series but completely failed: 5 hits and 5 runs in 3 innings, 2 walks and only 1 strikeout. Yes, San Diego's offense simply destroyed Yoshinobu Yamamoto! San Diego will have Yu Darvish as their starting pitcher. He played in the 2nd game of the series and covered 7 innings, getting only 3 hits and 1 run. It's too obvious! And no, I don't believe in miracles! San Diego is a clear favorite in the 5th game of the series. You want to bet? Absolutely!

Memphis Grizzlies @ Chicago Bulls: Chicago Bulls (- 2.5) /// 1.83

Last bet lost. Unfortunately, San Diego Padres couldn't mentally recover from the 0-8 score in the 4th game of the series and lost in the 5th game of the series as well without any morale. Only 2 hits in the entire game! The point is that the Dodgers also played very poor offensively. They will have a very difficult road to the World Series against the Mets. My betting score is NBA 94-111 in favor of unsuccessful, MLB 97-89 in favor of successful, NHL 2-5 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL+NCAAF 3-9 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: Chicago Bulls on the road will beat Memphis Grizzlies by 3 points or more in a preseason game. Lonzo Ball is highly likely to be back after a long injury to the Chicago Bulls roster! For Memphis traditionally will not play many key players: Ja Morant, Vince Williams Jr., Jaren Jackson Jr., GG Jackson II and Brandon Clarke is questionable. Chicago has almost everyone healthy (only Coby White and Talen Horton-Tucker are questionable). Memphis was destroyed in the game against Charlotte without any chances at all. Yes, it is interesting to watch the 9th pick of 1st round, center Zach Edey, but he is not ready to play in the NBA at this moment. Yes, talented, but this is not Victor Wembanyama, who can be a leader in his 1st season. All in all Memphis' roster is chaos at the moment. Well, Chicago is letting their leaders play more than 20 minutes in preseason games, and yes, it will definitely give the opportunity to win the game against Memphis. Bet? Sure!

Oh yeah if I was a serious sports bettor I'd wait a week or 2 to see where things sort out and who's starts hot and cold. But I just typically make a Saturday-Sunday 6-7 game/event parley just make the games a bit more exciting and fun to watch. Hockey really isn't that great for sports betting. Usually don't win often but have hit a few times over the season so likely only down small amount longer term.

New York Mets @ Los Angeles Dodgers: New York Mets (to win) /// 2.25

Last bet lost. Chicago unbelievably lost to Memphis, while the Bulls were winning by 21 points in the 3rd quarter! Honestly, when I watched this game, I had no doubts that Chicago would win, so powerful and very easy they got a solid lead. What happened then? Memphis started playing on defense! In a preseason game! Chicago continued to play in the 4th quarter in practice mode. Yes, the Bulls had a chance in the clutch, but that's how it happens most of the time when the team (that was able to make a comeback during the game) wins the whole game in the end. The new NBA season hasn't started yet, and I already have 2 losing predictions and no winning predictions. It's certainly bad, but I'll improve my performance in the regular season. My goal for the 2nd NBA season is to finish with 20 more successful predictions than unsuccessful ones. A difficult target, for sure, but I can do it. My betting score is NBA 94-112 in favor of unsuccessful, MLB 97-89 in favor of successful, NHL 2-5 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL+NCAAF 3-9 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: New York Mets on the road will beat Los Angeles Dodgers in the 1st game of the series. The final 4-game National League series is a dish for true baseball gourmets. Especially when it's a showdown between New York and Los Angeles! I'm a Los Angeles Lakers fan since the time of Kobe Bryant, so the Californians are closer in my affections than New York, it is logical. But still, I don't have a favorite team in MLB and I'm completely objective. The Mets roster is much more varied and balanced than the Dodgers. Yes, Los Angeles has Shohei Ohtani. He is the strongest offensive player in all MLB and I don't think anyone will argue with that argument. But Los Angeles doesn't have anyone else. Okay, there's also Freddie Freeman, but he's obviously regressed this season, and he also has a micro injury that he suffered in the series against the Padres. Teoscar Hernandez is actually in very good shape, but he's never been a consistent offensive player. Mookie Betts is very unstable. And the rest of the roster just isn't noteworthy. The starting pitchers are much weaker then in the Mets' rotation. Jack Flaherty will play in the 1st game of the series as a Los Angeles starting pitcher and Kodai Senga will play as a New York starting pitcher. Jack Flaherty completely failed in the 2nd game of the series against the Padres and finished the regular season with 3 failed games against Atlanta, San Diego, and Miami. Nothing good I can say about this pitcher. Yes, he was very reliable in Detroit this season, but when he moved to Los Angeles, all of his reliability evaporated. The Mets' starting pitcher, Kodai Senga, missed all of this season due to 2 injuries in a row, but he had a very high level last season with a very solid ERA of “2.98”! He is a very strong starting pitcher who destroyed the Dodgers last season (got 4 hits in 6 innings and only 1 run). Well, the bookies are underestimating New York Mets. Again! And once again we have to make them pay to us. You want to bet? Sure!
