– While reading OddsShark.com, plenty of trends starting to jump out when looking at which MLB games to wager on. Here’s a few for you to win some more cash for Arizona Iced Teas :

– Joe Osborne does a great job pointing out King Felix’s dominance versus the Angels last season. He is on the hill once again tonight.

My favorite nugget : King Felix went 3-1 with 43 K’s and a 1.80 ERA in 40 IP. Even better, when pitching at Angels Stadium, the location of tonight’s game, Hernandez had a 1.42 ERA while striking out 22 batters in 19 innings of work.

-Sonny Gray (A’s) and Aaaron Sanchez (Blue Jays) is the pitching match up to watch tonight, here’s the trends on that one :

– Justin Hartling confirms what anyone with eyes has already been watching this season, The Cubs are pounding people.

I enjoyed this one : Kris Bryant is 4-10 with two homers versus The Reds this season.

UFC 197 

– My guy Justin Hartling has you covered here.

On the horizon :

KENTUCKY DERBY

– Odds have been posted on The Derby. Check here.

– The favorite is Nyquist, Mike Dempsey has a rundown of what you need to know about him.

-The plan is to have an interview with horse expert owner Dave Portnoy about the Derby the week of and feature it in the column. Should be a lot of fun, stay tuned.

Have a great weekend everyone, pulling huge for my friend Hank’s Celtics.
