NFL
With preseason football in full swing, the countdown is on until Opening Day for the NFL. OddsShark previews each NFL team as we inch closer to the 2016 season. Here’s the defending champion Broncos preview.
I can’t say enough good things about these previews. For one it’s extremely well organized in that it gives you props for : total wins, odds for the division , odds for the conference, and odds for the Super Bowl all in one place.
Here’s a link for the breakdown of the teams already covered, the others will continue to be released as we get near kickoff. Once again , A+ stuff from OddsShark.com.
– Throughout the year, OddsShark.com will be comparing notes with PredictionMachine.com this year and tracking its success. The PredictionMachine has the Seahawks and Steelers in it’s Super Bowl match up.
NBA
Russell Westbrook is now the favorite to win the NBA MVP award, surpassing Steph Curry on the odds board. If you love futures, you’ll wanna check these out. Personally- Lebron at +500 seems like something I like.
PICKS
Back to our old friend @SamSays09 who’s done real well in this spot, and over the last two days is on an 8-0 run. You know my rule, when someone’s hot you give them the rock. So here we go :
” Anyone who knows me knows how much I dislike Francisco Liriano. He has been even worse this year with a 5.46 ERA and an alarmingly high 1.62 WHIP, mostly due to the incredible lack of command he has shown. He has allowed 73 walks in 125.1 innings. He has been even worse on the road this year with a 2-6 record and a 6.23 ERA, while only striking out 61 and walking 37.
Indians are 2nd in the Majors hitting lefties at .277 and are 4th in the league in OBP. Not the best match up for our boy Liriano.On the other side of the mound we got Trevor Bauer, who was having a great year (7-3, 3.30 ERA) until the All Star break rolled around. In 6 starts since the break he is 2-2 with a 6.23 ERA and has also had trouble finding the plate walking 18 batters in only 24 innings. He has also allowed 18 runs in his last 4 home starts. A small sample size but in 49 AB’s, Jays hitters are batting .306 off him. Jay have also scored 42 runs in their last 7 games despite being shutout in one of those.
