This Week’s Slate

Top matchups and betting opportunities for the week ahead.

MLB Matchups to Watch: August 19-25

As it stands, the White Sox are the only team eliminated from playoff contention.

The following games are most likely to impact the playoff picture, making them essential viewing for MLB fans and bettors alike!

Mariners vs. Dodgers (August 19-21)

The Mariners visit the Dodgers on Monday to kick off a three game series.

Seattle is vying for a Wild Card berth, while LA aims to solidify its lead in the NL West.

This series could have significant playoff implications as we head to the end of the regular season.

Phillies vs. Braves (August 20-22)

This NL East showdown features two of the league’s top teams.

The Phillies, one of the top teams in the league, go against the Braves in Atlanta.

• Braves lead season series 4-2

The Braves currently hold a Wild Card spot, but a rough series could set them back in the hunt.

Astros vs. Orioles (August 22-25)

The AL-leading Orioles host the Astros in a pivotal series.

Baltimore seeks to maintain its top spot in the AL, while Houston aims to extend the gap in the AL West.

• The Astros swept 3-0 at home in their first series

The series kicks off with Bryan Woo going against Gavin Stone.

Diamondbacks vs. Red Sox (August 23-25)

Both teams are in the thick of the Wild Card race, making this interleague series critical.

• This is the first time these two teams will face off this season

The D-backs head to Fenway, looking to gain ground in the NL, while the Red Sox aim to keep pace in the AL.

NFL Week 1 Is Almost Here

The final week of preseason football is here, which means Week 1 is right around the corner.

With that, let’s take a look at some season expectations.

NFL Offensive Rookie Of The Year Odds

Caleb Williams [+150] is clearly the favorite here, and has a sizable odds discrepancy from Daniels [+650].

This award is mainly given to quarterbacks, wide receivers, and running backs. However, it’s more likely that we see a quarterback or wide receiver win this year.

Trey Benson [+6000] has the highest odds of any running back, but he sits behind both James Conner and Emari Demercado on the Cardinals’ depth chart.

McCarthy will be out all season with an injury sustained in preseason.

We like Caleb Williams, Marvin Harrison, and Xavier Worthy as one of the winners. We’ll revisit this when the time comes!

College Football Returns: What to Watch In Week 0

Week 0 kicks off this Saturday, August 24 at 12:00pm ET.

Florida State #10 takes on Georgia Tech in Dublin Ireland.

The Seminoles will look a bit different this year, but still have high expectations as the preseason number 10.

Seminole Players Drafted

• Jared Verse (Edge) - Round 1, Pick 19

• Keon Coleman (WR) - Round 2, Pick 1

• Braden Fiske (DL) - Round 2, Pick 7

• Renardo Green (DB) - Round 2, Pick 32

• Trey Benson (RB) - Round 3, Pick 2

• Jarrian Jones (DB) - Round 3, Pick 32

• Jordan Travis (QB) - Round 5, Pick 36

• Johnny Wilson (WR) - Round 6, Pick 9

• Jaheim Bell (TE) - Round 7, Pick 11

• Tatum Bethune (LB) - Round 7, Pick 31

With 17 incoming transfers, including QB DJ Uiagalelei from Oregon State, this team still has the potential to make a playoff run.

Florida State v. Georgia Tech Bettings Odds

Florida State is unsurprisingly favored against a Georgia Tech team that’s expected to finish in the lower half of the ACC this season.

As we get closer to kickoff additional bets and player props should become available.

Closing Out Week 0

• Montana State @ New Mexico | 4pm ET

  • Montana State -9.5

  • O/U 53.5

• SMU @ Nevada | 8pm ET

  • SMU -27.5

  • O/U 56.5

• Delaware State @ Hawai’i | 11:59pm ET

  • Hawai’i -38

UFC 305 Aftermath

Du Plessis got funny on social the day after his fight, hinting at Drake’s $450k bet on Adesanya.

Is the curse real?

How’d Our Cappers Do?

In case you missed it, we sent out a (free) betting guide for UFC 305.

For it, we went out and found some of the top UFC cappers out there, and asked them for some plays they liked.

Here’s how they did:

Going 8/15, bettors who placed 1 unit on each bet would’ve found themselves up 2.83 units.

We’ll count that as a win.
