Baseball predictions for September 8 – 10

New York Yankees versus Texas Rangers

The Yankees are second in the American League East, while the Rangers are third in the American League West. Looking at the overall trend and current power of the two teams, I see the Yankees hold a big +25 to +14 edge in the Power Ranking Indicator, while the Rangers hold a slim +4.28 to +2.34 advantage in terms of the MLB Strength Oscillator. Neither team is in the top ten in Team Volatility, so I am putting little value into favorite and underdog status in this ...

NBA Futures Betting: Golden State Warriors Favored by Sportsbooks

After winning two of the last three NBA Finals and having the most star studded roster in the Association, sportsbooks around the world have unanimously placed the Golden State Warriors as the NBA futures betting favorite.

The 2017-18 NBA regular season tips off on October 17th with the Warriors in action against the Houston Rockets. Steph Curry and Kevin Durant will be poised to lead the Warriors back to the title, but can an upstart Western Conference team stop Golden State from a fourth straight Finals appearance?

NFL Predictions Week 1

The first week of the NFL season is always the most difficult to predict, as little is seen of starting teams during the preseason. There are methods to use, however, including point spreads, overall team trends, head-to-head match up, previous season’s performance and so on. Utilizing the Power Ranking Indicator, Team Strength Oscillator, Head-to-Head records from last season, among others, here is my breakdown for six games this week.

Jacksonville Jaguars at Houston Texans

Jacksonville finished 3-13 last season, while Houston finished on top of the division at 9-7. The Texans come in as a 5.5 point favorite and won ...

Obviously, this is written on Tuesday (9/5) so always keep an eye on the changing lines and percentages.

AFC EAST PREVIEW

With opening weekend (September 7th) right around the corner, now is the time to start digging deeper into expectations for each team. Today we will take a look at the AFC EAST.

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

Last season: 14-2

BetOnline O/U wins: 12.5

New England has won the AFC East the last eight straight years and it doesn’t look like that will change in 2017. Losing Julian Edelman to a knee injury in the preseason is a big loss but the Patriots always find a way to make replacements work. It doesn’t hurt to have Tom Brady available for ...

MLS Match Preview & Predictions for September 2nd

Although the United States and other CONCACAF region teams are playing in World Cup qualifying matches, Major League Soccer will continue this weekend with an abbreviated schedule on September 2nd.

Four matches are on tap and three of which have playoff ramifications.

Montreal Impact vs. Chicago Fire

These two teams are certainly going in different directions. Montreal has won four of its last five matches, while Chicago has lost five of six. The Fire were one of MLS’s best teams until July when the club went into a tailspin that has lasted throughout August. ...

Boston Red Sox versus New York Yankees

Looking at match ups in this classic division rivalry, the Red Sox hold a slight advantages in Power Ranking, MLB Strength Oscillator and Power Ranking Indicator. They are sixth in Power Ranking compared to eighth for the Yankees and hold a very small +21 to +20 edge in the Power Ranking Indicator. Neither team rank high in Team Volatility, so they are far from sure bets as favorites or as underdogs.

Pitching match ups: ...
