2017 Preakness Stakes Head-to-Head Betting Picks
The 142nd running of the Preakness Stakes takes place this Saturday afternoon at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore and as expected Always Dreaming comes in as the favorite to win on the heels of his stirring 2 3/4 lengths victory two weeks ago in the Kentucky Derby. The three-year old Kentucky-bred champion has been opened as a 4/5 favorite breaking out of the fourth post and his biggest competition in this race should come from Classic Empire as a 3/1 second-favorite coming out of the No. 5 gate.
This should set the stage for a great head-to-head matchup with the top two horses in the field battling it out right from the start. In a betting article I wrote this week for SportsBooks.net, I covered both this matchup as well as one between Conquest Mo Money going up against Cloud Computing as two of the top entries that will be making their Triple Crown racing series debut after sitting out the Kentucky Derby. Please check out the link below for my "best bet" head-to-head Preakness picks.

NHL Free Picks- Ottawa at Pittsburgh Game 1
This year's Eastern Conference Finals in the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs features an intriguing matchup between the upstart Ottawa Senators out of the Atlantic Division and the Metro Division's Pittsburgh Penguins, who come into this best-of-seven series as defending world champions.
The Senators eliminated both Boston in the opening round and the New York Rangers in the conference semifinals in six games as clear underdogs on the series price odds. They come into this series as heavy +235 underdogs; however given the way this team has come together in the postseason I believe that there is quite a bit of value in those series price odds.
Getting past the high-flying Penguins will be a tall task to say the least given that they were the highest scoring team in the NHL this season with an average of 3.4 goals per game and their ability to light the lamp has carries over into the playoffs. Veteran goalie Marc-Andre Fleury has had a few rough starts over the course of Pittsburgh's opening round 4-1 series win against Columbus followed by a recent seven-game marathon against the No. 1 seed Washington Capitals, but he came up big when he had to the most by pitching a 2-0 shutout against the Capitals in that deciding Game 7 victory.
Game 1 of this conference finals showdown is on tap for Saturday night at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh and as part of my ongoing coverage of the NHL for SportsBettingStats.com, the link below is my complete preview of this series opener as well as my "best bet" pick for the game.

The Players Championship Best Bet Picks
The 2017 Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida gets underway this Thursday with opening round action in a tournament that has been often times referred to as professional golf's "Fifth Major".
Dustin Johnson leads the PGA Tour's money list and he currently ranked No. 1 when it comes to the Official World Golf Rankings so its stands to reason that he would open this tournament as a +700 favorite to win at BetAnySports on that online sportsbook's Players Championship futures odds board. Picking an outright winner in any golf tournament is a tall task to say the least given the overall quality of play throughout the field along with all the internal and external factors that can easily impact even the best golfers in the world from playing their best.
If you are looking to bet on an outright winner, then two of the most important things to take into consideration is a player's current form as well as their past performance at that particular tournament's venue. Some golf courses set up perfectly for one player's top strengths, while at the same time working against another player's skill set. Anytime you are handicapping the field for a golf tournament that is played at the same course every year such as The Players Championship, you already have a built in edge given each player's past results.
Taking both of these factors into consideration, I have come up with my top-valued favorite, top-valued contender and top-valued longshot picks for this week's Players Championship in a recent piece I wrote for Sportsbooks.net The link to the piece is copied below.

2017 Kentucky Derby Free Trifecta Pick
Coming off a very exciting prep race schedule, the top 20 three-year old thoroughbreds in the nation will now try and take the next step to horse racing glory by winning the 143rd Kentucky Derby on tap for this Saturday at Churchill Downs. The post positions have been set along with the morning line odds, so now is the time to start handicapping the field in hopes of cashing in on 'The Greatest Two Minutes in Sports'.
This year's field is one of the deepest in years making my job of picking a three-horse trifecta bet all that more difficult. To my credit, I have correctly pick the winners of the last three Kentucky Derby's. However, so did most of the betting public considering that California Chrome (2014), American Pharoah (2015) and Nyquist (2016) all went off as heavy favorites.
Classic Empire opened with the best odds on the board at 4/1 for this year's Kentucky Derby, but right on his heels are Always Dreaming and McCraken at 5/1 and Irish War Cry at 6/1. All four of these horses have already proven themselves to be worthy Derby contenders given their earlier victories this season in some Grade 1 major stakes events so the challenge for this race is to decide which one will be at their absolute best heading down the stretch run at Churchill late Saturday afternoon.
I have been picking trifectas on the trail to the 2017 Kentucky Derby for SBR Picks ever since this year's crop of contenders started their racing career as juveniles and in this week's Horse Racing Betting Report I revealed which three will make up my trifecta pick for this year's Run for the Roses. Please check out the link below for an in-depth look at all three colts.
