2016 NBA Finals Game 6 Free Pick

I had the Golden State Warriors closing things out in this season's NBA Finals in Monday's Game 5, but Draymond Green's one-game suspension along with a rare poor performance by league MVP Stephen Curry on his home court resulted in a stunning 112-97 loss to Cleveland as 5.5-point favorites on BetAnySports' closing NBA betting line.

Heading into Thursday night's Game 6, the Warriors are now listed as 2.5-point road underdogs to win a second-straight NBA title by ousting the Cavaliers in six games. Green will be back in the lineup and even more rare is Curry having two bad games in a row so I would have to lean towards Golden State as far as picking a side. The "best bet" in this game could be on the total line which is set at 207.5. It has stayed UNDER or ended as a PUSH in four of the first five games of this series and Game 6 has a very good chance of following suit with both teams ramping-up on defense in an effort to get the win.

I have been covering the NBA for BetAnySports all season long with game picks for a number of different affiliate sites. Below is a link to my Game 6 preview on OSGA.com along with my official pick for tonight's game.

This year's US Open at Oakmont Country Club near Pittsburgh gets underway this Thursday with first round action.

Going with the Favorites in the US Open

Professional golf's second Major of the season gets underway this Thursday with the opening round of the US Open at Oakmont. The top three favorites to win according to BetAnySports just so happen to be the top three golfers in the current world rankings. I do not think that is a coincidence given that this tournament is usually the toughest test the top golfers in the world face all year long. Things could be especially difficult this week given that the last time the US Open was played at Oakmont in 2007, the best total score in the field after all four rounds was five strokes over par carded by Angel Cabrera.

As part of this week's top betting tips for Doc's Sports I take a closer look at the actual betting odds to win the 2016 US Open for the top few players in the world. I also cover a top WWE star's return to MMA fighting as well as the betting odds for my best bet to win NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year this season. Check out the link below for all of my top tips.

2016 Belmont Stakes Free Trifecta Pick

I started the 2016 Triple Crown racing season on a good note with a play on Nyquist as the favorite to win the Kentucky Derby. I went chalk with this horse again in the Preakness Stakes, but Exaggerator finally broke through with the win as the second choice after finishing second at Churchill Downs with the second-best betting odds in that race as well.

While the rubber match between the two most dominant three-year olds in the nation this year never materialized with Nyquist pulling out of this Saturday's Belmont Stakes, all eyes will still be on Exaggerator to see if he can lay claim to the third jewel of this season's crown as a 9/5 favorite on the morning line. The Belmont is the longest of the three Triple Crown races at 1 1/2 miles and that extra distance has been the downfall of quite a few favorites over the years. Last season American Pharoah defied the odds by winning this race to lay claim to the first Triple Crown title since 1978, but I have a strong feeling that this year's series is going to end-up with a different horse winning each of the three races.

Check out my recent post on SportsBettingStats.com at the link below to find out which other three-year old in Saturday's 13-horse field is my pick to win this race.

NBA Finals Game 3 Prop Picks

The Cleveland Cavaliers are basically in a must-win situation heading into tonight's Game 3 of the NBA Finals after getting waxed by Golden State in the first two games of this best-of-seven matchup. The big difference this time around is that the first two games were played on the road and this game will be played in the friendly confines of Quicken Loans Area.

The Cavaliers closed as six-point road underdogs in each of their first two games at Golden State and BetAnySports has them listed as slight one-point home favorites for Game 3. The total line for this game has been set at 205. The big question you to ask yourself is which Cleveland team shows up on Wednesday night? The one that rolled to the Eastern Conference title with a straight-up 12-2 record while going a perfect 7-0 on its home court or the one that was blown off the court in its last two games by a combined 48 points.

A change of venues in any championship series has a way of changing things up and I am banking on a much better showing from LeBron and Co. as part of this week's top prop picks for Doc's Sports. Check-out the link below for my top plays on a few alternate betting lines for Game 3.

NBA Finals Top Prop Picks

The 2016 NBA Finals get underway this Thursday night with Game 1 of a best-of-seven showdown between the East's Cleveland Cavaliers and the defending champion Golden State Warriors out of the West. These two teams are very familiar with one another after battling it out in last season's championship series. The Warriors prevailed in six games against a Cleveland squad that was missing two of its best players. This time around both teams are at full strength and Golden State is still a -225 favorite to win again according to BetAnySports' current series price odds with the Cavaliers listed as +185 underdogs.

To add some extra betting action this series, I devoted this week's top prop picks for Doc's Sports to a pair of picks that I believe have the best chance to add a few extra bucks to the betting bankroll when it is all said and done. Check out the link below to see which way I am leaning in the epic rematch.
