Prop Bet Picks- Kevin Durant's Next Team

One of the biggest questions in the NBA this offseason is which team will free agent forward Kevin Durant be playing for next season. His current contract with Oklahoma City has expired and starting this Friday he will embark on a five-team road trip to help determine his NBA playing future. The first stop on that tour is with Golden State, which other than resigning with the Thunder, has the best odds on the board at BetAnySports to land the biggest prize in this offseason's NBA free agent derby.

As part of my weekly prop bet picks for Doc's Sports, I have weighed in with my thoughts on where the best value in Durant's free agent prop bet odds lies. I also took a closer look at this year's crop of NBA rookies to come up with my pick for 'Rookie of the Year' according to the betting odds at BetAnySports for this prop. Check out the link below for my complete rundown on the top value in the betting odds for both of these props.

Betting the Mets in the Series Price Odds vrese the Nationals

MLB action dominates the sports betting scene this time of the year and some of the best bets you can make in terms of value in the numbers are on the series price odds that are released in advance of any new three-game matchup. One of the top series on this week's MLB slate sends the New York Mets to Nationals Park for three games against the NL East-leading Washington Nationals.

New York has been able to close the gap to just three games with a 4-2 record in its last six outings coupled with a 1-6 slide by Washington in its last seven constests. These two have already met six times this season with each team claiming a 2-1 series victory on the road. The Mets have been listed as slight -115 road favorites for Monday night series opener and I am looking to parlay a win in that game to a series price win on New York this week at even money +100 betting odds with BetAnySports.

Hoppertunity is at the Top of My List in Saturday's Gold Cup at Santa Anita

The summer horse racing season for major graded events continues to heat up with the running of this Saturday's $500,000 Gold Cup at Santa Anita Park. The expected field for this Grade 1 stakes race over 1 1/4 miles on the dirt at Santa Anita has eight horses listed as entered and the one at the top of my list is trainer Bob Baffert's Hoppertunity. There was some question as to whether or not this five-year old Kentucky-bred champion would run in this race, but all systems appear to be a go for Saturday's main event on a jam-packed race card out on the West Coast.

Check out the link below for this week's horse racing betting report for SBR Picks to get my full preview of this race along with a bonus exacta pick for the Grade 1 Triple Bend Stakes which is also on Saturday's card at Santa Anita.

The Wild, Wild West Leads the Charge to the 2016 CFL Grey Cup

In the NFL, teams like the Patriots and the Packers head the list of favorites to win Super Bowl LI next February. When it comes to football 'North of the Border' things get a bit wilder with teams like the Eskimos, Stampeders and Roughriders leading the charge to claim the next Grey Cup title.

A new season in the CFL gets underway this week and with the start of the 2016 NFL and college football season still more than two months away this is the only game in town for anyone dying to bet on some actual games. As part of this week's top betting tips for Doc's Sports, I took on the task of handicapping BetAnySport's CFL futures odds to win the 2016 Grey Cup Championship.

The Edmonton Eskimos come in as defending champs and favorites to win again. Considering that they play in the West Division along with the likes of Calgary and Saskatchewan, there is a good chance that a team from the West wins it all again after laying claim to the Grey Cup in four of the last five seasons.

2016 NBA Draft Top Prop Picks

If you are still trying to recoup the funds you lost betting on Golden State in the recent NBA Finals, then you might want to try and change your luck betting on a few NBA props that BetAnySports has recently released in advance of Thursday's annual college draft. Only 60 players are chosen in the draft over two rounds of selections making this one of the more interesting prop bet events to wager on.

I decided to take a stab at picking a few winners in this week's top prop bet picks article for Doc's Sports. As a tortured Philadelphia 76ers' fan the only drama will be how long its takes the league's worst team to announce that former LSU guard Ben Simmons will be the first overall pick of the night. It is also a pretty solid bet that the Los Angeles Lakers will go with former Duke standout Brandon Ingram with the second overall pick. After that, things should get interesting with a number of possible scenarios for the remainder of the first round. Check out the link below to see what I think is going to the ultimate fate of three top NBA prospects on Thursday night.

NASCAR 2016 Sprint Cup Futures Update

NASCAR's Sprint Cup series has the week off making it a great time to take a closer look at BetAnySports' updated futures odds to win this season's title. Defending champion Kyle Busch is off to a fast start with three checkered flags through the first 15 point-race events and 2014 champ Kevin Harvick is leading the way in the standings with the most points. I still think this could be Jimmie Johnson's year to add to his title collection as a six-time winner of the Sprint Cup series. He has already won twice this year to pretty much lock-up a spot in the 2016 Chase and more than motivated to prove that he is NASCAR's greatest driver ever.

NASCAR radically changed the rules of the 10-race Chase to the Sprint Cup title two years ago by going to a round-by-round scenario where the original list of 16 drivers is slowly whittled-down to a final four that competes in a winner-take-all event at Homestead-Miami in the final race of the season. Under the new rules Johnson has finished 11th and 10th in the final standings so it all comes down to racing your best at the right time of the year. BetAnySports still has the No. 48 Chevy listed as the favorite to win this season's title but Busch and Harvick are also high on the list. In a recent update for SBRPicks.com I broke down the updated Sprint Cup futures odds to come up with my top favorite, contender and longshot to win this year's title so please check out the link below to see if you agree with my picks.

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.
