Not a bad day of betting on Thursday. Had the Braves won by 1 more run, I would’ve been a perfect 3-0 on the day. That’s alright, I think I saved my perfect day for today.

Today’s Bets- MLB:

Atlanta Braves -1.5 (on the road against Chicago Cubs)

Bet $100, win $140

I figure the Braves and Yankees are bound to get hot soon. I like the Braves more today because I think more highly of the Rays, who the Yankees are playing, compared to the Cubs. Atlanta’s won two straight so they’re hot streak may have already started. Today they go up against Trevor Williams, a pitcher with an ERA over 5 since the start of 2019. Also, Acuna is unreal and there’s no way Freeman and Ozuna hit .200 for much longer.

NBA:

Milwaukee Bucks -8 (at home against Memphis Grizzlies)

Bet $100, win $87

Memphis won last night in Chicago and now have to travel to Milwaukee to face a fresh Bucks team. Betting on Milwaukee at home is a bet that was unreal last year and it’s still be okay this year. The Bucks have won 3 straight, all by at least 11 points. They need to stay hot if they want to stay in the race for top spot in the East.

NHL:

New York Rangers -1.5 (at home against New Jersey Devils)

Bet $100, win $95

I just made this exact bet on Thursday. I’ll probably make this exact bet again tomorrow . These two teams play 4 straight against each other, and it’s pretty simple as to why Rangers -1.5 is the bet- The Rangers are playing well, getting great goaltending, while the Devils stink and seemed to have mailed it in.

Pittsburgh Penguins -1.5 (on the road against Buffalo Sabres)

Bet $100, win $105

This is another bet I might make again tomorrow as these two teams play their first of a back to back tonight. Buffalo has played better lately but they’re going up against a Pens team that needs wins if they want to potentially finish atop their division. Also, Pittsburgh is 4-0 against Buffalo this year, having outscored them 17-4.
