Sports Betting – A Look At Saturday’s Wagering Options

[Freddy Wills]

Your favorite soccer blog (which you can ) has been focused on the Champions League final, which is just one event on a very busy Saturday, so let’s jump right into the matchups.

NBA Odds

Spurs Grizzlies Odds (3:30 PM ET): Memphis should be a slight favorite at home even after losing Game 1, but may point out that the Spurs have the motivation of last year’s loss to the Grizzlies as a No.1 seed to push them.

Thunder Lakers Odds (10:30 PM ET): Oklahoma City won the first two games at home, and Game 3 is on Friday night in Los Angeles, which means that the Thunder could close out the series. Hopefully, the Lakers will at least put up a fight.

NHL Betting

Rangers Devils Odds (1:00 PM ET): New Jersey is a -127 favorite at home for Game 3, but players that use systems know that home-ice for this series is skewed given the proximity of New York and New Jersey.

MLB Odds

Red Sox Phillies Odds (7:15 PM ET): Boston should send Jon Lester to the hill, while the Phillies counter with Joe Blanton in the biggest interleague matchup of the weekend on the baseball diamond.

Cardinals Dodgers Odds (10:10 PM ET): In the only non-interleague series of the weekend, a pair of solid pitchers clash on Saturday as St. Louis’ Jake Westbrook will take on reigning Cy Young winner Clayton Kershaw of the Dodgers.

Soccer Betting

Chelsea Bayern Odds (2:45 PM ET): Bayern Munich is a -120 favorite against Chelsea in Munich, and Bayern has the opportunity to become the first team to win the Champions League on their own turf, but the Blues will come hard at them despite a number of suspensions and injuries.

Horse Betting

Preakness Stakes Odds (post time is 6:18 PM ET): The second jewel of the Triple Crown will invade your on Saturday as Bodemeister looks for revenge after fatiguing down the stretch and handing the Kentucky Derby to I’ll Have Another. The two are favored heading into Pimlico in Baltimore, and this is the shortest of the Triple Crown races, so speed will be at a premium.
