Where it is , Bet Online or another sportsbook, you should be running to your computer or mobile right now to start researching Thursday’s options, and there is a lot of variety as we have baseball, college football, hockey and golf to sort through.

MLB Betting

Tigers Yankees Odds (8:00 PM ET): New York hosts the fifth and deciding game of their ALDS series against Detroit, and they’ll have a rookie on the mound in Ivan Nova, while the Tigers counter with Doug Fister. Nova came out on top in a 9-3 victory in a rain-postponed Game 1, and that could be a major reason that the Yankees are -150 favorites at in the Bronx.

Golf Betting

Frys.com Open Odds (Tee times start at 10:10 AM ET): Fall Series events usually don’t get a lot of attention, but when Tiger Woods says he’ll play, the spotlight heads his way. Woods promised Fred Couples, who picked him for the Presidents Cup, that he would play leading into the tournament and it helps that this event is in California, and is close to where Woods went to school (Stanford). He’ll tee off at 3:10 PM ET with Louis Oosthuizen and Patrick Cantley, and Woods is the favorite at most .
