The New York Yankees (62-40 SU, 51-51 RL, 48-49-5 O/U) and Chicago White Sox (52-51 SU, 59-44 RL, 39-62-2 O/U) will both be gunning for a victory when they square off at U.S. Cellular Field tonight at 8 PM ET. The White Sox handed the Yankees a narrow 3-2 loss on Thursday as DeWayne Wise drove in the winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning. The White Sox cashed in for BetUS MLB sports...

REFLECTIONS AFTER THE TRADE DEADLINE Frankly, I was a little surprised that the Toronto Blue Jays did not get a deal done for Roy Halladay. They are going to lose him eventually to free agency, and they have certainly given up, because they wouldn't have shopped him in the first place, and wouldn't have dealt Scott Rolen, possibly their best hitter (.320) to the Reds.

The Los Angeles Angels (60-40 SU, 56-44 RL, 59-37-4 O/U) and Minnesota Twins (52-50 SU, 51-51 RL, 45-55-2 O/U)will both look to extend their respective winning streaks in the BetUS Sportsbook when they square off at The Metrodome tonight at 8 PM ET. John Lackey struck out eight batters while tossing a three-hitter over seven innings – and the Angels scored five runs in the fifth inning...

Baseball betting wraps up the month of July on Friday, and as a part of a full slate of sports betting affairs, the Tampa Bay Rays (55-47, +$67) will do battle with the Kansas City Royals (40-61, -$2084) at Tropicana Field.

There’s nothing like the trade deadline to shake up the MLB betting front, and the evidence is on full display this weekend. Cliff Lee is slated to make his first start for the Philadelphia Phillies, who face a new-look San Francisco Giants lineup that includes Lee’s former teammate Ryan Garko. Over in the American League, don’t be surprised if the New York Yankees make a big...

The Carolina Panthers may have won the NFC South in 2009 with a stellar 12-4 regular season record but they will have their work cut out for them in 2009 with the much-improved Atlanta Falcons nipping at their heels. Oh, maybe I forgot to mention that the explosive New Orleans Saints, led by Pro Bowl quarterback Drew Brees, are expecting to contend for the division title.

The Patriots have five guys who could conceivably start…and five guys that could conceivably not. The problem? They’re the same five guys. A team that has made a habit of dominating the ground game is opening the season as Super Bowl favorites, but if there’s any chink in the armor of the Patriots, its in the backfield.

Tom Brady is back for the New England Patriots. That’s the big news regarding the AFC East Division this year. That, and the fact that the New York Jets have a new coach, a new quarterback, and a tougher schedule. T.O.? Yes, he’s part of the AFC East as well this year. All of this leads to the question - - can the Miami Dolphins repeat as AFC East Champions? Let’s take...

I’ve been considering the fact that Marvin Harrison remains unsigned, and the bevy of rookie wideouts that remain unsigned by their respective teams. Michael Crabtree and Darrius Heyward-Bey, the two top drafted receivers this year, haven’t suited up yet for their bayside teams because – yep – they’re still in negotiations with their teams.

Fans of boxing betting will get a peak at possibly the future of the sport on Saturday night during SHOWTIME’s highly-anticipated August 1 card. Those who passionately follow boxing odds may already be familiar with his name, but for those who aren’t, he is sure to make an impression quickly. Devon Alexander, just eighteen fights into his professional career, will take on Junior Witter...

RIO DE JANEIRO - A Brazilian police investigation has determined that the death of boxer Arturo Gatti was a suicide and a court has ordered the release of his wife, who was being detained under the suspicion of killing him. Lead investigator Paulo Alberes told The Associated Press on Thursday that police concluded Gatti killed himself on July 11 in a seaside resort in northeastern Brazil. When...

It’s been more than two decades since anyone led the NFL in sacks in back-to-back seasons. Can DeMarcus Ware end the drought this season, or should the NFL betting community look elsewhere when placing their futures wagers? In 2008 Ware easily led the league with 20 sacks. That was also a career high for the Cowboys linebacker, who had 14 sacks a year earlier.

The Falcons certainly had a lot of ground to make up last season, and they did it. Winning seven of their last nine games, including three victories over playoff teams, to snatch a wild card berth with an 11-5 record (9-7 ATS). They did it the old-fashioned way, by pounding the ball on the ground and minimizing mistakes.

NFL teams are keeping mum on if they are interesting in the services of Michael Vick. With team chemistry, ticket sales and negative press still and issue dont expect many teams to come forward until a few weeks into the pre-season with news on Vick. A day after the quarterback was conditionally reinstated to the league, only the Baltimore Ravens would directly acknowledge evaluating him....

Lord knows that my editor’s inbox has been inundated with articles from me titled “Retire Already, Favre!” and “We Don’t Want You Back, Dog Slayer!”. Well now, to end the discussion I’ve combined the two. The league announced this week that Michael Vick will be conditionally reinstated in to the NFL by Roger Goddell, while news came down today that Brett Favre will remain...

Tom Brady - New England Patriots – “The Rehab Years” He’s just two seasons removed from his record setting, 50-touchdown season that culminated in a perfect (regular) season and a quarterback rating of 117.2. The issue – his torn ACL and subsequent rehab from a crushing chop block courtesy of Bernard Pollard.

Vikings coach Brad Childress says Brett Favre won’t come out retirement to play for Minnesota. Childress has confirmed in a text message on Tuesday that the three-time MVP quarterback for the Green Bay Packers and NY Jets would not join his team. Vikings coach Brad Childress told reporters late this afternoon that the quarterback informed the team he has decided to remain retired. Childress...

Inevitably, the heavyweight division will be at the forefront of every boxing betting conversation that takes place across North America and abroad. Unfortunately, this year hasn’t exactly been an exemplary display of talented boxing or governance when it comes to the heavyweight division, and in particular, the World Boxing Association. It has recently been announced that the upcoming bout...
