MLS Opening Day Rundown

The MLS season kicks off this Saturday with six matches on tap.  I will be providing (as much as possible) predictions as well as some DraftKings information to get you ready for kick off.  The main slate on DraftKings includes the games from 7:00 on, so I will include position by position picks for the slate. Note: If you play DraftKings, remember to check lineups as they come out around an hour before kickoff. This season we have another new franchise in LAFC, which will provide some intrigue.  They do not open the season on Saturday, so I will touch on the expansion club in another article.  Before we dive into the games, here are the odds on the MLS Cup Winner for the 2018 season. MLS Cup Winner Odds Toronto FC +350 Atlanta United +800 Seattle Sounders +800 Portland Timbers +900 New York City FC +1000 FC Dallas +1600 LA Galaxy +1600 Houston Dynamo +2000 NY Red Bulls +2000 Chicago Fire +25...

College Football Bowl Predictions

Before we jump into the breakdown of each bowl throughout the bowl season, I have an announcement to make.  I appreciate everyone who reads my blog and everyone who has given me feedback over the last year or so.  I am officially launching my new website  www.dekessports.com  and all of my future content will be posted there.  I am excited to continue to write articles spanning all sports and can't wait to see what the future holds! The College Football Playoff is set and bowl eligible teams know where they are heading for a bowl. I was hoping for a little bit of chaos, but neither Georgia or Memphis was unable to hold on to double digit leads.  The article last week went 8-2 straight up including two underdog winners as my beloved UAB Dragons came through once again as did Fresno State in a snowy OT thriller. Before the bowls kick off, I will have a short blurb for each bowl and provide a prediction.  Bowls can be tough to cap as so many players s...

Wimbledon First Round Values

Some great First Round matchups in the Round of 128 coming up at Wimbledon.  I'm going to breakdown a few of the values I like and the bets I will be making. Section 1 Harrison/Carballes Baena Over 3.5 (+100) Carballes Baena has rarely played on anything but Clay and his results on other surfaces show.  He has also had a rough going as of late and is 18-18 on the year.  This is his first Wimbledon and has only three matches on Grass to his name (0-3).  Ryan Harrison has been bounced out of his last three first rounds and isn't having the best season either (12-13).  Harrison is 28-35 on Grass lifetime and is just 1-5 in the last two years.  Although I have Harrison winning this match, I don't see a straight set finish and at even money, I'll take my chances with the over. Elias +2.5 (+100) vs. Garcia-Lopez Gustao Elias actually leads this H2H 2-1 and all two of the three meetings ended in three sets. (Elias won 2-0 the other meeting.  These...
