2011 MLB Picks and Predictions: AL West Preview

Oakland Athletics (81-81, 2nd Place AL West in 2010): General Manager Billy Beane seems to find ways to push all of the right buttons in the offseason, and though he didn’t really make any of those “Wow!” moves this year, he certainly made some prudent calls.

Bringing in Hideki Matsui and Josh Willingham should add some stability to a rather questionable lineup from last year, and David DeJesus should thrive now that he has some real bats around him. This is a young pitching staff from top to bottom, but many think that this could be a great year for this team.

Free NBA Picks: Miami Heat vs. Cleveland Cavaliers Preview

He’s baaaaaaaaaaaack! LeBron James is back in his hometown on Tuesday night, and you can bet that the boo birds will be out en masse for this one at Quicken Loans Arena, as the Cleveland Cavaliers play host to the Miami Heat in Free NBA Picks action.

Things are going well for the Heat right now, but Head Coach Erik Spoelstra just has to be wondering whether this team is really equipped for a run in the playoffs or not.

2011 MLB Picks and Predictions: AL East Preview

Boston Red Sox (89-73, 3rd Place AL East in 2010): The Red Sox really have a different feel to them this year. Sure, they ran out of time to run down the big boys in the AL East last season and were very uncharacteristically left out of the postseason, but they definitely have some new blood in the lineup in the form of Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford. These two really could shine and make everyone else in this batting order better, and when you’ve already got one of the most stacked pitching staffs in baseball, you’ve got a heck of a shot to win it all.

In one of the last games of Saturday night March Madness Picks, the Kansas State Wildcats will try to figure out the tough defense for the Wisconsin Badgers in NCAA Tournament betting action.

March Madness betting tips off on Thursday for 30 teams, but right off of the bat, we see a team that is playing for the second time already, as the Clemson Tigers take on the West Virginia Mountaineers.

Big 10 Tournament Preview: Penn State Nittany Lions vs. Ohio State Buckeyes Pick

This is what makes the madness of March fantastic. The upstart Penn State Nittany Lions will hope to earn an automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament out of nowhere on Sunday afternoon in college basketball betting action, as they take on one of the top teams in the country, the Ohio State Buckeyes.

What a terrific story Penn State is. This is a team that wasn’t even so sure that it would be an NIT team with an early exit from the Big Ten Tournament, and all of a sudden, here it is right on the verge of the dance, potentially even without a win on Sunday.

A potential No. 1 seed could be on the line at Madison Square Garden on Friday night in the semifinals of the Big East Tournament, as the Louisville Cardinals take on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

Madison Square Garden will continue to be the site of the 2011 Big East Tournament College Basketball Betting, and on Wednesday night, the South Florida Bulls, the highest seed left standing in this tournament, will look to make their mark against the No. 7 Cincinnati Bearcats.

USF only won two games in the entire regular season outside of the USF Sun Dome, and it only won four conference games. However, Head Coach Stan Heath’s team did a great job, coming back from a huge deficit against a tourney team on Monday night and knocking off the Villanova Wildcats by a point.
