Draft Deja Vu for Sportsbooks
Just a couple weeks removed from the craziness that was the NBA Draft, sportsbooks had another interesting day with the NHL Draft. Shane Wright was as high as -5000 during the season to go No. 1 overall and as high as -275 on draft day. Wright was actually selected fourth by the Kraken, as Slovakian forward Juraj Slafkovsky went No. 1 to the Canadiens with the draft held in Montreal.
It wasn’t a huge upset, at least not after TSN Insider Bob McKenzie (the Woj of the NHL) released his final NHL Draft rankings on June 28. Bobby Mac had Slafkovsky No. 1 and he’s as well-connected as anybody. Slafkovsky eventually wound up the -160 favorite and did go first, but there was some movement back and forth between Wright and Slafkovsky all the way up until the pick was made.
The bigger upset was that the New Jersey Devils selected Simon Nemec second overall. Nemec was in the range of +1800 to get picked second and marked the first time that Slovak-born players have gone 1-2 in the NHL Draft. US-born defenseman Logan Cooley went third and was mostly priced at -1000 to be the third player selected.
Friday MLB Betting Guide
A standard-issue 15-game Friday card features all night games as plenty of new series get underway. The Yankees and Red Sox do continue their four-game set, but we’ve also got some excellent pitching matchups and intriguing games to consider. Shane McClanahan vs. Luis Castillo is a good one to start the night in Rays/Reds and everybody will be feeling “Gray” in Texas as Sonny and Jon square off in Twins/Rangers. We’ll also be seeing a lot of red in St. Louis with Zack Wheeler vs. Adam Wainwright in Phillies/Cardinals. Pablo Lopez takes the mound in a good one against Chris Bassitt in Marlins/Mets.
