Today`s Sports Betting Picks

Florida Panthers vs. Vegas Golden Knights (Saturday)

Yes, we`re getting a little ahead of ourselves here on the brink of the weekend, but hockey bettors can`t wait to get the Stanley Cup Final underway. Game 1 goes Saturday in Las Vegas with the Golden Knights sitting as -131 favourites. So far, about 65 per cent of bettors are banking on the Panthers to steal the first game of the series as +107 underdogs.

If you`re looking for a sneaky player prop play, check out Sam Bennett to finish with at least four shots on goal in Saturday`s game. He hasn`t scored since Game 1 against Toronto, but it`s not for lack of trying. Bennett registered six shots twice against Carolina and hasn`t had fewer than three shots in his last seven games.

Cincinnati Reds at Milwaukee Brewers

The Reds had a five-game winning streak snapped with an 8-2 loss in Boston on Thursday but this team is showing signs of life, having won seven of its last 10 overall. Meanwhile, Milwaukee has lost five of its last seven following a 3-1 defeat at Toronto yesterday. With both of these teams coming off a plane last night it`s an even playing field and we like the look of the Reds` offence lately.

Manchester City vs. Manchester United – FA Cup Final (Saturday)

All eyes will be on this huge Manchester Derby at Wembley Stadium on Saturday as Manchester United tries to snap City’s hope of taking home another trophy. City is a big -238 favourite here after securing the Premier League title and, looking ahead, they’re also favoured to wear the Champions League crown when they face Inter Milan next weekend. With City cruising to the Premier League finish line, many of their top players have been rested, including Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland so expect some goals in this one.
