Over/Under Sits at 10 for Nationals vs. Phillies Series Finale

1 week ago | crossingbroad.com | Joe Tansey

Legal Sports Betting By Joe Tansey Published: May 1st, 2025 · 2:29 PM EDT 21 runs were scored in the first two games of the Phillies’ three-game set with the Nationals. Thursday’s series finale is expected to be the highest-scoring game of the three with the over/under currently at 10. It’s easily the highest total of the three games. Part of that has to do with the Phils scoring seven runs in each game, but the other component is the pitching matchup.

Recent history is not on the side of the Tampa Bay Lightning in an elimination situation. The Lightning are 2-3 in their last five postseason games when facing elimination dating back to Game 6 of their Stanley Cup Final loss to the Colorado Avalanche. With that being said, the Lightning are capable of outplaying the reigning Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers. After all, they just did so in Game 3 of the first-round series.

Legal Sports Betting By Joe Tansey Published: Apr 30th, 2025 · 2:44 PM EDT Here’s hoping the Phillies play a less chaotic game than Tuesday’s series opener against the Washington Nationals. On paper, the Phils should (should being the operative word) cruise to another home win behind Cristopher Sanchez. After all, the Fightins are a -230 favorite on the moneyline and the run line price sits at -108. The over/under is set at 7.5 because of Sanchez’s home numbers.

The Minnesota Wild and Vegas Golden Knights haven't been front and center in the Western Conference spotlight through four games. However, their series has been as entertaining as the Edmonton-Los Angeles and Colorado-Dallas series at the top of the marquee. Twenty-seven goals were scored in the first four games and more tallies are on the menu at T-Mobile Arena on Tuesday night. Jack Eichel Over 2.5 Shots On Goal (-142) Jack Eichel played his way into the series in Minnesota.
Phillies Return to Citizens Bank Park a -340 Series Favorite Against Nationals

Legal Sports Betting By Joe Tansey Published: Apr 29th, 2025 · 2:19 PM EDT The Phillies are back in town for a much-needed home stand against the Washington Nationals and Arizona Diamondbacks. The much-needed part really refers to the three-game set with the Nats, who just gave up 26 runs in the last two days to the New York Mets. Washington’s piss-poor overall pitching staff is the primary reason for the Phillies to be listed as a -340 series favorite at DraftKings.

The road team is 3-0 in the NHL first-round series between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Florida Panthers. Florida lost Game 3 despite a 12-shot advantage in attempts on net. The Panthers will pressure Andrei Vasilevskiy's net once again in Monday's Game 4, and that leads to plenty of player prop opportunities from that side of the ice. Andrei Vasilevskiy Over 26.5 Saves (-135)Andrei Vasilevskiy was forced into 34 saves in Game 3.
Jihaad Campbell Listed Between +1200 and +1500 to win NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year

1 week ago | crossingbroad.com | Joe Tansey

The Eagles were close to producing a Defensive Rookie of the Year last season and there’s a chance it could happen again in 2025. First-round pick Jihaad Campbell is anywhere from +1200 to +1500 to win the Defensive Rookie of the Year award. There’s a ton of time between now and Week 1, but I’d argue there’s a strong chance Campbell is in the mix until the end of the regular season. Abdul Carter (future Eagle when his rookie deal is up) is the clear favorite at all sportsbooks to win DROY.

The Philadelphia Union’s identity under head coach Bradley Carnell is clear to the eye. The numbers through 10 games back it up as well. The biggest takeaway from diving through all the numbers at FBRef is that the some of the defensive actions line up with what St. Louis City recorded under Carnell in 2023. Philadelphia leads Major League Soccer in passes blocked (106). That’s 10 more than LAFC in second place.
Match Thoughts: Philadelphia Union 3, D.C. United 0

CHESTER — The Philadelphia Union picked up a result they were expected to get on Saturday. That’s the broad takeaway for a team that struggled in so many similar spots in the last year. How the Union got to the 3-0 win over D.C. United was a bit more difficult, even though the Black-and-Red showed exactly why they are one of the worst teams in Major League Soccer.

CHESTER — Jakob Glesnes had a good laugh with Indiana Vassilev about his golazo-scoring ways earlier this week in training. “Indy was asking me before training “How many bangers do you have here in Philly because everyone is screaming shoot?”,” Glesnes said.
