Wednesday World Series and NBA Gambling Against the Vegas Odds

The World Series is set to resume on Wednesday (weather permitting), while many more NBA teams get going on their regular seasons. Philadelphia weather indicates it will be cold, but likely not much precipitation. Here's your Daily Sports Roundup.

The Gridiron Spotlight

The Titans vanquished the Colts on Monday night, which put them at 7-0 both straight-up and against-the-spread on the season (and four games up in the AFC South standings to boot). That makes Tennessee the most lucrative team in the conference; only the Ravens and Browns are close to them ATS, as they're both at 5-2 vs. the line.

Over in the NFC there are six teams with five against-the-spread victories already - the Giants, Redskins, Eagles, Buccaneers, Saints, and Cardinals. The worst teams to support in that conference have been the Vikings, Lions, and Niners, who all have just two ATS victories. Overall, however, the worst team for your betting dollar this year has been the Broncos - through their seven games they are at just 1-5-1 ATS (but 4-3 SU).

Other Notable Events

Major League Baseball decided not to resume soggy Game 5 of the World Series on Tuesday night, so that pushes the contest to Wednesday night in Philadelphia (assuming they can get some decent weather). The game is tied 2-2 after 5 1-2 innings of play; Shane Victorino drove in both Philadelphia runs, while Evan Longoria and Carlos Pena picked up the RBI for Tampa Bay. Originally Game 6 was supposed to be played in Tampa on Wednesday, so that contest (if required) will obviously be pushed.

The NBA regular season kicks into high gear on Wednesday night, with two dozen teams in action. The Oklahoma City Thunder will begin life at home on Wednesday against Milwaukee, while Mike D'Antoni will make his debut as the head coach of the Knicks when they play host to the Heat. D'Antoni's former team, the Suns, will begin their 2008/09 campaign on the road; they'll play in San Antonio on Wednesday night.

Rounding out the NBA's Wednesday slate: New Jersey at Washington, Toronto at Philadelphia, Atlanta at Orlando, Sacramento at Minnesota, Indiana at Detroit, Memphis at Houston, Denver at Utah, and New Orleans at Golden State. As well, the Lakers will play their second game in two nights when they 'visit' the Clippers in a divisional battle.

Finally, there are three National Hockey League games on Wednesday night: Toronto at New Jersey, Minnesota at Dallas, and Detroit at Anaheim. After a slow start to the regular season the Ducks have turned it around of late, picking up the victory in each of their last four games. Anaheim topped Columbus last time out, winning 3-2 on the road.
