2010 Kentucky Derby Odds, NBA Picks From Bodog Sportsbook

No stranger to the winner's circle, Lookin At Lucky has been a top contender since his 2-year-old season in which he won four races in a row, including two consecutive Grade 1 titles. This year, Bob Baffert's trainee hasn't been perfect – coming in third in the $750,000 Gr. 1 Santa Anita Derby in his last outing on April 3 – but he has demonstrated grit and determination and the ability to rally in less-than-ideal circumstances, qualities that will serve him well in a loaded Derby field. He can also win on dirt as well as synthetics.

A son of Smart Strike, Lookin At Lucky turned in a 6-furlong work at Churchill Downs on Saturday, April 21, clocking in at 1:12.16 under exercise rider Dana Barnes. On May 1, he will have the services of Garrett Gomez, who has ridden him exclusively. Gomez himself has much to prove, having turned in a questionable ride in Lookin at Lucky's second career loss.

Lookin At Lucky goes into the Derby atop the graded stakes earnings list with $1,480,000 and a 2010 record of 2-1-0-1.

Struggling Baltimore will try to get things back on track on MLB odds this Tuesday when they host the Yankees.

Phil Hughes (2-0, 2.19 ERA) should make his third start of the season for New York. Hughes has been great this season and is coming off a one-hit, one-run, 7.1 inning effort against Oakland.

The righthander has faced Baltimore eight times (five starts) with poor results. Hughes is 2-2 with a 6.92 ERA in those games.

Kevin Millwood (0-3, 3.38 ERA) will get the call for Baltimore. Despite pitching pretty well so far this season, Millwood has guided Baltimore to losses in all four of his starts. He allowed four runs in eight innings against Seattle last week.

Millwood is 2-4 with a 4.86 ERA in nine career starts against the Yankees.

Bodog also takes a look at the Lakers vs. Thunder match-up.

The Lakers and Thunder have only been able to win at home in this NBA playoff series, which is tied 2-2. Will the trend continue on Monday night?

If one trend leads the way in this series, it's poor shooting. Los Angeles hit just 41.5 percent of its shots in Game 4. Oklahoma City, which won 110-89, was just 40.8 percent from the field. Kevin Durant led the way with 22 points. Russell Westbrook chipped in 18 points, eight rebounds, and six assists, but much of the damage was done by the bench. Guard James Harden scored 15 off the pine, while Eric Maynor posted 13 of his own.

Kobe Bryant scored just 12 points for Los Angeles. Pau Gasol had only 13 points and four rebounds, but neither was as bad as Ron Artest. Artest scored just five points on 2-9 shooting.

Now to the Spurs vs. Mavericks.

The Spurs own a commanding 3-1 lead in this best-of-seven NBA playoff series after winning Game 4 92-89. The set resumes on Tuesday night.

San Antonio has won three straight in this series. On Sunday, it was George Hill playing the role of hero. Hill—who has been very impressive this year since taking over for the injured Tony Parker—hadn't played especially well in this series after being hobbled with an ankle injury. He bounced back with a game-high 29 points on Sunday.

Tim Duncan was limited to just four points on 1-9 shooting, but he still contributed with 11 rebounds. Manu Ginobili scored 17 points while Parker added 10 off the bench.

Dirk Nowitzki scored just 17 points on 4-10 shooting. He did grab 11 rebounds, though. Caron Butler tied Nowitzki for the team-lead in scoring with 17 points of his own.

Finally the Heat vs. Celtics: The Heat fought off elimination by the Celtics for one game, but they still face an uphill battle as they trail 3-1 in their NBA playoff series.

Dwyane Wade exploded for 46 points in Game 4, a 101-92 Heat victory. The impressive effort including 30 second-half points, as Wade picked up the Heat and carried them on his back. Quentin Richardson also came through in the clutch, delivering 20 points and seven rebounds. Michael Beasley added 15 points for Miami.

Rajon Rondo led the attack for Boston with 23 points and nine assists. Kevin Garnett also looked quite sharp, racking up a double-double with 18 points and 12 boards. Paul Pierce and Ray Allen scored 16 and 15 points, respectively.

Boston needs Miami's three-point shooting to cool off if it's going to finish off this series; the Heat knocked down 10 of their 18 three-point attempts in Game 4.
