Los Angeles Kings vs New York Rangers Tips

These are two middling teams, according to their expected goal differences. The 2-5-2 Los Angeles Kings are clear underdogs against the New York Rangers, who are without several players, including Igor Shesterkin and Joe Veleno.

Sitting 7-5-1 straight-up, the Rangers are also 8-5 against the spread. New York is a top 10 offence in shot quality so far this season, but they are facing an elite defence in the Kings.

Los Angeles has consistently hit the under due to its poor offence and top-tier defence. Six of their last seven games have gone under this line and is worth considering if betting on ice hockey today.

Tampa Bay Rays vs Milwaukee Brewers Tips

Game 3 is in must-win territory for the Tampa Bay Rays after suffering tight losses in Games 1 and 2 over the weekend. Tampa Bay is handing the ball to ALCS MVP Freddy Peralta to take on Robert Gasser.

The Milwaukee Brewers surged from 4-0 down to beat the Rays on Saturday. Their bullpen has outperformed Tampa Bay’s so far in this series, but the Rays have a clear edge in the starting pitching matchup in Game 3.

Returning to Tropicana Field and with Peralta on the mound, we fancy the Rays to get back in this series.

Philadelphia Eagles vs Dallas Cowboys Tips

The Philadelphia Eagles are going into Monday Night Football without Jalen Hurts or DeVonta Smith. Saquon Barkley sounds like he will play, but there’s uncertainty around his availability at the time of writing.

Philadelphia is a 4.5-point underdog against the Dallas Cowboys, even with both teams owning 2-4 records. Dallas is 32nd in EPA per play on defence, but Dak Prescott’s offence remains dynamic, with one of the best EPA play marks in the NFL.

Dallas has been a disappointment. Home advantage is a factor to consider for these Eagles. Still, it’s been a nightmare start to the season for Philadelphia, and we fancy the Cowboys to cover this spread in NFL odds at William Hill.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs Minnesota Timberwolves Tips

Since the start of last season, the Cleveland Cavaliers have an NBA-worst 3-14 record against the spread with a rest disadvantage and that is well worth noting for NBA betting punters. These Minnesota Timberwolves blew out the Toronto Raptors on Sunday night to move to 3-0.

Minnesota has won all three games comfortably. None of their starters played more than 31 minutes on Sunday. The Timberwolves are 7-7 on the second night of a back-to-back against the spread since the start of 2025/26 and 13-15 with a rest disadvantage.

This is a difficult matchup for Cleveland given their limitations guarding talented perimeter players. It’s hard to see how they keep Anthony Edwards and LaMelo Ball quiet, while Jaden McDaniels and Ayo Dosunmu are great options to throw at Donovan Mitchell and James Harden.
