Arkansas sports betting preview

The Thunder don't play tonight, but Oklahoma City fans don't need to wait until Wednesday to start locking in your sports betting picks. After a 122-115 double-overtime upset loss to the Spurs on Monday, the Thunder are 6.5-point favorites at home in the latest Thunder vs. Spurs odds at DraftKings ahead of their Wednesday Game 2 matchup. The over/under is set at 215.5 points for NBA betting. Even with the Game 1 loss, the Thunder are still the favorites to win the series at -115 odds, compared to the Spurs as -105 underdogs. OKC is the +125 favorite to win the NBA Finals for futures betting at DraftKings.

Speaking of disappointments, it's been a rough start for the Kansas City Royals (20-28), who finally snapped a six-game losing streak with a 2-0 win Sunday to avoid being swept by the Cardinals. The Royals' slow start has moved their playoff odds to +270 at DraftKings, and they play another of the more disappointing teams in the AL on Tuesday – the Boston Red Sox. Kansas City has a challenging matchup Tuesday, though, with Boston starting Ranger Suarez, who hasn't allowed a run over 17 1/3 innings in his last three starts. For MLB betting, the Red Sox are -129 favorites, with the Royals listed as +107 underdogs in the latest Tuesday MLB odds at DraftKings. The Cardinals are in action against the Pirates on Tuesday as well, and both Pittsburgh and St. Louis are priced at -110 odds. Check out the brand new DraftKings Arkansas promo code to get $100 in bonus bets instantly with a $5 wager:
