Each season, the NHL presents the Calder Memorial Trophy to the rookie who has the strongest season. Several talented rookies are poised to headline the exciting race in 2023-24. Connor Bedard is the clear favorite to win the 2023-24 Calder Trophy for the NHL player deemed most proficient in his first season. Is there a world where another player…

The last time Washington Capitals defenseman Erik Gustafsson took the ice, he dropped a hat trick against one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference; outscoring the Toronto Maple Leafs on his own in a 5-2 victory. Even crazier? The three goals for Gustafsson were his first three of the season! It's the second hat trick in the last week for the…

Seven games take the ice tonight in the NHL this Wednesday evening, with a fantastic matchup shaping up out in Denver between two of the top squads in their respective conferences. The 20-3-1 Boston Bruins head to the rockies to take on the Colorado Avalanche, who will be without star center Nathan MacKinnon for the next month with an upper body…

It's a four-game slate of action in the National Hockey League this Wednesday, with two nationally televised TNT matchups on the dockett. The Buffalo Sabres look to try and turn things around after going 2-7-1 in their last 10 matchups when they head to Detroit to face the surprisingly hot Red Wings in an Atlantic Division matchup. Detroit fell in…

It's a lonely three-game slate this Wednesday evening in the National Hockey League, with two games in the national spotlight on TNT. The dissapointing St. Louis Blues head to Chicago to face the surprising Chicago Blackhawks in the early game from the United Center. Chicago was expected to be amongst the worst teams in the NHL this year, but…

The Philadelphia Phillies played their own version of "Home Run Derby" on Tuesday night, with four different batters leaving the ballpark in their 7-0 victory over the Houston Astros in Game 3. They weren't the only ones celebrating their victory, as both BetSided's Peter Dewey and Donnavan Smoot hit on their picks of Bryce Harper (+360) and Kyle…

The NBA's greatest soap opera, the Brooklyn Nets, is back for another season. The Nets went through a stand-off between Kevin Durant, the owner Joe Tsai and head coach Steve Nash, with the Nets ultimately winning that match. With Durant still in the building, the Nets still have Kyrie Irving - who can play full-time this season. They'll also be…

I've been a capper since my love for sports met my proficiency with numbers and math. The NFL and NCAAF have always been my first loves, followed by the NHL. Although I prefer sports that involve hitting people, I still love capping MLB, soccer, tennis, and even some esports. Living in Florida has its perks like year-round sports of any kind. It's…

The Boston Celtics have been in the news for all the wrong reasons. Head coach Ime Udoka has been suspended for the entire season, and we're still waiting for more news to come out on that. His actions have overshadowed the fact the Celtics are one of the best young teams in the league and are coming off an NBA Finals appearance. Even without Udoka…

The Orlando Magic won the first pick in the draft, pulled an okie-doke on the entire NBA media and drafted Paolo Banchero first overall. This year, the Magic are slated to be better. But what is a realistic ceiling for Orlando? Personnel-wise, nothing has drastically changed. This is still a young team with what feels like a locker room of rejects.…

After our first time swinging and missing on all of our "Daily Dinger" picks this week, the bulk of the crew is back to give it a shot on a 13-game MLB slate today. We've got one afternoon matchup out in Kansas City, followed by several early evening matchups with all sorts of juicy pitching matchups and some helpful weather to boot. Here are our…

The BetSided crew got back on the "Daily Dinger" board Tuesday night from Coors Field in Denver, as Donnavan Smoot's selection of slugger C.J. Cron blasted one out at+300 odds. With just a few weeks to go, the standings in our in-house contest are starting to get real interesting. BetSided's Ben Heisler remains in first with 20, Peter Dewey and…

Things are starting to heat up for the final stretch of the season in our best "Daily Dinger" selections! BetSided's Iain MacMillan went deep for the second straight day as Vladimir Guerrero Jr. smoked one out for the Toronto Blue Jays at+340 odds on Wednesday evening. Then later on, Donnavan Smoot's selection of Jonah Heim of the Texas Rangers…

Typically in the Daily Dinger picks, we're thrilled if one of us chooses a player a big odds to hit a home run. Yesterday, however, we nearly went for the sweep. Four out of our five "Daily Dinger" selections hit home runs, with Josh Jung of the Texas Rangers the only one not to leave the ballpark. Can we stay hot with another set of picks this…

Our Daily Dinger home run prop picks stayed hot again on Monday night, as Ben Heisler's selection of Pirates slugger Rodolfo Castro paid off against left-hander Mike Minor in Cincinnati. With the full team back in action, we've got two plays on one red-hot hitter on the road in Detroit, a bet on the best home run hitter in the game to deliver in a…

After a weekend away to get ready for the start of the NFL season, the "Daily Dinger" contest makes it triumphant return this Monday to help add a little juice to the start of the week. Iain MacMillan kept the fun going our last time out, selecting Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa to leave the yard, getting our guy to double digits on the…

BetSided's Peter Dewey picked New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge to go yard on Wednesday, and he delivered! Problem was, BetSided Managing Editor, Ben Heisler goofed up and put the pick in for the wrong game; highlighting Judge to go deep in Game 2 of their doubleheader vs. the Minnesota Twins. The unofficial BetSided Team of Editors that all…

Yikes... yesterday wasn't a great day for us. We went 1-4, with Michael Kopech's Strikeout OVER being the only winner for us. It's a small slate today and hopefully that helps us lock in on the best props on the board. It's a simple day for us. We have four props -- three strikeout props and one earned run prop. Let's get to this bounce back…

We hit on our biggest home run underdog of the season in "Daily Dinger" picks yesterday, as Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette continued his red-hot pace with his fourth home run in two games Tuesday night in Baltimore against the Orioles. With an active slate of games this Wednesday, here are our favorite picks for September 7 to leave the…

Monday was a first in "Daily Dinger" history for the BetSided team, and it wasn't something to be particularly proud of. All three of our hitters' teams that we picked to leave the yard were shut out by the opposing team. That's no bueno. Then again, our Monday run of success was bound to slow down at some point, having hit on three consecutive…

After a red-hot start to the week with multiple home runs on Monday and Tuesday night in our "Daily Dinger" selections, the BetSided team went 0-for on Wednesday night. For Thursday's smaller slate, we're attacking two teams down south with two hitters on the opposing side that have each hit 20-plus dingers on the season; both offered at very solid…

Monday's short slate of games did not produce a winning day for us at BetSided in the "Daily Dinger" selections, but with 16 games on tap this Tuesday, we're doubling up our picks that could hit big. For today's top MLB home run props, we're zoning in on two NL East mashers from the right side of the plate against two struggling left-handers, while…
