Washington Nationals vs Los Angeles Dodgers Picks and Predictions April 3, 2026

April 3, 2026 By Scores And Stats | MLB

The Dodgers open their first road series of the season Friday afternoon at Nationals Park, and this is not a soft landing spot even with Los Angeles sitting at 4-2 and first in the NL West. Washington is 3-3, third in the NL East, and this is the Nationals’ home opener after a road-heavy first week. First pitch is set for 1:05 p.m. ET, with streaming on MLB.TV. The market has treated this like a big-chalk Dodgers spot, which makes sense on talent, but maybe not quite as much on price. Los Angeles comes in off a 4-1 loss to Cleveland after dropping two of three in that series, while Washington has lost back-to-back games in Philadelphia, including a 10-inning

New Mexico Lobos vs Tulsa Golden Hurricane Picks and Predictions – April 2, 2026

April 2, 2026 By Scores And Stats | NCAAB

New Mexico and Tulsa meet Thursday night in the NIT semifinals at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, with tipoff set for 7:00 PM ET on ESPN. The Lobos come in at 26-10 after three straight NIT wins, while Tulsa is 29-7 and riding its own three-game run through the bracket. This is the kind of postseason matchup bettors usually like: two efficient offenses, two teams with real guard play, and a number that suggests New Mexico is a small but respected favorite on a neutral floor. There is also a bigger angle here than simply surviving one more round. The winner moves on to the NIT title game on April 5, so motivation is obvious and there is not much reason

Stanford Cardinal vs West Virginia Mountaineers Picks and Predictions – April 2, 2026

April 2, 2026 By Scores And Stats | NCAAB

Stanford and West Virginia meet Thursday night at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas for an 8:00 PM ET neutral-floor matchup that feels tighter than a lot of the board. FS1 has the broadcast. Stanford comes in at 20-12 after a one-point ACC tournament loss to Pitt, while West Virginia is 18-14 and last played in the Big 12 tournament after closing the regular season with a win over UCF. Both teams finished 9-10 in conference play, so this is not one of those spots where one side obviously owns the profile edge. What makes it interesting for bettors is the contrast in style. Stanford is the better perimeter scoring team and plays a bit faster, while West Virginia

Rutgers Scarlet Knights vs Creighton Bluejays Picks and Predictions – April 2, 2026

April 2, 2026 By Scores And Stats | NCAAB

Rutgers and Creighton meet Thursday night at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, with tipoff set for 10:30 p.m. ET on FS1. It is a neutral-floor postseason game between two teams that did not have the regular seasons they wanted, but both still have enough shot-making and guard play to make this matchup interesting for bettors. Rutgers comes in at 14-19 after a rough Big Ten run, while Creighton sits at 15-17 after an uneven Big East season. The market is shading the Bluejays as a short favorite, which feels about right on talent and offensive balance, though not by much. Rutgers has been volatile, but there is at least some recent proof that the Scarlet Knights can still

Illinois State Redbirds vs Auburn Tigers Picks and Predictions – April 2, 2026

April 2, 2026 By Scores And Stats | NCAAB

Illinois State Redbirds and Auburn Tigers meet Thursday night in the NIT semifinals at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, with tipoff set for 9:30 p.m. ET on ESPN. Illinois State enters 23-12 after knocking off Kent State, Wake Forest, and Dayton to reach this stage, while Auburn is 20-16 and into the semis after beating South Alabama, Seattle, and Nevada. This is a neutral-floor game, but the market still treats Auburn like the stronger side, which makes sense given the gap in top-end offensive ceiling. The more interesting betting question is whether Auburn should be laying this kind of number away from Neville Arena against a team that has already won twice on the road in this tournament. Illinois State has
