We’re a little short on time today, so we’ll do the last MLB futures of this week either tomorrow or Saturday.
New York (NL) at Arizona
Yes, yes, the Mets, but we’re getting Nolan McLean against Ryne Nelson at –126.
Pick: New York to win –126. 8.95 units to win 7.10.
NBA Finals
The usual.
A win tonight would be really nice.
Pick: New York to win +800. 2.00 units to win 16.00.
Stanley Cup
More on Buffalo here, but a little more on Montreal as well. Gelo is adjusting to the Hurricanes’ dominance, but it has a ways to go. Markets are undervaluing the aspect of this where the Sabres/Habs winner will probably outperform expectations and thereby raise future expectations.
Pick: Buffalo to win +800. 1.00 unit to win 8.00.
Pick: Montreal to win +2000. 1.00 unit to win 20.00.

These numbers are for the 2025–26 effort, which is currently scheduled to end at the end of the NBA Finals or Stanley Cup Final (whichever comes second). Sorry for the poor transparency. We’ll do a better job tracking the 2026–27 campaign, which is already underway with our MLB futures portfolio.
2025–26: –656.17 units (started with 1,000-unit bankroll)
2025–26: –7% average ROI (weighted by unit; sample size: 1,132 single-game markets plus seven completed futures portfolios)
Pre-2025: 0% average ROI (worse when limited to only sports)
Units taken from best odds we can find at major sportsbooks available to most Americans.
