• Two top teams face off in the Czech Extraliga as Kotlarka Prague has -150 odds as the favorite against Eagles Prague.

LAS VEGAS - The Daily Sports Betting Preview is back, and once again covers three interesting sports betting opportunities today.

First, the PGA Travelers Championship begins today, and the Preview takes a look at some head to head betting action.

Then, the English Premier League provides bettors with an interesting match between Southampton and Arsenal.

Finally, the Preview takes a look at baseball as played in the Czech Republic’s Extraliga competition.

There’s a lot to cover, so let’s get started!

Travelers Championship Head To Head

The return of the PGA has gone mostly without incident up until this point, although Brooks Koepka’s caddy recently tested positive for COVID-19.

The PGA Tour is in its third week of return, and Koepka is joined by several other golfers in not participating in this event due to the positive tests of those around them.

That said, the PGA Tour still seems set to continue, and the Travelers Championship provides some unique and interesting betting opportunities at USA online sportsbooks.

Head to Head betting is a good way for golf bettors to manage their bankrolls, and focus on smaller plays throughout the day.

This edition of the Preview will now take a look at some head to head odds for the Travelers Championship.

Trios betting is an interesting method of handling head to head betting matchups when it comes to betting on golf.

The basic idea here is that bets are placed on moneylines regarding which of these three men will come out ahead in their trio by the end of the day.

In this trio, the lead is held by Colin Morikawa, who has +150 odds to have the best score of the three.

Dustin Johnson is right behind him, with +160 odds, and after an up and down performance last week, Jordan Spieth brings up the rear with +210 odds.

English Premier League Betting

There are some very high profile games in the Premier League this week, and today’s featured game might have gone under the radar a little bit as a result.

Arsenal has not had the best of seasons - the team is in 11th place, which is a sharp fall from even a few years ago, and one Arsenal fans will not be happy with.

This week, they face off against Southampton, in a battle that should be closer this year than it ever was in the last decade or so.

Indeed, the spread for this match is an incredible 0.0 goals.

There is some very mild shading on that line, wherein Arsenal -0 has -115 odds and Southampton -0 has -105 odds.

The moneyline odds, meanwhile, look a little bit different:

This provides some interesting incentives to sports bettors. The spread being zero means one can effectively bet on either team, with lower odds, and get value out of getting a push if they draw.

The question for soccer bettors when it comes to this match is how exactly they’d like to risk their money.

A soccer bettor who is certain of an Arsenal victory could bet on them on the moneyline, and receive more profitable odds than the spread, but also run the risk of losing their money if a draw occurred.

One who is less sure could bet on them on the spread, and at least receive their money back if the game ends in a draw. The tradeoff, of course, is reduced profits for a win.

Overall, this provides a very compelling betting opportunity as far as soccer betting goes, and the game itself should be quite compelling as well.

Czech Extraliga Betting

The MLB has announced that it will be returning in mid-July, so until then, many baseball bettors still have to focus on external leagues.

The Czech Republic’s Extraliga is one of those leagues that has gotten a little more attention from sports bettors in recent months due to MLB’s labor dispute and the COVID-19 pandemic.

These are two of the best teams in the Extraliga, at least looking at record so far this year.

Kotlarka are 7-1 so far in the season, which has only lasted eight games, and occupy the top spot in the Extraliga at the moment.

Eagles, on the other hand, are 6-2, and coming off of a tough 1-2 loss to Draci Brno six days ago.

Kotlarka are 5-0 in their last five games, while Eagles are 4-1, with the aforementioned loss to Draci Brno.

The Extraliga works such that the top six teams move into the Winner’s Stage, while the bottom four teams move into relegation.

This matchup features two teams that are aiming to make it to the Winner’s Stage, and have put together seasons that should take them there so far.

Overall, this looks like a compelling baseball betting opportunity for baseball bettors to take advantage of while they wait for MLB’s return.

Happy Betting!
