Inter Milan vs. Juventus Serie A SGP picks Feb. 14: Bet on Lautaro Martinez, Jonathan David at +380

Inter Milan vs. Juventus picks

Inter Milan and Juventus meet for a heavyweight Serie A clash at San Siro Stadium on Saturday.

The pregame narrative: This San Siro held the 2026 Winter Olympic opening ceremony last week, and now it’s the amphitheatre for the Derby d’Italia. Inter Milan tops the Serie A table with just one loss on the season, and is even money to pick up three points this weekend.

Check out my Inter Milan vs. Juventus picks for the match on Feb. 14, featuring Lautaro Martinez and Jonathan David.

Inter Milan vs. Juventus picks

SGP: Inter Milan to win | Martinez to score or assist | David over 1.5 shots (+380)

Inter Milan to win (+100): Inter Milan has been nearly infallible at home this season, and enters this matchup in top form.

  • The Nerazzurri are 9-1-2 at home in Serie A fixtures, with the only loss coming in a derby game to AC Milan.
  • They have won five straight across all competitions heading into Saturday’s match with Juventus.
  • In those games, Inter sports a +14 goal differential.

-> Don’t miss out — bet on Inter Milan vs. Juventus!

Luciano Spalletti will want to exact some revenge against his former squad, but Juventus’s manager will be missing some key attacking players.

Star striker Dusan Vlahovic remains sidelined alongside backup Arkadiusz Milik.

Inter is 2-1-0 in its last three meetings against Juventus at the San Siro, with a 4-4 draw at the beginning of last season as the outlier.

But the Nerazzurri have allowed the fewest xG in Serie A (18.8) and have the highest xG differential (29.3) as a result, per FotMob. So don’t expect Inter to be pulling the ball out of its net often.

Serie A SGP predictions

Martinez to score or assist (+120): If Inter Milan is going to win, expect production out of Inter’s captain.

Martinez currently leads Serie A with 14 goals, eight clear of the next closest players. He also sits near the top, or at the top, for these statistical categories:

  • 1st in Goals + assists (18)
  • 1st in xG on target (11.0)
  • 2nd in xG (11.3)
  • 2nd in big chances missed (15)

-> See all betting odds for Serie A Matchday 25!

The Argentine has cashed this wager in four of his last five starts and seven of his last 10.

Jonathan David prop bet

David over 1.5 shots (-250): This is a solid way to gain exposure on Juventus without backing any player to directly produce.

David is heating up after a very slow start to the season for Juventus. The Canadian has four goals and three assists in his last eight starts, and is firmly entrenched in Spalletti’s starting XI.

-> Wager on Serie A matches at NorthStar Bets

All I’m asking out of David is two shot attempts. He has delievered on that front in six of his last eight starts, with two plus shots on target in five of those games.

Dallas Open tennis picks Feb. 13: Best bets on Davidovich Fokina vs. Shapovalov, Kecmanovic vs. Shelton

Dallas Open tennis picks

The Dallas Open quarterfinal is on Friday, with two afternoon matches and two primetime duels.

The pregame narrative: I’m focusing on the night session for these picks, which features a matchup between reigning champion Denis Shapovalov and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. The Canadian is a slight favourite in what should be a close match.

Check out my top Dallas Open tennis picks for Feb. 13, featuring a pick on Miomir Kecmanovic vs. Ben Shelton.

-> Join NorthStar Bets & bet on the Australian Open

Dallas Open tennis picks

Best bet: Davidovich Fokina to win (+116)

Davidovich Fokina has my attention this year.

The Spaniard sits at a career-best No. 14 on the ATP rankings after going 44-26 in 2025. He struggled to close out tournaments, making four finals and losing all of them, but getting there is half the battle.

It’s worth noting that all of those finals were on hard courts, where Davidovich Fokina has his best surface winning percentage (60.5%).

He beat some strong competition in the run-up to those finals, including Shelton, Casper Ruud, Taylor Fritz (twice), and Shapovalov.

-> Check out the Dallas Open schedule

Shapovalov has really struggled to beat top-end competition as of late. Over the last 52 weeks, he is 1-6 against players in the top 20, including 0-5 on hard court.

On top of that, he is a pedestrian 3-2 this year, losing in straight sets to Martin Cilic in the second round of the Australian Open while being broken six times.

The Canadian does have good vibes at this venue, but I expect his title defence to end on Friday.

Key stat: Davidovich Fokina is 36-21 on hard courts since the start of last year.

Ben Shelton Dallas Open predictions

Kecmanovic vs. Shelton under 22.5 games (-137): Shelton has a habit of destroying lesser-ranked competition on hard courts, and I think this match should be over quickly.

  • On hard courts, Shelton is 18-5 against players outside of the ATP top 20 since entering the top 10 last July. He won 13 of those matches in straight sets.
  • In that span, this under is 12-3 in best-of-three matches on hardcourts when Shelton plays someone outside of the top 20.

-> See the latest betting lines for today’s Dallas Open matches!

Kecmanovic and Shelton have never done battle before, but I think the American has a clear advantage.

Shelton is ninth in serve rating over the last 52 weeks and has a whopping 36 aces over his two matches played at this event.

Kecmanovic is a pedestrian 44th in return rating. He did just beat Tommy Paul, but Shelton is on a different level than his countryman.

Fans itching for star power in the dunk contest will have to wait another year (or perhaps 10, the way things are going).

The participants are combining to average 18.3 PPG — but that doesn’t mean they can’t throw down.

Bryant was selected 14th overall by the Spurs last year despite only starting five collegiate games with the Arizona Wildcats. San Antonio loved his skill set, which is anchored by incredible raw athletic ability.

Hayes, at 7 feet, is the tallest of the competitors. With a 34.5-inch vertical, we might be seeing Dwight Howard-lite on the court.

WBC odds and favourites for 2026 tournament

USA World Baseball Classic odds and roster: +115

  • Team USA is in pole position following its heartbreaking loss in 2023. The two best pitchers in baseball, Tarik Skubal and Paul Skenes, top an elite pitching staff with bullpen arms Mason Miller and Gabe Spier locking down the backend.
  • Bobby Witt Jr. and Aaron Judge are among the biggest returning bats, with some new faces joining the ranks. Cal Raleigh, Gunnar Henderson, and Bryce Harper (who missed 2023 due to injury) make their WBC debuts.

-> Bet on the World Baseball Classic now!

Japan World Baseball Classic odds and roster: +315

  • Los Angeles Dodgers superstars Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto are the biggest names on Japan’s roster. Ohtani will not be pitching this time around, slotting the four-time MVP as DH.
  • Teruaki Sato headlines those joining from Nippon Professional Baseball. The reigning Central League MVP winner hit 40 home runs with a .924 OPS last year.
  • Japan has won three of the last four WBCs.

Dominican Republic World Baseball Classic odds and roster: +400

  • How’s this for a Big Three: Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Juan Soto, Fernando Tatis Jr. The Dominican Republic boast some big bats, all of whom are proven performers in the clutch.
  • The squad’s biggest weakness is its starting pitching, with Cristopher Sanchez, Luis Severino and Brayan Bello topping the rotation.

Canada WBC roster and odds

  • Canada is a long shot to win the WBC at 45-to-1.
  • Cal Quantrill, Jameson Taillon, Michael Soroka and James Paxton (AKA Big Maple) top the rotation.
  • Freddie Freeman will not play this tournament due to personal reasons. The Naylor brothers, Josh and Bo, lead the MLB bats with Abraham Toro and Tyler O’Neill also suiting up.

Blue Jays futures markets 2026 season: Win totals, playoff odds, player props, and more

Blue Jays futures

Pitchers and catchers have reported across MLB, meaning the Toronto Blue Jays will be back on the diamond soon.

Toronto was agonizingly close to winning it all last year, pushing the Los Angeles Dodgers to the brink in Game 7 of the World Series. The Jays opened the war chest in the offseason, signing over $300 million of new contracts with the hope of repeating as American League champions, and then some.

How will Toronto stack up against the rest of MLB? Let’s check out some Blue Jays futures markets for the 2026 season.

-> Join NorthStar Bets & bet on the Jays to win the World Series!

Blue Jays futures

Will coming inches away from winning a World Series haunt Blue Jays fans forever? Probably. But I want to focus on the positives.

At this time last year, Toronto was looking to rebound from a disasterous 2024 campaign. The oddsmakers didn’t give the Jays much of a thought to make the postseason, let alone the World Series:

  • 80.5 win total
  • +270 to make the playoffs
  • +1,000 to win the AL East
  • +2,000 to win the AL pennant
  • +6,500 to win the World Series

Things were looking grim for MLB’s lone squad north of the border, but the Jays went on an improbable run and are now among the favourites to get back to the Fall Classic after an active offseason.

Blue Jays team futures and analysis

Toronto blew by its win total last year, posting a 94-68 record en route to securing the American League’s top seed.

The recipe? Strong starting pitching and an offence that put the ball in play with force. General manager Ross Atkins doubled down on that strategy with his offseason acquisitions:

  • Offseason additions: Dylan Cease, Kazuma Okamoto, Cody Ponce, Tyler Rogers.
  • Offseason departures: Bo Bichette, Max Scherzer, Chris Bassitt, Seranthony Domnguez, Isiah Kiner-Falefa.

Cease had the second-best K/9 rate in MLB last year (11.5) and secured Cy Young votes in two of the last four seasons.

He and Ponce slot into a rotation featuring Kevin Gausman, Trey Yesavage, Shane Bieber, and Jose Berrios — making it easily a top-five unit in baseball.

Okamoto, a super-utility man from Japan (NPB), has six 30-homer seasons under his belt. Last year, he slashed .322/.411/.581 with an 11.4% K rate overseas.

I’d venture to say Toronto improved its roster from Game 7 to today, even without re-signing Bo Bichette and missing out on Kyle Tucker.

-> Don’t miss out — bet on Toronto to win the AL East today!

But this is the AL East, and the competition wasn’t asleep at the wheel.

New York re-signed Cody Bellinger and has Gerrit Cole returning, Baltimore brought in Bassitt and Pete Alonso while also making a flurry of trades, and Boston bolstered its rotation with Ranger Suarez.

FanGraphs (ZiPS) projects four AL East teams to win between 83.6 and 86.1 games, with Toronto (84.7) sitting second to New York.

Can Guerrero win MVP?

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. elevated into true superstar status with a historic postseason run.

He currently sits sixth on the AL MVP odds board behind Aaron Judge, Bobby Witt Jr., Cal Raleigh, Nick Kurtz and Julio Rodriguez.

Guerrero posted a monster .314/.376/.515 slash line following the 2025 all-star break. The question is, can he sustain that production for a whole season?

Blue Jays player futuresOdds
Guerrero to win AL MVP+1,200

Gausman AL Cy Young+3,000
Yesavage AL Rookie of the Year+350

It’s hard to believe Yesavage is still rookie-eligible after his 2025 postseason run, which included striking out 12 Dodgers in Game 5 of the World Series.

In five playoff starts, Yesavage posted a 3.46 ERA with a 13.5 K/9 rate.

He is the frontrunner to win the AL ROTY and is featured on the AL Cy Young odds board, alongside Gausman.

Mavericks vs. Suns SGP predictiosn Feb. 10: Bet on Mark Williams and Cooper Flagg on Tuesday

Mavericks vs. Suns SGP

The Phoenix Suns welcome the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night for an intra-conference matchup.

The pregame narrative: Dallas has lost seven straight games and seems destined for the draft lottery once again after trading Anthony Davis at the deadline. Phoenix is a stellar 17-9 at home and is laying 8.5 points in the desert.

Check out my Mavericks vs. Suns SGP predictions for Feb. 10, featuring Mark Williams and Cooper Flagg.

-> Join NorthStar Bets to start betting on the NBA

Mavericks vs. Suns SGP

Parlay: Suns -4.5 | Williams double-double | Flagg 1+ threes (+370)

Suns -4.5 (-215): I’ll happily fade the Mavericks right now.

Dallas has looked rudderless in recent weeks and is miserable on the road. The Mavs are 5-16 SU and 7-14 ATS away from American Airlines Centre, losing those games by an average of 5.6 points.

-> Bet on NBA futures at NorthStar Bets

Phoenix has lost two straight, but it was by a combined 10 points against two playoff-calibre teams (Warriors, 76ers).

Devin Booker was sidelined against Golden State and had an uncharacteristically poor shooting night on Saturday vs. Philadelphia (in his return from a two-week injury absence).

The superstar guard did play 32 minutes, though, indicating he’s ready to contribute at a high level.

Phoenix’s larger body of work at home is stellar, and the Suns should coast to a win if Booker plays to his ability.

Embed: #123010

NBA SGP legs

Williams double-double (+155): This is a dream matchup for Williams, who faces a Mavericks team allowing the third-most points and sixth-most rebounds per game to opposing centres.

-> Bet on Mark Williams, Cooper Flagg, and more at Northstar Bets

Dallas has no seven-footers in its active lineup with Davis out of the door and Derick Lively II out for the season. That gives Williams, who stands at 7-foot-1 and weighs 250 pounds, a big size advantage.

Williams has recorded three straight double-doubles and has averaged north of 10.0 PPG in every month this season.

His rebounding average is down from last year, but I’m hoping he can stay hot against the undersized Mavs.

Flagg 1+ threes (-500): Phoenix’s perimeter defence is tough to crack. The squad allows the fourth-fewest 3s per game (12.3) at the fourth-lowest rate (34.7%).

But I’m just asking for one triple out of the Rookie of the Year frontrunner. And the addition of this heavily-juiced prop bumps our SGP from +250 to +370 — well worth it, in my opinion.

-> Full Mavericks vs. Suns prop betting markets

Flagg is shooting 47.6% from deep in his last five games, canning multiple triples four times.

He has reached this milestone in eight straight and 11 of his past 13.

Spurs vs. Lakers SGP picks Feb. 10: Bet on Wembanyama and Castle at +300

Spurs vs. Lakers SGP

The San Antonio Spurs and Los Angeles Lakers close out Tuesday’s four-game NBA slate on the West Coast at 10:30 p.m. ET.

The pregame narrative: Los Angeles played and lost last night, casting some doubt on the availability of its top stars. That includes Luka Doncic, who has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury. San Antonio sports a clean bill of health and is laying 8.5 points on the road.

Check out my Spurs vs. Lakers SGP predictions, featuring prop bets on Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle.

-> Join NorthStar Bets to start betting on the NBA

Spurs vs. Lakers SGP

SGP: Spurs -4.5 | Wembanyama 10+ rebounds | Castle over 17.5 points (+300)

Spurs -4.5 (-235): I wouldn’t be entirely comfortable laying this number if the Lakers were fully healthy.

But L.A. has been tight-lipped about Doncic’s availability, and it’s likely one of, if not both, Austin Reaves (who is on a minutes restriction with a calf injury) or LeBron James (41 years old) will sit on this back-to-back.

-> Build your own NBA SGPs & bet on tonight’s action!

San Antonio has been rolling, with wins in five of its last six games. That includes a 12-point win over the Houston Rockets and a 10-point win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.

OKC and Houston rank first and sixth, respectively, in defensive rating. L.A. is 22nd.

The Spurs have won their last two games against the Lakers by an average of 14.5 points.

NBA SGP pick

Wembaynama 10+ rebounds (-230): Wembanyama ranks fifth in rebounding (11.1/game) heading into tonight’s contest.

-> See player props on Victor Wembanyama, Stephon Castle & more!

Check out his numbers over his last 10 games:

  • 11.8 rebounds/game
  • 10+ rebounds eight times
  • 14+ rebounds four times

Los Angeles is a tough matchup for opposing centres, but Wembanyama isn’t your average centre.

The 7-foot-4 phenom has a big size and reach advantage over anybody, and he has reached this milestone in six of his eight games against L.A.

That includes a 14-rebound performance in their last meeting.

Top Castle prop bet

Castle over 17.5 points (+102): Castle flashed his high-scoring upside on Saturday, dropping 40 points on 78.9% shooting against the Dallas Mavericks.

I don’t expect another 40-piece tonight, but I am confident he can clear this number.

The reigning Rookie of the Year has had at least 15 points in his last five games against the Lakers, giving us a solid floor to work with. He is 3-2 vs. this line in those contests.

-> Bet on tonight’s Spurs vs. Lakers game!

Castle isn’t your typical PG, taking 44% of his shots at the rim, per Cleaning the Glass. That ranks in the 95th percentile among all NBA guards.

Los Angeles has the third-worst rim defence in the NBA (71.6 opponent FG%).
