UFC Fight Night Perth Betting Picks: Top Bets and Predictions | Deadspin.com  May 10, 2025; Montreal, Quebec, CANADA; Jack Della Maddalena (blue gloves) reacts after defeating Belal Muhammad (not pictured) for the Welterweight Title during UFC 315 at Bell Centre. Mandatory Credit: Eric Bolte-Imagn Images   For the second time in just over three months, the UFC goes “down under” with its Fight Night card this weekend. The Octagon lands in Perth this weekend as UFC Perth takes place on Saturday, May 2, from the RAC Arena.The main event will be a pivotal battle in the welterweight contender scene, as former champion Jack Della Maddalena takes on Carlos Prates.This will be the first fight in JDM’s fifth year with the promotion. He started his UFC tenure 8-0, culminating with his upset of Belal Muhammad at UFC 315 to capture the UFC welterweight championship. This will be JDM’s first fight since dropping the title to Islam Makhachev, which snapped an 18-fight win streak he had since dropping his first two pro bouts.Prates has won two straight and 13 of his last 14 fights. Prates is sporting a 6-1 UFC record, with his sole loss coming to Ian Machado Garry last year. Prates enters this fight off a a second-round knockout of Leon Edwards at UFC 322.The co-main event will be a lightweight bout between Beneil Dariush and Quillan Salkilld. Dariush has lost three of his last four, entering this fight off a knockout loss to Benoit Saint-Denis at UFC 322. Salkilld, who is 11-1, is 4-0 in the UFC, entering this fight off a submission win over Jamie Mullarkey at UFC 325.The rest of the main card features Tim Elliott vs. Steve Erceg, Marwan Rahiki vs. Ollie Schmid, Shamil Gaziev vs. Brando Pericic, and Tai Tuivasa vs. Louie Sutherland.BENEIL DARIUSH VS QUILLAN SALKILLDBeneil Dariush has the experience edge in this matchup by far, and for him this is a fight he needs to “get right.” But Quillan Salkilld is currently one of the fastest rising stars in the sport, earning three finishes and three performance bonuses in his four UFC bouts thus far.For Dariush to succeed, he’ll have to get around Salkilld’s power and three-inch reach advantage, look to get inside and take this fight to the ground. If he can do that, he might be able to go toe-to-toe well with Salkilld in wrestling. But the more the fight is standing and Salkilld is pressuring, it might be too much for the veteran to handle.BET: Salkilld to win in under 1.5 rounds (DraftKings: -140) Our Current Best OffersChannel debug: betting TIM ELLIOTT VS STEVE ERCEGTim Elliott is a veteran who is showing he can still hang on the big stage, entering this fight with four wins in his last five fights, including a submission win over Kai Asakura last time out. Erceg had a notable quick rise up the ranks, needing just three wins to earn a title shot. Erceg even almost beat Alexandre Pantoja for the flyweight title; however, it started a three-fight losing skid that was snapped with a win over Ode’ Osbourne at UFC Vegas 109.These two are both well-rounded, and Elliott seems to stay strong even at 39. This should be a fun, back-and-forth, technical battle, whether this fight is on the feet or on the ground. I’d lean to Erceg, but it’ll be hard for either man to score a finish.BET: Fight to end via decision/points (FanDuel: -190)  Our Current Best OffersChannel debug: betting JUNIOR TAFA VS KEVIN CHRISTIANIt has been a severely tough time for Tafa in the Octagon since his UFC debut in 2023. He is 2-5 in the UFC, bringing his total MMA record down to 6-5. The fun thing about Tafa fighting is that there’s almost certainly going to be a finish. However, while he has the kickboxing background and power in his strikes, Tafa hasn’t done much to impress at either heavyweight or light heavyweight.Christian comes into this bout 9-3 but having lost his UFC debut to Billy Elekana, who also holds a win over Tafa. Christian is also a big finisher, and while he’s less experienced than Tafa overall in combat sports, he’s got a lot of upward momentum between these two – and has a better skillset with his ground game.BET: Christian via KO/TKO/DQ OR Submission (FanDuel: +225) Our Current Best OffersChannel debug: betting   #UFC #Fight #Night #Perth #Betting #Picks #Top #Bets #Predictions #Deadspin.com

Indiana Fever preseason odds, win total, and projected lineup around Caitlin Clark <div><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">The Indiana Fever surprised many last season when the short-handed Fever overcame the Atlanta Dream in the first round of the playoffs. Missing guard Caitlin Clark for all but 13 games due to a season-ending injury, the Fever’s ability to push the eventual champion Las Vegas Aces to a fifth game in the semifinals showed that coach Stephanie White’s team has legit star quality in Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston.</p></div><div><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">With Clark back in the lineup and rested, oddsmakers are projecting a big improvement for this year’s Indiana Fever. FanDuel has odds on <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/wnba?tab=regular-season-wins"><strong>WNBA season-long over/unders</strong></a>, and they project the Fever to win 30.5 games this regular season.</p></div><div><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">Thirty-one wins represents the second-highest projected over/under win total, tied with the Las Vegas Aces, and two fewer than projected for the reloaded New York Liberty. The Fever finished last season in sixth place overall at 24-20. They went 8-5 when Clark was healthy, for a 27-win pace. There’s little room for error in a 44-game schedule, but the Fever should be favored in around 25 games, and they have the combination of talent and coaching to be competitive in all the rest.</p></div><div><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">The Fever will always take their opponent’s best shot because of the extra media attention that Clark brings. But if Mitchell and Boston can continue the momentum they built in last season’s playoff run, they have the pieces in place to finish among the league’s very top teams.</p></div><div><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">The Fever made sure to return their big three of Clark, Mitchell, and Boston. They also held onto guards Lexie Hull and Sophie Cunningham, but some of the team’s depth will be new faces.</p></div><div><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">Indiana lost two key bench contributors when Natasha Howard signed with the Minnesota Lynx and Brianna Turner signed with the Las Vegas Aces. They also lost two players in the WNBA expansion draft, with Chloe Bibby going to the Portland Fire and Kristy Wallace getting selected by the Toronto Tempo.</p></div><div><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">Those minutes will likely go to a combination of offseason additions. Indiana signed veteran two-way forwards <strong>Monique Billings</strong> and <strong>Myisha Hines-Allen </strong>as free agents, and they used their top draft pick on four-year South Carolina product <strong>Raven Johnson</strong>. <strong>Justine Pissott</strong> (Vanderbilt) and <strong>Jessica Timmons</strong> (Alabama) round out a draft class with a clear focus on shooting.</p></div><div><p><h3 class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup">Projected Starting Lineup</h3></p></div> #Indiana #Fever #preseason #odds #win #total #projected #lineup #Caitlin #Clark

F1’s new changes will lead to a more consistent car for the drivers, says former champion Jenson Button <div id="content-body-70929475" itemprop="articleBody"><p>Formula One champion Jenson Button backed the FIA and F1’s recent decision to make tweaks to the new regulations ahead of this weekend’s Miami Grand Prix.</p><p>F1 introduced new hybrid power units for 2026, with 50% of the power coming from electric power as part of its push towards sustainability. However, the new cars have come under intense criticism from drivers who have bemoaned that they are too complex and not fun to drive.</p><p>“It always takes a little bit of time to fine-tune new regulations. You need to see how it plays out first on track to understand what works and what doesn’t. I think the changes we have here will lead to a more consistent car for the drivers. They’ll have a better understanding of what it’s doing. I think they’ll be much happier,” said Button, the 2009 world champion.</p><p>“We want drivers to be out there having fun and enjoying themselves when they’re racing. So it plays a big part in it because when they get out of the car, and they’re unhappy, it doesn’t look great. So yes, I think fine-tuning was necessary,” he added.</p><p>Following the cancellations of the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian GPs, the teams have had a five-week break since the previous round in Japan. Button feels this gap in the calendar would have given teams valuable time to assess things and expects the field to bunch up in Miami.</p><p>“I think we will see the field a bit closer this weekend, especially the top teams. Mercedes, I think, still has a bit of an advantage. But if they slip up, McLaren and Ferrari will be there waiting. This is quite a fun weekend because we have a sprint race. And the Ferraris are very good off the line. So if they get into the lead, it’s going to be difficult to overtake them. I think the F1 break will be positive for racing here in Miami,” the former McLaren driver remarked.</p><p>Commenting on the drivers’ championship battle between Mercedes teammates Andrea Kimi Antonelli and George Russell, Button reckoned that whoever gets on top this weekend could have an advantage.</p><p>“George, he has been very unlucky on a couple of occasions. In qualifying in Shanghai, he had an issue. So he only got out for one lap right at the end. And then in Japan, he obviously got hurt by the safety car. There was a good chance he was going to fight for victory or at least second in that race in front of his teammate.</p><p><b>ALSO READ | <a href="https://sportstar.thehindu.com/motorsport/f1/f1-drivers-welcome-engine-rule-changes-say-more-change-needed-reactions-miami-gp/article70927457.ece" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">F1 drivers welcome rule tweaks, but say more change needed</a> </b></p><p>“I think he’s probably a little bit frustrated knowing that he’s had the pace to win all three races. But he’s a very confident individual. So I’m sure he believes in himself that he can fight for this world championship.</p><p>For Kimi, it’s obviously very different. He’s still so young in this sport. You’ve got to take every moment you can to win races. Even if you get a bit lucky, it doesn’t matter. He was there to pick up the pieces, and he got the job done. So it’s a really exciting battle.”</p><p>“I’m really looking forward to it. I think it’s interesting here in Miami because Kimi was really fast last year. So it’s going to be a tough fight for both of them this weekend. It’s an important weekend. We’re back from a big break. And whoever gets down to the top step of the podium has bragging rights. It gives them a lot more confidence,” said Button.</p><p class="publish-time" id="end-of-article">Published on May 01, 2026</p></div> #F1s #lead #consistent #car #drivers #champion #Jenson #Button

Deadspin | MLB roundup: Giants cap rally from 8-run deficit with walk-off slam  Jun 10, 2026; San Francisco, California, USA; San Francisco Giants designated hitter Bryce Eldrige (8) celebrates as he rounds the bases on a walk-off grand slam for a win against the Washington Nationals during the ninth inning at Oracle Park. Mandatory Credit: Kelley L Cox-Imagn Images   Bryce Eldridge launched a walk-off grand slam with no outs in the bottom of the ninth inning as the San Francisco Giants rallied from an eight-run deficit with 10 runs over the final two innings to shock the visiting Washington Nationals 11-10 on Wednesday.  Matt Chapman and Rafael Devers homered as part of a five-run eighth that got the Giants back in the game. San Francisco plated another run in the ninth before Eldridge lofted a towering drive off Mitchell Parker (2-3) to right that barely cleared the brick wall at Oracle Park.  Eldridge, 21, became the youngest player in major league history to hit a walk-off grand slam, 109 days younger than Roberto Clemente when he did it on July 25, 1956.  Nationals starter Foster Griffin took a four-hit shutout into the sixth before Chapman hit his first homer. Griffin allowed one run on six hits over six innings. Reiver Sanmartin (1-0) threw two innings of one-run ball to win his Giants debut.  Pirates 9, Dodgers 8  On a night when Shohei Ohtani pitched, Tyler Callihan stole the show, hitting the first two home runs of his career, including one off Ohtani, to lead host Pittsburgh to a comeback win over Los Angeles.  Callihan’s three-run homer in the eighth off Kyle Hurt (1-1) put the Pirates ahead 7-6 to complete a comeback from a 6-1 deficit and snap a four-game losing streak. Spencer Horwitz gave Pittsburgh some insurance later in the inning with a two-run homer. Evan Sisk (1-0) picked up a key out in the top of the eighth to record the win.  Ohtani, who had allowed only one run in his previous four starts, gave up four runs (three earned) on six hits over 6 2/3 innings. He also smashed a homer in the ninth. Ryan Ward staked the Dodgers to a 6-1 lead with his first career grand slam.  Angels 3, Astros 2 (10 innings)  Jose Siri singled in automatic runner Nick Madrigal from third in the bottom of the 10th to give Los Angeles a walk-off victory over visiting Houston in the decisive game of a three-game series.  Logan O’Hoppe went 2-for-2 with a home run and Mike Trout homered, walked and stole a base for the Angels. Reid Detmers allowed just one run on one hit over seven innings, and Ryan Zeferjahn (3-3) pitched a hitless 10th inning.  Shay Whitcomb and Cam Smith homered for the Astros, who finished with just four hits. Peter Lambert allowed two runs on five hits over 6 1/3 innings. Bryan Abreu (2-3) allowed Siri’s single.  Rangers 6, Royals 4 (10 innings)  Jake Burger came off the bench and tied the game twice, with a homer and a sacrifice fly, and visiting Texas also took advantage of nine walks allowed by Kansas City to win in 10 innings.  Elias Diaz had a tiebreaking double and Josh Jung drew a bases-loaded walk against Alex Lange (0-3) in the 10th as the Rangers evened the three-game set. Burger, stepping in after Joc Pederson exited due to a sore left hip, delivered with two hits in a game that featured 27 runners left on base.  Rangers reliever Jakob Junis (1-1) threw two scoreless innings. Jac Caglianone had four hits for the Royals, who loaded the bases against Jacob Latz (10 saves) in the 10th but failed to score.  Rockies 3, Cubs 2  Sterlin Thompson lined a pinch-hit single in the ninth inning off Daniel Palencia (1-1) to drive home the winning run, lifting Colorado past Chicago in Denver.  TJ Rumfield homered among his two hits and Hunter Goodman and Ezequiel Tovar also had two hits for the Rockies, who have won the first two games of a three-game series.  The Cubs’ Ian Happ tied it with a home run leading off the top of the ninth against Antonio Senzatela (6-0). Chicago starter Shota Imanaga threw five shutout innings.  Yankees 8, Guardians 4  Jazz Chisholm Jr. had a two-run triple and three RBIs and Trent Grisham scored three times as visiting New York completed a three-game sweep of Cleveland.  Grisham tripled and provided the go-ahead run on Jose Caballero’s sacrifice fly in the sixth inning, when the Yankees scored three times to go up 6-3. Anthony Volpe and Paul Goldschmidt added RBI hits in chasing Guardians starter Parker Messick (6-3).  Messick gave up a career-high five runs (four earned) on five hits over 5 2/3 innings in losing consecutive starts for the first time in his two-year career. New York outscored the Guardians 18-11 during the series, posting its first sweep of Cleveland since April 22-24, 2022.  Athletics 4, Brewers 3  Carlos Cortes and Lawrence Butler each homered in a seventh-inning rally to give the A’s a comeback victory over Milwaukee in the deciding game of the three-game series in Las Vegas.  Alika Williams hit his first career homer, a sixth-inning shot that cut the Athletics’ deficit to 3-1. Cortes greeted reliever Chad Patrick (3-3) in the seventh with a leadoff homer, and Butler added a two-run shot in the frame. Scott Barlow (2-0) got two outs for the win.  Gary Sanchez and Jackson Chourio went deep for the Brewers. Brandon Sproat limited the A’s to a run on four hits in six innings.  Rays 7, Red Sox 5  Drew Rasmussen struck out a career-high 13 batters over seven scoreless innings, and Tampa Bay held on for a win over Boston to complete a sweep in St. Petersburg, Fla.

Nick Fortes went 4-for-4 with three runs to lead the Rays, including doubles in his first two at-bats. Yandy Diaz added a 3-for-5 showing with one run and two RBIs.   The Red Sox plated five runs in the final two innings on a pair of solo homers from Caleb Durbin and a three-run shot from Ceddanne Rafaela. However, Cedric Mullins’ two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth proved to be the difference for the Rays.  Padres 5, Reds 4  Fernando Tatis Jr. hit a game-ending solo home run with two outs in the ninth inning as San Diego rallied past visiting Cincinnati.  Gavin Sheets and Samad Taylor each drove in runs in the eighth to tie the score 4-4 as the Padres won for just the fourth time in 16 games. Wandy Peralta (1-0) delivered a scoreless top of the ninth.  JJ Bleday, Eugenio Suarez and Spencer Steer hit home runs for the Reds, who lost their fourth consecutive series. Chase Petty (0-1) served up Tatis’ blast.  Marlins 8, Diamondbacks 0  Kyle Stowers and Owen Caissie hit two-out homers in a six-run fourth inning, Otto Lopez had two hits and two RBIs, and host Miami beat Arizona to extend its winning streak to four games.  Liam Hicks and Heriberto Hernandez each had two hits and scored twice for the Marlins. William Kempner (1-0), the third of four Miami pitchers, tossed two innings for his first major league win.  Gabriel Moreno had two of the six hits amassed by the Diamondbacks, who have lost four of five. Ryne Nelson (2-5) permitted seven runs on eight hits in four innings.  Orioles 7, Mariners 2  Brandon Young threw seven shutout innings, Pete Alonso broke a scoreless tie with a sixth-inning home run and Jackson Holliday added a grand slam as Baltimore halted a four-game losing streak by beating visiting Seattle.  Young (5-1) held the Mariners to two hits. Alonso, Leody Taveras and Tyler O’Neill all had two hits for the Orioles, while Alonso and Taveras each scored two runs.  The Mariners, who lost for only the fourth time in the past 15 games, plated their only two runs in the eighth inning on a Julio Rodriguez RBI groundout and a Josh Naylor single. George Kirby (5-6) allowed seven hits and three runs in six innings.  Twins 6, Tigers 4  Byron Buxton hit his team-high 20th home run, a three-run shot, and visiting Minnesota held off Detroit to level the three-game series.

Phillies 7, Blue Jays 4  Alec Bohm, Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber homered to lead Philadelphia to a rubber-match win over host Toronto.  Bohm’s three-run shot in the third extended the Phillies’ lead to 4-0. Jesus Luzardo (5-4) allowed one run on four hits in 5 2/3 innings. Philadelphia right fielder Adolis Garcia left the game after pulling a muscle in his right shoulder in the seventh inning.  Toronto’s Max Scherzer (1-4), making his first start since April 24, struck out the first batter of the game to become the 11th pitcher in major league history to reach 3,500 strikeouts. However, he allowed five runs and five hits in 3 1/3 innings.
