In the second hour of Live Bet Sunday on April 26, 2026, hosts Femi and Ben Stevens continue their deep dive into live sports betting with guest Rob Donaldson, a professional sports better, who shares his insights on the MLB slate, including a strong bet on the Cubs to score early against the Dodgers and a favorable outlook on the Oakland Athletics’ World Series value despite a slow start. The conversation shifts to the Stanley Cup playoffs, where the Buffalo Sabres’ dominant 6-0 blowout of the Boston Bruins in Game 4 sets up a pivotal Game 5 in Buffalo, with hosts and analysts debating whether the Sabres’ historic pressure will overwhelm them or if the Bruins can rally. Jonathan Davis, VSiN’s NHL betting analyst, joins in-studio to break down the Avalanche vs. Kings series, advocating for live betting angles, including both teams to score and prop plays on players like Sam Malinsky and Brandon Hagel. The episode closes with a strong first-half performance by the Portland Trail Blazers, who lead the Spurs by 19, sparking a discussion on middle bets and bench production. Key takeaways include: 1) The Sabres’ Game 5 in Buffalo is a high-pressure, high-value betting opportunity with potential for market distortion; 2) The LA Kings, despite being heavy underdogs, are worth betting on for a live upset due to their defensive grit and emotional stakes; 3) The Blazers’ bench and three-point shooting are the keys to their playoff success; 4) Rob Donaldson’s confidence in the Athletics’ late-season surge offers strong long-term World Series value; 5) Jonathan Davis emphasizes live betting on prop plays and both-teams-to-score markets in closeout games. The overall sentiment is positive, with hosts energized by the drama, momentum shifts, and strategic betting opportunities across multiple sports.
Buffalo Sabres’ Game 5 in Buffalo presents a high-value, high-pressure betting opportunity with potential for market distortion.
The LA Kings are worth betting on for a live upset against the heavily favored Avalanche, especially given emotional stakes and defensive style.
The Portland Trail Blazers’ bench and three-point shooting are the primary drivers of their playoff success.
The Oakland Athletics remain a strong long-term World Series value despite a slow start, with a young core and improving rotation.
Live betting on prop plays like both teams to score and player-specific props (e.g., Malinsky, Hagel) offers high upside in closeout games.
