[Get Exclusive Tips on our Patreon, Ad-Free]
The NBA Playoffs and NHL Playoffs are in full-swing so there is a ton of sports to sink your teeth into in the month of May. There will be important games on just about every day with the second round of the NBA and first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs all taking place this month. We have daily NBA Playoff tips on our Patreon.
We also have a full slate of baseball and as the weather gets warmer, the games get better. The Yankees, Brewers, Mets, and Angels have all started hot. While early season favorite White Sox, Astros, and Braves have all disappointed early. Still a lot of baseball to be played, but every game matters. We post MLB tips nearly every day of the season on Patreon.
It’s a big month of golf as well with the PGA Championship taking place from May 19th to the 22nd. Graeme will be covering this event as well as other events this month on Patreon.
In addition to that, we have some big racing events with three Formula 1 races, the Indianapolis 500, and plenty of NASCAR.
Plus, huge events from AEW, UFC, Bellator, WWE, the French Open, and much more.
