Top Trend Picks for Tuesday: Haaland to Strike Again in Champions League Semis?

We've shopped the odds and lines at our best sportsbooks in search of today's best sports betting trend picks for Tuesday, May 9. Our top trend picks include offerings from the Champions League, NBA, and MLB.

Pour one out for one of the more amusing trends - and nicknames - in sports. Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis is no longer alternating days. He finally put together two consecutive strong performances and while he still hit the Under on his scoring prop on Monday night, he secured 15 rebounds when we needed Under 14.5 for our parlay.

Luckily, there are still plenty of trends to follow, including a couple of goal-scoring machines entering the semifinal round of the Champions League.

Here are our favorite trend picks for Tuesday, May 9, based on the odds from our best sports betting sites.

Tuesday's best trend picks

• UCL: Erling Haaland anytime goalscorer (+100 via FanDuel)
• NBA: Devin Booker Over 31.5 points (-115 via PointsBet)
• MLB: Masataka Yoshida to record a hit (-235 via BetRivers)

Tuesday's Champions League trend pick

Erling Haaland anytime goalscorer (+100 via FanDuel)

The UEFA Champions League semifinal kicks off Tuesday with a matchup featuring two of the most lethal strikers on the planet.

Manchester City's Erling Haaland has been rewriting record books with his scoring prowess. He broke the Premier League goal-scoring record and has 12 goals in eight Champions League matches. 

Haaland has found the back of the net in all but two Champions League appearances during this run to the semifinal stage and has seven goals in his last three matches, including an incredible five-goal performance against Leipzig.

An anytime goal from Haaland is anywhere from -120 to -133 at most of our best sportsbooks, but FanDuel is offering a goal from the Norwegian at even money.

Not to be forgotten, Real Madrid employs a clinical finisher of their own in Karim Benzema, who has four goals in his last four Champions League appearances. He carries +155 odds to score via FanDuel.

We're banking on goals in our Real Madrid vs. Man City predictions and Haaland and Benzema should feature on the scoresheet.

Tuesday's NBA trend pick

Devin Booker Over 31.5 points (-115 via PointsBet)

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker has announced himself as one of the best players in the Association with his play in these NBA playoffs.

Booker is averaging an absurd 36.8 points per game through nine playoff games and is a top contender by the NBA Finals MVP odds. 

Booker has scored 35-plus points in three consecutive games, including a 47-point night in Game 3 of the Western Conference semifinal series.

He and teammate Kevin Durant have rescued the Suns from an 0-2 series hole and can take a 3-2 lead over the Denver Nuggets with a victory in Game 5 on Tuesday night.

The Nuggets have proven incapable of stopping Booker and Durant, even with little to no help from anyone else on the Suns' roster. We recommend banking on another 30-plus-point night from Booker and would be comfortable betting on him to score 35-plus points at +145 odds at FanDuel.

Tuesday's MLB trend pick

Masataka Yoshida to record a hit (-235 via BetRivers)

The Boston Red Sox are back in action Tuesday and so is hitting machine Masataka Yoshida.

The Red Sox rookie owns MLB's longest active hitting streak at 16 games. He has 28 hits and a .438 batting average during that span.

He'll be facing Atlanta Braves righty Charlie Morton on Tuesday and while the 39-year-old owns a 3-3 record and 3.38 ERA, his WHIP is at 1.44, his highest mark since 2012.

Morton throws his curveball 45% of the time and a four-seam fastball 31% of the time. Yoshida owns a .333 batting average against the curve and .431 against four-seamers this year. 

Yoshida's hit prop is juiced to -235 at BetRivers. We'd also be comfortable taking the Sox outfielder to record two-plus hits at +195 via FanDuel. He has multiple hits in five of his last six games.
