Even though we are coming off of Masters week, there are still many major sporting events to come over the next few weeks. The NBA playoffs begin tomorrow with my pick to win it all, the Warriors, tipping off at 3:30. The 141st running of the Kentucky Derby is Saturday, May 2nd, 2015. If this date stands out it’s probably because the Mayweather/Pacquaio fight also takes place on May 2nd.
