Red Wings vs Bruins NHL Handicapping
The puck drops on a gritty Original Six match-up on Friday night, as the Red Wings and Bruins do battle in what should be a seven-game series of attrition. Both of these teams are hungry and resilient, but one should be more talented, which may well be the difference.
Betting Stanley Cup P layoffs?
The Avs’ quick resurgence with a glut of young players – after the Joe Sakic/Milan Hejduk/Alex Tanguay glory years – has been remarkable. Minnesota hopes its fistful of marquee players and overall team cohesiveness are enough to gloss over potentially substandard goaltending.
MLB Lines – Indians vs Tigers
The Cleveland Indians hope to eventually elevate their franchise to somewhere close to the rarified air where the Tigers have found themselves for the past several seasons: The class of the AL Central division.
Habs vs Lightning NHL Handicapping
The puck drops on the NHL postseason on Wednesday night, one of the series features the league’s most storied franchise travelling to sunny climes to tangle with goal machine Steven Stamkos and the Lightning.
MLB Lines – Red Sox vs White Sox
One team is worried about its record in the young season, while the other is thrilled with its mega offensive production from a Latino slugger. Can you guess which Sox team is which? The answer might surprise you.
MLB Lines – Cubs vs Cardinals
This early-season NL Central tilt is a case of the haves and have-nots in baseball.
The Cardinals (5-4) seem to be in the thick of the World Series race all the time, while the Cubbies (3-6) are stuck in a perpetual re-build, even with savvy Red Sox legend Theo Epstein making the decisions.
Pacers vs Heat NBA Handicapping
This is the match-up that everyone in the basketball world has been stewing over for most the 2013-14 season.
The Heat (53-25) are the “Evil Empire” sort of team that everyone is looking to knock off: Well-established narrative there. But the Pacers (54-25) have been the subject of much analysis and head-scratching over the last few weeks.
Maple Leafs vs Panthers NHL Handicapping
Even the crappy teams in the NHL have to play out the full 82. Yes, Toronto Maple Leafs, that means you. Toronto’s recent 2-10 slide ensures that it will be missing the postseason for the eighth time in the last nine seasons.
Sharks vs Ducks NHL Handicapping
For whatever reason over the past few seasons, the NHL teams from the state of California have been some of the league’s elite clubs. The Sharks and the Ducks join the L.A. Kings as teams that look to make a lot of noise in the upcoming postseason.
MLB Lines – Mets vs Braves
The performance of the Atlanta Braves’s pitching rotation shows how unpredictable baseball performance can be. Injuries? What injuries?
Bobcats vs Wizards NBA Handicapping
In general, the people involved with the Bobcats and Wizards franchises are happy bunnies. Why? They’ve both ended their postseason droughts in 2014. The only business that remains is the battle for seeding in the Eastern Conference.
MLB Lines – O’s vs Yankees
The Yanks (4-4) are coming off a thorough spanking delivered by the hands of their division rivals, the Orioles (3-5). The O’s won yesterday’s ballgame 14-5; the Bronx Bombers and their fans expect shoddy performances like that to be an outlier.
Thunder vs Kings NBA Handicapping
Even amidst three consecutive road losses, OKC’s Kevin Durant is truly having a campaign for the ages. The six-year pro has gone 41 consecutive games with scoring 25 or more points, surpassing Michael Jordan’s 1988-89 streak of 40 straight.
Wizards vs Knicks NBA Handicapping
The Wiz are flying high after clinching a postseason berth with a win over the Boston Celtics this week. The Knickerbockers are currently clinging to the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, their record (33-43) currently one victory better than the Atlanta Hawks.
MLB Lines – Giants vs Diamondbacks
The Giants usually win a World Series in even-numbered years (2o1o, 2012) so we’ll see if a pattern continues and 2014 is pre-ordained for them. However, the D’backs are a hungry competitor in the Giants’s division, so they’ll have something to say about that.
