With line moves quiet on the NBA front, we focus our attention to Game 6 in the Stanley Cup Playoffs and MLB. Take a minute to review all the betting trends, our free picks and predictions to see what we are thinking about today. See you back here tomorrow.
NHL – (25) SAN JOSE at (26) ST. LOUIS 8:08 ET NBCSN
With San Jose now really battered with injuries and coming off a 5-0 shellacking at home, St. Louis has blown up from -150 to -165 or -170 money line home favorites to win the West Finals. I know there are bettors who will talk about the Sharks resilience in the postseason, but this team is hanging by a thread defensively and is 8-18 on the road off a pair of losses. St. Louis wins and meets Boston next week.
Betting Trend - 68% backing Blues
Doug's VPID Take - St. Louis wins
MLB – (901) PHILADELPHIA at (902) CHIC. CUBS 7:05 ET ESPN
Both these National League division leaders bullpens failed to hold leads until the Phillies hit a homer in the 10th and won late. Those betting baseball are not seeing the same thing happening and have lowered the total from 8 to 7.5. Bettors are trusting the form of Zach Eflin (5-4, 2.89 ERA) and Jose Quintana (4-3, 3.68) to keep the scores down. Leery of both bullpens honestly, but see enough out of both starters to make this a 3-2 or 4-3 outcome, thus, will back the UNDER.
