Offense expected from Canadiens-Senators in Game 2


The Montreal Canadiens and Ottawa Senators played some sloppy hockey in Game 1 on Wednesday, but that only helped to continue a trend of these two teams going over. In the past nine contests between the Habs and Sens the teams have a 7-1-1 over/under record.


Those nine contests have seen the Canadiens and the Sens average 3.7 goals per game each. On 12 occasions either the Habs or the Sens tallied four or more goals, 67 percent, in the past nine.


The Canadiens have been going over in the Bell Centre lately, as the past five games in Montreal have a 4-0-1 O/U mark.


The total is currently five for Game 2 Friday.

MLB betting cheat sheet: Small ball producing big results for A’s
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's a comprehensive look at betting notes for this weekend’s major-league schedule:

A’s get an A for batting average

Not a single Oakland Athletic has left the yard more than once through 10 games. Billy Butler and a handful of others are leading the team with all of one home run. But a whopping five regulars—including Butler at .359—are batting .300 or better. As such, the A’s have scored 56 runs and are 7-3 O/U. Next up is a three-game slate with the Kansas City Royals (5-3 O/U).

Here come the Dodgers

Since starting the 2015 campaign 2-3 (3-2 O/U), the Los Angeles Dodgers have won four in a row (3-1 O/U). Adrian Gonzalez is batting a ridiculous .528 with five homers and nine RBIs. With Gonzalez on fire and a weekend series against the Colorado Rockies upcoming, L.A. has to be feeling good. In the most recent series between the two NL West rivals last September (also in L.A.), the Dodgers swept by a combined score of 23-14 (3-0 O/U).

They’ve got his number

Something will have to give when Ubaldo Jimenez pays a visit to Fenway Park for a date with the Boston Red Sox on Friday. Jimenez gave up only one hit and no runs while striking out eight during his first start of the season, a 7-1 blowout of the Toronto Blue Jays last Saturday. But in three outings vs. Boston in 2014 he went 0-1 with a 6.60 ERA in three starts, including a 7.00 ERA in two appearances at Fenway.

Pitching Notes

* David Price is getting the start on Friday afternoon. That is great news for the Detroit Tigers and terrible news for the Chicago White Sox. That’s because Price has not given up a single run in 14.1 innings this season and boasts 0.84 WHIP to go along with his perfect ERA. The Tigers are 8-1 so far (5-4 O/U) and 2-0 (1-1 O/U) when Price starts. The southpaw is 1-4 O/U in his last five outings dating back to last year.

* It has been open season on Milwaukee Brewers’ starter Kyle Lohse in 2015. The 36-year-old is 0-2 with an 11.17 ERA after allowing 18 hits and 12 runs in 9.2 innings. Not surprisingly, Milwaukee is 2-0 O/U when Lohse takes the bump and 5-3 O/U in Lohse’s last eight dating back to 2014. The veteran’s next outing is Saturday at the Pittsburgh Pirates, against whom he went 2-1 with a 4.50 ERA in three starts last season.

Hitting Notes

* The Boston Red Sox are tied for the major-league lead in runs scored (56) and they are first in runs per game. Thank you, Hanley Ramirez. The left fielder is batting .278 with four home runs and nine RBIs. No team has gone over the total with more consistency than Boston (8-1 O/U). It has an upcoming weekend series against AL East rival Baltimore (6-2-1 O/U).

* Is it Panik time for the San Francisco Giants? The defending World Series champions are 3-7 (4-6 O/U) and have crossed the plate only 26 times, third fewest in the National League. Second baseman Joe Panik is hitting .176 and shortstop Brandon Crawford has a .152 average. They have combined for four RBIs in 67 at-bats.

Totals Streak

Houston Astros (2-7 O/U): The under is no better than 5-3 with any other team in Major League Baseball as of Thursday afternoon, but it is 7-2 in games involving the Astros. They have scored only 23 runs, tied for third fewest in the entire league. Dallas Keuchel (1.29 ERA, 1.07 WHIP), who is scheduled to take the mound on Saturday against the Los Angeles Angels, is 2-9 O/U in his last 11 starts dating back to last season.

Injury Notes

* New York Mets’ third baseman David Wright suffered a strained right hamstring while stealing a base on Tuesday and went on the disabled list the next day. Eric Campbell was called up from Triple-A Las Vegas and is expected to be the Mets’ everyday third baseman while Wright is out. In eight games with the veteran all-star, New York was 5-3 O/U.

* The Kansas City Royals are 7-0 (5-2 O/U) with Alex Rios (.321, 1 HR, 8 RBI) in the lineup and 0-1 (0-1 O/U) without him. They will have to get used to Rios being absent, because the right fielder sustained a fracture in his left hand on Monday and will miss three to six weeks.

Potential thunderstorms at Citi Field Friday

According to weather forecasts, there is a slight chance of thunderstorms at Citi Field when the New York Mets host the Miami Marlins Friday.

Overs a scorching wager in Mets-Marlins meetings

In the past 11 contests between the Mets and Marlins the Over has cashed 10 times, with a push on one occasion.

The two teams have plated an average of 10.5 runs while tallying 19.5 hits per game dating back to Jun 22, 2014. Seven of those 11 contests happened in NYC and Citi Field, with all seven of those going over with the Mets giving home fans a show and averaging 6.5 runs.

The Marlins are expected to start David Phelps on the mound, which may provide some added bang for the Mets lineup. Phelps has yet to start this season, but despite very limited exposure, has posted a 36.00 ERA. Bartolo Colon (2.77 ERA) is slated to get the ball for the Mets.

Oddsmakers have tabbed the second game of the four-game series with a total of 7

Game of the Day: Friday's NHL Playoff matchups
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ottawa Senators at Montreal Canadiens (,)
Canadiens lead series 1-0

As was the case when the clubs met two years ago in the postseason, the Montreal Canadiens and Ottawa Senators didn't waste much time ratcheting up the vitriol in their Eastern Conference first-round series. Atlantic Division-champion Montreal dealt the first significant blow in more ways than one with a 4-3 victory in the series opener, and looks to extend the advantage when it hosts Ottawa in Game 2 on Friday.

Brian Flynn scored his first career playoff goal late in the second period and joined defenseman P.K. Subban with two assists to lead the Canadiens to victory on Wednesday. Subban, however, was involved in a slashing incident with Mark Stone nearly midway into the second period that caused a microfracture of the right wrist and some ligament damage to the promising Senators rookie, and resulted in the Montreal blue-liner receiving a game misconduct. Stone, who is listed as "very questionable" to play in the rest of the series by general manager Bryan Murray, ended the regular season on an impressive nine-game point streak (eight goals, five assists). The 22-year-old also had 26 tallies and set up 38 more to match Calgary's Johnny Gaudreau for the most points (64) by a rookie during the 2014-15 season.

TRENDS:

*Canadiens are 5-0 in their last 5 Conference Quarterfinals games.
*Under is 4-1 in Senators last 5 road games.
*Over is 7-1-1 in the last 9 meetings.
*Home team is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.


New York Islanders at Washington Capitals (,)
Islanders lead series 1-0

The New York Islanders will look to seize a 2-0 lead in a playoff series for the first time in 32 years when they visit the Washington Capitals on Friday in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference first-round series. Brock Nelson scored twice to send New York to a 4-1 triumph over its Metropolitan Division rival on Wednesday, giving the club a series lead since it won Game 1 versus Ottawa in 2003.

For the Islanders to win the first two contests of a series for the first time since sweeping Edmonton in the Stanley Cup final in 1983, they'll need to continue to keep captain Alex Ovechkin in check. The Russian superstar led the league with 53 goals, but was kept off the scoresheet despite registering a team-leading eight shots. "I don't think our execution was there," Washington forward Brooks Laich said. "It starts with thinking quicker and moving quicker. I don't think we did that well in the first period. The result was that we looked like a slow team. It has to get better."

TRENDS:

*Islanders are 0-7 in their last 7 games following a win.
*Capitals are 1-5 in their last 6 Conference Quarterfinals games.
*Under is 8-2-1 in the last 11 meetings in Washington.
*Over is 3-0-2 in Capitals last 5 vs. Metropolitan.


Chicago Blackhawks at Nashville Predators (,)
Blackhawks lead series 1-0

There's a new Darling on the sports scene in the Windy City, but the Chicago Blackhawks will revert to an old and familiar formula when they visit the Nashville Predators in Game 2 of their Western Conference first-round playoff series. The Blackhawks erased a three-goal deficit en route to a 4-3 victory in double overtime on Wednesday as rookie Scott Darling stopped all 42 shots he faced after replacing an ineffective Corey Crawford.

Despite the brilliant performance by Darling in his postseason debut, Chicago coach Joel Quenneville called it an "easy decision" to go back to Crawford for Game 2. "It was kind of a no-brainer. It was probably a tougher situation to pull him out (Wednesday night)," Quenneville said. "He’s been our strength all year long. It was one period.” Nashville, which lost its final six games of the regular season, must regroup after bolting to a 3-0 lead in the first 20 minutes before giving up three goals in the second period. "Other than the second period, I thought we played a really good game," Nashville captain Shea Weber said. "It just didn't go our way, and now we've just got to move past it."

TRENDS:

*Blackhawks are 5-0 in their last 5 Conference Quarterfinals games
*Predators are 0-7 in their last 7 overall.
*Under is 11-2-3 in Blackhawks last 16 games following a win.
*Over is 6-1-3 in Predators last 10 overall.


Calgary Flames at Vancouver Canucks (,)
Flames lead series 1-0

After stealing home-ice advantage away from Vancouver in the opener, the Calgary Flames look to bring a 2-0 series lead back to Alberta when they visit the Canucks for Game 2 of their Western Conference first-round matchup on Friday. Calgary pulled out the victory in Game 1 with another of its patented third-period comebacks, as David Jones forged a tie eight minutes into the session and defenseman Kris Russell scored with 30 seconds remaining for the 2-1 triumph.

It was the 11th win of 2014-15 when trailing after 40 minutes for the Flames, who tied for the league lead with 99 goals in the final period during the regular season. Vancouver received its best efforts from a pair of players making their postseason debuts as rookie Bo Horvat scored the lone goal while Eddie Lack turned aside 28 shots. However, it wasn't enough to prevent the Canucks from falling to 0-7 at home in the playoffs since Game 5 of the 2011 Stanley Cup final against Boston. Vancouver coach Willie Desjardins has yet to announce whether Lack will be back in net for Game 2 or if he will turn to veteran Ryan Miller, who was not sharp in his return from a knee injury in the regular-season finale versus Edmonton.

TRENDS:

*Flames are 23-6 in their last 29 vs. Pacific.
*Canucks are 2-12 in their last 14 Conference Quarterfinals games.
*Under is 5-1 in Flames last 6 overall.
*Under is 3-0-1 in the last 4 meetings.

Offense expected from Canadiens-Senators in Game 2

The Montreal Canadiens and Ottawa Senators played some sloppy hockey in Game 1 on Wednesday, but that only helped to continue a trend of these two teams going over. In the past nine contests between the Habs and Sens the teams have a 7-1-1 over/under record.

Those nine contests have seen the Canadiens and the Sens average 3.7 goals per game each. On 12 occasions either the Habs or the Sens tallied four or more goals, 67 percent, in the past nine.

The Canadiens have been going over in the Bell Centre lately, as the past five games in Montreal have a 4-0-1 O/U mark.

The total is currently five for Game 2 Friday.


Two months since Islanders won consecutive games

The New York Islanders will look to end a run of inconsistency when they look to take Game 2 against the Washington Capitals Friday. The Isles have not recorded back-to-back wins since Feb. 27, going 0-7 after their victories since then.

The positive for the Islanders during that span has been how close those losses have been, with six being decided by one goal and four L's coming in a shootout.

New York is currently +125 for Game 2 against the Washington Capitals.

Weekend Primer


April 17, 2015




Colorado Rockies at Los Angeles Dodgers (or vice versa)

Is this an early-season preview for who will be battling it out in the end for the NL West? While I have San Diego winning the division, some people might already be leaning yes to that question, based on Colorado’s impressive start. But just like I pointed out in my MLB Preview, they’ve been doing this seemingly every year under manager Walt Weiss, before ultimately fading when the two cornerstones of the franchise, Carlos Gonzalez and Troy Tulowitzki, would go down with their inevitable injuries.

In fact, the Rockies started out 23-16 last year and 19-13 in 2013, and being 7-2 at the moment, they’re very much on pace for one of those types of blistering records after the first month-and-change of the campaign. But can they sustain it this time around? Well, if Cargo and Tulo manage to stay healthy over the long haul for once, it’s certainly a valid possibility. At the same time, though, starting pitching is still a concern -- just as it always is in the Rocky Mountains -- but there is some potential in the rotation these days, with Jordan Lyles, Tyler Matzek (one of my top five sleepers, remember), and rookie Eddie Butler standing out in the early going. Maybe there’s something to this start for the Rockies after all.


Speaking of starting pitching concerns, you wouldn’t think the Dodgers would be mired with such an issue, especially as it relates to their reigning MVP and Cy Young winner Clayton Kershaw, but that is exactly the case entering this second weekend of the season. That’s because Kershaw simply has not looked like himself in the early going, as he was a bit shaky on Opening Day versus the Padres, before getting hit hard by the Diamondbacks last Saturday. Is this going to be an on-going problem? Odds are it won’t be, as even the best players across every sport can get out to inauspicious starts in any given year. Kershaw is the unquestionable best pitcher in the game today, a title he’s held for multiple years now, and sometimes, you get a little content mentally when it’s that apparent. It would not be wise to suddenly fade Kershaw from a betting standpoint, as you can bet he’ll get that itch to dominate again and go on one of his trademark brilliant extensive runs sooner than later. The Dodgers also have to be worried about one of their free agent acquisitions for the rotation, Brandon McCarthy, who has a 6.75 ERA through his first two starts. They’re also without Hyun-Jin Ryu for awhile.

As for their offense, the Dodgers are the team right behind Colorado for most runs scored thus far, so they’re hitting has been more than fine. They’ve been led by Adrian Gonzalez, who has probably been the offensive MVP in the early going with his insane .528/.595/1.111 line to go along with a league-leading five homer runs and nine runs batted in. The Dodgers’ lineup is only going to get better once Yasiel Puig gets going, as he’s hitting at only a .222 clip thus far. Regardless, it should be an interesting series between the two highest scoring teams in the National League, and it will be especially compelling for the Rockies, who are trying to see where they measure up in the early going against the class of the division. Interestingly, they also possess the best run differential in the NL at +20. As a result, they might be a sneaky value underdog bet throughout the series, and will probably be given chalk for each game, being that they’re on the road.

Baltimore Orioles at Boston Red Sox

At first glance, this looks like the biggest high-profile series in the AL this weekend. The Red Sox, a last-place resident a year ago in the division, have stormed out of the gate to the tune of a 6-3 start and in first, and will now be pitted against the 2014 division winners, the Orioles, who are 5-4. Unsurprisingly, these are two of the top six teams in all of baseball in runs scored, and that’s a trend that should be very prevalent throughout this critical AL East meeting.

The trend that sticks out most here, of course, is the fact that the Red Sox are an MLB-best 8-1 towards the over (And that one under, which came against Aaron Harang, was a few inches from going over based on Hanley Ramirez just nearly missing a home run late in that game that would’ve won it). They’ve been getting a huge lift from their two prized offseason acquisitions, Ramirez and Pablo Sandoval, to go along with an inspired start to the season from young Mookie Betts. Baltimore, meanwhile, has watched its top star, Adam Jones, go off on a torrid start, hitting .406 with four homers and 11 runs batted in. In addition, emerging second baseman Jonathan Schoop has three longballs. With Ubaldo Jimenez vs Joe Kelly slated for game one, we could see the first over of what could be the main theme in this first series of the year between the Orioles and Red Sox.

San Diego Padres at Chicago Cubs

How can you be not intrigued by this series? Both of these clubs haven’t surpassed .500 in several years, but after very active offseasons and solid starts to the 2015 campaign, it’s very possible that both the Padres and Cubs might finish with a winning record when all is said and done. And, perhaps a winning record in the playoffs also. That’s the type of potential each organization has flashed, so the winner of this series could be propelled into quite an expansive run.

San Diego has gotten their best hitting in years -- which is the main area new GM A.J. Preller focused on during the offseason, as they are currently tied for second in the National League in runs scored. Just as notable, they’re 6-4 towards the over thus far after being one of the top unders team in baseball the past handful of seasons. They’re also 3-0 for overs on the road. The Cubs, meanwhile, have received a nice balance of contributions, as they’re flashing power on offense and getting quality pitching, as illustrated by their 3.38 ERA as a team. And it’s only going to get better for them when potential superstar Kris Bryant (I already pegged him as one of the future faces of the game, without question) comes up very soon. This might be a series to generally stay away from in terms of large bets, as these are two even teams at this point in time on similar paths. But it’s definitely worth monitoring to see who pulls it out, and thus will prove further that their early run is legitimate.

Other Weekend Thoughts

-- The Royals have picked up right where they left off a year ago, beginning the 2015 season with a run reminiscent of their genocide of American League opponents last postseason. They had a rematch with the Angels last week and swept them, and now they’ll be squaring off with the team they beat to advance into that ALDS matchup, the Athletics. This will also represent Billy Butler’s return to Kansas City after spending the previous eight years as a Royal. While only 5-5, the A’s have looked better than that, as evident in their impressive +23 run differential. All of those AL West teams are hovering around .500 right now -- and the division lead -- but it wouldn’t be surprising to see Oakland be the first to break from that pack. That’s why this series stands out, as one or both of these teams might be close to a notable streak. It will also be interesting to watch Sonny Gray, who has been fantastic through his first two starts (2-0 towards the over also, ironically), and he carries an attractive -110 price tag for game one against Jeremy Guthrie.

-- Are the Giants already in serious trouble? Since starting 3-1, they’ve lost 7 in a row -- including game one of this important four-game set with the Diamondbacks, a team they need to pick up wins from at home, especially the weekend of their World Series ring ceremony. Or maybe they’re already starting to follow that bizarre pattern where the year after a championship, they struggle or simply miss out on the playoffs. Their starting pitcher has not been good, with Madison Bumgarner being an unlikely culprit. This is also a big series for Arizona, out to a respectable 5-5 start, as they seek to prove last year’s disaster was a fluke. I’m buying the D-backs a little bit overall, with the mindset that they can continue to play quality baseball. Their lineup is underrated (Especially Ender Inciarte) with a notable heart-of-the-order, and now they’ve got Cuban import Yasmany Tomas up in the big leagues. He’ll get going eventually.

-- It looks like the Nationals are snapping out of their early-season funk, now that they have Jayson Worth for their previously dead bat lineup, which was having major problems scoring runs in the first couple of series. They broke out the offense against Boston, and fared well versus Cole Hamels last night in game one of this series against the Phillies. This is also a very nice chance at redemption for Washington, who was embarrassed last weekend by these same Phillies in losing two out of three. After taking the first game, it appears likely the Nats will take at least take two of the next three, if not all of them, beginning with a rematch of former Cy Young winner Max Scherzer facing below-average journeyman Sean O’Sullivan. Philadelphia is seemingly already in the midst of their predicted spiral towards the bottom of the NL.

-- The Tigers have the league’s best record thus far, but I’m curious to see how they do against the White Sox in this weekend set. Detroit is obviously a perennial contender, having won the division four years in a row, and they’ve looked real good these first two weeks thanks in large part to their usual slugging offense. Chicago, however, has a similar blueprint with a powerful lineup of their own, so I’m definitely interested in keeping track of their potential rise this year (I have these teams finishing first and second in the division, actually). The opener will especially be interesting for the White Sox, who are still looking for their first quality start from newcomer Jeff Samardzija. He’ll be tasked with facing Tigers ace David Price.

Fearless Prediction

-- This isn’t so fearless for me, as they were one of my top breakout picks for this year (And their over of 82½ wins was my best bet for the season), but the Mets are going to keep on cruising. They have a four-game series with the Marlins already in progress, and after taking game one, it’s further apparent that they’re for real. Even with David Wright going on the DL, their offense hasn’t missed a beat. Lucas Duda, for example, has developed into a worthy cleanup hitter, and enters the weekend with three consecutive games of having multiple extra-base hits. Their starting pitching, as expected, has also mostly delivered, and this is a good opportunity for them to capitalize on a Miami team that has looked very inconsistent through so far.
