Long Island Iced Over
I like the Caps at Islanders Over 5.5 @ +115 tonight. Hit the Ducks bet in OT last night so trying to carry on the momentum.
I kinda feel I missed taking the over in Games 1+2 in this WSH/NYI series because of the great offensive talent on both sides, as well as the fact that the Islander’s goalie, Halak, is a JAG. The WSH goalie, Holtby (a Bruins killer) is very good, but he missed Game 2 as he has been sick for a while (which I wish I knew before Game 2!). He’s back now, and the Game 3 ended 2-1 in OT. But both teams come off a night’s rest w/o the travel lag tonight, so I expect a up=and-down affair. I also think that this series has had the most shots on goal out of all of them.
NHL Tonight
Anaheim Ducks ML +120
BTW, in case you missed it. here are the highlights from Doncaster Rovers taking on Fleetwood in the English 2nd League:
Bball Future
I have taken the Bulls @ +743 @ 16 to win the Eastern Conference. The Cavs and Hawks are overvalued ludicrously and marginally respectively. When I looked in late February I want to say Chicago was still being priced around +250, so this appears to be good value.
Pat Hetic
It’s time for our longest running segment here on miraclecovers. Pat gets wasted and chases dead money with horrific 2nd half bets on NFL Sunday? No silly, it’s time for baseball over/unders. I only had about 3 months to get my act together on these and I am late and under-prepared. But what are you going to do? As Lou mentioned, he and I did well on these last year. I have zero illusions I will have similar success this year, but all I need to do is get one point more than Loubacca. The stakes, as always, a pub crawl.
10) Tampa Bay Rays Under 79.5
9) Los Angeles Angels Under 88.5
8) New York Mets Over 81.5
7) Detroit Tigers Over 84.5
6) Milwaukee Brewers Under 79.5
5) Cincinnati Reds Under 78.5
4) Oakland A’s Over 81.5
3) Pittsburgh Pirates Over 83.5
2) San Francisco Giants Under 84.5
1) Minnesota Twins Over 70.5
***UPDATE***
Literally just saw Lou’s picks. Tampa Bay will be slightly crucial on this one.
2015 MLB Season Win Picks
Happy Opening Day. Here are my picks for 2015. Last season Pat and I did extremely well, with Pat winning because I couldn’t successfully order my plays. I missed on 10 and 9 and hit on 8-1. Since we do confidence scoring, this is a bad thing. Regardless here is the list, of which I am very confident about my 10 point play, and much less so about 9-1. I also have significant action on Tampa Bay to win the AL East at +740.
10 Tampa OVER 79.5
9 Cincinnati UNDER 78.5
8 Cleveland OVER 82.5
7 Colorado OVER 71.5
6 Baltimore UNDER 82.5
5 Texas UNDER 76
4 Oakland OVER 81.5
3 San Francisco UNDER 84.5
2 Houston OVER 75.5
1 San Diego UNDER 84.5
