Minnesota Wild vs Calgary Flames Betting Pick & Prediction 11/23/24

<p>The Los Angeles Angels found themselves in a very advantageous spot on Friday night and blew a 3-0 lead to lose 7-3. We’ll see what happens on Saturday in a game that is lined around pick ‘em against the Seattle Mariners. These two AL West teams were forecasted to be flipped in the standings, but that could end up being the case by the end of the weekend.</p>



<p>Seattle will send Chris Flexen to the mound and the Angels will counter with left-hander Patrick Sandoval in this Saturday night showdown with a late first pitch for East Coasters and a standard start time out west of 7:10 p.m. PT local time. The line has fluctuated around -110 to -115 either way at <strong><a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betus">BetUS Sportsbook</a></strong> with a total of 8.5.</p>



<h2 id="h-los-angeles-angels"><strong><u>Los Angeles</u></strong><strong><u> Angels</u></strong></h2>



<p>The Angels have been a great offense for most of the season, but they’ve really been great when it matters the most. Los Angeles goes into this game as the best offense in baseball with runners in scoring position. Entering play on Friday, the Angels had a .356 wOBA with RISP and a 127 wRC+, narrowly edging out the Toronto Blue Jays and the Houston Astros in those two departments, respectively.</p>



<p>The Angels have had to be that good offensive because they are that bad defensively. The Angels rank in the bottom five in starting pitcher ERA, despite being around the middle of the pack in starting pitcher FIP. FIP stands for Fielding Independent Pitching and, well, the “Fielding” part carries a lot of weight with the Angels because their defense stinks to high heaven.</p>



<p>As a result, they’ve needed a lot of those runs to win games and to be keep their heads above water this season. Mike Trout will return after the All-Star Break and maybe Anthony Rendon will return to form to give this offense another dimension and something that allows the Angels to make a run.</p>



<p>It would help if Patrick Sandoval could keep pitching the way that he has as well. Sandoval has a 3.86 ERA with a 4.60 FIP on the season. An elevated walk rate and a high home run rate have hurt in the FIP department, but he’s been one of the few Angels pitchers to have some measure of batted ball luck this season. He also has 53 strikeouts in 49 innings of work.</p>



<p>The left-handed Sandoval follows in the footsteps of Friday’s starter, Alex Cobb, who brought an extreme ground ball rate to the table against a fly ball-happy offense. Seattle tries to elevate a lot, but guys like Sandoval with high ground ball numbers should match up well against that kind of offense. Cobb pitched well, but the Angels bullpen did not.</p>



<h2 id="h-seattle-mariners"><strong><u>Seattle</u></strong><strong><u> Mariners</u></strong></h2>



<p>Seattle’s offense does not measure up with Los Angeles’s offense in many ways. One way it does is success with men in scoring position. For as terrible as the Mariners offense has been this season, the M’s are a top-five offense with men in scoring position. They’ve been able to overcome the second-highest K% with RISP to be highly potent and productive in that split thanks to a ton of batted ball luck.</p>



<p>Seattle entered play on Friday with a .347 wOBA with RISP and a .341 batting average on balls in play (BABIP). That wOBA ranked fourth and that BABIP ranked first. With the bases empty, Seattle was the worst offense in the league by a large margin. Their .271 wOBA was 13 points lower than anybody else in baseball going into Friday’s game.</p>



<p>This concept, known as Cluster Luck, can make a bad team look a lot better than it is and that is precisely what has happened with the Mariners this season. They rank in the bottom five in plate appearances with a runner in scoring position, but entered Friday’s action 15th in RBI with RISP. This is a team that could be in for a rude awakening in the second half.</p>



<p>Chris Flexen’s return to North America has been a good one. After an outstanding 2020 season in the KBO, Flexen came back to MLB and has posted a 3.80 ERA with a 3.69 FIP in his 85.1 innings of work. Flexen’s K% still leaves something to be desired, but he isn’t walking guys, he’s kept the ball in the park, and has really thrived at home.</p>



<p>The pitcher-friendly conditions of T-Mobile Park have been great for Flexen, who has a 1.99 ERA in his 54.1 innings at home with a .254 wOBA against. Compare that to a 6.97 ERA with a .400 wOBA against in 31 innings on the road. Flexen certainly has a shot at success here because of those home numbers.</p>



<h2 id="h-angels-vs-mariners-free-pick"><strong><u>Angels vs. Mariners Free Pick</u></strong></h2>



<p>This is a really interesting handicap. Sandoval should be able to have success against the Mariners because his ground ball style does not jive with the Seattle offensive philosophy. The Angels may not do well on offense because Flexen has excellent home splits and seems very comfortable pitching at T-Mobile Park. Both of these offenses overachieve with RISP. Perhaps that lends itself well to the under in this one.</p>

Phoenix Suns vs Toronto Raptors Betting Pick & Prediction 11/29/23

Outliers exist in every sport. A team could play its best game and its worst game all in the same week. Or, in the case of the NHL Playoffs, all in the same series.

It sure seems like the Vegas Golden Knights played their absolute worst game to open up this best-of-seven series against the Colorado Avalanche. Since then, Vegas has been the better team and defended the fortress on Las Vegas Blvd. with wins in Games 3 and 4 to send the series back to Denver locked up at 2-2.

Game 5 is on Tuesday night and Colorado is a -145 favorite at <strong><a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/jazzsports/">Jazz Sports</a></strong> with a total of 5.5. This is a huge swing game, as the winner will have the chance to advance and face the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday night when the series goes back to Sin City.
<h2><strong><u>Vegas Golden Knights</u></strong></h2>
What Vegas has done in this series is nothing short of incredible. After that 7-1 beatdown in Game 1 when Robin Lehner faced an all-on assault from the Avalanche, things have stabilized for the Golden Knights. It hasn’t just been about Marc-Andre Fleury returning to the crease. It has been about matching Colorado’s speed. It has been about beating the Avalanche at their own.

It has been about the best players for the Golden Knights stepping up at the right time. There was a lot less drama in Game 5 as Vegas won from basically start to finish. Brandon Saad’s goal 1:50 into the first period set Vegas back, but the Knights returned the favor early in the second to take a 2-1 lead and never looked back. Jonathan Marchessault had a hat trick and Max Pacioretty and Patrick Brown also contributed goals.

Fleury only faced 18 shots in the win, as the Golden Knights dominated the game in all three zones. Colorado only managed 13 scoring chances to 27 for VGK. The Knights had 17 high-danger chances to just five for Colorado. The balance of power in this series has swung in a big way. In the two games in Vegas, the Knights had 32 high-danger chances to just nine for the Avs.

After getting badly outplayed and outscored in Game 1, Vegas has outshot Colorado 99-45 at 5-v-5, has outchanced the Avs 89-49, and has that big edge in high-danger chances. We’ll see if getting back home helps Colorado, but Vegas is on another level right now.
<h2><strong><u>Colorado Avalanche</u></strong></h2>
Jared Bednar’s plea for a better efforts from his best players did not work out. His impassioned press conference after Game 3 was not about anything other than his best players needing to step up. Vegas had a big edge of 3.76 to 1.09 in Expected Goals at 5-v-5 and really carried the play, even though a comeback was needed in the third period.

In Game 4, Colorado mustered very little offense again. The Expected Goals tally was 2.67 for Vegas to 1.22 for Colorado and the Avs have been held to 1.25 or lower at 5-v-5 in every game of this series, even the game that they won 7-1. That was just an ugly night for Lehner and the Golden Knights coming off of the Minnesota series.

Nathan MacKinnon was one of three players with three shots on goal for the Avs in Game 4. Mikko Rantanen had two and Gabriel Landeskog was held off the scoresheet altogether. MacKinnon had three high-danger chances himself in Game 4. The other players combined for only two. It really was a pathetic effort from Colorado all the way around, but you do have to give Vegas a lot of credit.

The Avs didn’t muster much in the form of offense, but Philipp Grubauer also had his first bad game of the playoffs by letting in five goals. We’ll have to see how he bounces back in Game 5. Grubauer allowed three high-danger goals and a couple of low-danger goals as well. It wasn’t his best effort and it wasn’t the team’s best effort to say the least.
<h2><strong><u>Golden Knights vs. Avalanche Free Pick</u></strong></h2>
How can we expect Colorado to flip the script here? Even Game 1 was pretty even at 5-v-5. Colorado had some power play goals and scored some weak goals on Robin Lehner, plus Vegas kind of let the game get out of hand to conserve energy. In the other three games, VGK has been the better team, including the Game 2 loss. It’s hard to justify Colorado at -145 here given what we’ve seen so far in this series. Whether Vegas wins or not, they seem like the better value bet.
