St. Louis Cardinals vs Atlanta Braves Betting Pick & Prediction 9/6/23

<p>The NHL betting action continues Friday, November 12, 2021, with five games on the schedule, including the interconference clash at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, so we bring you the best Oilers vs. Sabres betting pick and odds.</p>



<p>Edmonton meets Buffalo for the first time since January 2, 2020, and the Sabres have won six of their last eight encounters with the Oilers. According to <a href="https://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bovada/">Bovada Sportsbook</a>, the Oilers are firm road favorites for Friday’s game, so let’s take a closer look.</p>



<h2>The Oilers fell apart in Detroit</h2>



<p>The Edmonton Oilers will play without rest in this one, coming off a tough road matchup with the Boston Bruins on Thursday night. They started a five-game road trip last Tuesday with a surprising 4-2 defeat at the Detroit Red Wings that put an end to the Oilers’ four-game winning streak.</p>



<p>The Red Wings outshot the Oilers (39-33), who started Stuart Skinner between the pipes for the first time this season. Skinner allowed three goals on 38 shots, and he should get another starting call Friday against Buffalo.</p>



<p>Mikko Koskinen (7-1-0; 2.54 GAA) was projected to guard the cage Thursday at Boston. The Oilers are yielding 2.91 goals per game (tied-18<sup>th</sup> in the NHL) while tallying 4.18 in a return (1<sup>st</sup>) on a 12.6 shooting percentage (also 1<sup>st</sup>). Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl have already accounted for 23 points each.</p>



<h2>The Sabres hope to break out of their slump  </h2>



<p>The Buffalo Sabres (5-5-2) are on a five-game losing streak following a 5-3 defeat at the Washington Capitals this past Monday. Dustin Tokarski yielded five goals on 30 shots to record his fifth consecutive defeat, so he’s now 1-3-2 with a 3.10 GAA and a .902 save percentage on the season.</p>



<p>Tokarski should patrol the crease Friday against the Oilers, as Craig Anderson (4-2-0; 2.50 GAA) is struggling with an upper-body injury and shouldn’t return to the ice until the next week. The Sabres are surrendering 3.00 goals per game (tied-21<sup>st</sup> in the NHL).</p>



<p>On the other side of the ice, Buffalo is tallying 2.92 goals per contest (15<sup>th</sup>) on a 9.7 shooting percentage (13<sup>th</sup>). The Sabres are boasting the eighth-best power-play percentage in the NHL (25.0%) and the fifth-best penalty-killing percentage.</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>Edmonton:</strong></p>



<ul><li>9-2 in the last 11 games overall</li></ul>



<p><strong>Buffalo:</strong></p>



<ul><li>0-5 in the last five games overall</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-edmonton-oilers-vs-buffalo-sabres-pick">Edmonton Oilers vs. Buffalo Sabres Pick</h2>



<p>The Oilers will have to deal with fatigue after a tough clash against the Bruns in Boston, but they should still have enough firepower to deal with the struggling Sabres. Buffalo opened the season on a high note, and the Sabres have slowed down as of late which is pretty expected.</p>



<p>Edmonton has one of the best attacking duos in the NHL that will torture Buffalo’s slumping defense. The Oilers’ defense could be an issue, but the Sabres will have a tall task to outscore the most prolific attack in the league.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Edmonton Oilers&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p><strong>The Total:</strong></p>



<p>The Sabres have allowed a whopping 22 goals in their last five outings while scoring 13 in a return, and the over has hit in four of those five contests. On the other side, the over is 7-2-1 in the Oilers’ previous ten games overall, excluding that Thursday night’s game against the Bruins.</p>



<p>Hereof, I would ride these betting trends, as it seems like a logical choice. The highest-scoring offense takes on the slumping defense, so we should see a proper high-scoring affair. Keep in mind that Edmonton will probably start Stuart Skinner between the pipes, and the Oilers’ defense is far away from an elite level.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go over&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>

Edmonton Oilers vs. Buffalo Sabres Odds, Pick, Prediction 11/12/21

Despite Victor Hedman’s best efforts, the Tampa Bay Lightning came up short in Game 1. The Lightning trailed 3-0 just over a minute into the third period and Hedman’s two goals put some cosmetic touches on the outcome, but it wasn’t enough. The Bruins can put themselves in an excellent position by coming away with Game 2 on Tuesday night.

It was a pretty even game for the most part between the two best teams in the Eastern Conference in their second round best-of-seven series. The Game 2 line suggests a similar type of performance, as both teams are -110 with a total of 5.5 juiced on the under at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betdsi"><strong>BetDSI Sportsbook</strong></a>.

Tampa Bay was better, but only slightly in most of the metrics at 5-v-5. Both teams had 25 scoring chances, but Tampa Bay got outscored 2-1 at 5-v-5. Tampa Bay had 11 high-danger scoring chances to nine for the Bruins.

It was mostly what we would expect. The Bruins were the best team in the regular season and they were on their way to the Presidents Trophy for the most points in the league. Their reluctance to come back and play the Round Robin left a bad taste in the mouths of a lot of bettors going into their series against the Carolina Hurricanes, but they had no issues there. Their performance in that series and in Game 1 has silenced most of those critics in a hurry.

The Bruins scored the only power play goal in Game 1. The Lightning had a 6-v-5 goal with the extra attacker on Hedman’s second tally. Otherwise, again, everything was really similar. That shouldn’t come as a shock to anybody. These two teams really stood out during the regular season. Tampa Bay was +40 in 5-v-5 goal scoring with 162 scored and 122 against. The Bruins were +36 in 5-v-5 scoring with 141 scored and 105 against.

Boston was first in Point% in the regular season at .714%. Tampa Bay was tied for third with .657%. It is kind of a shame that these two teams can’t even meet in the conference finals because that’s where they both belong.

In any event, what happens in Game 2 will probably dictate how this series ends up. If Boston can take a 2-0 series lead, it seems tough for Tampa Bay to win four of five. If Tampa Bay can even up the series, we’re in for a long one.

It did appear that it took Tampa Bay a little while to get into the flow of Game 1. They dominated the second period, but wound up on the short end of a 1-0 frame because Jaroslav Halak stopped all 18 shots. If the Lightning can carry the last 40 minutes into the 60 minutes in this game, they stand a great chance of evening up the series.

Halak was great in Game 1, but this could be a series in which the difference between Halak and Tuukka Rask is realized. Rask, who was one of the best goaltenders in the league during the regular season with a 22.51 goals saved above average mark, opted out to be with his family. Halak was really solid in his own right with an 8.83 GSAA in 41 games, but the ceiling for Rask is higher than it is for Halak.

Andrei Vasilevskiy had a 12.13 GSAA. He could have been better during the regular season and he’s played well enough in the playoffs to this point, but the Lightning may have had an uphill climb if Rask had stuck around in the bubble. With Vasilevskiy’s ceiling higher than that of Halak’s, the two teams are evenly matched in this series to say the least.

With that in mind, the Lightning were the better team for enough of Game 1 to give them the nod in Game 2. It is a bummer that Steven Stamkos is still out and his offense was needed in the first game of the series, but the Lightning have gotten some really nice minutes from guys like Brayden Point and Alex Killorn in these playoffs. The Lightning will need some more offensive zone starts in this game so that they can establish their attack and puck possession, but it seems like they should achieve that.

<strong>Pick: Tampa Bay Lightning (-110)</strong>

One thing to watch is that the Red Sox are 28th in the league in strikeouts.</p>

However, he is coming off a stretch in which he has gone just 5/27 in his last seven games. Devers is also 2nd on the team with 23 RBIs.

Milwaukee Brewers vs Boston Red Sox Betting Pick & Prediction 5/25/24

<p>The New York Jets head to Gillette Stadium in Week 7 to wrap up their regular-season series against the New England Patriots. Back in Week 2, the Pats easily outlasted New York as 3-point road favorites, 28-14, to record their 11<sup>th</sup> consecutive victory over the Jets.</p>



<p>This time around, the Patriots are 7-point home favorites on <a href="https://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betdsi/">BetDSI Sportsbook</a>. New York is listed as a +255 moneyline underdog with a total of 42.5 points, so let’s see what’s the best Jets vs. Patriots betting pick for Sunday, October 24, 2021.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<h2>The Jets dropped four straight on the road </h2>



<p>The New York Jets (1-4; 1-4 ATS) are coming off a bye, looking to bounce back from a 27-20 defeat to the Atlanta Falcons at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. It was their fourth consecutive defeat away from home dating back to the previous regular season, and the Jets are only 1-10 SU and 2-9 ATS in their previous 11 contests on the road.</p>



<p>The Jets own the lowest-scoring offense in the NFL, tallying 13.4 points per game. They rank 31<sup>st</sup> in both total yards (267.0) and rushing yards per game (74.0), while rookie QB Zach Wilson has tossed for 1,117 yards, four touchdowns, and nine interceptions so far.</p>



<p>Wilson has struggled mightily through his first five starts. He was tortured by the Pats’ defense in Week 2, finishing the game with four interceptions and no TD passes. Rookie RB Michael Carter leads the way for New York’s backfield with 47 carries for 165 yards and a couple of touchdowns, while WR Corey Davis has 20 receptions for 302 yards and three scores.</p>



<h2>The Pats lost three of their last four contests</h2>



<p>The New England Patriots (2-4; 2-4 ATS) are coming off a tough 35-29 overtime defeat to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 6. It was a crazy game at Gillette Stadium, as the teams combined for 27 points in the fourth quarter, and the Patriots rallied from a six-point deficit. However, the Pats ran out of gas and conceded a winning TD after 6:08 of play in overtime.</p>



<p>Mac Jones went 15-of-21 for 229 yards, a pair of touchdowns, and a costly interception that ended up in pick-six. Damien Harris carried the pigskin 18 times for 101 yards and a TD, while Jakobi Meyers had five catches for 44 yards.</p>



<p>The Patriots allowed Dallas to rack up a whopping 567 total yards (445 through the air). Now, they are yielding 21.2 points per game (tied-9<sup>th</sup> in the NFL) on 112.8 rushing yards (17<sup>th</sup>) and 246.3 passing yards (16<sup>th</sup>). On the other side of the ball, New England ranks 23<sup>rd</sup> in points scored (20.8) and 27<sup>th</sup> in rushing yards per game (27<sup>th</sup>).</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>NY Jets:</strong></p>



<ul><li>2-9 ATS in the last 11 games overall</li><li>5-15 ATS in the last 20 games against the AFC East&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>New England:</strong></p>



<ul><li>6-2 ATS in the last eight games against the Jets</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-new-york-jets-vs-new-england-pick">New York Jets vs. New England Pick</h2>



<p>We all know how Bill Belichick loves to torture rookie quarterbacks, and he already did it to Zach Wilson in Week 2. On the other side, Mac Jones is arguably the best rookie signal-caller in the NFL at the moment, so I’m backing the Pats to win by at least a touchdown.</p>



<p>New England leans on its defense, though that performance against the Cowboys is certainly concerning. Anyway, the Cowboys own the highest-scoring offense in football, and I’ve already mentioned who’s sitting bottom of the list.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take New England Patriots -7.0 at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p><strong>The Total:</strong></p>



<p>The under is 7-3 in the Jets’ last ten games overall which is not strange given their awful offense. They were one of the worst offensive teams in the league last year, and nothing has changed with Zach Wilson under center.</p>



<p>The line is set pretty low, but I’m expecting the Pats’ D to bounce back from a poor display in Week 6 and shut down the hapless Jets. Six of the last nine meetings between the Patriots and Jets produced fewer than 43 points in total.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go under 42.5 points at -110</strong></p>

Boston Bruins vs Toronto Maple Leafs Betting Pick & Prediction 4/24/24

<p>The Cleveland Indians head to Rogers Centre in Toronto on Monday, August 2, to open a four-game set against the Toronto Blue Jays. These two American League foes will also wrap up their seven-game regular-season series, so we’re bringing you the best Indians vs. Blue Jays betting pick.</p>



<p>Back in May, Toronto won a three-game set at Progressive Field in Cleveland, 2-1. The Blue Jays opened as firm favorites for the opening clash of this series, according to <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline/">BetOnline Sportsbook</a>, while the totals sit at 8.5 runs.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<h2><strong>The Indians are still chasing the wild card&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<p>The Cleveland Indians improved to 51-50 on the season with a 12-11 victory at the Chicago White Sox this past Saturday. It was their sixth win in 14 outings since the All-Star break, so the Indians have to improve a lot if they want to stay in the playoff race. They were five and a half games behind the bottom wild card on Sunday.</p>



<p>Cleveland has scored 61 runs over its last 14 outings, batting just .239 and posting the ninth-worst OPS in the majors in that span (.718). On the other side of the ball, the Tribe has registered an awful 5.33 ERA in the second half of the season.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/Indians/status/1421817996071342080
</div></figure>



<p>Rookie Eli Morgan will get the starting call Monday in Canada, and he’s 1-3 with a horrible 7.47 ERA and 1.37 WHIP in seven starts. The 25-year-old right-hander has allowed three or more earned runs in each of his seven major-league starts.</p>



<p>Interestingly, Morgan met the Blue Jays in his MLB debut on May 28. He was charged for a loss after surrendering a whopping six earned runs on eight hits and a couple of walks through just 2.2 frames of work.&nbsp;</p>



<h2><strong>The Blue Jays continue their 12-game homestand</strong></h2>



<p>The Toronto Blue Jays have finally returned to Rogers Centre, winning the first two contests of a three-game series against the Kansas City Royals (Sunday’s closer has been excluded from the analysis). They improved to 53-48 on the season with a 4-0 victory over the Royals this past Saturday, so the Blue Jays were three and a half games behind the bottom wild card on Sunday.</p>



<p>Toronto has gone 8-6 since the All-Star break, scoring 79 runs in the process and tallying the best OPS in baseball (.850). The Blue Jays have already smacked 27 home runs in the second half of the season. On the other side of the ball, they’ve registered a solid 3.71 ERA and 1.23 WHIP.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/BlueJays/status/1421561485688557577
</div></figure>



<p>Robbie Ray will take the mound Monday, and the 29-year-old left-hander is 9-5 with a 3.04 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in 20 starts this season. He’s been terrific lately, going 3-1 over his previous three starts and yielding just five earned runs through 24.2 frames of work. Ray will get the Indians for the first time since 2014.</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>Cleveland:</strong></p>



<ul><li>3-6 in the last nine games against the American League&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>Toronto:</strong></p>



<ul><li>4-1 in the last five games overall</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-cleveland-indians-vs-toronto-blue-jays-pick"><strong>Cleveland Indians vs. Toronto Blue Jays Pick:</strong></h2>



<p>The Blue Jays are killing it at the dish at the moment, so I’m backing them to torture Eli Morgan once more. The talented righty has had a tough time in the majors, struggling against some much weaker offensive teams than the Blue Jays, while the Indians bullpen has recorded a poor 5.40 ERA since the All-Star.</p>



<p>George Springer has six dingers in his last 12 games and 47 at-bats, while Teoscar Hernandez and Bo Bichette have combined for ten homers in the second half of the season. Furthermore, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has a 1.007 OPS in his last 51 at-bats, and Marcus Semien is slugging .510 over his previous 14 appearances. The Blue Jays’ loaded lineup should make the difference in this one.</p>



<p></p>





<p><strong>The Total:</strong></p>



<p>I’ve mentioned how good the Blue Jays’ offense is, and if the Indians continue to struggle on the mound, we should see a proper high-scoring affair. I’m concerned about the Tribe’s offense, especially when it takes on Robbie Ray.</p>



<p>Anyway, the Blue Jays bullpen has been struggling for most of the season. Since the All-Star break, Toronto relievers have recorded a 4.33 ERA and a terrible 5.38 FIP. Hereof, I’m backing the over.</p>
