Winnipeg Jets vs Calgary Flames Betting Pick & Prediction 10/26/24

<p>The 2022 NHL All-Star Weekend is behind us, and the betting action goes on with a couple of games on Monday, February 7, including the marquee Eastern Conference showdown at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, so we have prepared the best Hurricanes vs. Maple Leafs betting pick and odds.</p>



<p>Carolina and Toronto continue their three-game regular-season series with Game 2. Back in October, the Hurricanes beat the Maple Leafs 4-1 as small -120 home favorites. Toronto is a -121 home fave this time around, while the totals sit at 6.0 goals on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline/">BetOnline Sportsbook</a>.</p>



<h2 id="the-canes-eye-their-fifth-straight-w">The Canes eye their fifth straight W </h2>



<p>The Carolina Hurricanes (31-9-2) entered the All-Star break as the best team in the Metropolitan Division. They’ve won seven of their previous eight games overall and are riding a four-game winning streak following a 2-1 home victory over the San Jose Sharks.</p>



<p>The Hurricanes tally 3.48 goals per game (5<sup>th</sup> in the NHL) on a 10.6 shooting percentage (6<sup>th</sup>). They are tied with Colorado and Anaheim for the eighth-best power-play percentage in the league (25.0%). Sebastian Aho leads the way for Carolina with 19 goals and 26 assists, while Andrei Svechnikov has recorded 16 goals and 22 dishes so far this term.</p>



<p>Frederik Andersen is expected to guard the cage Monday against Toronto. He’s 24-6-0 with an excellent 2.01 GAA and a .929 save percentage on the season. The Canes boast the lowest-scoring defense in the NHL, yielding only 2.33 goals per contest.</p>



<h2 id="the-maple-leafs-look-for-their-sixth-victory-in-a-row">The Maple Leafs look for their sixth victory in a row          </h2>



<p>The Toronto Maple Leafs entered the All-Star weekend on a high note, rolling on a five-game winning streak. During that stretch, the Maple Leafs have scored a whopping 27 goals, so Sheldon Keefe’s boys are currently third in the Atlantic Division with a 29-10-3 record.</p>



<p>Toronto owns the fourth-highest scoring offense in the league, tallying 3.60 goals per contest. The Maple Leafs rank ninth in the NHL in shooting percentage (10.5) and first in the power-play percentage (30.5%), while Auston Matthews leads the way with 29 goals and 22 assists in 39 appearances.</p>



<p>On the other side of the ice, the Maple Leafs surrender 2.64 goals per game (6<sup>th</sup> in the NHL). Jack Campbell is expected to patrol the crease Monday against the Canes, and he’s 21-6-3 with a 2.30 GAA and a .925 save percentage in 2021-22.</p>



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



<p><strong>Carolina:</strong></p>



<ul><li>N/A</li></ul>



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



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



<h2 id="h-carolina-hurricanes-vs-toronto-maple-leafs-pick">Carolina Hurricanes vs. Toronto Maple Leafs Pick</h2>



<p>There’s no easy money in this matchup. Both Carolina and Toronto have played exceptionally well so far this season and are legitimate championship contenders, so their Monday’s encounter could easily go either way.</p>



<p>I lean the Maple Leafs because they are a rare team with enough offensive firepower to deal with this stout Carolina defense. Toronto has won 14 of its previous 17 games on the home ice, and the Maple Leafs have scored at least four goals in each of their last five showings at Scotiabank Arena.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Toronto Maple Leafs at -121&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



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



<p>While the Maple Leafs boast the best power-play percentage in the league, the Hurricanes lead the NHL in penalty-killing percentage (89.0%). Toronto is third in penalty-killing percentage (84.3%), so it’s fair to say that both Maple Leafs and Hurricanes own excellent special teams.</p>



<p>Hereof, I don’t expect to see a proper high-scoring affair, though you never know with the amount of offensive talent on both sides. Three of the last five encounters between Toronto and Carolina have ended with an identical 4-1 result, while the other two have produced ridiculous nine and 14 goals in total.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go under 6.0 goals at +107&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>

Northern Iowa Panthers vs Indiana State Sycamores Betting Pick & Prediction 3/9/24

<p>The 2022 Stanley Cup continues Thursday, May 5, with the Eastern Conference Conference First Round clash at Madison Square Garden in New York, so we have prepared the best Penguins vs. Rangers betting pick and odds.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Rangers host the Pens for Game 2, looking to tie the series as -140 moneyline favorites on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker/">Bookmaker Sportsbook</a>. The Penguins are listed as +120 road underdogs with a total of 5.5 goals.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>The Pens hope for another upset&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>The Pittsburgh Penguins took the first blood in this series, playing as +125 moneyline dogs. They beat the Rangers 4-3 in triple overtime thanks to Evgeni Malkin’s 21<sup>st</sup> goal in 2021-22, while Casey DeSmith and Louis Domingue combined for 65 saves.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Pens took a whopping 83 shots in Game 1. Jake Guentzel scored a couple of goals, Bryan Rust had one goal and a pair of dishes, while Sidney Crosby accounted for two assists. DeSmith yielded three goals on 51 shots, and the 30-year-old netminder exited midway through the second overtime period due to a lower-body injury.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Louis Domingue made 17 stops in relief last Tuesday. He’s guarded the cage only twice this past regular season, allowing four goals on 83 shots in the process. DeSmith is questionable to play in Game 2, so we could see Domingue in the crease Thursday at The Garden.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>The Rangers blew a two-goal lead in the opener&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>The New York Rangers had a 2-0 lead after 3:08 of play in the second period of Game 1, but they allowed the Pens to tie the clash at 2-2. Chris Kreider’s shorthanded goal got the Rangers another lead that lasted for only a minute and a half, as we saw five goals in the second period.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Igor Shesterkin surrendered four goals on 83 shots, posting the second-best record in Stanley Cup history with 79 saves. The 26-year-old goalie made a few sensational stops on the night, and he’ll certainly get another starting call in Game 2.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Shesterkin was one of the best goaltenders in the league in 2021-22. He went 36-13-4 with a strong 2.07 GAA and .935 save percentage, tallying six shutouts in the process. The Rangers had the second-lowest scoring defense in the NHL, yielding just 2.52 goals per game.&nbsp;</p>



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



<p><strong>Pittsburgh:&nbsp;</strong></p>



<ul><li>2-5 in the last seven games on the road&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>NY Rangers:</strong></p>



<ul><li>19-11 in the last 30 games overall&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>Pittsburgh Penguins vs. New York Rangers Pick&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>The Rangers won three of their four encounters with the Penguins last regular season. I’m expecting them to bounce back from a tough loss in Game 1 of their playoff series against the Pens, who might miss their starting goaltender.&nbsp;</p>



<p>New York, on the other side, can count on Igor Shesterkin to put on another strong performance. In four regular-season starts against the Penguins, Shesterkin has gone 3-1-0 with a ridiculous 1.01 GAA and .960 save percentage.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take New York Rangers at -140&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>After blowing a two-goal lead in the opener, the Rangers need to slow down things in Game 2, especially if they take the lead once more. New York cannot allow the Penguins to take a lot of shots, as Igor Shesterkin is not invincible, and the Pens certainly own some top-notch players on their roster.&nbsp;</p>



<p>I’ve mentioned how good the Rangers’ defense has been during the regular season. On the other side, the Penguins finished fifth in the league in goals allowed per game (2.74). Both teams are doing a great job with a man down, so I’m backing the under.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go under 5.5 goals at +110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>For a while, it looked as though the Chicago Cubs were finally going to have a really good offense and pair it with a good pitching staff to make a push in what was thought to be a wide-open NL Central Division. Well, that narrative has changed. Now, with some big names approaching free agency, the Cubs are being viewed as more of a Trade Deadline seller than a playoff contender.</p>



<p>The Philadelphia Phillies are in a pretty mediocre division as well, but haven’t really been able to take advantage to this point and make a push to be atop the standings. Two teams that we could call disappointments meet at Wrigley Field on Tuesday evening, but one team is expected to be less disappointing today.</p>



<p>A line move on the Phillies has driven this line up into the -130s at <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betus/"><strong>BetUS Sportsbook</strong></a> with market-shapers betting on Philadelphia with Aaron Nola on the mound against Jake Arrieta.</p>



<h2 id="h-philadelphia-phillies"><strong><u>Philadelphia Phillies</u></strong></h2>



<p>The Phillies once again have major bullpen concerns that have lowered their ceiling. Even though Tuesday’s starter Aaron Nola has been joined in a really good rotation by Zack Wheeler and Zach Eflin, a below average offense and a terrible bullpen have left the Phillies in neutral yet again.</p>



<p>The Phillies are 40-42, but boast the worst run differential of any of the five NL East teams. They rank 16th in wOBA at .308, but have just a 93 wRC+, so they’ve been unable to generate a lot of offense on a consistent basis, even though a lot of their guys have stayed healthy throughout most of the year. They strike out a lot and struggle to string hits together with a low batting average and a low on-base percentage.</p>



<p>It has to be tough for guys like Nola, Wheeler, and Eflin to know that run support will be so fleeting. All they can do is attempt to keep their teammates in the game until the offense comes around. For the most part, Nola has done that this season with a 4.44 ERA and a 3.47 FIP. Nola has hit the skids a little bit lately, as he allowed six runs to the Giants on June 19 and then just allowed seven runs to the Marlins in his most recent start.</p>



<p>Those two outings really drove up Nola’s ERA and now we see some positive regression signs with a FIP that is nearly a full run lower than that. His LOB% of 72.3% is actually around league average, so we’ll be looking for his .331 BABIP to come down to aid the cause. Nola also has some gnarly Cluster Luck splits, as opponents have posted a .384 wOBA in 88 PA with runners in scoring position.</p>



<p>It certainly doesn’t help that when Nola leaves the game with men on base, there aren’t a lot of options to strand those guys. The Phillies have consistently had bullpen issues and they have one of the worst relief units in baseball again this season.</p>



<h2 id="h-chicago-cubs"><strong><u>Chicago Cubs</u></strong></h2>



<p>Ironically, the bullpen has actually been one of the strengths this season for the Cubs, but a reversal of fortunes looms large at this point. The Cubs now sit 8.5 games behind the Brewers. They were in first place as recently as June 24. Chicago has lost 10 in a row and none have been uglier than yesterday’s 13-3 beating at the hands of the Phillies.</p>



<p>It is impossible to quantify and we’re just on the outside looking in, but there seemed to be a good bit of dysfunction entering the season for the Cubs. They were scrounging for cheap players in free agency as a billionaire cried poor. Impending free agents Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo, and Javier Baez seemed to have little interest in staying on board. The Cubs hired David Ross as manager to replace Joe Maddon and that led some to wonder if Ross was more friend than skipper.</p>



<p>Add it all up and the Cubs were a team that we maybe should have pegged for this type of season. The bullpen held it together for a while by carrying a top-five ERA and LOB%, but as that number has decreased, so has the number of wins that the Cubs have been able to secure.</p>



<p>The offense has been among the worst in baseball over the last two months as well, so Jake Arrieta shouldn’t expect a whole lot of run support here. Arrieta has a 5.57 ERA and a 5.84 FIP in his 72.2 innings this season, as the quality of his stuff continues to decline. Arrieta has seen some notable spin rate decreases since the crackdown and has allowed 30 runs, with 22 earned, in his last 25.1 innings of work.</p>



<h2 id="h-phillies-vs-cubs-free-pick"><strong><u>Phillies vs. Cubs Free Pick</u></strong></h2>



<p>It pays to be on top of things in the MLB betting market. The line move on the Phillies very much looks like the right side here as the Cubs stare down the barrel of extending their losing streak to 11 games. Those that got in early got a better line, but there is still some meat left on the bone for the rest of us to make the Phillies a pick at a fair price.</p>
