We have a four-game game slate in the NHL scheduled for Friday, February 10, and here you can get the best Maple Leafs vs. Blue Jackets betting pick and odds.



Columbus is desperate to avoid the fourth defeat in a row when they host Toronto at Nationwide Arena. The Maple Leafs are -245 moneyline favorites on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betdsi/">BetDSI Sportsbook</a>, while the total is set at 6.5 goals. These conference rivals will meet for the first time this season.



Maple Leafs were powerless against the Bruins at home



The Toronto Maple Leafs (31-13-7-1, 21-31 ATS) were on a five-game home stand on which they secured three wins but concluded it with a 5-2 loss to the Boston Bruins. It was a good opportunity for the Maple Leafs to get a W and come closer to the conference-leading Bruins, but they lost and now are 13 points behind Boston. Toronto will travel to Columbus for the first game of a back-to-back H2H set, after which they will return home for a three-game stay.



The Leafs’ goalie Ilya Samsonov didn’t have the best of games as he allowed five goals from 29 shots, and the goals from Mitchell Marner and Calle Jarnkrok were not enough to avoid a loss. Pavel Zacha bagged a couple of goals for the Bruins in the third period to seal the deal for the visitors. This season, Mitchell Marner leads Toronto in points with 60 (G 19, A 41). William Nylander has 59 (G 28, A 31), and Auston Matthews chips in 53 points (G 25, A 28).



Ilya Samsonov (17-6-2) is likely going to start at the goal against Columbus on Friday. The 25-year-old is conceding 2.42 goals per game this year with a .913 SV% and two shutouts.



D T.J. Brodie (ribs), D Jake Muzzin (neck), G Matt Murray (undisclosed), and C Auston Matthews (knee) are out indefinitely and will not feature in Columbus on Friday.



Blue Jackets are again on a losing streak



The Columbus Blue Jackets (15-32-3-1, 23-28 ATS) managed to win two out of three games as they beat Edmonton and San Jose, but returned to losing ways with defeats to the Canucks, Kraken, and Capitals. The latest 4-3 loss to the Washington Capitals came at home in overtime, which means that the Blue Jackets are now the team with the worst record in the entire NHL. Columbus has 34 points, ten behind the Montreal Canadiens, who are a place above in the Eastern Conference standings.



The Blue Jackets were trailing for the most part of the game against Washington, but Johnny Gaudreau forced overtime to earn a point for Columbus. However, the hosts couldn’t get two points as Evgeny Kuznetsov scored a winner for the Capitals. Thus far this campaign, Gaudreau is the only Blue Jacket among the top 100 players in the NHL when it comes to points. He contributes 49 points (G 14, A 35).



Joonas Korpisalo (8-9-3) is expected to take his place in the cage against the Maple Leafs on Friday. The 28-year-old is allowing 3.35 goals per contest along with a .908 SV% and no shutouts.



RW Jakub Voracek (concussion), LW Gustav Nyquist (upper body), D Zach Werenski (shoulder), and D Jake Bean (upper body) are out indefinitely and will not play against the Maple Leafs on Friday. D Nick Blankenburg (upper body) and D Adam Boqvist (upper body) are questionable.



Trends:



Toronto:



<ul>
<li>11-5 in the last 16 vs. a team with a losing record</li>



<li>9-3 in the last 12 after scoring two goals or less in their previous game</li>



<li>5-1 in the last six games following a loss of three or more goals</li>
</ul>



Columbus:



<ul>
<li>1-8 in the last nine vs. Atlantic Division rivals</li>



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



Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Columbus Blue Jackets Pick



The Maple Leafs are without a road win in their last three games, but the fact they are facing the weakest team in the league is enough for me to back them in this one. Toronto has a top-10 offense that averages 3.37 goals per game, while Columbus has the third-worst offense in the NHL that scores 2.45 gpg. The Leafs also have a way stronger defense (2.67 gpg opposite Columbus’ 3.84 gpg), and despite missing Auston Matthews, I have no doubt the visitors will get an easy victory on Friday.



Pick: Take the Maple Leafs at -1.5 Puck Line (+100)



The Total



Ilya Samsonov conceded more than three goals on just two occasions in his last 11 starts, and I don’t think he will allow more than two against Columbus here. The Maple Leafs are not impressing offensively of late, but they should be good enough for three or four goals against this leaky defense. Still, I don’t expect to see a high-scoring affair. Under is 3-1-1 in the Maple Leafs’ last five after allowing five goals or more in their previous game, while Under is 12-5 in the Blue Jackets’ last 17 vs. a team with a winning record.



Pick: Go Under 6.5 goals (-110)

Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Columbus Blue Jackets Odds, Pick, Prediction 2/10/23

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.



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.



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



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.



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.



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-18th in the NHL) while tallying 4.18 in a return (1st) on a 12.6 shooting percentage (also 1st). Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl have already accounted for 23 points each.



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



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.



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-21st in the NHL).



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



Trends:



Edmonton:



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



Buffalo:



<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>



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.



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.



Pick: Take Edmonton Oilers&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;



The Total:



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.



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.



Pick: Go over&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Long Beach State Beach vs CSUN Matadors Betting Pick & Prediction 2/17/24

You know when you’re throwing darts and you need a double 20 to win? Invariably, you throw one just above the wire for zero points and then throw one just under the wire for 20 points. Then you have to come back up and aim for double 10 and do the same thing again. And then your friend wins the game?

That happened to us last week with the O’Reilly Auto Parts 300. There were only three logical choices to win – Christopher Bell, Cole Custer, and Tyler Reddick. Reddick was the pole sitter. Custer was the best regular season driver on 1.5-mile tracks. Bell won the race. Last week’s article suggested a unit on each Custer and Reddick with a profit no matter which guy won, but neither guy could get us there.

So, we now move on the Desert Diamond West Valley Casino 200 at ISM Raceway in Avondale, Arizona. Formerly known as Phoenix International Raceway, this one-mile loop just outside of the big city is the site of the final race of the Round of 8. The championship race awaits next week at Homestead-Miami.

We’ll break this one down with some analysis of the track, the drivers, and the playoff picture, with odds on the right-hand side for desktop viewers and down below the comment box for mobile viewers.

&nbsp;
<h5>Last Chance Saloon</h5>
Chase Briscoe, Michael Annett, Austin Cindric, and Noah Gragson are in win or go home mode. There is a small chance that Briscoe can catch Justin Allgaier without a win, but the 18-point gap between the two drivers looms rather large, considering Allgaier has not finished lower than ninth since the second race at Daytona on July 5. Allgaier has four top-five finishes in five playoff races.

Cindric would appear to have the best shot. He’s been second, third, third, 25th, and third in his five playoff races thus far. Maybe Briscoe has a good shot, considering he’s won a stage and led the most laps twice through five playoff events. We can safely close the book on Gragson and Annett.

Briscoe is +1320 and Cindric is +1920. Considering how big these prices are, a little Hot N Fresh pizza money on the two long shots isn’t a bad idea. After all, they’ll need to drive very aggressively. It may be in the best interest of guys like Bell, Custer, and Reddick to stay out of the way at times and not get their cars banged up going into next weekend.

&nbsp;
<h5>Jingle Bell</h5>
Bell won this race last year, but after finishing 37th at Kansas and 32nd at Texas, the stakes were a little higher. This season, he is the points leader. The points reset at Homestead-Miami anyway and the highest finish among the four drivers will get the championship, so he doesn’t have as much to vie for this time around. He was 30th in the race at Phoenix earlier this year, but he did win Stage 2.

The winner in the spring was Kyle Busch, who has 11 wins at this level at Phoenix. At least he’s not in the race this weekend. Reddick was third and Custer was fourth. Those two guys are lined at +330 this week, with Bell the clear-cut favorite at +130.

Bell was the only one of the three to post a top-five finish last spring at ISM. In the fall race, Bell won and Daniel Hemric was second. Custer was eighth and Reddick was sixth. Shorter and intermediate tracks have been the strong suits for Bell this season. He’s got wins at Bristol, Dover, Iowa, New Hampshire, and Richmond. His Texas win was just his second on a 1.5-mile track.

Adding more fuel to the Cindric fire, he was fourth in this race last year as a rookie.

&nbsp;
<h5>Justin Time</h5>
Or this could be the week for Justin Allgaier. Allgaier won three stages at Phoenix last year, but couldn’t get the overall race win. He was second with the most laps led and the pole in the spring race. In the fall race, he won stages 1 and 2, but finished 24th. Earlier this year, he was 14th and never really threatened.

Allgaier still doesn’t have a win this season, but he has 15 top-five finishes and seven stage wins. He’s getting closer. He could use the win to add an exclamation point to his spot in the final four, but it would only be necessary to win if one of the four drivers below him pulls the upset and keeps him out of the playoffs.

Allgaier will have some controlled aggression this week. Barring a win for the four drivers below him, he basically just needs some reasonable number of points to advance. However, he may want to go for that win and remove all doubt. He’s +1190 this week.

&nbsp;
<h5>Picks</h5>
Look, one of Bell, Custer, and Reddick probably wins this race. They’re just the best on the circuit right now. Bell is the best short and intermediate driver, so he is a deserving favorite and could very well repeat in this race.

But, I think this is a week for throwing some of those aforementioned darts in hopes of hitting a bullseye. Allgaier, Briscoe, and Cindric are all live because of what is at stake. These are small investments, say maybe a quarter or a half unit to get a nice pay day. That would be the approach that I would take this week. Reddick and Custer each have one win at a one-mile distance, so they can win, but this is a race to take some chances, much like the drivers will. Allgaier was the favorite here last year and now we're getting +1190. That is some good value.

Charlotte Hornets vs Memphis Grizzlies Betting Pick & Prediction 3/13/24

The 2022 Stanley Cup Final starts Wednesday, June 15, so we bring you the best Lightning vs. Avalanche betting pick and odds. According to <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline/">BetOnline Sportsbook</a>, the Tampa Bay Lightning are +150 underdogs to win their third straight championship, while the Colorado Avalanche sit at -170 to grab their first title since 2001.&nbsp;&nbsp;



The Avs are -160 home favorites to win Wednesday’s opening clash of the series. The Bolts are listed as +135 moneyline dogs, while the totals are set at 6.0 goals.&nbsp;



The Lightning lean on Andrei Vasilevskiy&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;



After sweeping the second-round series against the Florida Panthers, the Tampa Bay Lightning erased a two-game deficit in the 2022 Stanley Cup Eastern Conference Finals and eliminated the New York Rangers in six games. They’ve outscored the Rangers 12-5 over their last four meetings and fully deserved a chance to fight for a three-peat.&nbsp;



Andrei Vasilevskiy had a rough first round, allowing 22 goals across seven games against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Still, the 27-year-old netminder turned aside 30 of Toronto’s 31 shots in Game 7. Vasilevskiy was a monster in the semis (.981 save percentage) and nothing short of spectacular in the final four games of the conference finals.&nbsp;



Winger Nikita Kucherov leads the way for skaters with seven goals and 16 assists this postseason. Center Steven Stamkos added nine goals and six assists, while winger Ondrej Palat has eight goals and eight assists on his playoff tally. Palat has found the back of the net in six of his previous eight appearances.&nbsp;&nbsp;



The Avalanche had an easy job in the West&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;



The Colorado Avalanche have been on cruise control through the 2022 NHL Western Conference Playoffs. They swept the Nashville Predators in the first round and did the same with the Edmonton Oilers in the conference finals. The Avs also needed six games to eliminate the St. Louis Blues in the second round.&nbsp;



Darcy Kuemper is struggling with injuries this postseason, so Pavel Francouz got four starts and a couple of relief appearances, tallying a 6-0 record with a 2.86 GAA and .906 save percentage. Kuemper has missed the previous three games against the Oilers and should return for Game 1 against the Bolts. Darcy is 6-2 with a 2.65 GAA and .897 save percentage in the 2022 Stanley Cup.&nbsp;



The Avs have dropped 22 goals on Edmonton in just four games. Center Nathan MacKinnon has accounted for six goals in his last six games and leads the way for Colorado with 11 goals and seven assists this postseason. Keep your eyes on defenseman Cale Makar and winger Mikko Rantanen, who have combined for ten goals and 29 assists over the previous 14 games.&nbsp;



Trends:



Tampa Bay:&nbsp;



<ul><li>10-2 in the last 12 games overall&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li>6-3 in the last nine games against Colorado&nbsp;</li><li>6-1 in the last seven games against the Western Conference&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



Colorado:



<ul><li>1-5 in the last six home games against Tampa Bay&nbsp;</li></ul>



Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Colorado Avalanche Pick&nbsp;



I like the Lightning’s chances to get one of the first two games at Ball Arena, but Andrei Vasilevskiy has to start the series on the right foot. Over the previous three series openers, Vasilevskiy has allowed 12 goals, and I’m expecting a much better performance from the 2021 Conn Smythe Trophy winner this time around.&nbsp;



Colorado is arguably a better offensive team than Tampa Bay. The Avs swept a two-game series against the Bolts this past regular season (3-2 at home and 4-3 in a shootout at Tampa), and the bookies are backing them to win the championship. I’m looking for a tight battle in the opener which could easily go either way if Andrei Vasilevskiy and Tampa’s defense show up.&nbsp;



Pick: Take Tampa Bay Lightning at +135&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;



The Total:



The Lightning have plenty of experience and should know how to slow down the Avs, who’ll certainly try to speed up things and take a lot of shots toward Andrei Vasilevskiy early in this game. Colorado is capable of playing tough defense, too, so I’m taking the under on the totals.&nbsp;



The under is 5-0 in Tampa Bay’s last five outings, 5-1 in the Bolts’ last six showings on the road, and 4-2 in Colorado’s previous six outings on the home ice.&nbsp;



Pick: Go under 6.0 goals at +104&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
