Just how much have the Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers lit up the scoreboard in their best-of-7 conference semifinals series? The 23 combined goals that the Alberta rivals tallied in their first two games in Calgary exceeded the combined goal total from the first two games of the other three conference semifinal series: Panthers-Lightning, Hurricanes-Rangers…
The Colorado Avalanche played with fire throughout Game 1 of their Western Conference semifinals series against the St. Louis Blues, yet escaped unscathed. So the Avs stuck their hands in the flames again in Thursday’s Game 2. This time, they got burned — as did bettors who laid a big price on Colorado. Speaking of…
It was a tale of two NHL playoff games — in two different countries — Wednesday night. Down in the southeastern U.S., the Carolina Hurricanes and New York Rangers slugged it out in a classic low-scoring overtime nailbiter. North of the border, the Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers engaged in old-fashioned shootout that featured less…
Their $340 million shortstop hasn’t played a single inning (and won’t until probably July). Their co-ace pitcher didn’t make his season debut until 48 hours ago. And they’ve hit seven fewer home runs (30) than they’ve allowed (37). Despite all that, the San Diego Padres enter Friday with the fifth-best record in baseball (tied with…
With 12 baseball games under the lights, it’s no surprise to discover some differences of opinion in Friday’s MLB betting market.

The opening round of the NHL’s Stanley Cup playoffs was as exhilarating as it was illogical. Exhilarating because 51 games were played across eight series — five of which went the distance, with two others going six games. Illogical because the 16 participating teams combined to score 328 goals. That adage about playoff teams tightening…
All four teams on Wednesday’s NHL playoff odds board will be coming off at least a two-day respite. To say the break was welcomed would be an understatement, seeing that all four squads needed seven games to dispatch their first-round opponents. Not only that, but each series clincher came with a side of high-stress, high-stakes…
In Monday’s MLB betting report, we noted just one matchup that featured definitive two-way action. Tuesday presents more of the same, at least at DraftKings, where there’s just one game in which wagers are going one direction and cash is going the other. And what do you know, as was the case Monday, the same…
After a quintet of thrilling Game 7s over the weekend — the final pair decided in overtime — the NHL took a well-deserved breather Monday.
