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.

It’s still more than 3.5 months until NFL betting really fires up, with the start of the regular season. That said, you can already wager on every Week 1 game. And while you can’t yet make selections in popular Vegas sportsbook NFL picks contests just yet — nor would you want to — there’s still […]
It took 46 games and 11 series, but the New York Mets finally came out on the short end of a series after dropping two of three to the Mariners at Citi Field over the weekend. Now the Mets host a St. Louis Cardinals squad that just tallied 20 runs in consecutive home victories over […]
