Ice picks: Sunday's best NHL bets

Edmonton Oilers at St. Louis Blues (-215, 5.5)

How do you make a pick between the worst road team and the worst home team in the NHL?

Well, you have to decide which one has given up on the season and which is still playing.

"We're going to keep on winning hockey games," said St. Louis interim coach Davis Payne. "Until they tell us we're not eligible (for the playoffs), we're going to make sure that hey, if there's fight left in us, we're going to put it out there.”

The Oilers have been suprisingly good lately, winning three of their last four as underdogs of -200 or more, but they won’t get to double-digit road wins this season.

Pick: Blues

Toronto Maple Leafs at Pittsburgh Penguins (-215, 5.5)

Even out of the playoff picture, the Maple Leafs are playing competitive hockey.

Toronto has won eight of 11 heading into Saturday’s matchup against New York and much of that success has to do with goalie Jonas Gustavsson.

The rookie has won six straight games behind a 1.92 goals-against average and a .927 save percentage. He is working on replacing Jean-Sebastien Giguere as the team’s No. 1 goalie heading into next season.

"It's good for our confidence," said Gustavsson of the Leafs’ recent success.

The Pens have produced three consecutive unders in the second leg of their last three back-to-backs.

Toronto has played to the under in six straight games and are also 3-0 under in its last three B2B situations.

Pick: Under

StevenGA, please do us all a favor and go away. You are the only guy that continually goes 0-for-the day but comes back the next day acting like he is still betting. It's a tired routine boy.

I Think you have to go back to the over in CHI / CLB game until one of them finds a way to play defence against each other. Some teams just clash abilities or weakness in certain areas and it = a low or high score. These 2 teams seem to have that effect on the other. ..........3 units on the over 5.5

Okay, the Capitals lost so the very first game of my 4-teamer is shot down in flames by the Flames. I just added another "to win 1 unit" on New Jersey, and also a half-unit 2-team parlay that pays almost even money, on CHICAGO -300 vs Columbus and SAN JOSE -210 vs Colorado

Hey Jayminator, I'm with you in saying the Flyers are done and Atlanta will grab their spot soon! Devils are gonna put a whoopin' on Philly!!

Well my picks for the day are NJ, COL (need to play desperate now to keep spot), and the EDM - STL and the CLB - CHI games are tough to call so I'm thinking both may go to a shoot-out! I'm staying well away from TOR right now but I still think Giguere will get lit-up by the Pens.

Make the losing stop! Yesterday I lost 2.55 units, making 7 units lost in the 3 days. Today I played a rare 4 team ML Big Juice parlay an on the heavy home favorites. And then I went against the trends on the Devils/Flyers and played New Jersey as they are the better team and the Flyers are falling apart down the stretch with injuries and lack of scoring. Brian Boucher is now their #1 goalie and they have no real backup. Also, the Flyers have lost 5 in a row and 7 of their last 8 overall. Good Luck today to everyone. New Jersey -110 vs PHILADELPHIA, to win 1 unit. Parlay 4t, WASH -270, PITT -215, CHICAGO -300, SAN JOSE -210, 1 unit wins 2.95.

Watch out for the Flames TSB, very desparate team right now because they still have a slim playoff chance. I think Washington is overpriced, Flames +1.5 at the same price as Was reg might be a better play. BOLA on your plays tomorrow

Analysis:

Play On: NY Yankees w/Pettitte vs Moore

Note: The Yankees and Rays open a key four-game division series in New York Thursday evening where Andy Pettitte matches serves with Matt Moore in a battle of left-handers at Yankee Stadium.  Pettitte takes the mound knowing he is 11-6 in his home career team starts against Tampa Bay and 8-2 in his last ten team starts during the month of June. 

With Moore in horrible current form with a 13.90 ERA his last three starts, including 11 walks and 11 strikeouts in that span, look for the Pinstripes to come up big here tonight.  We recommend a 1-unit play on the Yankees.  Thank you and good luck as always.   

Marc concludes a sensational red-hot run in the NBA playoffs (16-2 last eighteen selections) with his winning key play inside Thursday's Game Seven championship finale, an Over/Under total you won't want to miss.  Go out a winner with this 100% ATS beauty - you'll be glad you did!
