NHL | Hurricanes vs Bruins
Play on: UNDER 5½ -130
T.M. Selection: Canes/Bruins under (1* FREE PLAY)
After a gruelling seven game series win over the Leafs, Boston needed six games to get by a tough Blue Jackets team. Carolina got the better of the Capitals in seven games in Round 1, but then it took care of the Islanders in four games in Round 2. That means that the Hurricanes enter well rested at the most opportune of times. So will Carolina catch Boston off guard here as well? These two teams have been riding great goaltending to get to this point and I think that the netminders have a legitimate shot at “stealing the show” in Game 1 as well. Consider the “under” in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

NHL | Hurricanes vs Bruins
Play on: Bruins -147 at BetOnline
Ricky’s 1* Free Play on the Boston Bruins.
Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant.
- Recent history of “slow starts.” Carolina upset the Capitals in seven games in the first round, before then steamrolling the Islanders in four games in the second. The Bruins beat the Leafs in seven games in their opening round series, before then beating the Blue Jackets in six games. These teams numbers are very evenly matched on both ends of the ice. It’s interesting to note though that the Bruins have scored 13 goals in the first period so far in the playoffs, while conceding only five. Carolina on the other hand has been forced to play from behind, managing just six goals in the first periods of games so far in the postseason, while allowing 13. Boston also has the advantage on special teams, converting on 28.6 percent of its power plays in the playoffs, while killing 83.8 percent. Carolina on the other hand has scored on just 10.5 percent of its power plays, while killing only 75 percent.
Key Trends:
- Carolina is just 3-7 (-6.1 units) this year when playing with three or more days rest.
- Boston is 31-14 (+10.3 units) in its last 45 when playing with two days rest.
The verdict: A fair price considering all of the above information. I definitely think that the home side is worth a second look in Game 1!

MLB | Braves vs Diamondbacks
Play on: Diamondbacks +110 at YouWager
My 1* Free Play is on Arizona (6:40 EST).
The Diamondbacks salvaged the finale of their three-game interleague series with the Rays with a 3-2 extra-innings victory yesterday and I believe they’ll now carry that momentum over in the opener of this one at home vs. the Braves.
The visitors hand the ball to Mike Soroka, while the home side counters with Luke Weaver.
These two opposed each other in Atlanta back on April 18th and the D-Backs won that contest by a score of 4-1. Weaver (3-1, 3.29 ERA) went five-scoreless, while Soroka (3-1, 1.14) allowed one run over five frames of work.
The Braves come in with zero momentum though after getting swept in LA and I think they’ll have their hands full here in this difficult road venue as well.
Note that Arizona is also expected to welcome back slugger Alex Avila to the line-up in this series.
It’s all good news for the Diamondbacks right now and I think at this price, that Weaver is the correct call on home soil. Consider Arizona on Thursday night.
Good luck…Larry
