The Philadelphia Flyers and the Montreal Canadiens will go Head-to-head in the opening round of the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs after the Canadiens managed to pull a massive upset over the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Flyers were able to go undefeated in their round robin to capture the #1 seed heading into the playoffs. If you ask anyone what got the Canadiens this far they would most certainly tell you Carey Price is the reason, and the fact is, I wouldn’t really be able to argue with that. One thing however about this Montreal Canadiens team that needs to be mentioned is that they played smart team hockey in each and every one of their games vs the Penguins; they may not light up the score sheet every single night but they played defensive hockey and did a great job of keeping the puck away from the front of their net and shut down top players on the Penguins, something I expect to happen once again when the Canadiens and Flyers meet. When goaltender Carey Price is locked in, he is the clear #1 goaltender in the world and he sure looked like that vs the Penguins. Anything that Price could see, he was stopping. With the Montreal Canadiens playing against the #1 seed in the eastern conference, I expect that defensive mentality to only get stronger, the Candiens will be a team to bet unders on all throughout the playoffs and all through this series. Although the Canadiens were able to get some scoring production, they still lack that All-star forward that many teams have and because they lack that they’ll have to be very strong defensively everywhere they are on the ice. As far as the Flyers go, I believe they will continue with the unders right where they left off in their seeding round robin. The Flyers went Under the total in all of their seeding games and a lot of that is credited to their great goaltending as well just like the Habs. Carter Hart is an outstanding young goaltender that has shown brilliance on many big stages including the national level so I see no signs of nerves coming from him on this big stage. Carter Hart is a backbone for the Flyers along with their large defensive core that will make things very difficult for Montreal to get behind them and find scoring opportunity. I predict the Flyers to need some time to settle into the playoff mindset and I expect the Montreal Canadiens to pick up right where they left off with the Penguins and play low scoring defensive hockey. I don’t see many goals coming in game 1.

CHI. WHITE SOX @ DETROIT | 8/12 | 1:10 PM EDT
The AL Central rivals play a getaway day game with the very early start time and the model forecasts the White Sox winning in 61 percent of simulations. Chicago starter Dylan Cease has been very good the past two times to the mound, while Detroit's Matthew Boyd has been shockingly bad this year with a 9.20 ERA.

It's Game 1 of the teams' Eastern Conference best-of-7 quarterfinal series from a neutral site in Toronto. The model forecasts Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals taking the opener in 60 percent of simulations. The Isles are just 1-11 in their past 12 overall as underdogs, while the Caps are 6-1 in their past seven playoff games as favorites.

#910 4* Cleveland Indians with Carrasco ML -125 (6:10 edt)

Love the Indians here since they have been strong at home this season and Carrasco has been excellent all season long. Hendricks goes for the Cubs and he has been iffy at best and flat out awful on the road. Cleveland is playing very well right now - look for that to continue here. Thank you and good luck.

Going back to the well with the Mariners on Wednesday after they failed to come through in a 4-2 loss Tuesday. Seattle should have success against Jordan Lyles, whose last two starts have been abysmal. In those 9.1 innings, he allowed seven earned runs on nine hits and seven walks. Take the road dog.

Zach Eflin was rock-solid in his first start of the year, and I think he helps end Baltimore's three-game win streak tonight. Bryce Harper and the Phils should knock around Wade LeBlanc, who comes in with a 6.91 ERA. Look for Philadelphia to improve to 6-1 in its last seven games vs. left-handed starters. Lay the big number.

MIAMI @ OKLAHOMA CITY | 8/12 | 8:00 PM EDT
The Heat already have locked up either the No. 4 or No. 5 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs, so Wednesday's game means very little, if anything, to the team. I expect Miami to rest at least some of its key players and have little motivation against a Thunder squad still battling for playoff position. My model says Oklahoma City covers more than 50 percent of the time, so you're getting value with the Thunder at this number.

The Flyers enter as the East's top seed after posting a 3-0 in round-robin games, while the Canadiens upset the Penguins behind the excellent play of Carey Price in net. The Flyers' Carter Hart wasn't too shabby, either, winning both of his round-robin starts and allowing just two goals. Both teams have struggled since the restart on the power play, as the Canadiens are 0-for-12 while the Flyers are 0-for-11. These are two very good defensive teams and very physical, so this should be a low-scoring game. The Under has cashed in six straight for Flyers.

TORONTO @ PHILADELPHIA | 8/12 | 6:30 PM EDT

The 76ers are battling a ton of injuries. Toronto has only lost once since the restart, and even if the Raptors sit starters, their bench is more than capable. Philly is 3-9 ATS in its last 12 as a dog. Lay the points.

The A's are trying to avoid a sweep and they're the better overall team. Chris Bassitt is in much better form than Canning Griffin. Look for Oakland to improve to 11-4 in its last 15 matchups with the Halos.

The Twins have lost five of six but this looks like a favorable matchup. Kenta Maeda is 2-0 with a 2.65 ERA while Eric Lauer was shelled in his only start. The Brewers are 1-7 in their last eight games following a win. Play on Minnesota.

OAKLAND @ L.A. ANGELS | 8/12 | 4:10 PM EDT
This price looks off by about 20 cents as the Angels go for the sweep after ending the A’s nine-game win streak. Oakland beat the Angels 3-0 in Chris Bassitt's first start of 2020. The A’s have won all three of his starts this season with him allowing just two runs total. All three of his starts have stayed Under as well. A’s bounce back today.

The Orioles were able to get the Phillies on Tuesday night but I wouldn't go expecting history to repeat itself. The Baltimore offense is legit and shouldn't be dismissed, but tonight's O's starter Wade LeBlanc is a batting practice pitcher who somehow found a spot in an MLB rotation. The Phillies are going to launch some bombs tonight.

CHI. CUBS @ CLEVELAND | 8/12 | 6:10 PM EDT

There's plenty of value to be had here. The Indians offense has been nonexistent in 2020. They rank last in baseball in slugging and OPS, and are doing slightly better in wOBA, ranking 29th. Their pitching is wonderful, but Carlos Carrasco is prone to the dinger and he's facing a Cubs lineup that has been in the top 10 in HR rate this season despite a lot of key players slumping. The Cubs are the smart play. Well, as long as they keep Craig Kimbrel away from a late lead, anyway. Fingers crossed!

TAMPA BAY @ BOSTON | 8/12 | 7:30 PM EDT

There are a combination of factors at play with this pick. One is the pitching matchup that will see Zack Godley going against Blake Snell. Godley, to be blunt, has been awful since the start of 2019. He doesn't strike anybody out, and he walks nearly everyone else. Not a great combination. As for Snell, he gets the strikeouts, but also loses his command too often. So there will be runners on base in this game, and combined with weather conditions that typically see the ball carry at Fenway, we're going to see a lot of people touching home plate tonight.

Taijuan Walker is making just his third start back from TJ surgery, and he showed it in his last outing. Jordan Lyles will be starting for the Rangers and he is 1-1 with a 5.56 ERA this season. Both these pitchers have struggled so far this season, and both these teams are capable of hitting the over by themselves. Take the Over.

The Twins bats came alive last night early in the game but they cooled off while the Brewers took the lead. They’ll have their best pitcher to start the season in Kenta Maeda starting, he is 2-0 with a 2.65 ERA this season. Eric Lauer gave up six runs in the first inning of his season debut in his first outing. Take the value in the Twins.

Dylan Cease has four wins in his short career, and three of those wins have been against the Tigers. He has only given up two earned runs in his last two starts. Matt Boyd has struggled to start the season and the White Sox have the sixth highest OPS against lefties in the league. Take the value in the White Sox.

The Caps are hoping to get John Carlson back for Game 1 today against the Islanders, and he will be much needed for breakouts from their defensive zone. The Caps have the significant advantage in offensive power and they know the Barry Trotz system of the Isles. Braden Holtby has looked much better in net, I am on the Caps.

The Clippers have been off the last two days and won’t play again until Friday, so I’m not overly concerned with them resting players or giving their stars limited minutes. They still are missing Patrick Beverley (calf) and Montrezl Harrell (personal), but the Nuggets also will be short-handed with Will Barton (knee) and Gary Harris (hip) out. Neither team really has stood out in the bubble, but with the expectation that Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are a full-go for this contest, I like the Clippers to cover.
