Penguins at Bruins: What bettors need to know

Pittsburgh Penguins at Boston Bruins (-111, 5.5)

Bruins lead best-of-seven series 2-0.

After scoring 13 goals in their last two games of the second round, the high-octane Pittsburgh Penguins have mustered a total of one in the first two contests of the Eastern Conference final. The top-seeded Penguins will need to flip the switch Wednesday at TD Garden or risk being pushed to the brink of elimination by the fourth-seeded Boston Bruins. Boston painted quite the picture in the Steel City, outscoring its foe by a 9-1 margin to claim a 2-0 advantage in the series.

"Right now, we're not liking the picture, down 0-2. They're in control," Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma said. "I don't think we're frustrated by the fact that we haven't scored as much as they're getting leads, especially in Game 2." Brad Marchand needed all of 28 seconds to give Boston the advantage in Monday's 6-1 triumph. Marchand tallied again to a cap the Bruins' four-goal first period and never looked back.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, NBC Sports, CBC, RDS

ABOUT THE PENGUINS: Pittsburgh's offense wasn't the only thing missing in Game 2 - as its goaltending followed suit. Tomas Vokoun, who had won six of his previous eight games since replacing Stanley Cup-winning goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury, yielded three quick goals to earn a seat on the bench. Given an opportunity for the first time since May 7, Fleury fell flat on his face as well - allowing a goal on the first shot he saw. Bylsma didn't divulge the identity of which man will be behind the mask in goal for Game 3.

ABOUT THE BRUINS: David Krejci would be well within his rights to pat himself on the back. After all, he is the league's postseason points leader and has three goals in two games in this series. Krejci, however, knows it's too early to start celebrating. "We know we played some good hockey in the regular season, but it wasn't even close to the way we're playing right now," Krejci said. "But we've still got a long way ahead of us, so we've got to keep it going."

TRENDS:

*Bruins are 7-1 in their last 8 overall.
*Over is 4-1 in Penguins last 5 road games.
*Under is 5-2 in Bruins last 7 vs. a team with a winning % above .600.
*Penguins are 6-0 in the last 6 meetings in Boston.

OVERTIME:

1. Captain Sidney Crosby and reigning Hart Trophy winner Evgeni Malkin have yet to record a point and are both a minus-3 in this series for the Penguins.

2. Boston G Tuukka Rask has stopped 55 of 56 shots versus Pittsburgh.

3. The Penguins have overcome 0-2 deficits to win a series on five occasions since 1991.

Three NHL teams books don't want to win the Stanley Cup
By JASON LOGAN

Some sportsbooks are sweating out the NHL conference finals while others are sitting pretty, with the Bruins and Blackhawks leading their respective conference championships 2-0. Their mood all depends on the Stanley Cup futures book and which teams they’re cheering for – and against – this postseason.

We asked some sportsbooks, online and in Las Vegas, which NHL teams pose the biggest threat to the futures book if they hoist Lord Stanley at the end of the season.

Pittsburgh Penguins (+750 to +250 to +625)

The Penguins entered the short season as the favorite to win the Stanley Cup at most books, and moved as high as +750 during the season due to losing skids and injuries to key players, including Sidney Crosby. Pittsburgh was priced at +250 after losing to Boston in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference final and has dropped to +625 since going down 0-2 after Monday’s loss.

“Although Pittsburgh was top of the market or near to at start of season, given injuries and how the likes of Chicago and Anaheim went through the season, Pittsburgh had gone out to biggest price of +750. However, not much action taken at that price,” Aron Black of Bet365.com told Covers. “Once they started their own run and Crosby showed he had gone back to his best, their price dropped steadily and most of the action taken on them was around +300. They are our worst runner, but not a real tragedy if they win it all.”

Chicago Blackhawks (+1,000 to EVEN)

The Blackhawks opened the lockout-shortened schedule at 10-1 at the LVH Superbook in Las Vegas and quickly dropped as Chicago emerged as the class of the 2013 season. The Blackhawks went 24 games without a regulation loss, moving from 10-1 to 5-1 in that span. They entered the playoffs at +350 and are now the favorites at Even money with a 2-0 lead over the Kings.

“We’re in good shape on all but Chicago,” Jeff Sherman, assistant manager at the LVH Superbook, told Covers. “There’s a small liability on them. They were never higher than 10-1 throughout season, but most of the wagers have come in during postseason at 5-2 odds on them.”

Boston Bruins (+1,600 to +170)

The Bruins price tag soared when they limped into the postseason with just two wins in their final nine games, jumping to 10-1 and above at most markets. Boston, however, sprung to life after a thrilling Game 7 comeback against Toronto and has lost one game since, going 6-1 heading into Wednesday’s Game 3.

“Boston has been a steady team throughout the season and were in the upper end of the market, with a high of +1600,” says Black. “Montreal falling off a bit led to their odds coming down in the last six weeks of season, with the bulk of the action laid at +1,100 to +800.”

How much will possible PED suspensions impact MLB odds?

Late Tuesday, Twitter exploded with the rumors of ESPN's Outside the Lines learning of roughly 20 MLB players potentially facing suspension. These players, which include some big names, were involved with a Miami-area biogenesis clinic.



Tony Bosch, who is the founder of the clinic Biogenesis of American, apparently had reached an agreement to cooperate with the investigation of Major League Baseball.

Some of the players who could be named, such as Alex Rodriguez and Ryan Braun, could face a 100-game suspension due to their second doping offense.

With punishment possibly coming this week, we talked to Steve Mikkelson, sportsbook manager at the Atlantis in Reno, to see how much these suspensions will impact the daily MLB moneylines:

Ryan Braun, Milwaukee Brewers

Braun is lacking in the home run department this year with just nine, but leads the Brew Crew with 35 RBIs.

"This is a guy who is a potential MVP candidate," says Mikkelson. "The Brewers really don't have any pitching and to pull that bat out of the lineup would be devastating. If they lose Braun, they drop below teams like the San Diego Padres and the New York Mets. Without question, you're probably knocking 10 cents off the line."

Robinson Cano, New York Yankees

Cano has been compiling more great numbers and is the heart of the Yankees lineup. Many experts and pundits wrote the Yankees off before the season had started but, heading into action Tuesday, the Yankees were a surprising 2.5 games behind the Boston Red Sox atop the American League East.

"This would be another devastating blow. Not as devastating as Braun, but pretty darn close," Mikkelson says, "The Yankees have done a wonderful job in staying in it this year. Cano is everything to this lineup and he is leading in practically every offensive category and at second base. They can't stay in contention if Cano is lost."

Nelson Cruz, Texas Rangers

The Rangers slugger is having another great season leading the ball club with 13 homers and 39 RBIs.

"This is a team that lost Mike Napoli, Josh Hamilton and Michael Young. They're not exactly the scoring team that we're used to and Cruz fits right in the middle of that lineup. He is probably worth three or four cents to the moneyline. If they are going to win without him, which they still can, they are going to need to get guys like Alexi Ogando back and pitching well again."

Melky Cabrera, Toronto Blue Jays

Cabrera was suspended last year as a member of the San Francisco Giants. He leads the Jays with a .281 batting average in his first season with the club.

"I don't view Cabrera as that big a piece for Toronto. The loss of a guy like Jose Reyes was certainly bigger and they have a guy like Rajai Davis who can fill in," says Mikkelson.

Alex Rodriguez, New York Yankees

Rodriguez has yet to play this season and is another player who could see a second suspension.

"A potential suspension to A-Rod will have no effect on the Yankees. All it says is 'now we know for sure that he's not coming back'."

Jhonny Peralta, Detroit Tigers

Peralta is having a great season for Detroit, batting .332 and has 97 total bases on the season.

"He's having a really good year and his loss would hurt them. Losing Peralta certainly makes them vulnerable, but I believe they still win the division. He's hitting well, but he's poor defensively. His value is a couple of cents to the moneyline at best."

Wednesday, June 5

Bruins' road wins in Games 1-2 ended six-game losing streak vs Pittsburgh; they've won seven of last eight games since coming back from dead in Game 7 vs Toronto. Penguins are 0-6 on power play in series; would expect big easrly effort from team that is 3-2 away from home in playoffs, with two of three wins in OT. Over is 8-5 in Pitt's playoff games, 7-5-2 in Boston's. Penguins scored 4+ goals in all their playoff wins, 3-4-1-0-1 in losses. Boston is 5-2 at home in playoffs, winning last four. Penguins have actually won last six visits to Beantown, winning 3-2 in only visit here this season on April 20, but scoring one goal in first two games in this series has been big surprise.

Game: Baltimore at Houston (8:10 PM Eastern)
Pick: Houston +1.5 runs -115 (runline)

The truth is, Houston is not going to win a lot of games this season. But, even the worst of the worst teams, and the best of the best teams have peaks and valleys over 162 games. Houston is in the midst of one of those peaks right now, having won six of their last seven games. The pitching has been getting it done, allowing just 24 runs over their last nine games at 2.7 per contest. That vaults them into a valued position here at home on the runline. Baltimore ranks No. 28 in the league in pitching, and their pen has already blown eight saves. Houston is 5-0 in Kuechel's last five starts on regular four days rest. Go with Houston on the runline.

Doc's Sports

4-unit Play Take #970 Boston Red Sox (-120) over Texas Rangers (7:10pm ET) When the Boston Red Sox were getting a lot of publicity due to their turnaround earlier on the in the season, the names Jon Lester and Clay Buchholz were being tossed around for the primary reason. However, veteran pitcher John Lackey has been pitching fantastic as well but has sort of been lost in the shuffle. Coming into today's start, the 34-year old has a 2.96 ERA and 1.18 WHIP to go along with his 8.9 strikeout rate per nine innings. Those numbers are even better than the version of Lackey before his big injuries. It's only been eight starts, but I think it's safe to say that Lackey is back. He'll go up against a tough Texas lineup today, but one that's not as potent as it's been in the past. The Rangers are just 7th in the AL in runs scored, which isn't very impressive given that they play in a hitter-friendly environment. They're also without Ian Kinsler right now and Adrian Beltre is also banged up. Texas will counter with Alexei Ogando, who is coming back from a bicep injury. The Rangers aren't 100% sure that Ogando should stay in the rotation due to his inconsistency, as he might be a better fit in the bullpen where he excelled last season. I would have to agree, as Ogando has trouble with the batting order the second and third time around. The Red Sox have been swinging the bats very well lately, which will make things even harder on Ogando today. Boston leads the AL in runs scored and 41 runs in their last five games, including a 17-run barrage last night. The price on this one is just a little bit too low. Take Boston at home here.

Best of Luck - Doc's Sports

MLB
Texas (Ogando) at Boston (Lackey) (-125) 7:10 ET
5* Texas (Ogando) (+115)

In this matchup, the Rangers were embarrassed last night losing in Boston 17-5. Nonetheless, Texas still holds a dominant 11-4 series edge and is 10-4 in the series at that site. The Boston outburst lifted their recent record to 14-6 and improved their league leading offense to a .272 BA and 5.2 RPG. But the Rangers have been the most resilient team in MLB in recent years. Texas is now 95-56/loss L3Y including 15-6 this season outscoring the opposition 103-58. Look for the Rangers to get a huge piece of Lackey. Though the big right hander has pitched a bit better this season, Texas has lit him up his entire career. In 37 starts against Texas, Lackey has a 6.14 ERA including 0-2 with an 8.10 ERA his last 2 starts. Ogando went on the DL May 15th with bicep tendonitis. Prior to that, he was in good form with a 2-0 record and 2.55 ERA in his previous 3 starts. That stretch included allowing 1 run in 6 IP of a 5-1 victory vs. Boston.
Rangers bounce back as underdog!

15* MLB Thursday No-Doubt Rout on Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 (+109)

The Los Angeles Dodgers will beat the San Diego Padres by 2-plus runs tonight. As a result, I'll back them on the Run Line and look to earn more bang for our buck.

The Dodgers have a massive edge on the mound in this one with Clayton Kershaw over Jason Marquis. The former Cy Young winner has gone 5-3 with a 1.85 ERA and 0.916 WHIP through 12 starts this season.

Marquis is 6-2 with a 3.82 ERA and 1.492 WHIP through 11 starts this season for the Padres. Kershaw is 8-4 with a 2.41 ERA and 1.205 WHIP in 18 career starts against San Diego.

Kershaw is 17-2 (+13.2 Units) against the money line when playing against a bad team (Win Pct. 38% to 46%) over the last 3 seasons. The Dodgers are winning in this spot by 2.6 runs/game. Take the Dodgers on the Run Line Thursday.

Minnesota Twins vs. Kansas City Royals (MLB) - 8:10 PM EDT
Premium Pick
Pick: Money Line: Kansas City Royals -140
Play Title: 9* Personal Favorite

I'm playing on KANSAS CITY. With yesterday's loss, the Royals have now dropped 11 straight at home. Enough is enough. I expect them to finally stop the bleeding today. Walters may be 2-0. However, he's got a mediocre 4.50 ERA and a poor 1.667 WHIP. In 12 innings pitched, he's already given up 18 hits. By comparison, Guthrie has only allowed 21 hits in 29 2/3 home innings. He's 3-1 with a 3.03 ERA and 0.91 WHIP here. Last time out, he limited the Cards to two runs through six innings, striking out six and walking one. He didn't factor in the decision but the Royals win 4-2. Guthrie, who already beat the Twins back in April, is 5-2 with a solid 3.57 ERA and 1.056 WHIP in eight starts. vs. Minnesota. Walters got rocked in his lone start vs. the Royals. He lost 10-5, compiling a 13.50 ERA and 2.25 WHIP along the way. Even with yesterday's loss, the Royals have still won four of their last five games, when hosting the Twins. This season, they're still 9-7 vs. divisional opponents. I expect them to bounce back. 9* personal favorite

ARIZONA (+120)[/B] over St. Louis
8:15 p.m. ET
After a loss last night, our free pick record is now 6-2 the last 8 days. While it may be tough to go against the Cardinals, we think this is the spot to do so. St. Louis sports a league-best 38-20 record, but has proven to struggle a bit against left-handers, going just 7-7. Arizona is still being undervalued on the market and has played very well on the road this year and has the better and more rested bullpen in this matchup. Let's go against the inflated favorite and grab the D-Backs plus the money!
