Golden State Warriors vs. Houston Rockets Preview and Predictions 05-28-2018

27th May 2018 by Gracenote
the golden state warriors found the form that made them nba champions in the second half on saturday and used it to run away with a win and force a game 7 in the western conference finals. the warriors will try to carry that momentum on the road and earn their fourth consecutive trip to the nba finals when they visit the houston rockets on monday.

the rockets jumped out to a 39-22 lead after the first quarter in game 6 and held a 61-51 edge at the break only to score 25 points in the second half and suffer a 115-86 setback as golden state exploded behind klay thompson and stephen curry. "we'd like to get off to a better start," warriors coach steve kerr told reporters. "but we like -- we like our formula. we like our defense against these guys, and we feel confident that we can carry this through to game 7 on the road and continue to make things as difficult as possible on houston without fouling." houston is confident heading home despite the beating it took in the second half on saturday and the uncertainty surrounding the health of point guard chris paul. "if you asked us when we were in the bahamas this summer, this team together, you know, western conference finals, game 7 to go to the finals against the warriors, we'll take that," rockets star james harden told reporters. "so, nothing changes for us. we know what we have to do."

tv: 9 p.m. et, tnt
about the warriors: thompson finished with 35 points and went 9-of-14 from 3-point range in game 6 as golden state started to push the pace and move the ball. "i feel like we're the best team in the world and most fun team in the world to watch when we're pushing that ball, getting defensive stops and making plays," thompson told reporters. "we've got too much talent not just to hit singles like coach always says. trust the next man ahead of us. it will end up working in our favor most of the time." thompson added four steals to his performance and his teammates credited his work on harden at the defensive end for sparking the offense.
about the rockets: paul sat out game 6 with a hamstring injury suffered in the final minute of game 5 and remains uncertain for game 7. houston committed 21 turnovers without their point guard on the floor in game 6, including nine by harden, who finished with 32 points and nine assists but continued a trend of poor shooting from beyond the arc with a 4-of-12 effort. "there's no pressure," harden told reporters of game 7. "it's an opportunity, though, an opportunity that we all are excited to be a part of. game 7 at our house. that's what we worked the entire regular season for, is homecourt advantage. we're going to come out and we're going to be ready."
buzzer beaters
1. warriors sf andre iguodala (knee) sat out the last three games and is questionable for game 7.
2. houston sg gerald green is 6-of-9 from 3-point range over the last two games.

3. golden state pf draymond green collected 10 rebounds, nine assists, five blocks and four steals in game 6.

Washington Nationals vs. Baltimore Orioles Preview and Predictions 05-28-2018

27th May 2018 by Gracenote
the washington nationals are rolling behind a pitching staff that is allowing an average of 2.3 runs over the last six games. the baltimore orioles, who host the nationals in the opener of a three-game interleague series pitting beltway rivals on monday, don't need to see a pitching staff operating in high gear while their offense continues to sputter.

washington opened its 10-game road trip by sweeping three from the miami marlins over the weekend, capped by a 5-2 win on sunday, to improve to 17-8 on the road. while the nationals' pitching staff is putting up consistent strong results, the offense got a boost on sunday as star bryce harper broke out of a slump that saw him strikeout in five consecutive official at-bats bridging saturday and sunday by blasting his national league-leading 16th home run in the victory. the orioles have a slugger to rival harper in manny machado but are not getting much production from the rest of the lineup while scoring three or fewer runs in 10 of the last 12 games. baltimore will try to find its collective swing on monday against washington left-hander gio gonzalez while countering with righty alex cobb.
tv: 1:05 p.m. et, masn 2 (washington), masn (baltimore)
pitching matchup: nationals lh gio gonzalez (5-2, 2.38 era) vs orioles rh alex cobb (1-6, 7.32)

gonzalez surrendered two or fewer earned runs in nine of his first 10 starts and is coming off a win over san diego last monday in which he allowed two runs and two hits in seven frames. the seven innings matched a season high for the florida native, who issued 26 walks in 56 2/3 innings while striking out 60 in those first 10 turns. gonzalez lost his lone start against baltimore last season, getting ripped for six runs on seven hits - three homers - in six innings.
cobb is still trying to find his footing with his new team and followed up his first win with another poor outing on wednesday. the 30-year-old was ripped for six runs on eight hits and two walks over 3 2/3 innings to suffer the loss, ending a string of four straight starts allowing three or fewer earned runs. cobb is making his first career appearance against washington and is 9-4 with a 2.50 era in 16 interleague starts.
walk-offs

1. orioles 1b chris davis is batting .156 and struck out at least once in each of his last 12 games.

2. harper totaled 11 strikeouts in his last four games.

3. the teams split four meetings last season and will play six times in 2018.

prediction: nationals 5, orioles 1

Toronto Blue Jays vs. Boston Red Sox Preview and Predictions 05-28-2018

27th May 2018 by Gracenote
the toronto blue jays battled the major league-best boston red sox as hard as any team earlier this season but were not able to come away with a series victory in two tries. the blue jays attempt to get an early edge when they visit the red sox on monday in the opener of a three-game set at fenway park.

toronto hosted boston once in april and again in may, and all six games were decided by three or fewer runs but the blue jays managed to win only two of those contests - both in extra innings. toronto had more luck winning tight games over the weekend, taking two of three at philadelphia while winning the rubber match 5-3 on sunday behind a strong pitching performance from j.a. happ and two-run doubles from devon travis and dwight smith jr. the red sox earned their third straight series win over the weekend but missed out on a three-game sweep when they dropped a 7-1 decision to the atlanta braves in a rare struggle for the offense. boston will try to start another winning streak behind left-hander david price on monday while the blue jays counter with righty aaron sanchez.
tv: 1:05 p.m. et, sportsnet (toronto), nesn (boston)
pitching matchup: blue jays rh aaron sanchez (2-4, 4.07 era) vs. red sox lh david price (4-4, 4.08)

sanchez is winless in his last four outings and was stuck with a no-decision wednesday despite yielding two hits in five scoreless frames. the 25-year-old issued five walks in those five frames and is struggling to work deep into games with 34 walks in 55 1/3 total innings. sanchez faced boston twice already this season and did not factor in the decision in either turn while surrendering a total of four earned runs on eight hits and five walks in 11 innings.
price is coming off his third consecutive strong outing and held tampa bay to one run on three hits and three walks while striking out nine in six innings on wednesday. the nine strikeouts marked a season high for the vanderbilt product, who owns 55 punchouts in 57 1/3 total frames. price earned a win at toronto on may 12, when he allowed two runs and five hits while striking out six in 5 1/3 total innings.
walk-offs

1. red sox rf mookie betts (left side tightness) sat out sunday and is day-to-day.

2. toronto rhp seunghwan oh allowed a total of one hit while striking out six in five total innings over his last four appearances.

3. boston 2b dustin pedroia (knee surgery) is 0-for-7 in two games since returning from the disabled list.

prediction: red sox 6, blue jays 2

Houston Astros vs. New York Yankees Preview and Predictions 05-28-2018

27th May 2018 by Gracenote
justin verlander will be tasked with two assignments monday - cooling off the new york yankees and lifting his teammates back up following a morale-sapping loss. verlander looks to continue his sensational stretch of pitching in may when he takes the mound for the houston astros on monday in the opener of a three-game set at yankee stadium.

verlander has allowed one earned run or less in all five starts this month, a stretch that began when he struck out 14 in eight scoreless innings against new york on may 1. the astros have dropped two in a row following an 8-1 stretch, including a 10-9 loss in 14 innings at cleveland on sunday in which they blew a five-run ninth-inning lead. the yankees took two of three against the los angeles angels over the weekend to improve to 24-7 in their last 31 games and close within one game of first-place boston in the american league east. second baseman gleyber torres is expected back in the lineup for new york, which won three of four at houston four weeks ago in a rematch of last year's al championship series.
tv: 1:05 p.m. et, espn, at&t sportsnet-southwest (houston), yes (new york)
pitching matchup: astros rh justin verlander (6-2, 1.08 era) vs. yankees rh domingo german (0-2, 5.59)

verlander is only 2-2 in his five starts this month despite allowing a total of four runs (three earned) in that span, but he won his second straight by limiting san francisco to one run on three hits in six innings on wednesday. it was the ninth consecutive quality start for the 35-year-old, who has yielded only four homers. giancarlo stanton is 1-for-8 against verlander, who is 1-4 with a 4.38 era at the new yankee stadium.
german has struggled since a brilliant performance in his first career start on may 6, when he did not allow a hit and struck out nine against cleveland. the 25-year-old dominican has given up six runs in each of his last two outings and took the loss after lasting only 3 2/3 innings at texas on tuesday. german turned in a strong effort in relief at houston on may 1, working four scoreless innings and fanning four.
walk-offs

1. astros 2b jose altuve broke his own club record with 10 straight hits before he was retired in his last two at-bats on sunday.

2. the yankees own the best home record in the majors (20-8) and are 16-6 overall versus teams with winning records.

3. astros c evan gattis was 5-for-13 with two homers, six rbis and four runs scored at cleveland.

New York Mets vs. Atlanta Braves Preview and Predictions 05-28-2018

27th May 2018 by Gracenote
the new york mets saw their bullpen give up 17 runs on 21 hits over 10 2/3 innings while losing three in a row at milwaukee, not exactly the best way to enter monday's day-night doubleheader at the atlanta braves. the rough weekend dropped the mets to just one game above .500 and four behind the national league east-leading braves coming into a four-game series, and new york is struggling to keep players on the field.

reliever a.j. ramos returned to new york for a mri on his right shoulder sunday while infielder wilmer flores experienced back soreness in sunday's 8-7 loss and also is heading home for further examination, meaning newly-signed jose bautista - who is 4-for-9 in five games with the mets after the braves released him last week - will likely move from left field to third base. atlanta also has injury concerns as 20-year-old phenom ronald acuna left sunday's 7-1 victory at boston after hitting first base awkwardly in beating out an infield single in the seventh inning. he was able to walk off the field under his own power after staying down for several minutes with what the braves termed, "knee and lower back pain," and reportedly was undergoing testing at a boston hospital after the game. acuna's injury marred an otherwise outstanding day for atlanta as it salvaged a 2-4 road trip by pounding red sox ace chris sale for six runs across 4 1/3 innings, getting four hits and four rbis from the duo of tyler flowers and kurt suzuki.
tv: 1:10 p.m. et, sny (new york), fs southeast (atlanta)
pitching matchup: mets rh jacob degrom (4-0, 1.54 era) vs. braves lh max fried (0-2, 6.00)
it has been a stellar two months for degrom, who leads the nl in era and homers per nine innings (0.3) while ranking second in strikeouts per nine innings (11.9). the 29-year-old has surrendered only one run in his past 33 1/3 innings with 47 strikeouts, matching his career high with 13 punchouts in seven innings against arizona on may 18. degrom has not allowed a run in two starts (both no decisions) against the braves this season, striking out 16 and giving up six hits in 11 innings.
atlanta will call up the 24-year-old fried for his first start of the season and his fifth major-league starting assignment. he has appeared in four games in the majors this season, all in relief, giving up four runs on five hits over six innings with seven strikeouts. fried, who posted a 3.44 era while going 1-1 in four starts in 2017, is atlanta's no. 7 prospect according to mlb pipeline and is 1-2 with a 3.12 era in five minor-league starts this season.
walk-offs

1. atlanta 1b freddie freeman extended his hitting streak to eight games sunday and is batting .325 on the season with a .965 ops.

2. new york 2b asdrubal cabrera and c devin mesoraco each went deep sunday, giving the mets 22 homers in their past 17 games.

3. monday's doubleheader is the result of an april 22 rainout, but rains from subtropical storm alberto could impact the series.

Los Angeles Angels vs. Detroit Tigers Preview and Predictions 05-28-2018

27th May 2018 by Gracenote
having lost their first series away from home, the los angeles angels will look to avoid making it two straight when they wrap up their 10-game road trip with the first of four against the detroit tigers on monday afternoon. the angels fell to 3-3 on their season-long 10-game trek after losing 3-1 in sunday's rubber match versus the new york yankees.

los angeles managed one run in each of its two losses at yankee stadium sandwiched around an 11-run outburst in saturday's win to fall to 6-1-1 in road series. two-way sensation shohei ohtani, who was pushed back from his scheduled start on sunday and may get the nod wednesday against detroit, was 0-for-9 against the yankees -- the first time he's gone hitless in three straight games in his brief major-league career. the tigers (23-29) took two of three from the major league-worst chicago white sox over the weekend to move into second place in the american league central despite sitting six games under .500. slugger miguel cabrera, who last played may 3 due to a hamstring injury, is expected to return in the series but is unlikely to play monday.
tv: 1:10 p.m. et, fs west (los angeles), fs detroit
pitching matchup: angels lh tyler skaggs (3-3, 3.11 era) vs. tigers lh matthew boyd (2-4, 3.29)

skaggs is mired in a five-start winless drought despite allowing a total of 10 runs while striking out 35 batters and walking only eight during that span. he did not factor in the decision wednesday at toronto, giving up three runs over five innings - only the second time he's allowed more than two runs. skaggs has made two career starts against the tigers, going 1-0 with a 0.77 era.
boyd lasted only four innings tuesday at minnesota, forced to exit with oblique spasms after permitting two runs on one hit and four walks. the 27-year-old registered back-to-back quality starts in his previous two turns against seattle and has surrendered two runs or fewer in six of his nine outings. boyd, who will face the angels for the first time, is 2-1 with a 2.22 era in four starts at home.
walk-offs

1. angels cf mike trout had homered in three straight games, a streak that was halted in sunday's setback.

2. tigers 3b jeimer candelario has reached base in 21 straight games, the longest active streak in the majors.

3. angels of justin upton (forearm) sat out sunday's game after getting hit by a pitch saturday.

St. Louis Cardinals vs. Milwaukee Brewers Preview and Predictions 05-28-2018

27th May 2018 by Gracenote
the milwaukee brewers have won five straight series and will try to start their next one on a good note when they begin a three-game set with the visiting st. louis cardinals on monday. after losing the first of four straight against the new york mets, the brewers picked up three consecutive wins over the weekend.

two of the victories were one-run triumphs, including sunday's 8-7 result in which milwaukee scored four times in the seventh to claim the lead. jesus aguilar homered and drove in four runs in the victory, leaving him 13-for-35 with six long balls and 16 rbis over a nine-game span. he will get his first look at cardinals right-hander luke weaver, who opposes left-hander brent suter in the series opener. st. louis is coming off a series win of its own after taking the rubber game in pittsburgh by a 6-4 margin.
tv: 2:10 p.m. et, fs midwest (st. louis), fs wisconsin (milwaukee)

pitching matchup: cardinals rh luke weaver (3-4, 4.31 era) vs. brewers lh brent suter (4-3, 4.56)

weaver has rebounded from a rocky stretch to post a 1.89 era over his last three starts, although he is 1-2 in that span. he fanned a season-high eight in seven strong innings of a hard-luck loss to kansas city on tuesday. domingo santana is 4-for-8 with a home run against the 24-year-old weaver, who is 2-1 with a 4.40 era in his career versus milwaukee.
suter won his last two starts while allowing a total of three runs in 11 1/3 innings and striking out six batters both times. the 28-year-old yielded one run and four hits in 5 1/3 frames in a no-decision at st. louis on april 10 and is 0-2 with a 3.80 era in seven career meetings (three starts). jose martinez has a home run, a single and a walk in six plate appearances versus suter.
walk-offs

1. brewers rf christian yelich went 9-for-18 in the series against the mets.

2. cardinals 1b matt carpenter has six multi-hit efforts in an 11-game stretch to raise his average from .140 to .214.

3. the road team took two of three in each of the first two series between the teams.

Tampa Bay Rays vs. Oakland Athletics Preview and Predictions 05-28-2018

27th May 2018 by Gracenote
the oakland athletics hope to receive a third consecutive strong pitching performance when they host the tampa bay rays on monday afternoon for the opener of their four-game series. oakland allowed a total of one run in back-to-back victories over arizona, getting a complete-game shutout from daniel mengden on saturday before frankie montas worked six solid innings in his season debut.

three relievers followed montas by registering four strikeouts over three perfect innings as the athletics evened their record to 3-3 on a 10-game homestand. tampa bay is coming off its third win in four games, an 8-3 triumph over baltimore that concluded a 3-3 stretch at home. the rays yielded three runs in the top of the first inning but rallied for six in the third to secure the series win. brad miller, who went 2-for-5 with a homer and three rbis on sunday, scored in the opening frame to give the rays 16 first-inning runs in their last 16 contests.
tv: 4:05 p.m. et, fs sun (tampa bay), nbcs california (oakland)
pitching matchup: rays rh chris archer (3-3, 4.68 era) vs. athletics rh trevor cahill (1-2, 2.75)

archer has pitched well this month, allowing fewer than three runs in four of his five starts, but has just one win to show for his efforts. the 29-year-old native of north carolina settled for a no-decision against boston on wednesday despite giving up just one run and four hits over six innings. archer has made two career starts versus oakland, going 1-0 while yielding five runs on 13 hits and seven walks with 16 strikeouts in 11 1/3 frames.
cahill also did not factor in the decision his last time out, when he allowed two runs and four hits in seven innings against seattle on tuesday. the 30-year-old californian is winless since his season debut against the chicago white sox on april 17 despite surrendering three earned runs or fewer in each of his next five outings. cahill owns a 2-1 record and 4.50 era in four starts and one relief appearance versus tampa bay.

walk-offs

1. athletics ss marcus semien went 2-for-4 on sunday, giving him four two-hit performances in his last eight games.
2. tampa bay recalled rhp jaime schultz from triple-a durham and optioned lhp anthony banda to the bulls.

3. oakland optioned rhp chris bassitt to triple-a nashville to make room on the roster for montas.

the new york mets saw their bullpen give up 17 runs on 21 hits over 10 2/3 innings while losing three in a row at milwaukee, not exactly the best way to enter monday's day-night doubleheader at the atlanta braves. the rough weekend dropped the mets to just one game above .500 and four behind the national league east-leading braves coming into a four-game series, and new york is struggling to keep players on the field.

pitching matchup: mets tba vs. braves rh brandon mccarthy (5-2, 4.67 era)
the mets might opt for a bullpen game in the nightcap and reportedly are not announcing their starter until monday. one potential candidate to begin the game is right-hander seth lugo (1-0, 1.72 era), who has pitched a career-high 17 scoreless innings with 19 strikeouts in may and made three multi-inning appearances since may 15. right-hander robert gsellman (4-1, 3.31) has made 29 career starts but gave up two runs in relief sunday, while newly-promoted left-hander p.j. conlon gave up three runs over 3 2/3 innings in starting his only appearance in the majors may 7 at cincinnati.
mccarthy has rebounded nicely from two awful starts to begin may, allowing just one run in each of his past two outings while striking out 13 over 11 2/3 innings. the 34-year-old, who opened the month by surrendering 14 runs in 8 1/3 innings for his first two losses of the season, earned the victory tuesday at philadelphia with 5 2/3 innings of one-run, four-hit pitching. mccarthy, who has yet to face the mets this season, sports a 5.40 era and a 1.80 whip at home compared to 4.22 and 1.44 on the road.
walk-offs

1. atlanta 1b freddie freeman extended his hitting streak to eight games sunday and is batting .325 on the season with a .965 ops.

2. new york 2b asdrubal cabrera and c devin mesoraco went deep sunday, giving the mets 22 homers in their past 17 games.

3. monday's doubleheader is the result of an april 22 rainout, but rains from subtropical storm alberto could impact the series.

Minnesota Twins vs. Kansas City Royals Preview and Predictions 05-28-2018

27th May 2018 by Gracenote
the minnesota twins hope that a change of scenery will get their bats going when they carry a four-game losing streak into kansas city on monday for the first of three against the royals. the twins have scored six total runs during the slide, including sunday's 3-1 loss at seattle, which limited minnesota to four hits.

slumping second baseman brian dozier had shown signs of life with a modest five-game hitting streak, but he was 0-for-4 in the defeat as the twins were 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position. the royals have won four of their last six after a 5-3 victory in texas on sunday, which gave them a split of a four-game series. salvador perez slugged one of two homers for kansas city, giving him eight over his last 23 games. he and his teammates will take aim at twins right-hander lance lynn, who is coming off his best start of the season, while jakob junis goes for the royals.

pitching matchup: twins rh lance lynn (2-4, 6.34 era) vs. royals rh jakob junis (5-3, 3.52)
lynn took a 7.47 era into a matchup with detroit on tuesday and finally found his form with 6 2/3 scoreless innings. he limited the tigers to five hits and a walk while striking out four in his longest outing of the season. the 31-year-old is 0-1 with a 5.55 era in four career starts against the royals and will be particularly careful against alex gordon, who is 7-for-12 versus lynn.

junis worked at least six innings in five of his first seven starts, but he's failed to get that far in each of his last three outings. he gave up two runs and five hits with seven strikeouts in five frames in a no-decision at st. louis on wednesday. the 25-year-old, who has surrendered nine home runs in 29 2/3 innings at home this year, has a 3.27 era in two prior matchups with the twins.
walk-offs

1. minnesota is 7-3 against american league central opponents, while kansas city is 10-13.

2. royals 2b whit merrifield has six hits, four rbis and three walks during a four-game hitting streak.

Since we are still dealing with injuries to key players - Igoudala for the Dubs, and the BIG ONE, Paul for the Rockets - I think you need to continue to ride the Under in this 7th game from the Toyota Center on Monday night.

On Saturday, Golden State exploded for 115 points, including a monster 64-points in the second half, but since Houston could only muster a grand total of 25-points we saw our 4th straight series Under, and the 6th Under over the last 7 series meetings dating back to the regular campaign.

The Warriors have now held Under the total in 10 of their last 13 postseason affairs, while the Rockets are 8-3 Under their last 11 this postseason, and 10 of their 16 playoff games overall have landed Under the total.

I have to believe that even if Chris Paul gives it the old "Willis Reed" try, he is not going to be anywhere close to his normal explosive self. Hamstring injuries tend to linger my friends.

Yes, the have lowered the total once again, but I still see this one hold Under the total.

Warriors-Rockets Under.

Eric Schroeder

The Washington Capitals are finally in the Stanley Cup Final.

Alex Ovechkin lost in the first or second round in their past nine playoff appearances, but now they have a chance to hoist Lord Stanley's Cup, as they face the darlings of the sports world, the Vegas Golden Knights.

As good as Marc-Andre Fleury has been in net for Vegas, I have watched Washington closely this entire postseason, and can tell you Ovechkin is on a mission this season. He has a career-high 22 points on 12 goals and 10 assists after leading the NHL with 49 goals during the regular season. His linemate, Evgeny Kuznetsov, has helped establish the best one-two punch in the postseason. Kuznetsov has a franchise-record 24 playoff points through 19 games, including the overtime series winner against Pittsburgh.

Challenging Fleury as the best netminder in the playoffs is Braden Holtby, who sat the first two games of the playoffs, but is 12-6 with a 2.04 goals-against average and .924 save percentage since replacing Philipp Grubauer. Holtby was impressive against the Tampa Bay Lightning and hasn't allowed a goal since Game 5 of an Eastern Conference Final that went seven games.

I know the expansion Golden Knights have lost only three games through three rounds, but this is where they begin to unravel. It's not that I don't trust Fleury, it's the consistency of all four lines, something coach Gerard Gallant has counted on the entire season. If they're not getting production from all four lines, this team will be in trouble, and Fleury's 1.68 GAA and .947 save percentage will mean nothing.

This series is going 6 or 7 games, but it'll be Washington ending Vegas' dream run.

4* CAPITALS SERIES

Jack Brayman

I'm giving you my free play is on the Washington Capitals over the Vegas Golden Knights in the Stanley Cup Final, as I think Alex Ovechkin will finally get a chance to hoist Lord Stanley's Cup, not to mention finally solve goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury.

While goaltending and quickness are the strength of the Golden Knights, there is plenty of playoff experience on Washington's side. And Ovechkin, of all people, has been waiting a long time for this.

Ovie looks like a man on a mission right now - just watch the first 1:02 of Game 7 in the Eastern Conference Final against the Tampa Bay Lightning, as he wasted no time in getting the scoring underway.

And we can talk all we want about Fleury, but when you combine the explosiveness of Ovechkin and his linemates, with the play of Capitals goalie Braden Holtby - who hasn't allowed a goal since Game 5 of the conference final - and you get a team on the brink of a championship.

The Golden Knights are a fairy tale for the NHL, and all of sports, but Vegas is also facing a team of destiny in the Capitals, who have put their past playoff disappointments behind them to get this far. It's the second time in their history and first time since 1998 the Caps are in the Stanley Cup Final.

The x-factor for this series is special teams. The Capitals have proven to be much better on the power play, than Vegas. They've proven they can capitalize with the man advantage, while the Golden Knights are relying on too Fleury too much.

Ovechkin has shown he is a true leader and is very much still a dominant offensive force, and Holtby has re-established himself as a stellar netminder at the right time.

I also think Washington has gotten here after tougher competition, and will be battled tested, more so than Vegas.

Take the Caps, and look for them to wrap this up in 6.

Chicago Cubs vs. Pittsburgh Pirates Preview and Predictions 05-28-2018

28th May 2018 by Gracenote
the pittsburgh pirates have followed an 8-1 stretch with two wins in nine games and hope to begin turning around the ship when they host the chicago cubs on monday afternoon for the first of three contests between the national league central rivals. the pirates coughed up a three-run lead before suffering a 6-4 loss to visiting st. louis on sunday and are 2-4 during a stretch of 13 straight games against division opponents.

rookie outfielder austin meadows continues to impress after being recalled, going 15-for-33 with three homers and six rbis in his first nine major-league contests for pittsburgh, which could be without closer felipe vazquez (left forearm discomfort) after he left sunday's game. chad kuhl will try to shake the pirates out of their funk when he takes the mound monday opposite mike montgomery, who makes his first start of the season. chicago rolled to an 8-3 victory over san francisco on sunday to take two of three in the series and starts the week 4 1/2 games behind first-place milwaukee in the nl central. anthony rizzo has hit safely in nine straight games for the cubs, recording 10 rbis during that stretch to push his total to 24 this month - which is second in the majors.

pitching matchup: cubs lh mike montgomery (0-1, 5.33 era) vs. pirates rh chad kuhl (4-2, 4.20)

montgomery, who has made 37 starts in 127 career appearances, allowed nine runs in 23 innings of relief this year before giving up six in 2 1/3 frames against cleveland on tuesday. the 28-year-old californian has completed three innings twice in 2018, including on may 6 as he held st. louis without a hit. jordy mercer is 4-for-8 with a homer versus montgomery, who gave up three runs over two frames against the pirates on april 10.
kuhl is unbeaten in his last four starts and six of seven after limiting cincinnati to one run and five hits over six innings in a no-decision on wednesday. the 25-year-old native of delaware, who is 17-17 in his career, has recorded five quality starts while posting three wins in his last seven trips to the mound. ben zobrist is 5-for-9 with two homers and six rbis versus kuhl, who is 1-4 with an 8.23 era in seven career outings against the cubs.

Miami Marlins vs. San Diego Padres Preview and Predictions 05-28-2018

28th May 2018 by Gracenote
despite some encouraging signs in recent weeks, the san diego padres and miami marlins are a combined 24 games under .500 and hold firm grasps on last place in their respective divisions. the teams begin a four-game series monday at petco park eager to end the month on a positive note.

justin bour belted his 10th homer in sunday's 5-2 loss to washington as the marlins were swept in the three-game set as they fell to the nationals for the 11th straight time. miguel rojas started at third base in place of martin prado (hamstring) while j.t. riddle made his second start at shortstop since being recalled from triple-a new orleans and is 0-for-8 with five strikeouts since arriving. san diego dropped two of three to the los angeles dodgers but received a spark from jose pirela, who recorded three hits in sunday's 6-1 loss and went 8-for-13 for the series. the rebuilding padres have been giving an extended look to rookie outfielder franmil reyes, but the 22-year-old is batting .167 after going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts on sunday.
tv: 4:10 p.m. et, fs florida (miami), fs san diego
pitching matchup: marlins lh caleb smith (3-5, 3.83 era) vs. padres lh eric lauer (1-2, 6.67)

smith snapped a two-game skid on tuesday by holding the new york mets to one run and three hits while registering eight strikeouts over 6 2/3 innings in a 5-1 victory. the 26-year-old texan has allowed three runs or fewer in eight of his 10 starts. smith, who is making his first career appearance against san diego, leads all rookies with 65 strikeouts and owns a 3-3 record and 2.41 era over his last six starts.
lauer matched a career high in both innings pitched (six) and strikeouts (seven) against washington on tuesday, when he allowed one run and six hits. "i thought, hands down, it was his best outing," manager andy green told reporters. "i was really encouraged." the strong outing marked a return to form for the 22-year-old rookie, who gave up 10 runs and 13 hits over seven innings in his previous two starts.

1. miami took the 2017 season series against the padres with a 5-1 record, which included a three-game sweep at home from august 25-27.

28th May 2018 by Gracenote
the arizona diamondbacks are stumbling home with 15 losses in their last 17 games after going 1-8 on their just-completed road trip. once 13 games over .500, the diamondbacks now are sitting at 26-26 and hoping to get untracked monday afternoon, when they open a three-game series against the visiting cincinnati reds.

the slumping paul goldschmidt was moved to the second spot in the batting order over the weekend and went 3-for-12 with two rbis as the diamondbacks dropped two of three in oakland. the five-time all-star is batting .205 with six homers and 16 rbis this season but has registered eight blasts and 20 rbis in 37 career games versus cincinnati. the reds fell to 16-20 under interim manager jim riggleman with sunday's 8-2 loss to colorado, which featured another multi-hit performance by scooter gennett. cincinnati lost two of three to the rockies despite a strong series from joey votto, who went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored on sunday but has recorded just one rbi in his last 13 games.
tv: 4:10 p.m. et, fs ohio (cincinnati), fs arizona
pitching matchup: reds rh homer bailey (1-6, 6.21 era) vs. diamondbacks rh matt koch (2-3, 3.77)

28th May 2018 by Gracenote
the cleveland indians look to build off a stirring victory to end their last series when they host the chicago white sox on monday afternoon for the opener of a three-game set between the american league central rivals. the indians rallied for five runs in the bottom of the ninth inning on sunday to forge a tie, matched houston with a homer by yonder alonso in the 13th and won 10-9 on greg allen's walk-off blast in the 14th for their fourth victory in six games.

cleveland's michael brantley singled home the tying run in the ninth and went 2-for-5 to extend his hitting streak to 16 games - the third-longest of his career - during which he is batting .352 with five homers and 17 rbis. the white sox have dropped three of their last four games to fall into last place in the al central, going 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position during a 3-2 loss at detroit on sunday. jose abreu went 0-for-4 in the series finale for chicago as his batting average sank to .313, but he recorded six hits in the previous two contests and multi-hit performances in seven of his last 10 games. the white sox will send dylan covey to the mound monday while the indians counter with adam plutko in a battle of 26-year-olds making their third start of the season.

Texas Rangers vs. Seattle Mariners Preview and Predictions 05-28-2018

28th May 2018 by Gracenote
despite missing the top-third of their batting order due to injuries and suspensions, the seattle mariners haven't skipped a beat in the win column. the mariners set their sights on their ninth win in 10 tries monday, when they open of a four-game series against the visiting texas rangers.

seattle played sunday without usual no. 2 hitter jean segura (concussion), leadoff batter dee gordon (toe) - who was placed on the disabled list tuesday - and no. 3 man robinson cano - who received an 80-game suspension from major league baseball a week earlier for testing positive for a banned substance. the mariners continued their unlikely surge with sunday's 3-1 victory over minnesota, improving to 10-3 since cano last played. the rangers were denied their second three-game winning streak of the season and forced to settle for a four-game series split with kansas city following sunday's 5-3 loss. the mariners hold a 3-2 edge in the season series with their american league west rival after taking two of three in texas in late april and splitting a pair of meetings at home in mid-may.
tv: 4:10 p.m. et, fs southwest (texas), root northwest (seattle)
pitching matchup: rangers rh doug fister (1-4, 4.22 era) vs. mariners lh marco gonzales (4-3, 4.05)

fister was fortunate to come away with a no-decision wednesday versus the new york yankees after surrendering eight runs - six earned - and 11 hits (three homers) in 4 1/3 innings. the fresno state product, who is 0-2 despite posting a 1.90 era in five road starts, is 0-4 over his last eight turns but has produced two scoreless outings in that span. kyle seager and denard span are each 8-for-22 against fister, who is 4-4 with a 5.48 era in 10 career games (eight starts) versus seattle.
gonzales snapped a three-game winless streak wednesday in oakland, earning the victory after yielding only a pair of singles and walking two while fanning six in a career-high seven scoreless frames. the 26-year-old native of colorado held detroit to one unearned run across 5 2/3 innings in his previous outing and has given up only seven hits over 12 2/3 frames in his last two turns. gonzales won his only career start against the rangers, allowing three runs over five innings on sept. 12.
walk-offs

1. eleven of the 13 games the mariners have played without cano have been decided by fewer than three runs (9-2).

2. texas 1b-of joey gallo belted his 15th homer sunday but struck out at least once for the 10th straight game. he leads the majors with 78 strikeouts this season.
3. span is expected to make his team debut monday after being acquired from tampa bay on friday.

Philadelphia Phillies vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Preview and Predictions 05-28-2018

28th May 2018 by Gracenote
despite a setback to a non-division opponent in their last contest, the philadelphia phillies mostly have thrived whenever they have been able to play a team outside of the national league east. the phillies attempt to improve on the majors' best winning percentage versus teams outside of their division monday, when they begin a four-game series against the host los angeles dodgers.

even after dropping two of three to toronto over the weekend, philadelphia is 19-6 outside of its division and just 10-15 versus the nl east. that glowing record against non-divisional opponents has taken a hit of late, however, as four of those losses have come over the last eight contests. following a 16-26 start that matched their worst since moving from brooklyn in 1958, the dodgers have won eight of 10 to move within 3 1/2 games of the lead in the nl west. "i think we're starting to get our mojo back. everyone is getting healthy. ... we're feeling good and feeling confident again," los angeles first baseman cody bellinger told reporters after he and max muncy belted two-run homers in sunday's 6-1 victory over san diego.
tv: 8:10 p.m. et, nbcs philadelphia, sportsnet la (los angeles)
pitching matchup: phillies rh vince velasquez (4-5, 4.18 era) vs. dodgers rh brock stewart (0-0, 3.72)

velasquez registered nine strikeouts on tuesday but saw his three-start winning streak come to an end tuesday against atlanta after giving up two runs - one earned - on six hits and three walks while throwing 89 pitches over 4 1/3 innings. the 25-year-old has failed to make it through five frames in three of his last six turns, although he is averaging 14.05 strikeouts per nine innings over his last three outings. yasmani grandal is 4-for-6 with two homers versus velasquez, who is 0-2 with an 11.45 era in three career games (two starts) against the dodgers.
stewart did enough in the eyes of manager dave roberts to earn another start after not factoring in the decision tuesday against colorado, permitting two runs on five hits and a walk in four innings. the illinois state product worked in relief in each of his previous three appearances, giving up two runs and five hits across 5 2/3 frames. aaron altherr homered in his only at-bat against stewart, who allowed that run in one inning of relief in his only career appearance versus philadelphia last season.
walk-offs

1. dodgers of matt kemp is hitting .441 with five doubles, a homer and eight rbis over his last 10 games.

2. phillies 1b carlos santana is batting .288 with four doubles, seven home runs and 21 rbis in his last 20 games. over his first 30 contests, he was hitting .151 with two blasts and 11 rbis.
3. los angeles on sunday announced lhp clayton kershaw will come off the disabled list and start thursday's series finale.

San Francisco Giants vs. Colorado Rockies Preview and Predictions 05-28-2018

28th May 2018 by Gracenote
the san francisco giants attempt to turn around their fortunes on what has been a difficult eight-game road trip when they visit the colorado rockies on monday for the opener of their three-game series. san francisco suffered an 8-3 loss to the cubs in chicago on sunday to fall to 1-4 on its trek after winning the final two contests of its four-game home set against colorado.

pablo sandoval went 1-for-3 with an rbi while making his first career start at second base sunday while brandon crawford recorded his second straight two-hit performance, giving him hits in 12 of his last 13 contests. colorado began its nine-game homestand by winning two of three against cincinnati, including an 8-2 triumph on sunday. carlos gonzalez went 4-for-4 with one of colorado's four home runs, a two-run blast into the upper deck in the first inning that represented his 1,300th career hit. nolan arenado finished 4-for-9 with two homers and three rbis against the reds as the rockies improved to 2-4-1 in home series this year.
tv: 7:10 p.m. et, espn, nbcs bay area (san francisco), at&t sportsnet rocky mountain (colorado)
pitching matchup: giants lh andrew suarez (1-4, 5.68 era) vs. rockies rh chad bettis (4-1, 3.30)

suarez is looking to halt a three-start losing streak during which he has surrendered 15 runs and 22 hits over 14 innings. the 25-year-old floridian rookie has yielded five runs over four frames in each of his last two turns on the road after earning his first career victory at atlanta on may 6, when he gave up one unearned run in 5 1/3 innings. suarez, who will be facing colorado for the first time, has registered 30 strikeouts and issued only seven walks in 31 2/3 overall frames.
bettis remains in search of his first win at home this season after surrendering 12 runs on 19 hits and seven walks over 15 2/3 innings in three no-decisions at coors field. the 29-year-old texan has made seven of his 10 starts of 2018 on the road, including tuesday's no-decision at los angeles in which he limited the dodgers to two runs over five frames. bettis is 3-4 with a 4.50 era and his lone career complete game - a shutout - in eight starts and four relief appearances against san francisco.
walk-offs

1. rockies of david dahl is riding a four-game hitting streak during which he has gone 5-for-17 with a homer and four rbis.

2. san francisco signed rhp taylor hill, who last pitched in the majors with washington in 2015, to a minor-league contract.

3. colorado 2b dj lemahieu, who has missed 12 games with a left thumb injury, participated in batting practice and fielding drills on sunday and will do the same before the series opener.

LARRY NESS

My 1* Free Play is on the Kansas City Royals (7:15 EST).

While neither starter instills much confidence, I don’t think that the home field advantage can be overlooked as a very real factor in this particular matchup.

The visitors hand the ball to the volatile Lance Lynn (2-4, 6.34 ERA) who comes in off a rare gem against the Tigers on Tuesday, going 6.2 scoreless with four K’s. Previous to that outing though Lynn had posted a dismal 7.0 BB/9, so to say that I’m not going to overreact to a single decent performance would be an understatement.

Note that Lynn has been particularly horrible on the road as well this season by going 1-2 with an 8.14 ERA.

The home side counters with Jake Junis (5-3, 3.52 ERA) who gave up two runs off five hits and a walk while striking out seven over five innings in a victory over the Cards on Wednesday.

Over 61.1 innings of work Junis sports a superb 55/13 K/W and to go along with his respectable ERA, he also owns an elite 1.09 WHIP.

And note that Junis has been particularly sharp in all night contests with a 3-2, 3.93 ERA record thus far.

I’ll point out as well that Minnesota is just 72-90 (-10.4 units) in its last 162 against the division, while KC is 91-84 (+9.9 units) in its last 175 against divisional opponents.

All things considered, i think Junis offers fantastic value in this one. Consider KC on Monday night.

Good luck…Larry

URBAN COOL - The Brain tells me to stay away from horses in sprint contests that haven't hit the board in sprint events of late. Just can't wager on this pony. Didn't show me anything last out or on Nov 10th. Hard to expect this gelding to be in good shape after the long breather. HAWK'S IMAGE - This gelding didn't do much last time. When checking today's class rating, he will have to notch a much better rating than last race out to vie in this dirt sprint.

Top HatGUEST COMMENTARY: The Brain - SHANGHAI RED - After a moderate layoff, has had a few races and today he enters a sprint race. Should be back in form, so I expect this horse to perform well in today's race.

# 8 GALACTIC PRINCESS 5/1

# 2 LAST DRAGONESS 10/1

# 12 A J'S GRAND 3/1

GALACTIC PRINCESS looks to be a very good contender. Well above average win rate at this distance/surface. This filly has some longshot angles I like to take a chance on. She should have a strong performance versus this less demanding group. LAST DRAGONESS - Overall the Equibase Speed Figures of this racer look formidable in this affair. Horses who have been prepared to race at this distance and surface by Garrett have shown strong results as of late. A J'S GRAND - Has formidable Equibase Speed Figures and has to be considered for a wager here. The average class rating alone makes this entrant a solid choice.

F.Y.I. folks, this race is is named for the city in Westchester County (Mount Vernon) on the Bronx and Hutchinson rivers. Here in the 40th running of "The Vernon," #9 FIFTY FIVE has hit the board in four of her last five starts, with three of those "board hit efforts" including a win in her 2nd race back, also qualifying as "POWER RUNS" Jockey Javier Castellano and Trainer Chad Brown send her "postward" for the first of 6 stakes races on today's card ... they've hit the board with an impressive 60% of more than 275 entries saddled as a team to date. #7 TIZZELLE, the pace profile leader, has turned in "POWER RUNS" in four straight,hitting the board in three, including back-to-back "POWER RUN WINS" in her last two starts.

# 4 FIRST PREMIO 2/1

# 7 FLATLINED 3/1

# 6 GREAT WIDE OPEN (IRE) 12/1

I give my vote to FIRST PREMIO here. Looks very good for the conditions of this race today, showing solid figures in turf route races lately. His 103 average has this colt with among the top Speed Figures for this event. Always good to invest in a conditioner with this kind of very good win percentage - 15 percent - at this distance & surface. FLATLINED - Should be carefully examined based on the respectable speed rating garnered in the last affair. Appears to have a formidable class edge based on the recent company kept. GREAT WIDE OPEN (IRE) - This pony has a wonderful win percentage in turf routes.

#8 IL EST VITE (ML=5/2)


IL EST VITE - State bred races are generally easier than 'open' company, and this gelding's move into the 'state bred' class today should make him tough in here. Rider jumped on this gelding's back for the first time on May 12th. Should be in touch with the horse even better this time. Look at this pattern of improvement. 55/58/60 are the last 3 speed ratings.

Vulnerable Contenders: #5 THEYCALLEDHIMBIG (ML=3/1), #1 UNCOMMON CAT (ML=3/1), #3 VICKS FIRST PICK (ML=6/1),

THEYCALLEDHIMBIG - 3/1 is not priced right for any thoroughbred in a sprint of 7 furlongs that hasn't hit the board in a short distance event lately. This was a live animal, but now this one hasn't been doing anything in the morning. Have to be leery of this one. Could be tough for this racer to beat this field off of that last fig. Not probable to improve enough to run a figure close enough to today's class rating, so put him on the possibly overvalued contestants list. UNCOMMON CAT - Should have at least hit the board in the last couple of months in a short distance clash to be worth it at nominal odds in a sprint. When scrutinizing today's Equibase class figure, he will have to register a much better rating than in the last race to be competitive in this dirt sprint. VICKS FIRST PICK - I find it hard to play this less than sharp equine this time around. Make him show you something in a sprint event before you play him in a race of 7 furlongs. The speed fig last time around the track doesn't fit very well in this race when I look at the class figure of today's event. Mark this horse as a questionable challenger.

Top HatGUEST COMMENTARY: Winston - IL EST VITE - This rallier won't let the early foot get too far ahead. Will reel them in down the stretch.

NBA Western Conference Final Game 7 betting preview and odds: Warriors at Rockets

For only the second-time in the NBA playoffs since 1990 there will be a home underdog in Game 7 of a series.

Golden State Warriors at Houston Rockets (+6, 209)

Series tied 3-3.

The Golden State Warriors found the form that made them NBA champions in the second half Saturday and used it to run away with a win and force a Game 7 in the Western Conference finals. The Warriors will try to carry that momentum on the road and earn their fourth consecutive trip to the NBA Finals when they visit the Houston Rockets Monday.

The Rockets jumped out to a 39-22 lead after the first quarter in Game 6 and held a 61-51 edge at the break only to score 25 points in the second half and suffer a 115-86 setback as Golden State exploded behind Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry. "We'd like to get off to a better start," Warriors coach Steve Kerr told reporters. "But we like -- we like our formula. We like our defense against these guys, and we feel confident that we can carry this through to Game 7 on the road and continue to make things as difficult as possible on Houston without fouling." Houston is confident heading home despite the beating it took in the second half on Saturday and the uncertainty surrounding the health of point guard Chris Paul. "If you asked us when we were in the Bahamas this summer, this team together, you know, Western Conference Finals, Game 7 to go to the finals against the Warriors, we'll take that," Rockets star James Harden told reporters. "So, nothing changes for us. We know what we have to do."

TV: 9 p.m. ET, TNT

LINE HISTORY: The Warriors opened as 5-point road favorites for Game 7 and as of Sunday night that number is up to 6. The total hit betting boards at 210 and is down slightly to 209.

WHAT SHARPS SAY: "For only the second-time in the NBA playoffs since 1990 there will be a home underdog in Game 7 of a series. It’s what happens when you take on the defending champion Golden State Warriors sans the services of injured All Star PG Chris Paul. Nonetheless, look for defense to prevail in another exciting Game 7 showdown." - Marc Lawrence.

INJURY REPORT:

Warriors - SF A. Iguodala (Questionable, Leg), SF C. Boucher (Out Indefinitely, Ankle).

Rockets - PG C. Paul (Questionable, Hamstring).

MATCHUP CHART:

http://i66.tinypic.com/14ctvs7.jpg

ABOUT THE WARRIORS (69-29 SU, 42-55-1 ATS, 44-53-1 O/U): Thompson finished with 35 points and went 9-of-14 from 3-point range in Game 6 as Golden State started to push the pace and move the ball. "I feel like we're the best team in the world and most fun team in the world to watch when we're pushing that ball, getting defensive stops and making plays," Thompson told reporters. "We've got too much talent not just to hit singles like coach always says. Trust the next man ahead of us. It will end up working in our favor most of the time." Thompson added four steals to his performance and his teammates credited his work on Harden at the defensive end for sparking the offense.

ABOUT THE ROCKETS (76-22 SU, 50-47-1 ATS, 39-58-1 O/U): Paul sat out Game 6 with a hamstring injury suffered in the final minute of Game 5 and remains uncertain for Game 7. Houston committed 21 turnovers without their point guard on the floor in Game 6, including nine by Harden, who finished with 32 points and nine assists but continued a trend of poor shooting from beyond the arc with a 4-of-12 effort. "There's no pressure," Harden told reporters of Game 7. "It's an opportunity, though, an opportunity that we all are excited to be a part of. Game 7 at our house. That's what we worked the entire regular season for, is homecourt advantage. We're going to come out and we're going to be ready."

TRENDS:

* Warriors are 5-17 ATS in their last 22 games following a straight up win.
* Rockets are 6-14 ATS in their last 20 vs. NBA Pacific.
* Under is 5-1 in Warriors' last 6 road games.
* Under is 16-5 in Rockets' last 21 vs. NBA Pacific.
* Under is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings.

CONSENSUS:

57 percent of pointspread bets are on the Houston Rockets while 66 percent of totals wagers are on the Over.

NHL Stanley Cup Final Game 1 betting preview and odds: Capitals at Golden Knights

Washington Capitals at Vegas Golden Knights (-145, 5.5)

Series tied 0-0.

The Vegas Golden Knights started their inaugural season looking to be competitive and could end it with a championship as they host the Washington Capitals on Monday night for Game 1 of the best-of-seven Stanley Cup finals. The Golden Knights needed only 15 games to dispatch Los Angeles, San Jose and Winnipeg in the Western Conference playoffs to give themselves seven days off before facing the Alex Ovechkin-led Capitals.

Veteran goalie Marc-Andre Fleury, who has a .947 save percentage in the playoffs, leads the way for Vegas while Jonathan Marchessault boasts eight goals to along with 18 points in the postseason and told NHL.com: “We’re on a mission. Nobody is going to stand in front of us.” Washington, which dropped both meetings with the Golden Knights in the regular season, is the last obstacle as the Capitals make their first appearance in the finals since 1998 while seeking their first Cup after losing in the second round of the playoffs as the Presidents’ Trophy winners in 2016 and 2017. Washington lost the first two games of the playoffs at home before beating Columbus in six contests, eliminated its nemesis Pittsburgh and won at Tampa Bay in Game 7 on Wednesday to reach the finals in the 13th season for seven-time Rocket Richard Trophy winner Ovechkin (607 goals). “I think our group here really understands what it means to be a team and how to win,” Capitals goalie Braden Holtby told reporters. “Maybe in the past we’ve had more skill or been better on paper or whatever. But this team, everyone knows their role and everyone wants to pitch in and everyone is comfortable with each other. I haven’t been on a team like this where, in any situation, we’re confident.”

ABOUT THE CAPITALS (61-31-8-1, 53-43 O/U): Ovechkin boasts career highs of 12 goals and 22 points in the playoffs after scoring the winner in Game 7 on Wednesday and Washington general manager Brian MacLellan told reporters: “This is the most systematic he’s played throughout his career.” The 32-year-old gets plenty of help from fellow Russian Evgeny Kuznetsov, who has a franchise-record 24 playoff points this season and owns at least one in 10 straight contests (six goals). Defenseman Brooks Orpik is the only Washington player with Stanley Cup finals experience and the 37-year-old is having his best career postseason with three assists and an NHL-best, plus-15 rating.

ABOUT THE GOLDEN KNIGHTS (63-26-5-3, 47-46 O/U): Fleury won three Stanley Cups with Pittsburgh, including the last two seasons, and veteran forward James Neal reached the finals with Nashville in 2017 to give Vegas two players with plenty of knowledge on this big stage. “I think they’re just, with their experience and presence, they stay calm,” Golden Knights center William Karlsson, who has 13 points in the playoffs after scoring 43 goals in the regular season, told reporters. “I don’t really ask them too much. Just having them around has a calming feeling. That’s enough for me.” Forward Reilly Smith is tied for second in the league during the playoffs with 14 assists.
