Wunderdog Sports Free Pick
Game: Dallas Stars @ Anaheim Ducks
Time: Wednesday 04/16 10:05 PM Eastern
Pick: Dallas +1.5 (-200) at 5Dimes
The Dallas Stars have the unenviable task of opening their first round in the NHL playoffs in Anaheim. The Ducks were amazing on home ice to start the season as they played to a 20-2 record here. It seemed like an impossibility to take them down. That changed from that point on with Anaheim finishing their last 19 homers with a losing record of 9-10. The biggest difference was that their opponents managed just 40 goals in the first 22, less than 2 goals per contest, to scoring 52 in the final 19 at nearly 3 per contest. The Stars recorded just six shutouts on the season, but two of those occurred in their last eight games, and over their final 13 they allowed a total of 2 goals per contest. That leaves them some wiggle room against an Anaheim team that simply has not been the same dominant team at home as they were early in the season. Dallas keeps it close in the opener, so take the Stars on the puckline.Comment

Wunderdog Sports Free Pick
Game: Chicago Cubs @ New York Yankees
Time: Wednesday 04/16 7:05 PM Eastern
Pick: Chicago +145 (moneyline) at 5Dimes
The New York Yankees did not make the playoffs last year, so they went out and did what the Yankees do - reloaded with high-priced free agents. The problem is that this is the oldest aged team in MLB and injuries will play a part in their season. McCann, Cervelli, Teixiera, Jeter, Volarte, Roberts, Ryan, and closer David Robertson are all dealing with injuries right now. The Yankees lineup has not produced as it is, and right now it is a short lineup. New York will be on the hook with perhaps a third-string catcher and a rookie pitcher for this one. This will also be a second game of a doubleheader, and with few options many may be forced to play in both games. The Cubs haven't found much magic, but they have in interleague play where they are 13-6 in their last 19, and are catching the Yankees short here. Take the Cubs in game 2.Comment

NBA – 521 Chicago Bulls @ 522 Charlotte Bobcats
Today’s card is pretty specific as not only we have to be focused on the matchups but also (and especially) w/ injuries, “taking” or playoff seeding!
When the Bulls faced the Knicks, I took NYK w/ the following mindset:
Unfortunately for us, the Pacers have defeated the Thunder today and basically they locked up the #1 seed on the East. They “just” need to beat the Magic on the final day of the regular season to have the home court edge throughout the playoffs – their primary goal for the season.
So, what in the hell I’m talking about this in here?!
With the Pacers being the #1 seed, the Bulls can “choose” between facing the Pacers or the Heat @ 2nd round and between us, the answer is pretty easy to guess, right? They just “need” to let TOR be the #3 seed…
For this contest, I expect the Bulls to be more “relaxed”
Well, the Bulls indeed lose that game and the Raptors took over the #3 seed… Note that this contest is @7PM EST while the Raptors game is @8PM EST, so I expect the Bulls to not be that “much focused” vs. CHA who still have a legit chance to be #6 seed and avoid the Heat in the first round.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 522 Charlotte Bobcats (-1) @ -110
NBA – 509 Detroit Pistons @ 510 Oklahoma City Thunder
I understand that we are taking some risks in taking the Under w/ DET in this season because so far, DET O/U mark in the season is 55-26 OVER (68% hitting rate!).
However, I believe that this is a good opportunity for us and we are getting an inflated line IMO. First of all, OKC needs to win to secure the #2 seed in the West but this isn’t going to be that difficult against this pathetic DET team.
Probably, Durant & Westbrook will start but I don’t expect them to play so many minutes like they did @NO (more than 40minutes!)!
We should see a heavy dose of OKC’s bench and this is why I really the Under in here:
1) Obviously, there will be a considerable drop off in terms of offensive efficiency without Westbrook & Durant and this will help DET’s defense
2) OKC’s have some great size on the bench to matchup vs. DET’s frontcourt… Collison, Adams and even Thabeet will give some size to OKC and so, DET’s won’t punish OKC down low & boards like they are used to do.
My fair line for this contest is 208/210 points and so, I’m taking the Under in here!
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 509/510 Under 213 @ -110Comment

BOB BALFE
KANSAS CITY ROYALS -120
Guthrie/Kuechel
The Royals finally got their first road win of the season yesterday after dropping their first 5. I believe Kansas City will build on that against a bad team to begin with and the pitching matchup clearly in favor of the Royals with Guthrie on the mound. Take Kansas CityComment
