The Oilers enter the season coming off an eight-game exhibition slate in which they averaged more than four goals per game. Connor McDavid and Leon Draiasitl are going to get their points versus any foe. But the Oilers were especially rough on the Flames last season averaging five goals a game in sweeping all four matchups.
Calgary ranked 16th in goal scored last season. The Flames have enough offense to take advantage of Edmonton missing key defenseman Andrej Sekera, who is out following knee surgery. Goalie Cam Talbot wasn't that sharp during exhibition season giving up 11 goals on 79 shots.
Fp: Pat's have struggled to start the season losing 2 of the first 4 and Tampa Bay had looked avrage on offense as well 57 points to win will be a chore making the under my nfl free pick.
Wild Card game from Chase Field, and I am going to look for the bats to do just enough damage in this one to squeak the game Over the total.
It will be playoff-newbie Jon Gray and his young Colorado Rockies against veteran Zack Greinke and his untested Arizona Diamondbacks.
I say throw out the 4-1-1 Under mark these teams played to in the last 6 meetings in the month of September, things tend to change come October, and I am not sure I trust young Mr. Gray to match Mr. Greinke in posting goose eggs on the Chase Field scoreboard tonight.
The bats in both lineups have plenty of pop, and let's also remember that the Over is 5-2-1 the last 8 times Greinke has started against the Rockies dating back to the 2014 season.
As for Gray, he faced Arizona twice in September, and both of those starts ended up landing Under the total. BUT, again, this is the postseason, and it will be Gray's first career start at this time of the year. Nerves do tend to play a factor if ya know what I mean!
These teams are quite familiar with one another as they play out of the same division, so let's look for the bats to have enough success to push this game to the Over column.
Both teams have their best available "ace" in this do-or-die situation, and on paper, it would seem to be a stone cold Under.
However, with their lives on the line, and both these pitchers only around for 6 innings, there is plenty of time for the dangerous bats on both these teams to do tremendous damage.
Do not underestimate the run-scoring ability of the Rockies and the Diamondbacks.
This might look like a first quarter football score.
