Wednesday 4-25-18 Free Plays / Trends / Betting Info / Etc
Your Wednesday freebie is the Under in the Pacers-Cavaliers showdown at Quicken Loans Arena.
The teams have been inching closer to landing Over the total, as the Sunday meeting ended with 204 combined points - just a bucket short of landing Over!
The fact remains, all 4 games played in this best-of-seven series have ended up Under the posted total, as they Under is now 7-1-1 the past 9 times these teams have jumped ball.
Dating back to the end of the regular season, the Pacers stand at 7-2 Under the total their last 9 games, and is 11-5 now their last 16 games played.
The Cavs are on a 5 game Under run, and 10 of their last 13 since the regular campaign have also held Under the total.
My advice is until we see one of these defensive-minded battles land Over, you keep riding the Under train.
It seems every year, if there is one thing you can count on like clockwork, it's siding against the Minnesota Twins a few times when they're in the Bronx.
Once again, my free play is on the Yankees, as I have them beating Minnesota for a third straight night. Two nights back I delivered the Yanks on the Run Line, a 14-1 winner. Last night I played them straight. Tonight I'm back on the Run Line.
IMPORTANT: As you know every single Run Line play and Total wager will automatically list the scheduled starting pitchers at the time of the wager. But with this game I am not concerned with who is pitching for either team tonight and want you playing this game on the Run Line regardless. That said, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to be sure you have action even if one of the pitchers scheduled to start is scratched, by betting the game over again in the event that takes place.
The streaking Yankees have won four in a row and catch a struggling Minnesota team that has lost five straight and six of seven, including getting plastered by a combined 18 runs the last two nights.
This is the last place the Twins want to be, while trying to get back into a winning groove.
Take the Yankees and remember what I said about the pitchers. New York continues its mystique over the Twins in the Bronx, where New York has won 42 of 55 meetings.
Looking for a lower-scoring game on the ice tonight in Boston when the Maple Leafs take of the Bruins for the right to head to the conference semifinals in the East.
Boston's offense was held to just one goal on Monday night in Toronto, as 2 of the last 3 in this series have landed Under the total.
The Under is also 5-4-1 the past 10 times these teams have skated, and while that is not a glaring Under trend, it is enough to convince me that this 7th and deciding game is going to be a tightly-contested, lower-scoring affair with one team's season hanging in the balance.
I have to believe that Frederick Andersen and Tuukka Rask both stand tall in the pipes tonight and the defense in front of them keeps this game from turning into an offensive shoot out.
No more than 4 total goals tonight. Under in Game 7 of the Toronto-Boston series.
My free play for tonight is on the Under in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinal between the Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs.
The Bruins come into this one holding an all-time record of 13-12 in Game 7s, including a 12-8 mark on home ice. This will mark Boston’s 26th appearance in a Game 7, breaking a tie with Detroit (25) for the most in NHL history. If they want to treat the fans to a victory, they're going to need to slow down the Maple Leafs' attack and become very aggressive with the back-checking.
The Maple Leafs - who own an all-time record of 12-10 in Game 7s, including a 5-9 mark on the road - have lost two of three Game 7s with the Bruins, including the notorious 2013 clash, when the Maple Leafs rallied from a 3-1 series deficit to force a Game 7 against the Bruins in the conference quarterfinals.
Boston closed out the series by becoming the first team in NHL history to overcome a three-goal, third-period deficit to win in a Game 7.
A total of 11 players on the current Bruins and Maple Leafs rosters skated in that game, so you can imagine the physicality we're going to see tonight between these division rivals.
The first six games have split out with the total, but with everything on the line in this one, I'm convinced we'll see a battle between goalies.
