NHL public betting, line movement for August 16
Patrick Everson

The Blues and Canucks meet Sunday night for Game 3 of their Western Conference quarterfinal series. Vancouver leads the series 2-0, but St. Louis is a -125 favorite for Game 3.

NHL betting odds are up for Sunday’s quintet of conference quarterfinal matchups. Among the highlights: the defending Stanley Cup champion St. Louis Blues in dire need of a Game 3 win against the Vancouver Canucks, and the Philadelphia Flyers aiming to bounce back from a Game 2 blowout at the hands of the Montreal Canadiens.

Multiple oddsmakers provided insights on NHL opening lines and early line movement, sharp money and public betting for Sunday’s contests.

NHL line movement

After a 4-3 Game 2 overtime loss Friday, the Blues find themselves in a 2-0 hole in their best-of-7 series with the Canucks. Caesars sportsbooks opened St. Louis a -135 Game 3 favorite and moved to -125 Saturday, with Vancouver +110 for tonight’s final game, a 10:30 p.m. ET faceoff.

At 8 p.m. ET, the Flyers and Canadiens collide in Game 3, after Montreal knotted up the series with a 5-0 wipeout Friday. Philadelphia opened -135 and Montreal +120 at Caesars, and there was no line movement by late Saturday night.

The Vegas Golden Knights can be the first the team to reach the conference semifinals, as they go for a four-game sweep in a 6:30 p.m. ET matchup against the Chicago Blackhawks. That line wasn’t posted Saturday night because Vegas and Chicago were entangled in Game 3, which the Knights won 2-1.

NHL public betting

The Consensus can often be indicative of where the public stands, and in the case of Blues-Canucks, it’s two-way action. Vancouver was seeing 54 percent of early picks Saturday night. Flyers-Canadiens also had some two-way play, though the lean was slightly more, with Philly landing 57 percent of early Consensus picks.

Hi new poster here!

I mostly use RX but I also signed up for IWS too just so I can have multiple accounts on multiple forums for posting picks and opinions on the world of sports plus finding service plays to use for my own use!~
Each day I see a big grid of 25 services(the post with VSI/Tony Campone etc) and just wondering a few things about it:
1) Are those free plays with email sign up or how are the picks received?
2) Where can I receive these picks for personal use besides this forum?
3) By any chance is this the "Full Consensus Report" purchased from VegasSI? Or are you just combining plays from other sites?

I always use the 25 services to come up with 1 2 or (rarely) 3 picks to have a solid play every day! Thank you to Can'tPickAWinner and everyone else who posts these services and hoping my questions are not too stupid enough

Thanks and glad to be here on IWS!

BOB VALENTINO

I gave you a free play on Montreal and Philadelphia Under the total on Friday afternoon and you either won or pushed depending on your price in the Canadiens 5-0 shutout of the Flyers.

Philly wound up pulling starting keeper Carter Hart when it got to 4-0, but don't you worry about Hart he will be back in there for this Game 3 and I expect him to be much sharper than he was on Friday. In other words, let's give Hart his "mulligan".

The Flyers are now 4-0-1 Under in their 5 games played in Toronto and going back to their March games are 7-0-1 Under the total for their last 8 skates.

Les Habitants are 4-1-1 Under in their 6 games contested since the restart and are 6-2-1 Under overall for their last 9 games.

Carey Price has been an absolute wall with 10 goals allowed in his 6 games between the pipes.

The saying at this time of the year is a hot goalie can take you a long way. Hart had been hot and will likely return to his stingy ways, but Price is on fire right now and it's doubtful the Flyers are going to get many into his net.

Stick with both teams Under trends and go low in Philly-Montreal for Sunday night.

LARRY NESS

MLB | Aug 16, 2020
Royals vs. Twins
Twins-173

My free play is on the Min Twins at 2:10 ET.

Minnesota won the AL Central in 2019 by EIGHT games over Cleveland, finishing 101-61. It earned the franchise its first 100-win season since 1965, a year the Twins lost a seven-game World Series to Sandy Koufax and the LA Dodgers. Minnesota's lineup scored the second-highest run total in the majors (939), while leading all teams in HRs (307 represented a major league record!) and RBI. The Twins jumped out to a 10-2 start in 2020 but have lost SIX of nine as they host KC on Sunday (3rd game of a four-game series). The Royals were one of four teams to lose 100-plus games in 2019, as their 59-103 record left them 42 games back of the Twins in the AL Central. The Royals opened 3-10 this season but have won SIX of eight entering Sunday.

Squaring off on Sunday are two rookies, KC's Brady Singer (1-1, 4.50 ERA) and Minnesota's Randy Dobnak (3-1, 0.90 ERA). Singer will be making his fifth big league start and his first major league victory came against the Twins last Sunday in Kansas City, when he allowed two runs on five hits over five innings in a 4-2 win. Dobnak is a former Uber and Lyft driver who was signed by the Twins out of the independent United Shore Professional Baseball League in Detroit. He made nine appearances (five starts) last season, pitching a total of only 28.1 innings. However, he sure got everyone's attention. His ERA was 1,59, his WHIPP was 1.13 (had a 23-5 KW ratio). He's opened the 2020 season with a 3-1 record and majors-best 0.90 ERA (among starters) in four starts (0.90 WHIP, 34-10 KW ratio and .183 BAA).

Not about to 'fade' Dobnak while he's in this kind of zone!

Good luck...Larry
