NHL | Golden Knights vs Blackhawks
Play on: Blackhawks +193 at linepros
Let's face it the Golden Knights aren't making the playoffs for the first time in their franchise's five-year history. They aren't officially eliminated - yet. That's caused the oddsmaker to inflate this matchup.
But realistically the Golden Knights are dead. So I'm going to take this huge price with the home underdog Blackhawks, who are well rested having last played on Monday when they defeated the Flyers, 3-1. This is Chicago's final home game of the season. The Blackhawks should be fired up because of that. They have dangerous scorers with Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat.
Make no mistake, though, this handicap is mainly a fade on the Golden Knights.
Las Vegas lost, 3-2, in a shootout to the Stars in Dallas last night. The Golden Knights blew a late two-goal lead and lost in a shootout to the Sharks this past Sunday. Those excruciating losses have put the Golden Knights four points behind the Stars in the playoff chase. Las Vegas and Dallas each have two remaining games.
The Stars close the regular season playing the Coyotes today and the Ducks Friday. The Coyotes have the lowest point total in the Western Conference. The Ducks aren't making the playoffs either.
The Golden Knights are physically and mentally down having gone all out to defeat the Stars last night. Now they have to travel and play without rest. This is what Las Vegas coach Peter DeBoer said following the loss to Dallas. ''It's not perfect, back-to-back. We emptied the tank tonight. We don't have a choice. We've got to find a way to re-energize here ...''
Deep down inside, the Golden Knights know that the Stars aren't losing to both the Coyotes and Ducks. Their season is finished.

MLB | Guardians vs Angels
Play on: Guardians +183 at Ace
Jack's Free Pick Wednesday: Cleveland Guardians +183
It's a great time to 'buy low' on the Cleveland Guardians as massive underdogs to the Los Angeles Angels tonight after dropping five straight games. Cleveland starter Zach Plesac will give them a much better chance to win this game than this line would indicate.
Plesac has been dominant in three starts this season, going 1-1 with a 1.53 ERA and 1.075 WHIP while allowing just 3 earned runs and 2 walks in 17 2/3 innings. Plesac has never lost to the Angels, going 2-0 with a 2.81 ERA and 0.875 WHIP in two career starts against them.
Shohei Ohtani is 1-2 with a 4.39 ERA in three starts this season for the Angels. He gets a lot of respect when he's on the mound after winning the MVP last year, and that's evident tonight as he's a -200 favorite over the Guardians.
The Angels are 3-14 in their last 17 home games after allowing 3 runs or fewer in two consecutive games. Cleveland is 21-8 in its last 29 games after scoring one run or fewer in its previous game. Bet the Guardians Wednesday.
