The Winnipeg Jets will have their perfect 7-0 record on the line tonight when they visit the Saddledome to face the 5-1-1 Calgary Flames. The Flames have had the Jets’ number, winning 3 of the last 4 meetings, and are 4-0 in the last 4 against them at home. Winnipeg was lucky to win their last game against the Seattle Kraken and will be wrapping up a 3-game road trip so they ripe for a loss. Calgary is expected to have Dustin Wolf between the pipes. Wolf is 3-0 with a 2.30 GAA and a .936 Sv%. Calgary matches up well with Winnipeg. The Flames are 3-1-0 at home and all good things must come to an end. Consider the home dog tonight.
TONIGHT’S PICK: CALGARY FLAMES

Friday MLB Pick
The World Series kicks off tonight at Chavez Ravine and it’s the matchup the baseball world wanted, the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Tonight, in game 1 of the best of 7, two right-handers are expected to get the nod: Gerrit Cole for New York and Jack Flaherty for Los Angeles. Cole has been in this situation many times before so it’s just another day at the office for the Yankee ace. Cole is 1-0 in the postseason with a 3.31 ERA and 12 punchouts over 16.1 innings of work. The Bombers’ heavy hitters should be able to get to Flaherty. He is 1-2 in the postseason with a boated 7.04 ERA with 8 Ks over 15.1 innings of work, and the Yankees 7-0 in their last 7 against a right-handed starter. Expect Cole to have a little extra mustard on his arsenal of pitches tonight. He grew up in So Cal and was always a Yankee fan so this one will mean just a little bit more for the Yankee flamethrower.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK YANKEES
Thursday NHL Pick
The New York Rangers return home tonight to MSG and will host the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers. The Rangers are clicking on every cylinder. They have won 4 straight, are 5-0-1 on the season, and 1-0-1 at the Garden. New York has been a scoring machine, averaging over 5 goals per game and allowing an average of just 2. The Champs are 4-3-1, 2-2-0 on the road, and will have their tail between their legs tonight after Tuesday’s 5-1 thumping by the Minnesota Wild in front of their home crowd.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK RANGERS
Wednesday NHL Pick
The Philadelphia Flyers and the Washington Capitals will be playing back-to-back games tonight but the venue switches from Wells Fargo Center to Capital One Arena in the nation’s capital. The 4-1-1 Caps cruised to an easy 4-1 victory last night on Broad Street and have now won 4 straight. The Flyers are just 1-4-1 on the season and have lost 5 in a row, and it won’t get any easier tonight. Ivan Fedotov is expected to be between the pipes for Philly and this guy can’t even stop a basketball. He is 0-2 with a bloated 6.00 GAA, a .818 SV%, and that doesn’t bode well for the Flyers when the Capitals are averaging 4 goals per game. Washington is 2-1-0 at home and have won the last 3 meetings with Philly. The current line is Washington -140, which is fishy. It should be higher, but you cannot ignore the fact that the Capitals are the better team, by far, and have the edge in goals scored, goals against, etc., etc., etc.
TONIGHT’S PICK: WASHINGTON CAPITALS
Tuesday NHL Pick
The Vegas Golden Knights have lost three straight, all on the road against some really good teams, but return home tonight to the strip where they are 3-0 to host the Los Angeles Kings. The Golden Knights 3-game road trip was not an easy one, but they could have and should have won all three. Vegas lost to Florida in OT 3-4, Tampa 3-4, and Washington 2-4. The Kings are wrapping up a 7-game road trip. Being on the road is never easy, especially a 7-gamer, so it has to be taking its toll. Vegas has won 3 of the last 4 meetings with LA, and as an underdog the Kings are just 1-5 in their last 6. Vegas gets back on track tonight.
TONIGHT’S PICK: VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS
Monday NFL Pick
The 3-2 Los Angeles Chargers will visit the desert tonight for a showdown with the 2-4 Arizona Cardinals. The Chargers’ sluggish offense came alive last week in their 23-16 road win over a very good Denver Broncos team, and I expect more of the same tonight. The Cardinals have one of the worst defenses in the NFL. They are allowing an average of 27.2 points per game, 383.7 total yards, 220.3 passing and 153 rushing. Arizona is 1-2 at home this year and the fact is Kyler Murray and the Cardinals are just not very good. Justin Herbert will have his best game thus far of the season and the Bolts come out on top. With LA currently laying only -1.5, this is a money line bet all day long.
TONIGHT’S PICK: LOS ANGELES CHARGERS M/L
Sunday NHL Pick
The Winnipeg Jets will have their perfect 4-0 record on the line when they host the 3-3-0 Pittsburgh Penguins today at Canada Life Centre. Much of the Jets’ early success can be credited to their goalie, Connor Hellebuyck, who is expected to be between the pipes for Winnipeg today. Hellebuyck has been the net minder for all 4 wins and has a GAA of only 1.25 with a .925 SV%. The Penguins are expected to have Tristan Jarry in the crease and the Jets’ heavy hitters should be able to find the back of the net. Jarry is 1-1 with a bloated 5.45 GAA and a .836 SV%, which is not good. Winnipeg is averaging 4.5 goals per game as opposed to Pittsburgh’s 3.5, and with Helly guarding the fort they are the side worth backing.
