Tuesday NHL Pick

The young phenom, Connor McDavid, will take his Edmonton Oilers into PPG Paints Arena tonight to face his idol, Sidney Crosby, and the Pittsburgh Penguins. Edmonton is off to a great start but has struggled in the past against Pittsburgh. The Oilers are 3-8 in their last 11 meetings with the Penguins and are 1-4 in their last 5 at the PPG. Matt Murray is expected between the pipes for Pittsburgh and he has been spectacular, owning a 2-0 record with a GAA of just 0.50 and a .985 SV%. The Penguins are 5-0-1 at home this season and they should get the win tonight.

Tonight’s pick:

Pittsburgh Penguins

Friday CFL Pick

The 10-7-0 Winnipeg Blue Bombers travel to Canada’s capital tonight to take on the 8-8-1 Ottawa RedBlacks. The Bombers are 6-2-0 on the road, averaging 30.4 points per game and allowing 26.4 when on foreign turf. The RedBlacks are 2-5-1 at home, averaging 25.8 points per game, giving up 28.0 at TD Place Stadium and are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 home games. On the flip side, Winnipeg has been covering on the road, going 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games. This line opened at a pick on October 31st and has now moved to Winnipeg laying 3 and you know what that means…

Tonight’s pick:

Winnipeg Blue Bombers -3

Thursday NBA Pick

The Sacramento Kings head down south to Florida to take on the Orlando Magic at Amway Center. The Kings are 2-3 on the young season, averaging 100.8 points per game and allowing 102.6. The Magic are 1-3 on the season, averaging 95.0 points per game and allowing 105.5. Sacramento has the edge in points per game, field goal percentage, free throw percentage, defense and bench, and they are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 in Orlando. I like the Sacramento Kings here, +1 point.

Today’s pick:

Sacramento Kings +1

Wednesday MLB World Series Game 7 Pick

The Chicago Cubs did it. They forced a Game 7 and will try to keep the momentum going tonight when they send Kyle Hendricks to the hill. Hendricks is 17-9, with an ERA of 2.05 and a WHIP of just 0.98. The Cubs are 5-0 in Hendricks’ last 5 road starts and 5-0 in their last 5 when he has 4 days’ rest. The Cleveland Indians will send their ace, Corey Kluber, to the hill tonight and he’s also had a stellar year, going 22-10, with an ERA of 2.86 and a WHIP of 1.05. The Indians are 5-0 in Kluber’s last 5 home starts against a team with a winning record and 6-1 in his last 7 against the NL Central. Flip a coin on this one but I’m sticking with the Cubs.

Tonight’s pick:

Chicago Cubs

Tuesday MLB World Series Game 6 Pick

The Chicago Cubs will try to force a Game 7 when they send Jake Arrieta to the hill tonight at Progressive Field. Arrieta is 19-9 on the season, with a 3.15 ERA and a 1.08 WHIP. In Arrieta’s last outing in Cleveland, he looked sharp in a 5-1 Cubbies win. The Cubs are 4-1 in Arrieta’s last 5 starts when he has 5 days’ rest and are 4-1 in his last 5 starts against the AL Central. Josh Tomlin gets the nod for Cleveland and he is 15-9, with a 4.18 ERA, a WHIP of 1.16 and Tomlin is going on only 3 days’ rest. Joe West is behind the dish tonight and the Cubs are 6-1 in their last 7 when he’s calling it. I like the Cubs’ chances tonight.

Today’s pick:

Chicago Cubs
