Friday MLB World Series Game 3 Pick

After splitting the first two games in Cleveland, the Indians and Cubs will now face off for the next three games at Wrigley Field – Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Kyle Hendricks gets the nod for the Cubs. Hendricks is 17-9 on the season, with a 2.09 ERA, and a WHIP of just 0.96. The Cubs are 16-5 in Hendricks’ last 21 starts and 9-2 in his last 11 home starts against a team with a winning record. Cleveland will counter tonight, sending Josh Tomlin to the hill, who is 15-9 on the season, with a 4.29 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP. The Indians are 3-7 in their last 10 meetings with the Cubs and 1-4 in their last 5 meetings at Wrigley. I like the Cubs in this one.

Tonight’s pick:

Chicago Cubs

Thursday NHL Pick

The New York Islanders are playing back-to-back games and will travel to PPG Paints Arena to take on Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins. Crosby looked sharp on Tuesday against Florida, after returning from a concussion, and found the back of the net in a Penguins 3-2 victory. The Islanders are 0-7 in their last 7 games against the Eastern Conference and they are 6-21 in their last 27 in Pittsburgh. The Penguins are 4-0-1-0 at home and will keep it rolling tonight.

Tonight’s pick:

Pittsburgh Penguins

MLB World Series Game 1 Pick

The two best skippers in the business, Cleveland Indians’ Terry Francona and Chicago Cubs’ Joe Maddon, will face off in the Fall Classic which should be one for the memories. There is no fluke in this – these are, without question, the two best teams in baseball and they’ll get things started tonight at Progressive Field. The Indians will send their ace, Corey Kluber, to the hill, who is 20-10 on the season, with an ERA of 2.97 and a 1.06 WHIP. The Cubs will send their flame-throwing southpaw, Jon Lester, to the mound and he is 21-5 on the season, with a 2.29 ERA and a WHIP of just 0.99. Lester dominates in the post-season, with a 2.50 ERA in 17 career post-season starts and is 4-0, with a 3.72 ERA in 8 career starts in Cleveland. The Cubbies are 5-0 in Lester’s last 5 interleague starts and 6-2 in their last 8 meetings with Cleveland. I give the edge to Chicago in this one.

Tonight’s pick:

Chicago Cubs

Monday NHL Pick

The Montreal Canadiens are off to a blazing start for the 2016-2017 campaign and will try to keep it going tonight when host the Broad Street Bullies at Bell Centre. Carey Price is expected between the pipes for the Habs and he has been spectacular, with a 2-0-0 record, a GAA of 2.02 and a .920 SV%. The Flyers are expected to have Steve Mason in the crease and he has been mediocre at best, with a record of 1-2-1, a GAA of 3.35 and a SV% of .882. Philadelphia is 0-4 in their last 4 meetings in Montreal and the home team is 20-6 in the last 26 meetings between these two clubs. I like the Habs in this one.

Tonight’s pick:

Montreal Canadiens

Sunday NFL Pick

The Buffalo Bills head south today to take on their hated rival, the Miami Dolphins. Buffalo is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings with Miami and the Dolphins are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games against the AFC East. The Dolphins have been sputtering at home, going 3-11 in their last 14 at Hard Rock. The Bills’ LeSean “Shady” McCoy was questionable for today’s game but is expected to play. With the money line at -140, I’m going to skip the -2.5 points and take the boys from Western New York, money line.

Today’s pick:

Buffalo Bills -140

Saturday MLB NLCS Game 6 Pick

The Los Angeles Dodgers will try to even things up at Wrigley Field today when they send their ace lefty, Clayton Kershaw to the hill. Kershaw is 6-2 in his last 8 against the Chicago Cubs and the Cubs are 2-5 in their last 7 against southpaws. I’m going with Kershaw in this one.

Today’s pick:

Los Angeles Dodgers
