Speaker 1: NHL Best bets for Wednesday, April first, and yes it's
April first, April Fools Day.
Speaker 2: I've got nothing for you guys.
Speaker 1: I'm sure Carmine would potentially have a little dad joke
for you to start the show off. I've got nothing
for you today, but just hoping for a great, great
day here for us on the show. And it's a
small slate, but we're gonna try and find you guys
some winners. Hope you guys all took advantage of the
Tuesday at wager talk dot com five dollars Tuesday, a
handful of handicappers had hockey plays. It's also a full
baseball slate, as it usually is.
Speaker 2: And it's gonna be a great, great day here.
Speaker 1: Of course, I think we've got, you know, a couple
of good games we can find some angles on. But
we also have one game that I was saying to
Brian Leonard before the show, potentially the highest odds of
the season so far. Today's show just myself and Brian
Leonard as a Carmine is mourning the loss of Italy yesterday.
Could not believe it. We thought one team would take
a red card. Did not think that team would be Italy.
They make it all the way to Peks and they
miss two of the first three shots.
Speaker 2: Unbelievable. But Carm's got some stuff going on today.
Speaker 1: He'll be back tomorrow though, guys, in all seriousness, no
worries about that. Today's games Canucks, Avalanche, Blues, Kings and
Ducks taking on the Sharks. Before I bring Brian in,
I will just mention guys, I gotta do it ten
straight in the NHL. We did it ten straight and
number ten was plus one oh five. And I'll tell
you what that was generous because some of you could
have got plus one ten, plus one fifteen, ten straight
winners on the Hurricanes team total over three and a
half goals. Thank you all for joining me yesterday on
a five dollars Tuesday. And we also have a great
deal going right now for the rest of the NHL year,
which you guys can join us on. But Brian, look,
we've got a we've got a day right now where
there's afternoon baseball. There's only a few hockey games. We'll
do our best to dive into these few games, and
then we've got to get ready to you know, finish
off and polish off our handicaps for the rest of
these baseball games.
Speaker 2: Man, how are you.
Speaker 3: I'm doing well. I've already put in my baseball work.
I've got two plays up for clients right now. I
did the show earlier. If you want to go back
and look at total basis, we had a nice show there.
We're all trying to cut back on the time here
into forty five minutes for less, and it takes a
while to get going. But only having three games here helps.
But yeah, I also it's all you always feel good
when you win your two dollars excuse me, your Tuesday
five dollars play. We had Winnipeg yesterday at four percent
on Winnipeg. I had to go to overtime to do it.
I thought it was a better ship than that. But
we got the victory. And it's nice to cash coming
into the Wednesday card.
Speaker 2: It absolutely is.
Speaker 1: And as much as I always say that, it's you know,
it's easier to find a winner sometimes on the big sleeates.
Sometimes when you put in that extra work, we can
try and find something to do with.
Speaker 2: These big slates.
Speaker 1: So, without further ado, Brian, here we are minus four
eighty one Colorado Avalanche and and if I pull up
odds logic here, you just take a look at the number,
the opening number for this one. Like it's not saying
it's disrespectful, because this is about as favorite to win
the Stanley Cup and favorite to win the number one.
Speaker 2: Overall pick as it goes.
Speaker 1: But when I look at this number here, Brian, I
saw some spots even showing a bit higher than this
at some points. But right now I see Circas at
four thirty five, so a bit lower than some spots.
You've got South Point is at four point fifty, and
then of course you got fan Duel at four ninety,
DraftKings four seventy. The thing I find interesting and I
want to pick your brain about these, Brian, You've been
doing this a long time, and just the betting space
overall games like this with money line sports. I know
a lot of it is about you know, maybe Parlay's
liability or.
Speaker 2: Puck lines or all this stuff.
Speaker 1: But how can you explain some books being at four
forty and some being at four seventy and some being
at four ninety. Either way the books think the Avalanche
are going to get their butts kicked.
Speaker 3: Well, the problem you have, like very Vegas for example,
or they for the most part, they don't ban anybody.
They are always concerned about the wise guys. Are not
going to be playing Colorado in this game. They'll be
playing the underdog Vancouver Canucks. And you know, if you
take a look at the recent history on the last
six games they played, Vancouver's won three of those, so
they've played very well against Colorado. Problem is they're not
very good right now. But a lot of the ones
that pump up the numbers for the offshores, those are
the places they ban who is really good at what
they do, and they think you have an advantage. So
they can do that because I know they're not going
to get any buy back from the wise guys because
they've they've kicked out all the wise guys. So the
general public is going to look at this and think
it's free money. And I've done this so long that
anytime it's free money, it's a loser. And I'm not
saying it's going to happen in this game. But every
time I have tried to play like a three dollars
favorite in baseball or something to that effect, and I'm
playing like four games and I figure, oh, that's the winner.
That's the one that usually gives me the most trouble,
So that's why they get you're finding different lines here.
But Colra or excuse me, Vancouver just played Vegas and
Vegas had the new coaching change. I don't think Vegas
played any better in that game than they have been,
but they had the advantage over Vancouver because Vancouver at
this point they have fifty points on the season. The
next verse is sixty eight for the Chicago Blackhawks. The
season is over for Vancouver. If you're a player on Vancouver,
you're just itching to get on vacation. It's been one
of those seasons that you just can't wait for it
to end. Colorado is right now eight points the head
of Dallas, and they've got an additional two games to play,
so they basically got first place in the West locked up.
So that is a concern if you're going to lay
a four to fifty favorite to have a team like
that that has already locked it up and for the
most part, are in the position where they need to
be in. So there's no way I can lay this
number with Colorado. The only advantage of watching the game
is you get to see the Avalanche in Quebec Nordek jerseys,
and when I was growing up in Cleveland, we didn't
have a hockey team. I rooted for Buffalo and I
rooted for Quebec, and so it's nice to see those
jerseys coming back. Rather than that I have no interest
in betting this game.
Speaker 2: Well, Brian, it kind of reminds me.
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people that bet the La
Dodgers were always talking about how when you bet the
Dodgers that when they win, they win by two at least.
Speaker 2: And I am like the farthest thing.
Speaker 1: From a puck line better because, as you know, I
love the team totals because you just worry about one team.
The problem is in this game, you're not gonna get
over three and a half. Over four and a half
is a bad price. You don't want to take over
five and a half in a hockey game. So what's
funny is that you look at the recent games for
this Canucks team. You know, Vegas covers the puck line,
Calgary wins by four, the Kings win by four, The
Ducks cover the puck line, the Blues cover the puck line,
the Lightning cover the puck line. You know, I don't
want to bore you here because we've got baseball games
to watch in two hours here. But the thing is
is that every single team is covering the puck line here.
I know this might sound a bit crazy to say,
but I've noticed the trend where a lot of the time,
when you see a price as wild as this one,
it's almost as if it's a soccer match and you've
got the best team in the world against one of
the worst teams, and the worst team just parks the bus.
It's almost like you don't want to get embarrassed. And
I'll tell you like, I've seen this even I cover
some junior hockey quite a bit, not as much as
I used to, but and in junior hockey, with the
way it works, especially after the trade deadline, there's a
huge separation from the top to the bottom. So you
can see sometimes these bottom tier teams they're almost setting
up the good old fashioned New Jersey devil's trap, like
they're lining up four players on the blue line and
they're saying almost like we don't want to embarrass ourselves.
So with that said, I can't believe I'm doing this,
but I would lean towards the under six and a half.
In this game, you've got Colorado that's been picking their number.
They've been putting up goals left and right. They just
made Calgary look absolutely ridiculous. And you know that, Brian,
we talked about the public being on one side. There's
going to be props, props, props and props on this game,
and everyone's going to have their goal scorers and their parlays.
And I actually hit a same game parlay on puck
time the last time this team played Colorado.
Speaker 2: I don't think I want to do it today.
Speaker 1: So I don't know if it's contrarian necessarily, but I
think I'll take the under here. Let us know, guys
in the comments section or our live shot, how you
play this game, because you know what we have seen
crazier things happen, Brian in the sport of the NHL.
Speaker 3: Well, I do know that Colorado since March twentieth is
the highest scoring team in the NHL, so they are
playing very well offensively. Vancouver, as you mentioned, a team
that might pack it in. What do you think about
the first period? I would think Vancouver in the first period,
maybe the under in that maybe something to take a
look at because if they do fall behind and they do,
just kick it out and you know, just try to
limit the damage that as the game goes on and
Colorado's up, you know, maybe two three nothing, Uh, it
may be a hard time to get to that the
higher goal standard. So what do you think about the
first period in this one? Playing it under.
Speaker 1: I agree with I like that, But again, I think
that I kind of see this game being one of
those ones where let's say Colorado goes up to nothing
in the first period.
Speaker 2: It's one of those things.
Speaker 1: I know it might sound funny, but I'm almost like
playing the angle of Vancouver just doesn't want to get
blown out here.
Speaker 2: So we'll see.
Speaker 1: But to your point, the best once the score is
zero zero at the start of the game, it's to
your point, they're going to try and keep it as
tight as they can. So I do like that point
because you can take the under one and a half
in the first period. Hey, we might as sports better
see minus four hundred. Vancouver doesn't know their minus. They're
they're they're big underdogs. They just know they're playing a
hockey game tonight. So that actually could be a look.
That could be a look as well. I just think
that when it becomes three to one or four to one,
I'm banking on. Like we had a comment here from
Rich saying five to one, and the funny thing is
five to one still hits my under, like Vancouver could
still get so embarrassed, but the under could still win.
So but we'll see what happens. I mean, you're talking
about a team that's given up at least four goals
in five of their last six games.
Speaker 2: It's just pretty embarrassing.
Speaker 1: Canucks have scored eleven goals in their last six games.
All loss is given up twenty nine.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Pretty pretty tough there, Pretty tough there, Brian. We've talked
about it a lot on the show the past past
couple of weeks.
Speaker 2: Uh was of course with the with the NHL playoff race.
Speaker 1: But I'll tell hey, what this this Detroit team, I
just I got to bring this up and hopefully we
don't have Johnny Detroit just absolutely cutting off my feed
right now. But I got to bring this up because
you know, we talk a lot in baseball about fall baseball,
right Like I remember, you know I'm going apple picking
with my girlfriend and you know that's fall or autumn.
We're depending whatever you call it and because it's your
apple picking. And the Blues had Blue Jays had that
big series against the Yankees, and that's when Kirk had
the Grand Slam to win the series or they maybe
swept the series, and it helps you punch your ticket
to the postseason, and so on and so forth. Well,
you could do so well in October in hockey, November, December, January,
but you got to do well in March.
Speaker 2: March is equivalent of fall baseball. Right. Check this out, Brian.
Speaker 1: This doesn't get any worse than this for the Detroit
Red Wings, look at that graphic. In March twenty twenty three,
five nine and one, twenty four three nine and two,
twenty twenty five, four and ten, and twenty twenty six
five seven and two.
Speaker 3: They've only won three games out of their last ten.
Every other team in the East, including the Rangers and
the Panthers and the Maple League are three teams with
the worst record right now, have all had a better
record than that. So they're just a team that, you know,
maybe maybe they're a good regular season team, but you know, sorry, Johnny,
I don't want to see the Red Wings in the playoffs.
They they've clearly shown that they cannot win when the
pressure's on. And despite the thirty nine and thirty five
record on the season, they've been outscored on the year. Yeah,
the Red Wings are not a team that I want
to see in the player. I'd rather see the Flyers,
and their flyers are playing with really good hockey right now,
and they got the same amount of points as Detroit does.
Speaker 2: You're right, and they play the right way. They played defensively.
Speaker 1: I just had to bring this up because you know,
and you know what's funny is that I crapped on
that team all year long, and then when it came
down to it, I said, I think they're going to
make the playoffs.
Speaker 2: And then they just did.
Speaker 1: Because it's almost like when a team does you wrong
for so long, you might as well hop on their bandwagon.
And one of my friends said to me, Brian, he goes, Andrew,
just wait for it. The fall off is coming. The
fall off is coming, and then it finally came for
the Red Wings. You got a question coming at you here,
Brian about the Winnipeg Jets. You know, you catch a
ticket on them before somebody asking you if they're going
to make the playoffs, and I'm just gonna pull up
their schedule here because you know.
Speaker 2: This is a team that's not going away here.
Speaker 3: Yep, there are one point behind the Preds right now.
The Prebs are at seventy seven with the same amount
of games. The King's right behind the seventy six, but
they've got one more game to play, and San Jose's
right there for seventy five or two more games to play.
But the Winnipeg Jets seventy six points, so they're one
point behind it but the same amount of games as Nashville,
and the Jets for a long time were one of
those teams that were just highly outscored on the season.
But they're only down fifteen on the season now and
they've been able to play consistent on the ice home
and the way, not blown anybody away. But you take
a look at Nashville on the road, they've got twenty
two losses on the road this year and only fourteen wins.
That's the same as that's the same as Winnipeg. So yeah,
the Winnipeg Jets right now, they had that one streak
where obviously the goalie was out, and when you've gotten
an elite goalie and he's out. They did not make
any headway during that time. But since then they've been
right back there. And this is a team and we
talked about it all the time. We got certain teams
that are really good in the regular season. Winnipeg has
been one of those teams. Excuse me, Carolina is one
of those teams. But when you get to the playoffs,
they struggle. They've been down this road before and it
wouldn't surprise me if they make the playoffs. They're right
in there. All these seems are so tight right now.
You can go down to Saint Louis, which is like thirteenth,
they're still in it. They're only four points behind. So
this is wide open right here in the West between
They've got three three good teams out here. They've got Colorado,
They've got Dallas and Minnesota. They can compete with anybody
in the East, in fact that they may be better.
At least Dallas and Colorado may be better than anybody
in the East. But in the West, the rest of
the rest of the Western Conference is pretty block you know.
So yeah, they can sneak in there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, After the top couple teams, it's it's just up
to whoever wants it the most. In the last seven
or eight games, six or seven games, it's winding down.
I believe April eighteenth, Brian, that might be the final
day here where we get the playoffs rolling those eighteen
twenty twenty twenty first around that time. So great question
from Lorenzo. Great stuff and Brian. Of course he says
number tenth like smash that like button. Guys, hit the
like button. Shows some love to us here on Palk time.
I think we've had a pretty good week on the
show for you guys.
Speaker 2: I think so.
Speaker 1: So let's try and keep making some money giving more
winners here. Okay, next game up, Brian. Here we have
Saint Louis. This team's well, they're getting some good goaltending,
but they're coming off a game where you know, they
gave up five goals and the rest advantage does not
really work well for them in this one.
Speaker 2: How do you feel about this game?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that lost to San Jose really hurt them, but
I still like I still like the team. You're looking
at the Take a look at the Kings. The Kings
right now and they're saying to seventy six points in
seventy three games, Saint Louis seventy three points and seventy
three games. You would have to think, based on being
in thirteenth right now with just nine games to go.
I hate to say must win games, but you'd have
to think if Saint Louis loses this game and they
don't get a point, this could be their season. So
I expect a really good effort out of Saint Louis.
Ei there six and four in the last ten games,
whereas the Kings are three and seven. In fact, the
Kings right now are on a three and twelve run
at home. They've been really bad at home all year.
They're ten and twenty five at home this season. This
is a situation where I think there's some value here
on the underdog. I prefer Saint Louis here, and I
think the price is pretty advantageous. They played the Kings
twice this year, and I believe both games they lost
in overtime, so they play them very tough. They were
right there for both those games. Now they were both
I believe in Saint Louis. So this one's on the road.
But if you take a look at the Kings, the
Kings have been much better on the road than they've
been at home. This is the one game I do
have some interest in. I may give it out to clients.
I do like Saint Louis in this contest.
Speaker 1: I think when you look at this game, like, well,
let me, I gotta go back to you with this, Brian,
how much do you think the price has to do
with the rest advantage? One team playing Saturday and one
team playing on Monday. Does that factor in that much?
I mean, this time you're in the NHL, it has
to right you would.
Speaker 3: Think so a little bit. And I understand that. But
right now, when you're in the playoff hunt and you
can't take any days off, you're going to get you
would expect to get better efforts every time out, as
opposed to a team that's either locked it up or
is in really good shape, you know, like okay Onheim,
it's the next game on the schedule. They're pretty set
when it comes to the playoffs. But San Jose is
a team that needs to win. And as I said before,
just because you need to win doesn't mean you win.
So the rest of the rest situation means more in
games in which teams do not have to win every
game and that's the situation that we find Saint Louis
and San Jose in at this point.
Speaker 1: Well, we got a comment talking about LA at home,
and I'll tell you what I was looking at it
before the show. You just always find it really comical
when a team is better on the road than they
are at home. And that's the case here this LA
Kings team on home ice minus twenty four goal differential,
on the road a plus one goal differential. They have
given up one hundred and ten goals against at home
this season. They've scored just eighty six at home this season.
Hockey is literally designed to have home ice advantage for
teams because you get the last change. And I talk
so much about that when it comes to the playoffs,
and I know, Brian, you've talked about it before. How
in the playoffs we can get value on the road
team because of that. And the funny thing is, I
feel like that goes into it as well. The books
are giving us value on the road team. And the
home team has been a bad home team all year.
It's like, hey, guys, we're gonna give them a home price,
but they have been awful at home. And I think
Joel Hofer is confirmed. Joel Hofer has been unbelievable. I'll
pull up my numbers here, where is it. Let's take
a look at this. This is just unbelievable. Last three
starts zero point nine to three to two. C percentage
goals against per game one point six to seven. I mean,
you just can't argue this right now. And if I
want to keep on the undertrain, that's probably the way
I would go. But the LA Kings give up so
many goals at home, we might as well just take
Saint Louis here, Brian.
Speaker 2: So I'm on the same page as you are.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's strange. You've got LA's in the second
of seven straight home games and they're not playing elite teams.
They play Saint Louis, they played Nashville, they played Toronto,
Nashville again, Vancouver and the Ematon Oilers, who besides miss
one of their best players, have started to play pretty
good hockey. But you would think that LA is in
great shape right now when it comes to the playoff positioning.
And then they got to play Seattle, Vancouver and Calgary
on the road, so the schedule points to LA having
a really easy time. But they've been so bad at home,
like the Rangers. Do you really want to lay them
as a favorite? I don't. I don't at this point.
I just don't trust the Kings at home, and in
this situation with Saint Louis has at least shown a
lot of heart lately, and yeah, I prefer to Saint
Louis Sie.
Speaker 2: All right, Brian.
Speaker 1: Obviously, the NHL season winding down, but the playoffs are long.
When it comes to playoff hockey, of course, we got
a great deal.
Speaker 2: Going on right now.
Speaker 1: One ninety nine NHL Stanley Cup playoffs, rest of the
regular season for free, no extra cost. The sooner you
buy it, the sooner you'll get more plays of the
regular season. But we all know this package is most
just for the playoffs. So, guys, Brian has been phenomenal,
not just for this year but for years in the NHL.
I'm feeling pretty good as well on the way into
the playoffs. Ten wins in a row in hockey for
me seeing the board pretty well one at ninety nine.
So you got five percent plays for thirty five bucks.
You got series picks, you got future picks, you got
side totals, prop bets or whatever I would say Brian,
this is a pretty good deal considering the playoffs these
days go all the way up until June.
Speaker 2: It feels like, yeah, the playoffs.
Speaker 3: I was just talking on the on the other show
of the Baseball Show, and we were talking about playoffs
in Tokyo. Brandon was asking me about it because he
doesn't handicap hockey, yeah, or really the NBA, and he says,
what do I What do I feel about the playoffs?
The playoffs are great in hockey and NBA. Number one
in the NBA, you know who's going to play, but
number two, all the teams for the most part, every
teams makes the playoffs. And hockey is it's got a shot,
and we see it all the time. We see one
of the teams that is an eighth cig knocking off
on one seed once in a while. You don't see
that very much in the NBA NBA. I like it
because everybody plays when they're supposed to play hockey. You've
got live dogs in hockey all the time. And if
you watch the games and you know how the game
played out, in fact, you take a look at we
use a lot the expected goals, the high danger chances,
things like that. Just a team doesn't. Just because the
team wins does not mean they were the better team
in that game. And so that gives a lot of
people who only play the hockey playoffs because they's it's
what's on and they don't really follow hockey during the
regular season. They will just see, well, who won last game. Oh,
they're the better team. Look at the record, they're the
better team. Hockey is one team. Every night you're gonna
find a team that is a big underdog that can
upset somebody. And that's why I love the playoffs.
Speaker 1: It's just so nice to follow from a game to
game basis. As you mentioned, you can learn something from
one game to the next and whether you want to
back the same team again or go against them.
Speaker 2: One ninety nine.
Speaker 1: Guys, WT dot buzz backslash bl or w buzz backslash
a m looking forward to a great great run in
the NHL. Okay, one more game to get to here, Brian.
Then we can enjoy our afternoons, watch some baseball.
Speaker 2: You know what I like.
Speaker 1: Wednesdays are probably my quietest day, just all the work
that I do, and if you get prepped up for
MLB in time, you can enjoy the games and then
I start prepping for NHL the next day, so it's
kind of nice to have some day baseball. So we
got to finish up the last game on the board
here and are you ready to talk once again about
the San Jose Sharks, because this team, they're not going away.
They're gonna end their season on a fun note. And
some of the work that I do with the Hockey News,
we did a video and I just could not believe
this talking about maclin Celebrainy reaching the one hundred point
mark in his second season. I believe the next closest player, Brian,
on his team, he has fifty five points. That is
incredible what this young man is doing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we thought when Badard came out to Badard was
going to be the team to be the guy that
would do it, and he's gone off to the slow set.
Now he's not a lousy team, but San Jose. San
Jose has been a lousy team, so he's been able
to pump him up. Yeah, you're getting them a slight underdog.
It's I've seen close to pick them in some places.
And San Jose getting that win last time out that
helped because they've lost some games that they really needed
as of late. But very similar to the Kings. San
Jose's in the middle of what three sixth straight home games.
They win the first one, they play Anahon tonight, and
they host Toronto tomorrow, and they play Nashville, Chicago and
the Naton Oilers. So they've been better at home than
they've been on the road. But Anaheim has been much
better at home than they've been on the road. And
I was talking to a guy the other day, I
was out and he's a basketball handicap wh doesn't really
follow hockey very well. And I told him, I said,
what you need to do when you gets to the
hockey playoffs is get rid of all the overtime information.
But three on threes, the shootouts. Look at the Anaheim
Ducks and shootouts eight no, look at San Jose in shootouts,
two in one, shooting one on the season. So you
take away those six wins just from the shootouts, and
anaheimses looses. You know, twelve points puts him at seventy
five right now, and we're looking at San Jose. He's
got seventy five. So why is San Jose the home
underdog here? If I'm playing I'm taking the home underdog
here in San Jose. Anaheim, as I pointed out, they're
at their at eighty seven points, they probably won't catch
Minnesota at ninety four. They are a couple ahead Edmonton,
so and you seven puts them in a good position.
And do games don't mean as much for Anaheim as
they do for San Jose. And Anaheim's got a pretty
easy schedule going forward, so I happen to like the
home the home team in this game.
Speaker 1: It's interesting because for me, I look at that game
and I do think that Anaheim's going to be pissed
off with that game that they lost against Toronto. As
you know, I'm not a huge quotes skuy, but I
will mention them every now and then when it means
something to me. And Leo Carlson forward for the Ducks,
he didn't even mean to come across cocky, I don't think,
but he pretty much said like, hey, I think we
should have beat this Leafs team by three goals and
they lost in overtime, and he said they should have
beat them by three goals, So they're a little bit frustrated.
Goatch did get injured for them, so that could be
a little bit of a problem. The number is a
little bit interesting for me, And you know, the number
seems a little bit weird, the least the way I'm
looking at if if you look at it standings wise
and then you ask yourself why we're getting a pick
them here. It's like, hey, this seems a bit weird
to me, probably enough to keep me off. But if
I were to play this one, I hit one yesterday
on the show, Brian, I'll try and hit one again today.
I like the first period over when pissed off. When
teams are pissed off, I look for goals early unless
they give up, you know, seven or eight goals something ridiculous.
Maybe I'll look for an under But I think Anaheim's
version of being angry is coming out hot, and I
would not be shocked between these two teams to see
goals early on.
Speaker 3: Well, I did have Toronto. I guess Anaheim in their
last game is I think at one sixty five underdog,
so I was very happy with the way they turned out.
I will say that Anaheim in this month, they've won
four out of five on the road, so they are
probably better on the road than they had before. But
they did lose to Edmonton, a team that's in playoff
connection right now, and they beat you know, Vancouver and
cal So. But you know, when they were at home
last time before they played Toronto, they were able to
knock off Buffalo and Buffalo hasn't been the same team since,
so we'll have to see. But I I like this
Enhan team, but I just think with their schedule coming up,
that there's game more games that are more important to them.
And as I say, they got Saint Louis, Calgary, Nashville
and San Jose at home, and Vancouver coming up or
after this game, those are the key games for them.
If they went at home, they're in great shape. If
they split it home, they're in great shape. So San
Jose is the team that needs this victory, and they're
very much like Saint Louis. If they don't get this victory,
season may be over for San Jose. Now, as I said,
just because you're in a must win situation doesn't mean
you're gonna win. Chances are if you're a must win situation,
he must not be very good. But there's a lot
of teams out West that are just not very good right.
Speaker 1: Now, and I'm very interested to see how they the
wild card teams do in the playoffs for the West,
because the wild card teams for the East, Boston Columbus,
whoever it is, they could do good, do well against
Buffalo or Tampa or Caroline or hey, even my Montreal Canadians. Man, man,
how about those halbs six in a row for the
Canadians eight and three their last eleven. I had to
bring that up thirty one minutes in. Brian didn't bring
them up quite yet. But yeah, first period over for me. Maybe, maybe,
just maybe I would be on the other side, but
I think the number is a little bit weird for me,
so it would keep me off. TJ says, good to
know Wednesday is your light day after buying your all.
Speaker 2: Access three day. I know you were with.
Speaker 1: Me the last two days, TJ, and it's my light
day as far as shows are concerned.
Speaker 2: I'll be very clear when I say that Tuesday I
had a show.
Speaker 1: At nine am, at ten am, at eleven am, at
one pm, and.
Speaker 2: At two o'clock.
Speaker 1: So it's just a lot lighter of a workload day
for me for shows is concerned, which probably is better
because it means more time for handicapping. Brian when we
really think about it like that. So with that being said,
I am continuing to look at numbers. I'm a waiting
goaltender confirmation. I am unsure if we are going for
a winner number eleven tonight or not. I am involved
in baseball play. But Brian, look, we've talked a lot
about this, and we're talking a lot about specials. And hey,
if you guys watch the show and you don't buy
the picks, you're not interested in all access packages. All
we ask of you is you hit the like button
and you show some love and show some appreciation.
Speaker 2: But if you are interested, I.
Speaker 1: Won't speak for you, Brian, but I think the best
thing for people to do, especially this time of year,
is to take advantage of this deal right here. Triple
play All Access Baseball Pass, three days, forty nine dollars.
Every single baseball play that we put out, they're going
to get into one package. Nothing worse than you have
a best bet up as well as two two plays.
You go two and one, but you lose the big one.
Everyone thinks you had a bad day. You want people
getting every single play you release, Yeah.
Speaker 3: You definitely do. I've got two plays up in baseball
already may add more as the day goes on. This
is this is a great deal. Three days for forty
nine dollars. I'm number one in the history of wager
talking in MLB that profit as well as NHL and
that profit. I've been pretty consistent overall. But to be
honest with you, it seemed last few years, it seems
I over prepare for the baseball season and it takes
me like a week or two to get going. I've
gotten off to a slow start so far. I split yesterday,
so but I really like the card. I'm not gonna
throw away all the work I've done for the last
three months in baseball. But it's a good time to
join in. If you join in for myself exactly, you
know nothing but nothing but the best of from this way.
You missed, you missed out on some losers, but the
history shows that I'll get you the money as the
season goes on.
Speaker 1: Hey, that was probably the best time to jump in
right now. Then you're just sharpening things up, that's for sure.
Yesterday we did miss on the I'll tell you what.
This is the reason why I love the first fives, Brian,
is because I talked about first five or full game
under with the raise game and first five did well.
Mclenahan played well in his first start back, and of
course the game just goes off in the second half
of the game.
Speaker 2: Had a free play with the Orioles game over.
Speaker 1: But it was the first time of the year where
I bet on my favorite team, and I don't do
it often, but they're a pretty good team, the Blue Jays.
And I also broke a rule that I'm sure you
agree with me on this taking a run line for
a team at home, and I did that and I
was so happy to see them put a few runs
up in the seventh inning. So we hit on Monday,
we hit on Tuesday, and we're hoping you back in
action today. Two plays baseball so far. I'll let you
guys know on Twitter if we get involved with any more.
No same game parlay for me today, no player props,
but I will mention this yesterday plus one forty five
Jason robertson power play points. So we hit a plus
four thirty parlay on Monday and on Tuesday a plus
one forty five. I'm sure people will be complaining in
Brian that it wasn't a plus four hundred yesterday, but
you know that's exactly how it goes. That will do
it for puck time. We'll have Carmine back in action tomorrow.
He's kind of like trey Ya Savage. He was feeling
a little bit sore, so we had to get you know,
get warmed up, go get some physio therapy going. He'll
be back in the lineup, back in the starters role,
hopefully asap. Thanks to Brian for being here, Thanks to
all of you guys for watching. We'll see you next time.
