but we got to get Carmine involved. He's got the

five and one last week nineteen and five, the last
four weeks of the six and sixty. Let's go for
a six and o Saturday, guys, and away we go
Anaheim and Edmonton. This is a battle for the Pacific title.
Give me Edmonton money line in this one. Minnesota and
Boston love the way the wild they're playing right now.
I am taking the while to go into Boston and
beat them. Minnesota on the money line. Devil's and Canes
Cain's trying to fend off the Buffalo Sabers for the
number one seed in the Eastern Conference. They'll take care
of the Devils. We're gonna take him in regulation instead.
San josean Columbus. Columbus losers to Montreal last night. They
will get the win in regulation against San Jose, who
is leaking oil at the moment, Seattle and Buffalo, there's
going to be goals in this game. The Sabers will
be on the second of a back to back. Take
over six in that one. And finally the Jets and
aves Avs took care of the Jets the night before,
they'll take care of him again at home. Take the
Abs in regulation. That is your six and sixty.
Speaker 2: Great stuff, KRM, looking ahead to Saturday.
Speaker 1: But you're gonna have fun at the game of the
night tonight, Red Wings and Sabers. Have a good night,
carm we'll see you later, man.
Speaker 3: Thanks guys, take care.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: Great stuff there with Karen, And what a game he's
gonna go to with Johnny and his wife and his
buddy and Carmen's buddy Joe. They're gonna have a fantastic time.
All right, let's bring i Am back in here. We
had to get that out of the way. But he's
got six picks. He's already ahead of us.
Speaker 2: Brian. I don't know about you.
Speaker 1: I have not handicapped the full Saturday slate quite yet,
But how are you doing today?
Speaker 2: Brian?
Speaker 4: I'm doing well. But we've got baseball season. Now, we've
got hockey everything's going on, obviously the Sweet sixteen, big
day in college basketball, So I'm with you. Any if
we can make this shorter, that gives us more time
to search for more winners and other sports. So yeah,
I just wish you'd be more baseball during the day.
Speaker 5: They blew that one today. They got it scheduled against
the tournament and the hockey and everything. At least the
NHL decided, hey, there's only two games today. They're always
going to watch him anyway.
Speaker 1: So yes, absolutely, I was hoping for some day baseball
as well, Brian. I will recap. I hit my LA
over three and a half goals yesterday. I was moving yesterday,
so I sent that out a little bit later. But
we hit it with the empty netreeing pure dominance. But
you know, I love my team totals, so they get
They pulled the goalie with five minutes to go, so
I said, okay, you have to hit this for me.
So six and zero run with hockey, we'll try and
keep that going and one in one baseball day. But
we hit the Mariners over three and a half runs.
And man, the best part about team totals when they work.
Speaker 2: They don't even have to win.
Speaker 1: They do not even have to win the ball game
as long as you get to my lucky number of four. So, Brian,
I hope you had a great day yesterday. I was
complaining to you before the show. My one loss was
a first five innings play where my team didn't allow
one run, but they didn't score one run either, so
that can be a little bit frustrating. But any takeaways
for you in hockey or baseball, We'll go both sports.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Actually I thought I was going to sweep the
board in hockey last night. I had the Kings as
my top play. Also, I had another winner Minnesota, and
I had the under in the Las Vega game and
they tied it up. And of course when it's a
six and a half and you're going to overtime, I
can't get a half of a goal. So when I
lost that one in overtime, baseball didn't go so well.
I went on with three, but two of them are
one percent. Starting off slow in baseball. Just don't want
to get too excited about it and force anything right now. Plus,
as I mentioned, a lot of people right now, what's
all they care about is basketball, college basketball. So I've
got a five percent up in college of basketball today,
So I really excited about today's card.
Speaker 1: Best of luck, Brian, Guys, go grab that play five
percent college basketball from Brian WCT buzz Backslash b L.
Let's let's let's let's do it here, Brian, let's get
right after it here. We've got the game that Carmine
is going to be at and have a fantastic time.
Speaker 2: Red Wings and the Savers.
Speaker 1: Savers awful loss here minus one fifty five overnight number
plus one thirty for the Dogs and this one look real,
real simple.
Speaker 2: We always say must win does not mean will win.
Speaker 1: And the Red Wings, it's funny because look, I was
betting against them for a while throughout the year when
they're winning, and then of course they finally start losing
some games and I'm thinking, are they really going to
miss the playoffs? So there's no hyperbole hyperbole here. This
is pretty much a winner, go home type of game
for the Red Wings and unfortunately for them, it's against Buffalo.
Speaker 2: But we call it a Freaky Friday for a reason. Brian.
Can we see the upset here? Can the Dog win
this game?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 5: Right now, Detroed's sitting in tenth place in the East.
They've got eighty four points and seventy one games, but
the Islanders sit in eighth with three points more with
two more games, so they're right in it. But you're right,
they need to turn it around. They're going three to
five and two the last ten games, losing the last two.
Buffalo's actually lost two straight games, both in overtime, and
they're now tied with Carolina for the lead in the East,
and they played an extra game. So it's an important
game for both these teams. And I'm glad this one
is because the other game on today's card since not
have any postseason aspiratious for either one of those teams.
But you know, you take a look at Detroit, They've
had a really good schedule. They haven't played since Tuesday.
They lost that game too, at home to Ottawa three
to two. In fact, they've lost two straight games. They
lost to Buffalo at home, also on Saturday, but they've
only played one game the last five days. I think
that gives them a pretty solid advantage here against Buffalo. Now,
they do have to go back home and play Philadelphia tomorrow,
but having one game the last four days at this
time of the season, I think is a big advantage
for him. I mentioned Buffalo that big winning streak was snapped.
They've still been great. Lost to Washington on the twelfth
and then come back after that and won four more games.
So then they lost back to back overtime games to
Anaheim on Sunday and then to Boston. Yesterday had yesterday
off or two days ago, excuse me, heady yesterday off.
Now they played Detroit and they have to host the
Craket Now. We've talked about division games, conference games being
more important than any and they do have a really
hot goalie going today for Buffalo. The current line on
this game as we take a look at it here
is is Buffalo anywhere from one forty five to one sixties.
So it's a pretty good spread out there. I think
there might be a little bit of value here on
Detroit you can get and come back at once. Thirty
seven is the best I see out there. Lean to
Detroit here, But to be honest with you, I don't
think I'm gonna get involved with either one of these games.
Speaker 1: I don't think I will either with any official plays, Brian,
but they're worth discussing, worth going over, and you know,
I like what you said there about this Red Wings
team and the goaltending and stuff. Two good goalies out there.
I was just doing a show quickly with good friend
Jeff Dawson, and you know he does a lot of
team totals like me too, and we both bet a
lot of the over three and a half when you
can get even money or better plus money. And one
thing we were both complaining about together. The reason why
I bring this up, Brian, is that last night the
Detroit excuse me, the Ottawa and Pittsburgh game, with about
thirteen fourteen minutes to go in the game, you could
have called it that game was going to go to overtime.
And it's a real problem in the NHL right now.
And I'm sure all the guys in the chat, Colsey, Toby, Titans,
ice X, all these guys would agree with me that
these teams are playing for the one the loser point
as we call it sometimes, right, even if you go
to overtime and you lose, you get that one point.
So partly for that reason, it leads me to the
under in this game. Two goalies that are playing reasonably well,
and people talk about other sports that have things that
need to be fixed. I think it's a problem that
needs to be fixed in the NHL. Brian that when
there's ten minutes to go in a game and it's
two to two, that game is going to finish three
to two in overtime because both teams are gonna get
one point at least.
Speaker 2: Any thoughts on that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think what they should do is just go
to a full overtime and then if it's not decided,
then then do the shootouts or whatever. A full regular overtime,
not not the three on three. As much as I
love the three on three, I loved it when it
came out, but now possession of the puck is so
important it's boring now, it's not like it was earlier.
I agree. It's you take a look at a team
like Vegas. They go to overtime last night. We know
they suck it over time. They're terrible and overtime, terrible
in shootouts, and once again they lose in overtime, and
they shouldn't. You shouldn't be rewarded for losing a game.
I don't care if it's overtime or not. It's Vegas
has got less wins than just about anybody in regulation.
On the season, and yet they're eighty eight percent chance
to make the playoffs because they're not losing in regulation.
So yeah, there's something needs to be changed here.
Speaker 1: You know, because you've got so many teams that accumulate
these points, that are so good at getting to overtime.
And I get it, because I'll be the first one
to tell you, and as a Canadian where they lost
in the Olympics three on three overtime sucks. But you
shouldn't just you know, like we keep joking around about
you can't just hold hands when there's eight minutes to
go and say let's all just shake hands here and
agreed that we're both gonna.
Speaker 2: Get a point.
Speaker 1: It just doesn't make any sense really, So I lean
towards the under Brian says, hey, look, and I agree
with you. If we're gonna play something, let's play the
dog here. And you know it's gonna be Carmine versus
Johnny in this one. And well, I'd rather take cheer
for the guy that's signing my checks and not for
my co hosts, so I'll take on his side in
this one.
Speaker 5: We got to figure out who Rick Alec likes, cause
he's the actual one that does the payroll.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that is true. That is true.
Speaker 1: I think Rick probably remains neutral. We got to figure
out who his teams are. He doesn't want to get involved.
He probably doesn't want to get involved with it.
Speaker 2: So to just two games.
Speaker 1: As we mentioned here, any questions you guys have in
the chat handful of you guys here, feel free to
mention them. But Brian, let's let's keep it going. Brother,
Chicago and New York, short and simple. I said to
you yesterday on the show when I respected your answer
where you said, hey, look, it's a game by game
basis for me with these games. But this is a
perfect example of what I was pretty much asking you about. Like,
I'm on a six and zer run in hockey right now.
Do I want to put that run at risk with
two bozo teams like this that aren't even close to
the playoffs?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: That's the question, because this, to me is the prototypical
Andrew over three and a half spot for New York.
This is a typical spot where I would look at
the Rangers. They're playing a backup goalie, they're getting a
tired Chicago team. You know, they're getting in They're in
bounce back mode, so to speak. Chicago, where are the
numbers here? Let's see Arvid Soderblom expected goals against for
him in the last five games. Get this, Brian five
point four goals expected goals against for him, So he's
giving up three point three goals per game. Expected goals
five point four. I mean, he's supposed to be getting
lit up. And by the way, the last five games,
my advanced numbers tell me Chicago's the worst.
Speaker 2: Defensive team in the league.
Speaker 1: So everything in my soul tells me the Rangers team
totals the play I just don't know if I want
to bet these two teams that are nowhere close to
a playoff spot right now.
Speaker 5: Yeah, if you take a look at the current lines,
you can lay as high as one ninety as Caesars
right now on the Rangers. The New York Rangers at home.
I don't want part of the Rangers at home here.
They're on a great run. They are playing their best
hockey of the season, no doubt. They're being very physical,
which gives them an advantage against the team playing the
second game of back to back, I believe, and they've
been taking a lot of shots on goal, so totally
different than what they had earlier in the season, other
than that game the other day when they had four
shots on goal through the first two periods. But their
team scoring very well right now. They're one of the
best scoring teams in last twenty games or so. And
you like the way they're playing. But I don't want
to lay that number. We've already seen at home. They've
been so bad this year and as good as the
Rangers have been, and you talk about the Chicago defense,
they might not be a very good defensive team, but
they're on a great run on the power kill or
the penalty kill. So you've got one team doing very
well on the power play, one team doing terrible on
the or doing really well on the penalty kill. It
leaves me sitting on the side in this game. And
I don't I think the Rangers are going to win.
I really do. I just don't want to lay that number.
It's just too high for a team that's really struggled
in this building. And you know, even though Chicago played
last night, take a look at the Rangers schedule, this
will be their fifth game or a fourth game of
six days they played. They played Winnipeg, go to overtime.
That's a one goal game. They play Ottawa, lose that
game by a goal, and they play go to Toronto, lose
that game by a goal. So these are all been
really tight, a tested games. Four games and six days.
I'm not laying that number with the Rangers. If I
play anything at all, I lean with Chicago. But luckily
there's other sports today and we don't have to play anything.
Speaker 1: And that is the best part about it. And it
is a busy, busy day in the world of sports. Look,
I have so far just one baseball play, Brian, And
what you said at the beginning of the show is true.
There's more time for us to get to work. Look
from a sales perspective and people visiting the website, it's
nice to get plays and packages up early. We'll try
to do so, but we're also deep in our work.
We're looking at sources, looking at our data, and we're
taking a look at these games. And to your point,
the baseball season is a long season. You want to
take your time. So you got a big five percent,
so I'm sure you're just chomping at the bit for
you might as well just you know, go for a walk,
go out for a beer, go for lunch. You're probably
just waiting for this game to get going, whatever your
game is, But five percent play for Brian, I've looked
at just two games so far. I got to keep
handicapping the Saturday slate for one of the basketball games tomorrow.
I may have a big play, just waiting on consensus numbers.
Speaker 2: But that's about it for me.
Speaker 1: Brian six and oho NHL run pretty excited about that.
Speaker 2: But anything else you want to mention.
Speaker 5: Yeah, continue to win in every sport. Although I did
have a losing day yesterday in baseball, very small. I
had a couple of one percents, and I did have
the Angels in that game, but I had them in
the first half, so two innings later they win. Who
would have known betting this Angel's bullpen actually would have
won a game. In fact, in baseball, we were just
talking on the Baseball Show the other day, and I
know it's Hockey show here, but the teams that nobody,
nobody likes, the Saint Louis Cardinals. A lot of these
bad teams did really well yesterday, except for the White Sox,
which is one of the teams that I use. So yeah,
it's baseball. It's one hundred and sixty two games. You're
going to have wins and losses from bad teams. And
I'm going to have another video up. We did play
the Cleveland Guardians on my video yesterday. I've been putting
out Daily Baseball. That was a nice underdog winner for us.
So we'll have another one of those up in just
a few minutes. And yeah, it's really excited about the
card today. Full NBA card, a really nice NBA card.
I'm still working on that and I do have two
players up in college basketball today and one of them
is the five percent play.
Speaker 1: Look, the three percents are great, the four percents are great,
and we always say the five percents are only one
percent more than a four, but we don't release them
unless we love them. So best of luck to you
with that, Brian, and guys, go check it out WTPUS
backslash bl again. For me, we got that deal going
at wager Talk. I want you guys to know I'm
not just a hockey guy. In the summer. I handicapp
