NHL Playoffs Predictions: Canadiens, Rangers, Wild, and Ducks

NHL Playoffs Predictions: Habs, Ducks, Rangers, Wild in Second Round Let’s take a look at our bracket. We got the entire Eastern Conference right, and we’ve made profit on the first round of the NHL Playoffs again. We got five of the eight and missed the Minnesota Wild taking out the Blues and the Calgary Flames taking out the Canucks. Honestly, if Shea Weber doesn’t go down I think the Nashville Predators had a great chance at knocking off the Chicago Blackhawks. All in all, not a bad round. Our Finals picks are still alive, and we were low confidence on a couple of those losses. We won money in the first round, and now, with a better grasp of the NHL playoffs field, we look to build on it. Here’s my picks for the NHL Playoffs second round where I’ve got the New York Rangers, Montreal Canadiens, Anaheim Ducks, and Minnesota Wild advancing.

MLB Picks and Predictions 2015: Z-Code Expert Forums, Another Successful Start

MLB Picks and Predictions: Z-Code MLB Expert Forum Update I don’t have any picks today. I don’t like any of the NBA Playoffs games. I see no value whatsoever in Game Seven between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Detroit Red Wings. Following four wins in a row, I think we’ve extracted all we can from the current baseball series. It’s rare, this time of year, but I have no predictions for you today.

Instead, what I would like to do is bring your attention to our progress so farwith my baseball forum. As I say all the time, because I  ... 

MLB Picks: St. Louis Cardinals vs Philadelphia Phillies

MLB Picks: Philadelphia Phillies at St. Louis Cardinals, ABC Progression The St. Louis Cardinals were dealt a tough blow when Adam Wainwright went down for the year, and I think it had something to do with their lackluster performance in Game One of this four-game series. With strong pitching advantages and the lowly Philadelphia Phillies coming to St. Louis, I see a huge advantage warranting a progression.

The computer agrees, lending 4.5 stars of value to this -200 line and a strong signal for the heavy favorite.

The Cardinals are reliable, and at home it’s hard to imagine one of  ...

MLB Picks: David Price, Detroit Tigers at Minnesota Twins

MLB Picks: Detroit Tigers at Minnesota Twins I don’t usually challenge the computer on a flat bat situation, but we’re going to go forward with this play despite the minimal signal from the computer and the apparent underdog value in the line.

First, I believe in David Price. I think a power pitcher in this situation is going to have a field day. The Minnesota Twins don’t hit and they certainly don’t hit shutdown pitching. The Detroit Tigers have won a couple in a row and are starting to surge. I see the Twins playing better baseball, but this is the class of the AL Central division and I think even the home field edge will not be enough to overcome David Price and the mighty Detroit Tigers.

Second, this fits my system. I certainly prefer situations where I can press a statistical advantage and use progressions, but I do not like the way pitching shakes out the rest of  ... 

NHL Playoffs Picks Contest ($100): Anaheim Ducks at Calgary Flames Game Three

NHL Playoffs Picks Contest ($100 Prize): Anaheim Ducks at Calgary Flames Game Three

Like I said in the last edition of our playoffs picks contest, I loe the third game of a series. Will the favorite be on their heels? Will the home underdog fight to stay alive? As momentum shifts and matchups shape up, intensity rises as these games mean everything. The Anaheim Ducks cruised to victory of the Jets while the Calgary Flames simply outplayed the Canucks. When they face one another in the second round, who will Game Three in Calgary?
