NBA Playoffs: Can LeBron James Make Cleveland Cavaliers Champions?

NBA Playoffs: Can LeBron James Make Cleveland Cavaliers Champions?

I’m an an unabashed LeBron James fan. I would like nothing more than to see the prodigal son return home and make the Cleveland Cavaliers NBA champions. I think that they have a few things working in their favor. First, they have the best player in basketball who may one day retire as the greatest to ever play the game. Second, they have a very easy path to the NBA Finals by virtue of playing in the Eastern Conference. If they can get past the Chicago Bulls, I don’t see  ...

NHL Picks: Minnesota Wild at St. Louis Blues Game Two

I apologize, guys. I forgot to post a pick today and it’s a shame because we would have won some money together. We were on the Canadiens, Capitals, and Canucks today and at the time of this writing the Canucks are up 2-0, but obviously that game is far from over. If anything, it’s a sign that it’s a great time to join the VIP Club at www.zcodesystem.com. Our baseball forum is up over five units to start the year while the hockey playoffs continue to be exciting  ...

NHL Playoffs Hockey Picks: Minnesota Wild at St. Louis Blues

I don’t really mind Jake Allen being named the starter tonight, even if he was primarily a backup all season. He posted 22-7-4 record and has been exceptional of late. In fact, I think he gives St. Louis an edge because their platoon has faltered in the playoffs and going with the hot hand is the right strategy here.

On the flip side, Devan Dubnyk has given the Minnesota Wild some stability in net this year. While I have never been impressed with him overall, he’s stood out this season  ...

NHL Playoffs Picks Contest ($100): Washington Capitals at New York Islanders

– Game Three: Sunday, April 20th

I like when our NHL picks contest spills over into the playoffs because Game Three with a favorite going on the road for the first time is the definition of a toss up. I think the Caps are the better team and I’m posting this before we know exactly what kind of desperation will turn this into a contest toss up. Will the Islanders be desperate and fighting for their lives? Will they surprise and take control of the series, forcing the Washington Capitals to fight to regain home ice? The Caps are -140 to win the series, -145 at home to open the series, and the first road game of the series is a perfect chance to test what the Islanders are made of.

MLB Picks: Cincinnati Reds at Chicago Cubs

MLB Picks: Cincinnati Reds at Chicago Cubs – AB Doubler

I like the Chicago Cubs this year. I think they have some dominant pitching at the top of the rotation and they look to have their lineup solidified. I expect them to be much better this season than last year and make the leap to being a competitive franchise.

I don’t like the Reds this season. I expect them to be sellers at the deadline and don’t think they will compete. I don’t think the lineup has enough depth and I don’t think they improved from last season. The rotation is  ...
