NHL and MLB Picks Contest Round Two ($100 Prize): Atlanta Braves at Philadelphia Phillies

NHL and MLB Picks Contest ($100 Prize): Round Two – Braves at Phillies

Tuesday, 4/15

The contest is still in the early stages and only one round has passed. I was going to do a hockey round, but we’ll wait for the playoff situation to be settled. Instead, we do another baseball pick. Can the talent of the Atlanta Braves overcome Cliff Lee’s impressive repertoire? In this divisional rivalry, who will win on Tuesday?

As always, simply comment below on the post pinned to the top of our Facebook page to participate. Also, be on the look out for our NHL playoffs predictions. This has been a pure gold money maker for us in years past and we hope it will do the same this year. Cheers.

NHL Picks: New Jersey Devils at Buffalo Sabres

NHL Picks: New Jersey Devils at Buffalo Sabres

This is a heartbreak or hope game for me, so kindly ignore my various and blatant biases in evaluating this game. I think the Devils can make the playoffs. Here’s why:

1. The Columbus Blue Jackets are about to play three top teams. I think they could lose all three. They were sellers at the deadline and this is a deadly stretch in their schedule.

2. The Devils play the Caps later this week. Win and they leap both non-playoff teams to become the top threat to Columbus’ WC 2 spot.

3.  ... 

NHL Picks: LA Kings at Washington Capitals

NHL Picks Contest: LA Kings at Washington Capitals

I think the LA Kings are a good team. They’re inconsistent at times offensively, but they’re deep and they have one of the best defensive groups from top to bottom in the NHL. Part of that is likely because Quick is so solid in net.

The Capitals are volatile and inconsistent and difficult to trust. They’re great when they want to be, or when they’re streaking, but they’re unpredictable. Ovechkin is having a wonderful season, but goaltending issues (even since Halak), lack of depth, and poor defensive play have doomed them this  ...

NHL Picks Contest: Standings Update after Oilers Preds

Not many correct answers as our battle for second place rages on. The Edmonton Oilers knocked off the Preds in this week’s coin flip matchup, and only three of us got it right. The search for our $50 Runner Up continues. Again, Pat, please send us your e-mail so we can pay you your $100 prize and congrats again!

NHL Picks: Boston Bruins and St. Louis Blues Parlay Prediction

NHL Picks: Boston Bruins and St. Louis Blues Parlay Prediction

I don’t usually recommend parlays as part of a successful system. In most cases, they’re not profitable long term. Few experts are able to rely on them successfully (though a few of them work for us at Z-Code). For me, it represents an unnecessary danger and long-term risk that I avoid.

Here, however, with the lines as sharp as they are down the stretch, I think there’s value. I’m on a parlay here that has strong Z-Code support, but limited value by themselves.

I am a little nervous because the Minnesota  ... 

NHL Picks Contest: Predators at Oilers, Battle for $50 Second Place Prize

NHL Picks Contest: Battle for Second Place $50 Prize – Nashville Predators at Edmonton Oilers, Tuesday March 18th.

Neither of these teams have had a good year, but the Oilers are home and the Preds have their goalie back? Who wins this meaningless game? Let’s make it meaningful by having second place’s $50 prize hang in the balance with these two bad teams.  Again, congratulations to Pat O’Reilley for winning the $100 prize for first place.

NHL Picks: LA Kings at Calgary Flames

NHL Picks: LA Kings at Calgary Flames

Calgary isn’t the easiest team in the world when they’re at home. They always seem to be more competitive, and LA is on a back to back. This certainly isn’t the cleanest of match ups between a playoff team and a non-contender, but it still is exactly that.

As they fight for position, this is essentially a must-win game for the Kings. They’re on a huge winning streak and grabbing momentum, and they cannot allow the lowly Flames to snatch any of that away from them. They made a big move at the  ... 

NHL Pick Competition, Round 17: New Jersey Devils at Philadelphia Flyers

NHL Picks Contest, Round 17: New Jersey Devils at Philadelphia Flyers

The Devils are playing some of their best hockey of the year right now, amidst goalie controversy and Kovalchuk nonsense they’ve won three of the first four games out of the break. The Flyers are in position to make the playoffs after surging ahead of the pack, but there are a handful of teams hot on their tails. This is another huge game in a huge rivalry. Who ya got?
