Game 6 got ugly, the Bruins pulling away for a 5-1 win. However, I don't see another blowout in Game 7. Binnington and the Blues have been great at bouncing back. Off a 4-2 loss in Game 1, the Blues responded with a win in Game 2. After the 7-2 loss in Game 3, the Blues bounced back with b2b wins. Including those results, they're 23-10 vs. the money-line, their past 33, after having given up four or more goals in their previous game. While I do feel the Blues have a legit chance of winning 'outright,' what I'm really expecting is a very close game, that could go either way. With the Bruins only 4-6 (-4.4) their last 10, when tied in a playoff series, consider laying the price to grab the extra +1.5 goals with the Blues on the puck-line.

Ricky’s 1* free play on the under in Game 7 of the 2018/19 Stanley Cup Final.
Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant.
- World class goaltending. Clearly not many would have predicted that it would be these two teams in the 2018/19 Stanley Cup Final, but here we are. It’s been an unpredictable series to this point, with each side looking great at times and pretty ordinary in others. I had a play on the Bruins in Game 6 and they looked great in that one on both ends of the ice. But neither of these clubs has been very consistent from game to game and in this pivotal contest, I believe that opens the door for these two world class goaltenders. Not many would argue with you if you exclaimed that the only reason the Bruins are here is because of Tuukka Rask and the only reason the Blues are here are because of rookie net minder Jordan Binnington. And in Game 7, I believe these two will indeed “steal the show” and be the main story lines in tomorrow’s summaries (and the numbers/trends support that.)
Key Trends:
- St. Louis has seen the total go under in 12 of 19 this year after scoring one goal or less in its previous contest.
- The Blues have seen the total go under the number in 15 of 24 this season after a loss by two goals or more in their previous game.
- Boston has seen the total go under in 14 of 23 already this season when playing with two days rest.
The verdict: For all the reasons listed above, I think the “under” is worth a second look in Game 7 as well!

My comp play winner for Wednesday comes in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals, as I will play St. Louis and Boston to hold Under the posted total of 5 1/2 goals.
These teams are fresh off a 5-1 Over in Game 6, but that score is a bit misleading, as the game was just 1-0 at the start of the 3rd period of play. That Over marked the 4th time in the 6 games played that the teams landed Over the total. Rather than stick with that trend, look for Jordan Binnington and Tuukka Rask to be on top of their game, and look for the goal-scoring chances to be very limited this Wednesday night in Beantown.
Rask has allowed 2 goals or less in 14 of his last 20 playoff games dating back to the opening round, while Binnington has allowed 2 goals or less in 10 of his last 15 postseason contests.
It's been a great series so far, and I think we are in store for a classic Game 7 showdown tonight. I think we are looking at anywhere from just 3 to 4 total goals in this final game of the 2019 NHL season.
St. Louis and Boston to hold Under the total.
1* ST. LOUIS-BOSTON UNDER

NBA idle until Thursday, so let's make some cash on the diamond in the meantime.
Wednesday night comp play release on the Brewers and the Astros to hold Under the total with Brandon Woodruff and Justin Verlander doing the work.
Last night's meeting saw a whopping 18 combined runs in a game that easily sailed Over the total.
Milwaukee had been Under the total in their previous pair, and are still Under the total in 3 of their last 5 games overall.
Houston's run of 3 in a row Under came to a halt last night, but the pitching matchup tonight suggest another Under is in the cards.
Woodruff has been on the mound for 3 straight starts that have landed Over the total, but he has allowed 3 runs or less to be scored on him in 7 of his last 8 starts, and he has surrendered 2 runs or less in 7 of his last 10 starts overall.
As for Verlander, he continues to remain tough to get any offense generated against, as the veteran righty has allowed 3 runs or less to be scored on him in 12 of his 14 season starts. 5 of his last 6 starts have held Under the total, and 11 of his 14 overall starts this year have played Under the posted price. Verlander also sports a 1.75 ERA at Minute Maid Park for the season.
Pitchers to rule the roost tonight. Milwaukee and Houston combine for maybe 5 total runs if they are lucky.
Brewers-Astros Under.
3* MILWAUKEE-HOUSTON UNDER
