    Analysis

    I am not one of those people who just auto-bets Paul Skenes or the Miz (I will address him this week in the newsletter when he starts next) or Tarik Skubal or Shohei (pitcher version) but see now we are getting value because Skenes is winless in a career-high five straight games. I would venture to guess that the lookahead lines -- those don't exist in MLB but I have trading experience so a general idea -- would be about -250 a couple of weeks ago. I feel like this is an overreaction number.

    Analysis

    In the rubber match of this weekend series, I'll take the Mariners to win it led by starting pitcher Emerson Hancock, who has surrendered two or less earned runs in 7 of his last 8 starts. Meanwhile, Washington starter Miles Mikolas is 1-5 with a 5.90 ERA this season, including a 7.94 ERA at home. I won't overthink it and will the ride with the road team, who I still believe has a good chance to represent the American League in the World Series come October.

    Analysis

    Very fair price on Carolina's Nikolaj Ehlers considering he has back-to-back three-point games -- although I will say potential elimination games tend to be lower-scoring. I'm a bit surprised that Vegas coach John Tortorella is sticking with struggling Carter Hart in net, but Torts is known to be quite stubborn. Unfortunately, I don't see any sides or totals in our system that I like much as I'd prefer to play something on one in perhaps the last hockey until October. If this were Monday, I'd probably do the same parlay I did for Game 5 at CBS Sports betting site: Knights +2.5 and Carolina Over 2.5 goals -- that's priced +109 at BetRivers. Hoping for a Game 7 ...
