Cubs -136

STL is 1-6 last 7 and haven’t hit LHP very well all yr and with Imanaga being a lefty and is 2-1 2.84 vs STL I will take the CUBS hoping they will start to turn it around after beating Skenes

Guardians -120

An opener and a struggling Brayan Bello does not bode well for Boston.

Hurricanes -1.5. This series has been over. The last couple of games have been a complete domination by the Hurricanes and I expect them to close it out with a big win at home tonight.

MLB

TB -170

Tampa Bay has a huge edge on the mound tonight with Nick Martinez carrying a sparkling 1.51 ERA and 4-1 record into the matchup, while Walbert Ureña has pitched well but still brings more traffic concerns and a much less proven track record against a lineup as disciplined as the Rays. The Angels come in off a nice stretch, but Tampa remains one of the best teams in baseball at 34-19 and is returning home after a rough road swing where several losses came by a single run. The Rays also own the deeper bullpen and a significant edge in overall run prevention, which becomes even more important in a game projected to be low scoring. With the better starter, better roster, and home field advantage, Tampa is in a strong position to bounce back and take care of business tonight.

Playoffs Record: Hurricanes Goalie: Frederik Andersen (11-1, .928 SV%, 1.44 GAA)

Philadelphia Phillies +100
Phillies starter Wheeler has been great since returning from injury with a 1.67 ERA
Phillies have won four of their last five games
Phillies play well on the road with a 15-11 as visitors
Phillies are 20-8 since Don Mattingly took over as coach

Carolina Hurricanes -1.5 (+120)

This entire series has felt lopsided. The Hurricanes winning on the road was no surprise since I don't think they have lost away from home all playoffs. This feels like a formality and tune up to get ready for the Knights. The Canadiens may just take this one on the chin.
