No reason to pretend I've had a great read on this series as shaky goaltending has been as much my demise as the Buffalo Sabres. That all being said we're currently seeing a runaway freight train in Montreal's favor with the moneyline moving more than I anticipated on the open. I'm personally closer to a true number in this game of -139 and while I do expect Montreal to win they're not worthy of such an aggressive price. Buffalo has defied the odds all season; why not one more time in hostile territory to send us to Game 7?

I have no idea who wins this game to be clear. Anyone who says they do is lying. Thought Montreal had taken control but then laid a home egg in Game 4 only to win Game 5 on the road. Buffalo has a goaltending problem. Again. That's really all this is. And the Habs are home, and I badly want them to advance. Hockey is more interesting with a Canadian team in the Final Four. And I might have to fly to Montreal if it makes the Cup Final. Might be my last chance this lifetime to see a Cup game there. Probably have to trade a kidney for a ticket but have a spare. So if any of you are up yonder, eh ....

Was kinda holding off to see how the Marlins-Rays game paid out but that's still going so will have to just hit the button (looks like Rays gonna lose sadly). We played the Braves on Friday because they crush lefties. They actually didn't do that great against Boston's Connelly Early but they won, and I don't care how they get the result. That facing a second straight one in rookie Payton Tolle only helps in my opinion. The Boston lineup is just bad against Bryce Elder (4-1, 1.81 ERA).

DraftKings. Carlos Rodon is making his second start of the season for the Yankees, after starting the year on the IL. The left-hander threw 78 pitches in his debut, so Aaron Boone likely keeps him to about 90 today (just shy of a regular start). Even with that workload, I like the under for Rodon’s hits allowed prop today. The Mets collectively are hitting .216 against southpaws this season - they’ve only registered a base knock in 19% of their total plate appearances. Rodon is traditionally a low xBA pitcher (.224 and .206 in 2024 and 2025, respectively), but does issue a good amount of walks. I think the under is worth a bet here at plus odds, down to -115.

Red Sox LHP Payton Tolle boasts a 1.99 ERA through four starts, but the team is only 1-3 when he starts. He's given up four unearned runs the last two starts. Bryce Elder has been even better (1.81 ERA in nine starts) and the Braves are 6-3 in those games. These respective offenses rank No. 1 and No. 27 in scoring. Boston is 5-10 as an underdog, Atlanta is 25-9 when favored.

A pleasant surprise for the Houston Astros has been Braden Shewmaker. He is hitting .419 in the month of May, and comes into today’s matchup with a nine game hitting streak. In fact he has went under his combination prop just twice out of eleven starts on the season. I believe he keeps that going, as Degrom has had his issues against the Astros including the last two outings he saw them last September. Take Shewmaker’s total bases/combination line over.

Most of the season stats for the Houston Astros have been a head scratcher, as they are just 18-28 on the year. The one player that still has over rode his team issues has been Yordan Alvarez. He has fourteen home runs on the season, and is hitting .321. Today he gets to see veteran Jacob Degrom who he is 2 for 3 with a home run against in his career. Degrom also has just two walks over his last four starts, so we know Alvarez should avoid walks today. Take his combination line over.

Jarred Kelenic has taken advantage of injuries to get an expanded opportunity for the Chicago White Sox. He has had an extra base hit in two out of his last three games, this includes his first home run of the season yesterday. The White Sox may have had their five game winning streak snapped, but still produced five runs as a team in Friday's loss. Look for the lineup to turn over enough for Kelenic to get four at bats in the seventh spot. Take his total bases/combination line over.

DraftKings. Logan Henderson profiles as one of the top strikeout pitchers amongst starters. In limited big league appearances over two seasons, he’s registered 49 K’s in 38.1 innings, including 16 in 13 innings this season. Built up to about 75 pitches in each of his last two starts, he could be unleashed for 85-90 today. But even if he’s kept at around 75, he should have no issue clearing this line against a weaker Twins lineup. Minnesota has run a 23.8% strikeout rate against righties this season, and almost the exact same rate over the last two weeks (23.7%). The juice is heavy, but I have Henderson at 6.2 Ks - I’d bet this at over 5.5 for a partial unit at +110 or better.
