NHL | Apr 24, 2024 Bruins vs Maple Leafs |
Maple Leafs -107 at linepros |
Lost $107.0 |

Normally I don't care to back the Maple Leafs in the Stanley Cup playoffs given their sad postseason history. But this is a good spot for Toronto. The Maple Leafs' confidence is up after they evening the series at 1-1 with a 3-2 victory against the Bruins this past Monday. That victory also snapped an eight-game losing streak to Boston. Now the Maple Leafs are at home. They could get William Nylander back. That would be huge. Nylander, second on the team in goals and points, has missed the first two games because of injury. The Bruins are down a defenseman in their rotation with Andrew Peeke suffering an injury. | ||

MLB | Apr 24, 2024 Brewers vs Pirates |
Brewers +105 at circa |
Won $105 |

Look for the Brewers to get back on track here. Pittsburgh has won the first two games of this series. Milwaukee has stranded 12 baserunners. But I see that changing in a pitching matchup of Bryse Wilson for the Brewers against Josh Fleming. Wilson is pitching well with a 1.00 ERA during his past four outings spanning nine innings. He is 2-0 with a 2.40 ERA in five career outings against the Pirates, his former team. This includes a pair of starts. Fleming hasn't thrown more than three innings in a game this season. So this shapes up as a bullpen game for Pittsburgh. The Pirates have the 10th-highest bullpen ERA. |
