Game of the Day: Penguins at Rangers

Pittsburgh Penguins at New York Rangers (+101, 5)

With questioning his postseason performance becoming a rite of spring in some circles, Marc-Andre Fleury has quelled that talk by posting back-to-back shutouts to help the Pittsburgh Penguins seize a 2-1 advantage in its Eastern Conference series versus the New York Rangers. The Metropolitan Division champions look to push the Rangers to the brink of elimination when they visit Madison Square Garden for Game 4 on Wednesday. After recording 22 saves in a 3-0 triumph in Game 2 on Sunday, Fleury turned aside 35 shots the following day to register his franchise-best eighth career postseason shutout.

"I've won a lot of hockey games with Marc-Andre Fleury in net, during the regular season and when our team won a Stanley Cup in 2009," Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said after his team's 2-0 victory in Game 3. "I don't know who the doubters are and when the questions started about his play ... but I can tell you he wins hockey games for us." Traditionally a punchless power play goes a long way toward losing hockey games as well, with New York failing on all 13 opportunities with the man advantage in the series and 34 straight overall.

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, NBCSN, CBC, RDS

LINE HISTORY: Books opened the Rangers anywhere from +101 to -110. The total opened at 5.

INJURY REPORT: Penguins - D Brooks Orpik (Out indefinitely, undisclosed). Rangers - LW Chris Kreider (Out indefinitely, hand).

WHAT BOOKS SAY: "The Pens are coming off back-to-back shutouts and look to go up 3-1 tonight. Sidney Crosby finally snapped his goalless streak in these playoffs which can only mean good things for the Pens. We are seeing good two-way action on this game as our players are not counting out the Rangers just yet." Michael Stewart, CarbonSports.ag.

WHAT SHARPS SAY: "The Penguins have stifled the Rangers over the last two games, outscoring them 5-0 while seizing back control of this series. I'm not about to pronounce them series victors after just three games though. The Rangers were in a miserable 5-in-7 scheduling spot on Monday, but still carried the play for much of the game. I expect them to break through against Marc-Andre Fleury on Wednesday. The Blueshirts have opened as the home underdog in this one, but don't be surprised if roles reverse as puck drop approaches." Covers Expert Sean Murphy.

ABOUT THE PENGUINS: Sidney Crosby tucked the puck past Henrik Lundqvist on Monday, the first time the Pittsburgh captain had done so since helping Canada claim the gold against Sweden at the Sochi Olympics. His country's allegiance notwithstanding, Crosby snapped a 13-game postseason goal-scoring drought and also lightened the load of any undo pressure. "It's nice not having to answer (media questions) about it, to be honest," the Hart Trophy and Ted Lindsay Award finalist said. "It's one game. In the playoffs you have to be able to turn the page quickly. It’s nice to finally score."

ABOUT THE RANGERS: Coach Alain Vigneault took a shot at the league's powers-that-be for putting his club in position to play five games in seven nights, becoming the first team to do so in the postseason since 1989. "We were forced to play a stupid schedule, and I'm real proud of how our guys handled it," Vigneault said. The Rangers could receive a boost from the potential return of Chris Kreider, who has missed the last 19 games following surgery on his left hand. Vigneault said he would talk to the doctors before answering any questions on Kreider's availability.

TRENDS:

* Over is 8-2-1 in the last 11 meetings in New York.
* Penguins are 12-4 in the last 16 meetings.
* Rangers are 11-2 in their last 13 Wednesday games.
* Over is 11-5-1 in Penguins last 17 games playing on 1 days rest.

Pick: Total: 8.0/-115 Under

TRIPLE PERFECT MLB

TOTAL OF THE WEEK


On Wednesday the MLB Inter league totals system is on the under in the Philadelphia at Toronto game. Rotation numbers 973/974 at 7:05 eastern. The inter league venue switch and last nights results put into effect a solid totals system that pertains to the under as these to move from Philly to Toronto. We want to play the under for road dogs off a home favored loss and scored 5 or more runs, vs an opponent that is off a road dog win that scored 5 or more runs. These games have been dead unders with just omen game going over since 2004. The Phillies have gone under all 7 times vs lefties and all 3 times as a road dog from +100 to +125. The Phillies have also stayed under in 4 of 5 on the road off a 1 run home loss. Toronto has stayed under in 4 of 5 at home off a road dog win and scored 5 or more runs. The Pitching has Buehrle who has allowed just 5 earned runs in 22 innings in his last 3 starts vs the Phillies. C. Lee has started to catch fire and has been effective of late with a 1.71 era in his last 3 starts. Based on the systems angles and Pitching indicators we will recommend the under tonight.

AAA’s *Clippers/Thunder* TOTAL BLOCKBUSTER! Perfect In This Series!
Game
Wednesday May 07, 06:35 PM
(711) Los Angeles Clippers
(712) Oklahoma City Thunder
Pick
Under

This is an 8* “TOTAL BLOCKBUSTER” on the “under” between the LA Clippers and the Oklahoma City Thunder. AAA Sports Has: UNDER 213.5 Worst Case Scenario Line: 214.5 As you can see, I jumped on an early line thinking that it would move the other way, however that wasn’t the case. The public was quick to jump on the “over” and you can now get 214.5 or even better. I still like this play at 213.5 as I expect each team to play with a much more concerted effort on the defensive end of the floor after the Game 1 shootout. LA jumped out to a quick start and never looked back in Game 1, pulling away for the 122-105 win. I had the Clippers in that one. I’m having a hard time getting a read on the spread in Game 2 though as I simply can’t see the home side allowing that type of offensive outburst to happen again. Note that the Clippers got eight 3-pointers made by point guard Chris Paul, and that’s a lot, three more than he’s ever made in any NBA game previous. Paul himself knows that type of scoring production is rare: “The next game, I might have 12 points, 10 points, maybe not even that many," he assessed yesterday. "I think I'm one of those people -- whatever it takes to win. I don't care. I'm never going to lead the league in scoring or anything like that. It's just whatever to try to win." In all, LA would hit an unreal 15 of 29 3-point attempts; it also shot 55 percent and committed just nine turnovers. The Thunder know they’re in for a fight, the Clippers are deep and talented: "When Pauls hitting 3s like that, it's tough," OKC forward Nick Collison said on Tuesday. "We can definitely make it more difficult on him than we did (Monday). I think that's where our focus is going to be, is how can we defend better?" I believe this sets up as a natural letdown spot for LA after that near perfect performance in the opener, and when coupled with how aggressive the Thunder will be on the defensive end, I expect this total to ultimately sneak below the posted number once the final horn sounds. Play on the “under”. AAA Sports

NBA

Wednesday, May 7

Washington won five of six playoff games, look like stronger team early in this series; home team won five of last six Wizard-Pacer games- Wiz snapped 10-game skid here in Game 1 (4-6 vs spread in last 10). Indiana is 4-4 in playoffs so far; under is 27-19 in their home games this season. Seven of last eight Wizard games went over total- three of four series games this season stayed under the total. Pacers need production from Hibbert, who hasn't scored in three of last four games. ,

Paul was 8-9 from arc, Clippers were 15-29 in easy Game 1 win where Thunder bench shot just 12-39 from floor (starters were combined -76 in Game 1). Clippers are 2-3 vs OC this season, winning two of three here. Over is 9-3 in last 12 series games. Clippers are 26-18 vs spread on road, 1-4 vs spread in last five, but they covered five of last six games as a dog, Six of last seven Thunder games went over total. Ibaka's nine shots were 3rd-most on OC in Game 1- they need a third scorer ro step up.
