LAS VEGAS -- It’s a massive Tuesday in the sports world. Tthe Edmonton Oilers are staring down elimination in a do-or-die Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals — they’ll need a full consistent game to push this series to a Game Seven. While the hockey drama unfolds, we’ve got a full slate of baseball games to dive into throughout the day. Plus, we’ve got a WNBA pick to round out what should be a fun and loaded night of action.
First Pick Edmonton Oilers Moneyline
Rundown: It is win or go home for the Oilers tonight. Florida has been an elite team all playoffs and has looked almost unstoppable at times, but Edmonton has the one thing that they don't; Connor Mc David. Last year when facing elimination, he lifted Edmonton to three straight wins and nearly pulled off a 3-0 comeback. I think Edmonton comes out tonight with a little more energy, added to a sense of desperation and urgency. I believe they steal this one away and force a game seven at home.
Second Pick: San Francisco Giants Moneyline
Rundown: The Giants have been quietly playing solid baseball and come into today’s matchup with the better starter on the mound Robbie Ray. They also face an inconsistent starter for Cleveland in Slade Cecconi who is 1-3 with a 4.26 ERA, which plays well for this game. The bullpen has held up well over the last week, giving them an edge late. They feel like the more dependable side right now.
Third Pick: San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers under 9.5 runs
Rundown: Although both San Diego and Los Angeles have star-studded bats, neither offense has looked explosive lately. The Dodgers especially have struggled against good pitching, and San Diego’s bullpen has been strong. This game has the feel of a close, low-scoring division battle. Under 9.5 feels like the smart play with how both lineups are trending.
Parlay of the Day: New York Liberty Moneyline and Seattle Mariners Moneyline
Rundown: The Liberty continue to dominate with elite guard play and team chemistry, and they’re facing a team they’vealready handled this season. The Mariners are red-hot and have one of the best pitching staffs in baseball, making them a solid play at home. Pairing them up gives strong value without needing either team to cover a spread. It’s a clean, confident parlay that leans on two teams playing their best ball.
