First Pick: L.A. Dodgers Moneyline
Rundown: The Dodgers (3-0) will remain at Dodger Stadium for a three-game faceoff against the Cleveland Guardians (2-2).
L.A. made a statement last week with their newest additions in Edwin Díaz and Kyle Tucker immediately making their presence known. Díaz logged back-to-back saves against Arizona, issuing only one walk while notching two strikeouts throughout two appearances. Tucker scored three runs on two hits and drove in Friday’s game-winning run. Returners Andy Pages and Will Smith also contributed with the former hitting a three-run blast in the fifth inning of Thursday’s opener that ultimately gave L.A. the win.
Meanwhile, Cleveland comes off an even two-game split against Seattle. Cleveland suffered an 8-0 shutout loss yesterday as their lineup combined for a mere two hits. However, rookie Chase DeLauter has made a splash with back-to-back home runs on Thursday. Star third baseman José Ramírez is another key player to watch, having already tallied two hits and three RBI on the season.
With the Dodgers running efficiently on all cylinders, bettors can expect them to sustain their early momentum.
Second Pick: Under 6.5 Goals
Rundown: The Anaheim Ducks (41-28-4) return to Honda Center for a matchup against the Toronto Maple Leafs (31-30-13).
The Ducks enter Monday’s contest after having a four-game win streak snapped by Edmonton on Saturday, 4-2. Left winger Cutter Gauthier and right winger Beckett Sennecke scored both goals while goalie Lukas Dostal had a decent 30-save performance at the net. However, their efforts were not enough against a squad led by stars Connor McDavid and Evan Bouchard.
Toronto will look to pull the upset and shake up the league standings after a 5-1 loss to St. Louis on Saturday. Other than a goal by defenseman Jake McCabe late in the third period, the Leafs’ offense struggled against a Blues team that has already beaten them twice this season. However, William Nylander and center John Tavares will look to continue stepping up following the Leafs’ loss of Auston Matthews to a season-ending injury. The pair have averaged a combined 128 goals and 51 points thus far.
Ultimately, expect a hungry and highly talented Anaheim to capitalize on a key opportunity against a slightly above average squad with less than 10 games remaining.
