*200 New York Yankees -172
I am taking the Yankees tonight for the win in Game 1. I have the a Yankees starter CC Sabathia as 14-1 SU as a Home starter and he pitcher more than 109 pitches in his last start. I also have the Yankees as 29-11 SU since 2007 at home when they lost the last time they faced this starting pitcher. Finally, we have the Yankees as 40-10 SU since 2005 as a favorite vs a team that has won at least their last three games. Take the Yankees for the win.
*200 Rutgers +6 (This line has already moved to 6', buy the hook to 7 if you can get it tonight!)
The weather will be cold in new Jersey tonight, and with 15mph wind I predict Dave Wannstedts Panthers to be sloppy in the air, and stopped on the ground. Rutgers should be rested for this game, and Pitt is coming of back to back big East games. Let's look at a couple of trends that favor a Rutgers cover tonight. Rutgers is 13-2-1 ATS as a dog, including 10-0 ATS if they scored 34 or more points in their previous game. Rutgers rush defense is ranked 5th, and only allows 65 yards per game. Pittsburgh is 2-12 ATS as conference road favorites off an ATS loss.
*200 Dallas Stars Over 5.5
I am taking the Stars vs the Bruins over the total tonight. I have the the Bruins going over in 4 of their last 5 games. I also have Stars going Over the total in 5 of their last 6 games. I think both these teams score a lot tonight to drive us over the total.
