    Analysis

    Western Kentucky comes into this having won three of its last four, and had a bye last week, so it's well-rested. Any time I can catch points in a situation like this in a game that's basically a coin flip, I'll take em.

    Points
    Picked: Oct 27 @ 9:23am

    Analysis

    Julius Randle only scored 10 points against the Pacers on Sunday, but he was limited to 24 minutes because of the lopsided score. Prior to that, he scored 33 and 23 points in his first two games of the season. In those two games, he combined for 31 shot attempts and 19 free throw attempts. His usage rate should remain high with the lack of talent around him on the Nets. There is blowout potential here, but it’s the second game of a back-to-back set for the Celtics, so I think the Nets keep things relatively close long enough for Randle to hit this over.

    Picked: Oct 26 @ 12:21pm

    Analysis

    When Connor Helleybuck makes his NJD debut remains a mystery but what isn't right now is how well the Devils are playing at both ends of the ice. From an expected goals standpoint across all situations and at 5 v 5 this team has been elite. Meanwhile for Dallas the Stars are playing good hockey but often being priced based on reputation above all else. I think there's also a chance that starting goalie Jake Oettinger gets the night off Tuesday but even if he doesn't I still show a sizable edge on the road team here.

    -125
    Money Line
    Picked: Oct 26 @ 9:00pm

    Analysis

    DraftKings. This is a matchup between two hot teams. The Devils have won three straight and five of their last six. Meanwhile, Dallas has won five straight. My issue with New Jersey is that all five of those wins came at home. The Devils have played just three road games this season. They are 1-2 with the lone win coming in OT over Detroit. One of NJ's strengths is that they rank first in shots on goal. The Stars should negate that. Dallas ranks first in SOG allowed, first in goals allowed, and second in penalty-kill percentage. Not only has the defense been strong, but starting goaltender Jake Oettinger has been a wall, sporting a 1.43 GAA. I'll back Dallas -125 for one unit.

    Picked: Oct 27 @ 12:12am

    Analysis

    One team has everything going right, and they're laughing, partying, and bringing in an eventual World Series Championship. The other team, the Rays, is playing like their grandmother just died. The Rays had to sit through Game 3 being 10 runs down for the most grueling hour and a half. Everyone hits on the Brewers. How do you come back from that? I'm sure we're going to get more than one run from the Rays on Tuesday, but if the Brewers keep doing what they're doing, they're going to win.
