Tax Day Hockey Playoff Pick & Afternoon Baseball


Trying to get my taxes done, so let me spit these out quickly:

NHL

Flyers +150, 0.5 units to win 0.75 units


I actually think Philadelphia is the slightly better team in this matchup - at worst, they're even. However, Philly doesn't have a Sidney Crosby, so we're the beneficiaries of this juicy line in Game 1. Nice.

MLB

A's +102, 1 unit to win 1.02 units

Public loves the Sox as usual, but the line has gone the other way slightly. Wakefield isn't fooling anybody with the knuckleball anymore - although some of the sample sizes (career at-bats) are small, it's clear that the hitters in Oakland's lineup aren't baffled by the knuckler. A pretty close matchup, we'll take the home dog.

A few more baseball picks emerging for tonight, but I'll have to come back later. The IRS awaits....
