7-Unit Play. #021. Take St. Louis +115 over San Jose (Sunday, May 19 at 3:08 p.m.).
**Note the early start time**
Also Note the Doc?s Sports Soccer Run which has now hit a season high total and that is thanks to a 3-0 +$2020 and 11-3 +$3845 run. We are also excited for the start of WNBA next week. Join now and start winning with us!
As per your selection on St. Louis, the Blues bounced back in a big way in Game 4 to even the series. What we like about that win is that they came out from the start of the first period and decided to dominate the game. They didn?t let the blown call in Game 3 affect their mentality and we?ve seen that they can in fact compete and win games in this series. Now they go back to SJ a place I?ve been impressed with how the Sharks play at home, but we believe St. Louis has the momentum on their side along with a healthy roster. Much can be said about how good Erik Karlsson is, but he?s been labouring and his ice time is decreasing on a per period basis it seems. We believe the Blues can find a way to expose that matchup and take advantage of it. We also still believe the Blues have the better goaltending, and as they?ve shown all playoffs, the Blues are a great road team who can get the job done in high-pressure situations. Take the Blues at this juicy price.

2-Unit Play. Take #22 San Jose (-130) over St. Louis (3 p.m., Sunday, May 19)
This series has followed a predictable pattern and both teams have battled back and forth. I think that will continue. I still think San Jose is the better team. And I think they will take some momentum from their strong play at the end of Game 4. I was surprised they couldn?t punch one in and send that game to overtime. But I think that they will come out and play with urgency today.
Carpe diem. Good luck.

5-Unit Play. #22. Take San Jose Sharks -130 over St. Louis Blues (Sunday @ 3pm est) - Early Game.
Let's post a great Hockey Winner Today. We keep rolling today as we are 34-18 for +6288 in the MLB Season. It's been a great 12-3 MLB Run. Note, if you have enjoyed our hardwork for the MLB Season, take a moment and sign up for the rest of the MLB Season and save money and sign up for the WNBA Season which we have won back to back years (PDF's below) and posted +8500 last 2 years. This year we might bust out over +5000 again this year and provide a 1000% ROI again. Per this selection, we roll with the Sharks here today to bounce back after a game 4 loss. As expected Blues came out with an edge and scored within 35 seconds rebounding from that controversial call in game 3. Sharks still had their chances to win the game, as they got eight more shots off and had some clean looks late but couldn't cash. In fact, the Sharks dominated the second period with a 23-8 shot attempt advantage but the puck wouldn't bounce their way. You can take a lot from that heading home, and the Sharks have bounced back with a victory in each of their last six losses. Sharks are 9-1 with a plus - 15 goal differential in odd numbered games these playoffs. Sharks still had their chances to win the game, as they got eight more shots off and had some clean looks late but couldn't cash.

You can take a lot from that heading home, and the Sharks have bounced back with a victory in each of their last six losses. The Sharks have also won nine of their last 13 home games as a favorite. Sharks are dangerous at home averaging 3.9 goals per game at home. Look for the Sharks to take control at home with a fired up home crowd.

4 Unit Play. Take #22 San Jose -130 over St. Louis (3:05p.m., Sunday, May 19 NBC)
Game #5 in the Western Conference heads back to the Shark Tank as the Sharks look to take a 3-2 lead back to St. Louis. Sharks lost 2-1 on Friday night in St. Louis even with outshooting the Blues on their home ice. This afternoon I see the Sharks getting an early goal and putting massive pressure on Blues goalie Binnington and again I see the Sharks winning Game #5. Home team in this series is 7-2 and the Sharks are 6-2 in their last 8 home games.

4-Unit Play. Take #022 San Jose -140 over St. Louis (Sunday, May 19 at 3:00 PM ET)
Take San Jose on the Moneyline as my 4-Unit NHL Smash for Sunday. This pick falls into one of my top NHL systems and San Jose is the superior team in this series but they have run into a hot goalie. San Jose dominated the last game out shooting St. Louis by 8 shots and I expect them to continue to put pressure on Binnington at home here tonight where they have averaged 3.7 goals per game this season. I also expect San Jose to be smarter at home and stay out of the penalty box which also cost them last game. St. Louis has struggled to kill penalties in the playoffs with opponents converting 23.7% against them with the extra man and San Jose's power-play has been solid at home this season converting at 22.9%. St. Louis is just 1-4 in their last 5 games after a win and 7-16 in their last 23 playoff games as an underdog of +110 to +150. San Jose is 4-1 in their last 5 home games against St. Louis and the home team is 7-2 in the last 9 games play between these 2 teams. Play San Jose Moneyline

7-Unit Play: Take 22 Sharks -130 over Blues (3:08 p.m., Sunday, May 19)
I?m backing the San Jose Sharks in game 5 of the WCF on Sunday. Sharks? defenseman Erik Karlsson is listed as questionable and this line has come down a tad at the time of this post. We?re okay with that, at least in this particular game. And unless it?s a goalie, we don?t stray from our side due to an injured key player in the initial game that player misses. It could hurt San Jose if Karlsson misses game 6 too, but they have the talent to make up for his loss for at least one game if he misses today?s action. Remember, this is a Sharks? team that pulled it together when they didn?t have D) Vlasic earlier this postseason. San Jose had plenty of chances in game 4, owning a 30-22 SOG advantage, but were turned aside by Jordan Binnington (we had the Blues). The Sharks haven?t fared well when leading in a series, now 0-6, but when they?ve trailed in a series or been tied, like they are here, their focus has been spot-on. The Sharks are on a 9-3 run as home chalk and they?ve won 6 of 7 has a playoff favorite in a range that includes today?s line. I?m backing the San Jose Sharks on Sunday. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

4 Unit Play. Take #2521 St Louis Blues +120 over San Jose Sharks (3:05 PM, Sunday, May 19, NBC)
The Blues have posted a 4-1 record in their last five games where they played with one day of rest and they have gone an excellent 8-2 in their last ten games where they were listed as an underdog. They have also won five of their last seven games versus a team from the Pacific Division and they are an impressive 6-2 in their last eight road games. Throw in the fact that the Blues are also 19-9 in their last 28 versus a team with a winning record, that they are an impressive 17-8 in their last 25 overall and that we still like Jordan Binnington way more than we like Martin Jones and we're taking the Blues at the small underdog price in a game that our numbers have them winning in San Jose on Sunday afternoon.

6-Unit Play. Take #22 San Jose (-130) over St. Louis (3:00 p.m. Sunday, May. 19)
The San Jose Sharks will look to bounce back after losing a 2-1 battle in St. Louis and regain the edge in the Western Conference Finals. The Blues dominated the first period of game 4 and capitalized on their opportunities. The club went up 2-0 but failed to show that intensity and play in the other two periods. I don?t think San Jose will allow the Blues to play like this on their home ice. Look, San Jose outplayed them in periods 2 and 3 were they outshot the Blues 21 to 12 and dominated the pace of play. This Sharks team plays at a different level at home and I fully anticipate a large total today, especially after only scoring 1 last game. The Sharks are averaging close to 4 goals per game in the SAP Center. Even better this San Jose team is 7-1 in their last 8 games when their opponent allows 2 goals or less in their previous game. Both teams have stollen a win in their opponents back yard but I don?t see this trend continuing in this series. The home team is now 7-2 in the last 9 meetings between the two and the favorite is 5-2 in their last 7. San Jose has the talent to expose this Blues team and I think their style of play flusters this scrappy Blues team. San Jose won 2 of the 3 contests during the regular season and these veterans will be on point today. The Sharks are 6-1 in their last 7 games as a home favorite between -110 and -150. Look for the Sharks defense to be the X factor tonight and the offense to continue producing at a high level. I like San Jose at home! Take the Sharks in game 5!

3 Unit Take #22 San Jose -130 over St. Louis (3:08pm est):
San Jose is my pick to win the Stanley Cup since late in the regular season so getting them here at this price in this game is excellent value. The Sharks are loaded with talent and they know how to step up in big games. I expect them to bring maximum intensity and focus to this huge game today.
Play San Jose.
Thank you and good luck,
