blue and gold

Las Vegas - Looks like the Pirates are a much better team than last season, but they're still gonna have problems dealing with Corbin Burnes. Last year, Burnes won the Cy Young with an 11-5 record and a 2.43 ERA. But the stat that really jumped off the page was his walks to strikeouts ratio. He gifted the opposition 34 BBs and posted 234 Ks. Very hard to wrap my head around those STAGGERING numbers, but very easy to throw some cash at Burnes. Brew Crew for the money.

Not too many teams in the NHL doing it better than the Blues down the stretch. St. Louis has ripped off NINE straight wins, and the goal production has been OFF the charts. The Blues have scored 49 goals over the last nine games, which translates to almost FIVE & A HALF GOALS PER GAME! If you're an Over/Under fan, St. Loo has gone HIGH in 12 of the last 15 games. Boston is locked into a playoff spot, but the Bruins have just one win in the last four games. Gimme the Blues for the green!
