Las Vegas - First the ice. A little expensive but we are jumping all over the Hurricanes to close out the Devils tonight. Carolina has dominated this series, winning 4-1 and 3-1 at home and 5-2 up in New Jersey. The only game the 'Canes lost was a double OT marathon in Jersey. The Devils have been horrible the
last three weeks, losing seven of the last nine, while the Hurricanes had the BEST regular season record at home in the Eastern Conference (31-9-1) and are 2-0 in the opening round. Carolina is on my mind and my wallet.

Now the MLB diamond. Swinging out West for a look at a heavyweight National League West battle between the 3rd place Padres and the 1st place Giants. San Diego will send Nick Pivetta to the hill and after spending five lousy years in Boston (37-41), it looks like he found something in Cali. Could be sunshine? In any case, Pivetta is twirling with a 4-1 record and has allowed only 1 earned run over the last 20 innings (0.45 ERA). Throw in 22 Ks in the last 20 frames and you can see why we're banking on the Padres.
