Giants vs Dodgers Free Pick March 31, 2018 – Jesse Schule

This is a 5* play on Bayern Munich.

Bayern is still in a class of their own in the Bundesliga, and they will seek a fifth consecutive win over Borrussia Dortmund. They have scored a whopping 67 goals in 23 matches, and no other team in the Bundesliga have scored 50. After a disappointing start, Dortmund is unbeaten in their last five matches in all competitions. They sit in fifth place in the table, 13 points behind first place Bayern. Jadon Sancho and Giovanni Reyna will not be fit to play versus Bayern, making it an uphill battle for Dortmund.

This is an 8* play on Louisville.

Virginia has lost three of their last four overall, and back to back games on the road. The Cavs have struggled to score, averaging just 61.6 points per game over their last five overall. This is reminiscent of the Cavs team that was bounced from the NCAA Tournament by UMBC in one of the biggest upsets in history. Louisville has won nine of 10 home games, and they beat the Cavs at home last season by a score of 80-73. The Cardinals are 9-4-1 ATS in their last 14 home games, while the Cavs have failed to cover in four of their last five on the road. The home team is 5-2-1 ATS in the last eight head to head meetings. I'll take the home dog.

This is an 8* play on Montreal.

The Habs have lost six of their last seven overall, a slump that cost their head coach his job. They earned a point in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Jets on Thursday, and they will be desperate to earn two points in tonight's game. Montreal battled back from an early 2-0 deficit, and they out-shot Winnipeg 36-27 on Thursday night. Winnipeg might be due for a let down after beating the Habs three times in a row. While the Habs don't have an impressive record at home this season, Montreal is still a tough place to play for visiting teams. That's especially true on a Saturday night in a nationally televised game .

This is an 8* play on Vancouver.

The Leafs are comforatably in first place in the North Division, with seven points separating them from second place Winnipeg. A 3-1 loss at Vancouver Thursday isn't going to cause much panic, so it's not like I expect them to come out like gangbusters seeking revenge tonight. For the Canucks, it was just their second win over their last eight games, so it's not as though they can put their feet up and kick back. The Leafs have 18 wins, and seven of those wins came by just one goal. The Canucks are 3-6 in their last nine overall, but they are 6-3 on the puckline in those games.

This is a 5* play on the Predators.

The Panthers won Game 1 of this two game series in Nashville, but I like the Predators as the underdog in a revenge spot in Game 2. The fact that Game 1 was close comes as no surprise, four of the last five head to head meetings have been decided by one goal. It was also the Panthers fourth consecutive one goal game. The Predators have a winning record at home, and in recent seasons they have one of the league's better home records. Don't be surprised if we see another one goal game here in Nashville.
