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

This is a free play on NYI.

The Flyers are a mess, coming into New York as losers of seven in a row. The Islanders have won three of their last four, and unlike Philly they still have reason for some optimism. The Flyers have lost five in a row versus the Isles, and they are 2-7 in the last nine meetings in New York. The Islanders have won five straight as a favorite, and they are 42-20 in their last 62 games as a home favorite. Isles netminder Semyon Varlamov has allowed just three goals in his last three starts.

This is a 5* play on Chicago.

The Hawks have won four straight, keeping their playoff hopes alive. The Kraken on the other hand have lost nine straight, and trade rumors are buzzing about their veteran talent. The Kraken rank 31st in the NHL in goals against, while Chicago is riding a hot goalie. Marc Andre Fleury has won eight of his last 10 starts. This game appears to be a mismatch, but that isn't reflected in the betting line. I'll take the visitors.

This is a 10* play on Under.

The Sun Devils host Utah Monday, and historically these teams have been involved in high scoring games. They have gone over in five straight head to head meetings, but a dark cloud hangs over both these teams at the moment. Arizona State has struggled without Marcus Bagley, ranking 391st nationally scoring just 62.6 points per game. They come into tonight's game averaging just 59.4 points per game in their last five overall. Utah hasn't been much better, averaging 67 points per game in their last five overall. The Sun Devils have gone under in five straight overall, and the under is 10-1 in their last 11 home games. They shot just 33 percent from the field in a home loss to Colorado in their last game, and they rank last in the PAC12 with a FG percentage of .385 on the season.

This is a 5* play on LAR.

The Cardinals come into the playoffs losing four of their last five regular season games, while the Rams won five of their final fsix games. LA stacked the roster, going "All In" for the Super Bowl. The addition of Odell Backham Jr. has paid dividends, the former Cleveland Brown has scored five TDs in eight games since joining the team. That's five more than he had in six games in Cleveland. The Cardinals are a bit banged up, with James Connor dealing with sore ribs and Chase Edmonds sitting out the season finale with a rib injury. The biggest loss is DeAndre Hopkins, who hasn't played since mid December. The Rams have home field, more weapons, and they played better football down the stretch.
