THE ICEMAN’S 2017 COLLEGE FOOTBALL YEAR IN REVIEW

This is a 2* play on Over.

The Yankees won Game 1 in Baltimore by a score of 2-0, but we expect to see more of slugfest here in Game 2.

Nestor Cortes will toe the slab for the Bronx Bombers, and he's struggled on the road. He's 0-1 with a 7.07 ERA in three starts on the road.

The Orioles hand the ball to Dean Kemer, who has been better on the road than at home. He's 0-1 with an 8.68 ERA in two home starts.

Kremer is 2-3 with a 5.04 ERA in nine career starts versus the Yankees. The wind is blowing out, and the over is 7-3 in the last 10 head to head meetings.

This is a 4* play on BOS.

I had the Bruins in Game 1, and here is what I said before the series started:

"The Bruins have been historically one of the most successful teams in history in the NHL Playoffs. That includes recent history as well as long term. The Leafs on the other hand are notorious for their futility in the playoffs. Boston has owned the Leafs, sweeping the season series and winning seven straight meetings dating back to January of 2023. The most important factor in a playoff series is almost always goaltending, and the Leafs starter Ilya Samsonov has allowed 11 goals on 52 shots in his last two starts. He ranks 38th in the 32 team league with a GAA of 3.18. The Bruins starter Jeremy Swayman ranks in the Top 10 in GAA (2.53) and Top 5 in save percentage (.916). Boston is tougher, better defensively and built for success in the post-season."

This is a 5* play on OVER.

I had the over in Game 2, and here is what I said before the game: 

“Game 1 went way under the total of 231.5, and the opening number for Game 2 was 225.5. That has been bet down even further to 220.5. I think this is an over-correction. While we know scoring is down in the playoffs, and unders have cashed at a phenomenal rate so far, let's not forget who the Pacers are. They led the league in scoring, averaging 123.3 points per game, almost three points per game more than #2 Boston. The ranked second in the league in possessions per game behind the Washington Wizards. Prior to Game 1, the Pacers last game at Milwaukee had a total of 262. Four of five regular season meetings saw totals of 250 or higher. The Pacers had scored 119 or more points in nine straight versus Milwaukee before Game 1.”

I think Game 1 was an anomaly, and we should see high scores in this series moving forward. The Pacers ranked 27th in the NBA in the regular season allowing over 120 points per game. Milwaukee ranked 21st in the NBA allowing over 216 points per game.
