pens 5

Las Vegas - Lacing up the skates for the Stanley Cup playoffs and gonna start with the Penguins over the Islanders. In the 'what have you done for me lately' category, Pittsburgh has a YUGE advantage. The Pens have won five of the last six and nine of the last 11 to close the season. The New Yorkers have dropped four of last five and seven of the last 10. The Pittsburglers also have a hefty edge in the season series, winning six of eight. Gimme the Pens for the money.

On the baseball board, like the red hot White Sox with Dylan Cease over the Royals and Brady Singer. If the Sox lost yesterday, bump up the wager. If they won, scale it back a teeny bit.
