Las Vegas - Ice Ice baabbbeee! Lace up your skates, get your seat on the Zamboni because it's time to kick off the Stanley Cup party. As you know, we have a rematch of last year's Cup with the Edmonton Oilers vs. the Florida Panthers. And if you don't remember, got the game by game for you right here. The series was spectacular, going the full seven games. They opened up in Florida and the Panthers (-$145) bageled the Oilers 3-0. The Over/Under for every game in the Cup was listed at 5.5 goals. In game two, the Panthers (-$125) rocked the Oilers 4-1. In game three, at Edmonton, the Oilers (-$150) lost again to the Panthers 4-3. Then the tide turned. In game four, at Edmonton, the Oilers (-$120) finally beat the Panthers, smoked 'em, 8-1. In game five, back in Florida, the Oilers (+$135) posted a 5-3 win over the Panthers. In game six, back in Edmonton, the Oilers (-$120) picked up their third straight W, beating the Panthers 5-1. In game seven, BEST two words in sports, back in Florida, the Panthers (-$115) squeezed out a 2-1 win and lifted Lord Stanley's Cup. As for the games this season, the Panthers (+$115) flew to Edmonton and slipped past the Oilers 6-5. The Over/Under was 6.0 goals and went high. The second and final regular season game was in Florida and the Panthers (-$140) picked up another W, beating the Oilers 4-3. The Over/Under was 6.5 goals and went high once again. Speaking of totals, the Panthers have gone Over 13 times and Under 5 times so far in the playoffs. The Oilers have gone Over 9 times and Under 6 times with one push. With revenge on the table and six wins in seven playoff games on home ice, gotta buy Oil in game one.

Also a little MLB for you tonight in Cincinnati. The Reds will send Andrew Abbott to the hill and he has been PERFECT! This is Abbott's third season in Cincy and the first two were just average. Double A was 8-6 in 2023 with a 3.87 ERA and 10-10 last year with a 3.72 ERA. Abbott has started nine games this season, is 5-0 and working with a skinny 1.51 ERA. Color me Reds and color my wallet very green.
