This line is really not giving the Ducks much respect. They have taken care of business at home in this series and now have a chance to close it out here in front of the home fans. Edmonton just doesn’t seem like a real contender this year and we think their playoffs end here. The Ducks failed in their first attempt to close things out in Edmonton but lucky for them they get another crack at it tonight and home ice will make the difference.

Minnesota is a very good defensive team and they will circle the wagons here in Game 6 at home and leave it all on the floor defensively. We expect them to keep this one close. It’s either going to be a blowout by Denver or a low-scoring, close game, and we don’t see any scenario where the Wolves go toe to toe with Denver offensively. Both games in Minnesota went under and we expect more of the same here tonight as the Wolves give one last gasp on their season.

7-Unit Play. Take #962 Under 9 in Houston @ Baltimore -105 (12:35p.m., Thursday, April 30 MLB.tv) Game 1 of the Double Header, play this as action I think both of these veteran pitchers are better than what their numbers would indicate. Always been a Chris Bassitt fan and feel he will pitch to the ballpark today and the deep left field stands. He should pitch better at home and give us a quality start in this game. It is a double header, so expect some key pieces to rest in both games and thus the offenses will not be as strong in either game. Peter Lambert got Colorado for much of his career and he is coming off a solid start last time out throwing 6 shutout innings on 4/22 against Cleveland.

3 Unit Play. Take #959 Arizona +105 over Milwaukee (1:40p.m., Thursday, April 30 MLB.tv) The Brewers just do not have a strong MLB lineup with all of their injuries. When they face a good pitcher, I believe they will struggle to slug. Michael Soroka is on the mound on Thursday, and the Snakes are 4-1 in his starts (should be 5-0). He has thrown at least 5 innings in all of his starts this season and I expect him to give us a quality start on Thursday. Brandon Woodruff has given up runs in all of his starts this season and this Arizona lineup getting to him at some point in this game. Soroka is finally healthy and his stats have been much better in 2026, and I look for that to continue on Thursday.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports
