NHL Playoffs Monday: Dietel goes with his gut when picking Blues v Stars
Best Bet
STARS over Blues (-120)
Next Best Bet
Stars to cover the spread (-1.5) (+250)
The Skinny
Tonight we have to go with our gut and bet with the Stars. The covered the spread on the road this past Saturday against the Blues and we think home ice advantage will help put them over the top. Their all star forwards Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin should have themselves a game tonight playing in front of their fans. We wouldn’t be surprised if the Stars run away with this one to be honest – so we will double down on our bets as well. Stars by a dozen.
