The ice heats up
May 29, 2008
Game 4 of the Stanley Cup finals is Saturday night, with the Detroit Red Wings going in as 2-1 series leaders.
After winning the first two ganes at home, the Wings were heavily backed to take out the series and are still -400 favorites at Sportsbook.com. (1/4 or 1.25)
In game 4 though, they are slight underdogs, giving away a +1.5 goal head start or paying -105 on the money line. (19/20 or 1.95)
Betting on under 5 total goals scored is payng out +110 (11/10 or 2.10) at Sportsbook.com and seeing as there hasn't been more than 5 goals scored in any of the three games, it's probably a good bet.
The Penguins are 9-0 this post season at the Mellon Arena home. In game three they were outshot 34-24 by the Wings, but somehow managed to hang on for the 3-2 win.
You can't argue with a 9-0 home record, or the oddsmakers who are tipping the Penguins. So we're also tipping the Penguins in another game with 5 goals or less scored.
The puck will be sliding Saturday night at 8pm US ET.
