Penguins-Rangers have yet to go under this year

The Pittsburgh Penguins are the top over team in the NHL playoffs through the first round, going 5-1 in their series against the Blue Jackets. Expect more over plays when they battle the New York Rangers.

When the Pens and Rangers meet this season the teams have gone over in four of their five games, the lone push coming in Game 1 of their series. The totals have been close however, averaging 6 goals per game.

The total for Game 2 opened at 5.


United Center home to goals between 'Hawks-Wild

The Chicago Blackhawks are heavily favored to beat the Minnesota Wild leaving little room for bettors to find value, but the total has been trending.

In the last five games at the United Center in Chicago, the teams have an O/U record of 4-0-1 and have averaged 6.6 goals per game. To specify, the Blackhawks have averaged 4.2 gpg and the Wild 2.4 gpg during that span.

The 'Hawks and Wild enter Game 2 of their series with a total of 5.

Wunderdog Sports

BELMONT PARK Race #4 at 2:50 PM Eastern

Top pick: #3 (ADAMS NOTE) (7-2) - He hasn't raced since finishing a pace-chasing fourth when debuting here in a dirt sprint last June. He spent the winter working at Palm Meadows, and trainer Mike Dilger did some fine things at this meet last year. Bred for the grass and it's noted that John Velazquez is signed on.

2nd pick: #9 (Stardom) (4-1) - Useful debut on April 5 at Aqueduct saw him race close up while wide, bid turning for home, and tire to finished third of 11. His connections switch him to the turf and add blinkers. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #11 (Saltine Warrior) (4-1) - Gelding took the winter off and is working sharply for his first since Dec. 18th. Speedy sort was competitive in three of four grass starts in 2013 and returns off the layoff with blinkers on. Must be left in the mix.

4th pick: #8 (Shinnecock Bay) (15-1) - Grey gelding by "Two Punch" has shown good early speed before weakening in a pair of dirt sprints. Freshened up since March 24, he had a solid half-mile drill on April 19 and may factor at long odds.

5th pick: #2 (Stalagmite) (15-1) - Another longshot, he has early speed and ran evenly in a dirt sprint at Aqu. on April 18. That was his first start in eight months, and he should move forward a bit. May grab a share at a big price.
