This is a 6* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION on the St. Louis Blues.

We don't subscribe to any single handicapping methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with ones approach is the best way to secure profits over the longterm. Sometimes we keep it simple, while other times we'll take into account numerous different factors, like motivation, scheduling and significant injuries. Recognizing classic "spot bets" is something we always do as well, IE: the "look ahead" spot, the "let down" spot and the "trap" game. One set of criteria which we always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics.

This particular play is based primarily on strong/relevant ATS statistics:

As note that Anaheim is just 4-8 (-3.2 units) this year against clubs with winning records, while St. Louis is 6-1 (+4.6 units) against teams with losing records.

The bottom line: The Ducks are desperate here, but they're also injured. The Blues have the advantage on both ends of the ice and in the net. The only question here is if St. Louis will "look past" Anaheim or not tonight, and we don't think that will be the case at all. This is the second to last game of a five game home stand for St. Louis and with nothing to "look ahead" too, we expect it to come in focused on the task at hand. And that does indeed make the BLUES well worth the price of admission in this matchup.
