| NHL | (67) Minnesota Wild at (68) Dallas Stars: Moneyline | 9:07pm EDT - Apr 9/2026 |
The PLAY: Dallas Stars -122
When I was a kid, Dallas didn't have a team and Minnesota's team was called the North Stars. Eventually, the North Stars moved to Dallas, dropping the "North" and becoming the Stars. Minnesota went a period without having a team. Their fans didn't forget. When the Wild entered the league, Minnesota players and fans always had some extra energy and motivation when Dallas would come to town. Having not had their team taken, Dallas fans generally didn't feel the same way.
Whether or not it has anything to do with the historic connection, the home team has always tended to do well in this series. That's continued to be the case, as the home team has won five straight meetings, including all three this season. Including their win here in October, the Stars are 34-8-1-6 all-time agains the Wild, at the American Airlines Center. They've been dominant at home again this season; I like their chances of continuing their success here and levelling the season series. *good up to -135

| MLB | (963) Baltimore Orioles at (964) Chicago White Sox: Spread | 2:10pm EDT - Apr 8/2026 |
The PLAY: Chicago White Sox +1.5 (-130) Kyle Bradish (RHP), Sean Burke (RHP) Must Start
I've successfully played on the Orioles in each of the first two games of this series. Both were close, low-scoring Baltimore wins, in chilly Chicago temperatures. The O's won 2-1 and 4-2. The weather is expected to start warming up Wednesday and the Sox bats should do the same. Bradish hasn't been very good in his first two starts. In fact, he's 0-2 with a 6.23 ERA and 1.62 WHIP. On the other hand, Burke has a 3.60 ERA and 1.20 WHIP with 12 K's against only two walk, in 10 innings. In six home innings, he has a stingy 1.50 ERA and 0.67 WHIP. In what could well be another close one, grab the extra +1.5 runs with Chicago.
