                  Ice picks: Today's best NHL bets
                  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                  Edmonton Oilers at Anaheim Ducks (-210, 5.5)

                  For hockey fans in Anaheim, all 10 of them, this is probably the last time they’ll get to see Ducks mainstays like Teemu Selanne and Scott Niedermayer in the home jersey.

                  Anaheim has missed the postseason, finishing no better than tied for 10th in the Western Conference, and will likely implode the current roster, bidding farewell to vets like Selanne and Niedermayer.

                  Those two players, as well as Saku Koivu and the injured Ryan Getzlaf, didn’t even make the trip to St. Louis for Friday’s 6-3 loss to the Blues. That game was the Ducks’ third straight loss heading into the season finale with the Oilers, who are coming off back-to-back wins heading into Saturday’s tilt with the Los Angeles Kings.

                  "I think (Selanne and Neidermayer) both have a lot left in the tank as they've shown over the last couple of weeks," Ducks head coach Randy Carlyle told the media. "As a coach you'd love to see them come back.

                  "I'm not in their shoes and I don't feel the aches and pain they do in the morning and I don't know what they're going through when they wake up in the morning. They have the right to make their own decisions."

                  Depending on the veterans’ motivation for this swan song, the Ducks could fall flat in this emotional matchup. Bettors are getting great value in an Edmonton team trying to save face after a terrible season.

                  Pick: Edmonton


                  Detroit Red Wings at Chicago Blackhawks (N/A)


                  The Chicago Blackhawks can sew up the top spot in the Western Conference with a win over the rival Detroit Red Wings on Sunday.

                  Chicago is currently tied with the San Jose Sharks, each with 111 points in a bid for home-ice advantage through to the conference final. The Sharks face the Phoenix Coyotes in their season finale Saturday and must hope for a Blackhawks loss Sunday with the tie breaker going to wins. As of Saturday, Chicago has 52 wins to San Jose’s 50.

                  The Blackhawks picked up their sixth win in a row and avoided a meeting with the Red Wings in the opening round of the postseason. That’s a big turnaround from the team that stumbled in the middle of March, nearly letting a shot at the West’s best record slip away.

                  "We worked really hard to get out of that hole and we were struggling a little bit," center Jonathan Toews told CBC Sports. "We knew it was still a reality to finish first in the conference, now we've got one game left to accomplish that."

                  Chicago is scoring in bunches during this winning run. It’s averaged more than four goals per game in that span, including scoring five goals in a 5-2 win at Colorado Friday night. The Blackhawks are one of the best home teams in hockey, with a 29-8-1-2 record inside the United Center.

                  Pick: Chicago

                      New York Yankees at Tampa Bay Rays [TBS | 1:40 PM ET]

                      Yankees: New York is coming off a game where they were 4 outs from a no hitter, as they dominated the Rays 10-0. A.J. Burnett will try to follow up with a performance similar to what C.C. Sabathia showed yesterday. If anyone can follow up with a scintillating start against the Rays, it's Burnett. Burnett went 4-0 with a 1.97 ERA in 5 starts against the Rays last year. Also, Burnett is 5-2 with a 2.05 lifetime ERA in 10 career outings at Tropicana Field, including 2 complete games. Derek Jeter and Robinson Cano have tasted success against James Shields, with each batter better than .400 lifetime against Shields. The Yankees are an impressive 9-2 against the American League East with Burnett on the mound. The Yankees are also 4-0 in games Burnett starts with a total between 9 and 10.5 of late.

                      Yankees are 42-17 last 59 vs. American League East.
                      Over is 6-0 last 6 vs. a team with a winning record.

                      Key Injuries - None.

                      PROJECTED SCORE: 6 (Side of the Day)

                      Rays (-120, O/U 9): Tampa Bay is certainly going to have to improve their offense if they are going to be successful this season. Only once this season have the Rays scored more than 4 runs. The Rays bats have been relatively quiet to start the season, and those same bats were downright dismal yesterday as they didn't score a single run. Tampa Bay will need to be on point offensively today, as James Shields hasn't fared very well against the Yankees. Shields is 1-7 with an ERA of 6 lifetime against the Yankees. Tampa Bay has won their past 3 home games started by Shields. The Rays are also 5-2 in their last 7 games as the listed favorite started by Shields. The Rays go on the road for the 1st time this season after concluding their game today.
                      .

                      Rays are 12-3 last 15 vs. American League East.
                      Under is 7-1 last 8 games as a home favorite.

                      Key Injuries - RF Matthew Joyce (elbow) is out.

                      PROJECTED SCORE: 4



                      St. Louis Cardinals at Milwaukee Brewers [ESPN | 8:05 PM ET]

                      Cardinals (-150, O/U 7.5): Anytime Chris Carpenter takes the mound for St. Louis, they are expected to win. Carpenter has been absolutely dominant for quite some time now, as he's easily one of the best pitchers in all of baseball. Carpenter was 17-4 with a 2.24 ERA last year in placing 2nd in the Cy Young voting for the National League. Carpenter hasn't allowed an earned run in his past 17 innings in Milwaukee. St. Louis is already off to a hot start this season, as they are 4-1 this year. The Cardinals have high expectations this year, as they are on the short list of World Series hopefuls. Offensively, the Cardinals start and end with 1B Albert Pujols. Pujols is the most feared batter in the game, and this year is no different. Pujols already has 2 home runs this season while hitting .333. LF Matt Holiday has been even hotter than Pujols, as he also has 2 HR's while batting an impressive .471% this year. The Cardinals are 6-2 in Carpenter's last 8 road starts as the listed favorite.

                      Cardinals are 16-7 last 23 games as a road favorite.
                      Over is 4-0 last 4 games as a road favorite.

                      Key Injuries - None.

                      PROJECTED SCORE: 6 (OVER - Total of the Day)

                      Brewers: Revenge will be front and center on all of the Brewers minds, as they've lost their past 6 home games against St. Louis. The Brewers lost 1-7 yesterday to the Cardinals, to drop their season long record below .500% at 2-3. Milwaukee has been outscored 12 to 5 during this series, mostly due to their anemic offense. The Brewers are only hitting .177 during this series and only .238 for the entire season. The once feared Brewers lineup has been far from that so far this year. Randy Wolf will take the mound trying to reverse some of the mojo favoring the Cardinals. Wolf hasn't beaten the Cardinals since 2007, so he will have his work cut out for him. Wolf won his 1st start this season, but was far from dominant. Wolf has a 5.40 ERA so far this season, and will clearly need to be better to earn his 2nd win in as many starts. The Brewers are 0-5 in their last 5 games as a home underdog of +110 to +150.

                      Brewers are 22-6 last 28 home games vs. a team with a road winning % greater than .600.
                      Over is 6-1 last 7 games a home underdog of +110 to +150.

                      Key Injuries - 3B Matt Gamel (shoulder) is out.

                      PROJECTED SCORE: 3
