This is a 10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK on the UNDER between the Washignton Capitals and the Pittsburgh Penguins.
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 on a few different factors:
As note that Washington has seen the total go UNDER the number in ten of its last 15 in the second round of the playoffs, while Pittsburgh has seen the total go UNDER the number in three of its last four after a loss by two goals or more.
The bottom line: This has been a back-and-forth series, but we were impressed at how good Capitals' goaltender Braden Holtby looked in Game 5. His veteran experience paid off big time as Washington was down 2-0 early. Holtby though wouldn't allow another goal after that and the Capitals were able to gut out the victory in the end. Pittsburgh has also been getting above average netminding from veteran Marc-Andre Fleury. We're expecting a hard-hitting, tightly-checked and lower-scoring Game 6. Play the UNDER.
