Daily Three 4/13

 Hello,

 Yesterday was not the best day to come out of hiatus, but I am hopeful. The Wild should have won that game, but Jake Allen, who was a sieve in January, has all of a sudden become a brick wall. The Senators held the Bruins to zero shots in the second period but had their own issues scoring. It isn't all bad, the Sharks made a nice comeback and salvaged our night. Anyway, I know tonight will be better, so, let's do it.

MLB
Milwaukee Brewers -110 (11 units wagered, 10 units won) at Cincinnati Reds
Time: 7:10 EST TV: I'm guessing Fox Sports Wisconsin

 Bronson Arroyo made his first Major League appearance since 2014 last Saturday. He gave up 6 runs in 4 innings. Tonight, he is going up against a hot Brewers team that just swept the Blue Jays in Toronto. He will also be pitching in Great American Ballpark, the most hitter friendly park in baseball. I think the Brewers are a good call.

NHL 
Toronto Maple Leafs at Washington Capitals -1.5, +140 (10 units wagered, 14 units won)
Time: 7 EST TV: USA

 Where did you think I was going to here? The storyline is old, the Caps are trying to exorcise some demons and win their first Stanley Cup, let alone get past the Second Round for the first time since 1998. I really do think this is the year for Ovi and the boys. Their first opponent is very similar to the first Ovi-led "Young Guns" in 2008. Led by Auston Matthews, the Leafs have made incredible strides and are way ahead of schedule in their rebuilding project. Although this team will be making noise in the Eastern Conference for years to come, I think they will be taking a back seat to the Caps this year. This Caps team will be just too much for the youngsters from Ontario. So, let's give the Leafs a goal and a half, it shouldn't make a difference tonight.

Calgary Flames at Anaheim Ducks Even, Regulation Time (10 units wagered, 10 units won)
Time: 10:30 TV: NBCSN
 I know the regulation wager did not work out last night, but the Wild seriously outplayed the Blues. Jake Allen was just unbeatable last night. We move on and will go with the Ducks tonight. The Ducks owned the Flames during the regular season series, winning 4 of 5 their meetings, including two wins over the past two weeks. This series will be fun as the recent meetings got very heated and involved many fisticuffs. Anyway, I know the regular season is a different beast, but the Ducks match up very well with this team, and I think it will show tonight in Anaheim. Let's go with the Ducks to win this one without needing extra time.

Yesterday: 1-2
Overall: 114-107-7 (+74 Units)
