Can the Blues regroup for game 2? Wonder what history has to say about that ? The books are screaming the B's are going to win where they are a juicy -170
Remember I look at site order and ignore win order.
Well......history says the books are almost on the nose here. The home team wins at a 62.7% rate for all rounds and that jumps up to 68.4% for the finals. Now the sample size for the finals is 57 games, not a ton but decent sample size. Where the B's are an average of -170 that means they would have to win at a 62.9% rate to just break even. So if you go by all rounds it's a wash, if you go by just the finals you do get a bit of a value here. But of course no one would play that juice right ??? So if you do like the B's, play them on the -1 or if you are feeling frisky, play them on the PL.
Now let's talk about that total. Some books have hung a 5 for tonight's game. You can get it at 5Dimes for -130, but I don't know of another book that has it that low. Almost an automatic over play for me at 5. I would take over 5 instead of under 5.5
I look for the Blues to open things up a bit more tonight. They have to generate more chances. Although I did like what I saw the first half of the game, but a good bit of that was the B's getting their legs back again.
