NHL Bet | Blues vs Jets Prediction | Game 7 2025

ASA NHL Betting Prediction: St. Louis Blues +130 vs Winnipeg Jets – 7pm ET(Game 7, May 4, 2025)

The St. Louis Blues are a live underdog to upset the Winnipeg Jets in Game 7 in Winnipeg (+130 moneyline). Despite Connor Hellebuyck’s strong home play (3-0, 2.33 GAA in this series), his playoff struggles (5-11, .860 SV% over three postseasons) and a 4.22 GAA against the Blues is concerning and clearly a trend. Meanwhile, Blues Netminder Jordan Binnington (2.69 GAA, .910 SV% since February) has a proven playoff pedigree, including a 2019 Game 7 road win in Boston. The Blues, led by Robert Thomas (40 points in 26 games), have won 4 of their last 5 as underdogs and boast a battle-tested 2019 Cup core. St. Louis’ ability to exploit Winnipeg’s penalty kill (79.4%) and Hellebuyck’s postseason demons makes them a value bet and live underdog. We would also consider a NHL prediction on the OVER 5.5 goals Blues vs Jets.

PacersvsCavs

ASA’s NBA Playoff Betting Prediction: Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Indiana Pacers Series – Over 5.5 Games (-115)

The 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals pit the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers (68-18) against the No. 4 Indiana Pacers (54-33) in what promises to be a thrilling, high-octane series. With the series tipping off on May 4, 2025, at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, we are eyeing the Over 5.5 games prop at -115 odds as a solid series investment. Here’s why this series is likely to extend to at least six games.

Why the Series Could Go Long

Cleveland’s Dominance Meets Indiana’s Resilience

The Cavaliers have been the class of the NBA, sweeping Miami in the first round with a historic +122 point differential and boasting a league-best half-court offense and defense. Donovan Mitchell (23.8 PPG vs. Miami), Defensive Player of the Year Evan Mobley, and Darius Garland form a star trio, with Jarrett Allen anchoring the paint. Cleveland’s 68-18 record and home-court advantage make them heavy favorites (-480 to advance).

However, the Pacers are no pushovers. Fresh off a 4-1 rout of Milwaukee, Indiana’s high-octane offense (7th in NBA, 117.4 PPG) and improved half-court defense (14th post-2025) make them dangerous. Tyrese Haliburton (17.6 PPG, 11.6 APG) drives their relentless pace, while Pascal Siakam and Myles Turner stretch defenses. Indiana’s 3-1 regular-season edge over Cleveland (albeit with the Cavs resting stars in two games) and their 9-2 playoff record since 2023 show they can hang with elite teams.

Key Matchups Favor a Competitive Series

This series hinges on pace versus precision. Indiana’s transition-heavy attack will test Cleveland’s ability to slow the game, while the Cavs’ half-court dominance challenges Indiana’s bottom-10 half-court defense. Haliburton’s playmaking faces pressure from Garland and Mitchell, but Andrew Nembhard’s defense on Mitchell could keep games close. In the frontcourt, Mobley and Allen must contain Siakam and Turner, whose spacing creates mismatches.

Indiana’s depth—featuring Aaron Nesmith, Bennedict Mathurin, and Obi Toppin—matches Cleveland’s bench, led by Ty Jerome and De’Andre Hunter. Both teams excel in clutch situations (Cavs: 29.8 PPG in 4th; Pacers: 29.3 PPG), suggesting tight contests that could extend the series.

Historical and Betting Trends

The Pacers pushed Cleveland to seven games in their 2018 playoff meeting, and their current streak (19-4 including the playoffs) is a great indicator of just how well this team is playing. Don’t be surprised if Indiana’s steals at least one game in Cleveland and hold serve at home, pushing the series to six or beyond.

Betting Recommendation

Pick: Over 5.5 Games (-115) /

Smaller wager: Exact number of games (6) +270

The Cavaliers are the better team, but Indiana’s offensive firepower, depth, and playoff experience make this a dogfight. Expect the Pacers to snag at least one road win and leverage their 29-11 home record to force a Game 6 or 7. At -115, the Over 5.5 games bet is a smart play for a series that’s closer than the odds suggest.

NHL Betting Prediction: St. Louis Blues vs. Winnipeg Jets – May 2, 2025

In Game 6, the St. Louis Blues are primed to defeat the Winnipeg Jets and force a Game 7. The Blues dominated both home games, outscoring the Jets 12-3, and now face a Jets team missing captain Mark Scheifele, injured in Game 5. Scheifele’s absence (4 goals, 2 assists in playoffs) weakens Winnipeg’s offense. Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington, with a 10-4-1 record, .909 save percentage, and 2.26 GAA over his last 15 starts, has been stellar, allowing just 3 goals on 42 shots in Games 3 and 4. Back the Blues to extend the series.

ASA NHL play on Toronto Maple Leafs -1.5 goals vs. Ottawa Senators – 7pm ET April 29, 2025

The Toronto Maple Leafs host the Ottawa Senators in Game 5 of their 2025 NHL Playoffs first-round series at Scotiabank Arena, leading 3-1.

The Maple Leafs are a strong bet to close out the series tonight at -170 but we don’t want to get involved in that hefty price so we will be the puck line here. Toronto has a 29-13-1 home record this season (.674 winning percentage), with a +0.95 goal differential at home, scoring 3.25 goals per game (7th in the NHL) and allowing 2.30 (8th in the league).

Ottawa, is 18-20-5 on the road (.465 winning percentage), with a -0.42 goal differential, scoring 2.90 goals per game (21st) while allowing 3.32. 

Goaltending favors Toronto, with Anthony Stolarz posting a 2.14 GAA and .926 save percentage in the regular season (34 games), ranking first in save percentage among goalies with 20+ starts. Ottawa’s Linus Ullmark has a .910 save percentage and has struggled in the series, allowing six goals on high-danger chances.

With Ottawa down 3-1, they may pull their goalie late, potentially leading to a multi-goal Toronto win via an empty-netter. Maple Leafs Money Line Puck Line (-1.5, +155). Play on Toronto Maple Leafs -1.5 goals vs. Ottawa Senators – 7pm ET April 29, 2025

NHL bets | Free pick | Lightning vs Panthers Prediction | April 28 2025

Panthers vs. Lightning Betting Prediction – April 28, 2025

Pick: Florida Panthers Moneyline (-140)

The Florida Panthers lead this series 2-1 with the road team winning all three games of this series. We expect that trend to get snapped tonight and like the Panthers at home over the Lightning. Florida’s 27-13-2 home record, 40-28 mark as favorites, and superior performance against winning teams give them the edge. The Panthers 57% winning percentage this season again that win 55% of their games is a great indicator of how this team fared against better competition. The Lightning on the other hand was 15-18  against teams of that same caliber this season. The Panthers have outshot Tampa Bay 74-63 in the series, while Sergei Bobrovsky’s .936 SV% (2.53 GAA) outshines Andrei Vasilevskiy’s .892 SV% (2.67 GAA). Tampa Bay’s 19-23 road record and 7-14 mark as underdogs is also a concern for Lightning fans. Florida’s depth, led by Verhaeghe and Tkachuk, and strong penalty kill make them the play to take a 3-1 series lead.
