Tallet, on the other hand, the jury is still out on as a starter, and this will be a major test for him. Take the Yankees on the road for your baseball betting pick on Thursday.

NHL Odds and Free Picks
Is the wild second round of NHL playoff betting about to get wilder? Maybe, as two tough franchises—the Boston Bruins and Anaheim Ducks—face elimination tonight and don’t want to go quietly. Can the Hurricanes and Red Wings close out their respective series?
Bruins vs Hurricanes odds – Game 6 tonight at
NHL odds: Bruins -115, Hurricanes -105
No matter what the Hurricanes accomplish in Stanley Cup betting, they seem doomed to be sportsbook underdogs—even at home tonight. Zdeno Chara can’t do it all on defense for
Hockey betting pick: Bruins -115
Red Wings vs Ducks odds – Game 6 tonight at
NHL odds: Red Wings -155, Ducks +135
With their season on the line, the Ducks will be the hungrier team tonight, right? Well, not necessarily. The defending champion Red Wings suddenly have a juicy carrot dangling in front of them: the Chicago Blackhawks, who advanced to the Western Conference final Monday night. They Wings would likely relish the chance to battle their old rivals in an epic Original-Six showdown, so they’ll be more motivated than some sportsbook players would expect tonight. The Wings also have a couple of X-factors on their side. First, Johan Franzen is repeating his amazing Stanley Cup odds performance of last year, with 13 points in 10 games and five goals in six games against the Ducks. Second, although neither roster will have jitters—these are the last two Stanley Cup winners—the exception is Jonas Hiller. He’s never faced elimination before and has looked shaky in the last few games.
