The Edmonton Oilers are looking to put a stranglehold on their series with the LA Kings with a win in game four. The Oilers took a 2-1 lead in the series with a 6-1 win in game three. Stuart Skinner will get the start in net once again. In this series, he is 2-1-0 with a 3.31 goals against average and a .890 save percentage. Cam Talbot will get the start in net for the Kings. He is 1-2-0 with a 5.30 goals against average and a .861 save percentage. This is almost a must win for the Kings but Edmonton would also like to put the Kings away as soon as possible. The Oilers defense stepped up last game and I look for them to play well today also. Edmonton takes this one.

The Oakland A's will look to win the series when they take on the Baltimore Orioles in the final game of a three-game set. The A's will go with Paul Blackburn on the mound. He is 2-1 with a 2.03 ERA this season. Baltimore will counter with Albert Suárez. He is 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA. Oakland won the first game of the series in extra innings but were blown out yesterday 7-0. Baltimore has by far the better offense. They rank high in many offensive categories while the A’s rank near the bottom and are 29th in runs scored. The Orioles dominated the A's in 2023, winning six of seven games played. The Orioles have won four of their previous five games at home. Oakland has lost six of their last nine road game and has not scored more than three runs in eight straight. I am taking the Baltimore offense to come through in this one. Play on Baltimore minus 1.5 runs. This is a 3% play
