— St. Louis Blues (@StLouisBlues) May 4, 2021

The Ducks upset the Blues this past Monday, but don’t expect Anaheim to make it two in a row. The Ducks haven’t had a great season but for some reason, but they’re making a late-season rally. Last-place Anaheim is 2-2 in their last four, which is better than they’ve fared most of the season. That said, St. Louis has been too consistent this season to drop two in a row – especially against an opponent like Anaheim. Look for the Blues to come out heated as they solidify their playoff standing this Wednesday.

Prediction: Blues 4, Ducks 1

Pick: St. Louis Blues -240

— San Jose Sharks (@SanJoseSharks) May 5, 2021

This Cinco de Mayo, the Sharks are more focused on selling Estrella Jalisco than winning a hockey game. But you can’t blame them after the season they’ve had. San Jose enters on a three-game losing streak and ready to be swept by the Avalanche. Expect Colorado to get the shutout and add them to Wednesday’s parlay. After all, Colorado is scoring 3.52 goals per game and giving up 2.46 to its opponents while San Jose is allotting 3.42 per game and only averaging 2.63 per outing.

Prediction: Avalanche 4, Sharks 0

Pick: Colorado Avalanche -280

— Pirates (@Pirates) May 5, 2021

The San Diego Padres are coming off a 2-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates and will be exacting their revenge this Wednesday. Yu Darvish will get the start for San Diego and will be looking to improve on his 3-1 record as well as his 0.89 WHIP and 2.13 ERA. Opposite him will be right-hander JT Brubaker, who’s 2-2 with a 2.63 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP. The Padres were humbled by Pittsburgh recently, but with Darvish on the mound they should be able to bounce back this Wednesday night.

Prediction: Padres 3, Pirates 1

Pick: San Diego Padres -230

Parma vs Atalanta (Sunday, May 9)

— Atalanta B.C. (@Atalanta_BC) May 4, 2021

This Parma vs Atalanta Italian Serie A match is the one contest that gives me the most confidence on this list. Atalanta ranks near the top of the league, currently 13 points out of first. Parma, on the other hand, ranks penultimate and has lost their last five in a row. Soccer betting fans know this one’s easy to call, making it the perfect addition to this Wednesday’s parlay.

Prediction: Atalanta 3, Parma 0

Pick: Atalanta -400

Parlay: St. Louis Blues -240 and Colorado Avalanche -280 and San Diego Padres -230 and Atalanta -400 at +245
