The under is 4-1 in Ducks last 5 overall. The under is 3-1-1 in Blues last 5 home games. The Ducks are 5-1 in the last 6 meetings in St. Louis and 1-6 in the last 7 meetings. The road team is 14-3 in the last 17 meetings. The favorite is 39-17 in the last 56 meetings.
The Anaheim Ducks are a team I've faded left and right the last couple of seasons and I'm not thrilled about backing them here, but we're getting monster plus money to fade the team on the other side. The St. Louis Blues have lost eight of their last 10 games, they don't win on their home ice and they just lost to these Ducks on Saturday as big favorites. I'm not laying juice with the Blues until they get their act together. In terms of value, I'll take a shot with the Ducks and the big plus money.
Randy’s Pick Anaheim Ducks +222
