Ricky's 1* play on KC.

Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. Here in this game the recent history of these two teams is particularly significant.

- Baltimore is 2-6 SU in its last 8 games.

- Baltimore is 3-7 SU in its last 10 games against Kansas City.

- Baltimore is 2-4 SU in its last 6 games against an opponent in the American League.

Verdict: The value is on the Home favorite.

My selection is on Pittsburgh over Philadelphia at 7 pm et on Wednesday.

We'll fade the Flyers as they return home looking to take a commanding 3-0 series lead against the Penguins on Wednesday. Note that Philadelphia has now won five straight games, putting it in uncharted territory as its previous season-high winning streak lasted only three games (it accomplished that seven times during the regular season including to close it out). The Penguins have now lost five consecutive games. Prior to that, they hadn't lost more than three games in a row going back to December 21st. Of note, both of these teams have played their best hockey on the road this season. The Pens have averaged 3.6 goals per game and outscored the opposition by an average margin of 0.5 goals on the road this season. The Flyers, meanwhile, are a game under .500 at home, where they've been outscored by an average margin of 0.1 goals. The road team has taken four of six matchups between these two since the start of the regular season. I don't expect Pittsburgh to simply roll over in this series. Take Pittsburgh (8*).
