Friday June 21 Best Sports Betting Picks & Predictions For Stanley Cup Finals Game 6, MLB, WNBA

With the NBA season in the books and a chance for the Stanley Cup Final to wrap up tonight, you’re going to have to start getting a little bit creative with your bet slip. 

Soon, baseball and the WNBA will be keeping the lights on at sportsbooks, but we’ve still got you covered.

Here are three picks to end the work week:

Florida Panthers at Edmonton Oilers. Game 6

Edmonton wouldn’t be playing hockey right now if it weren’t for Connor McDavid.

After dropping the first three games of the finals, the Oilers have come roaring back, pulling within 3-2 as they head back home for Game 6. McDavid has put together back-to-back four-point performances, going for one goal and three assists in Game 4 before collecting two goals and two helpers three nights later.

It was a historic feat for McDavid, as he is the only player in NHL history to post consecutive four-point games in a championship series.

And with Edmonton once again facing elimination, we’re going to ride the hot hand. Get ready for Game 7, folks.

Connor McDavid, anytime goal-scorer, +145 (DraftKings)

Washington Nationals at Colorado Rockies

A pitcher's duel will likely be the last thing we see when Colorado right-hander Dakota Hudson and Washington lefty DJ Herz go head-to-head in Denver on Friday.

Hudson has had to learn just how hitter-friendly Coors Field is the hard way. Currently in his first season with the Rockies, Hudson has gone 0-4 with a 7.16 ERA at home, giving up at least four runs in four of his seven starts in front of the Colorado faithful.

The jury is still out on Herz, a rookie who will be making his fourth big-league start. He did just put together the best outing of his young career, striking out 13 while allowing just one hit across six scoreless innings against the Miami Marlins last Saturday, but we’re not ready to say he’s an ace just yet.

With the Rockies averaging 4.8 runs per game in Denver this season, the Nationals should have no problem keeping up in what is bound to be a high-scoring affair.

Over 11 runs, -115 (DraftKings)

Indiana Fever at the Atlanta Dream

Caitlin Clark is finally starting to find her footing at the next level.

Over her past five games, Clark has averaged 17.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, 5.8 assists, and 1.8 steals. She is shooting 47.4 percent from the field and 40.5 percent from 3-point range during that stretch, one in which Indiana has gone 4-1.

Meanwhile, Atlanta has been taking one step forward and two steps back over the past three weeks. The Dream followed a 78-74 victory over the Las Vegas Aces on May 31 with two losses, then beat the Chicago Sky on June 8.

But the cycle repeated itself, with Atlanta dropping two more games after sinking the Sky.

And now, there is yet another chance for that trend to stay alive. The Dream ended their latest skid with a victory over the Los Angeles Sparks last Sunday, only to fall to the Minnesota Lynx on Wednesday. If all stays to plan, loss No. 2 of the pattern is inbound, and it’s set to come against Clark’s fever.

Fever: -2.5 spread, -108 (DraftKings)
