Washington Capitals -1.5 (10 Dimes)
Alex the great has the Capitals stalking a top playoff spot for his squad this year. Curently the Capitals site at 2nd in the Eastern conference right now. Tonight with a win they can get that much closer to the playoffs and sweep the season series vs the Isalanders. Washington’s chance to catch Boston may be a bit slim however they have just a 1 point lead over NJ and they need some key points to hold onto that tonight. With a 27-9-2 record at home we expect a lot from this club tonight. Now back to Alex The Great, he enters this contest following a big game, scoring two goals and adding two assists in a 5-3 win over Tampa Bay on Friday night, giving him 100 points on the season. Ok so we got through some of that, but we better point out one more KEY point. New York would likely be even worse off without points from defenseman Mark Streit, he didn’t even make the trip to Washington with a sore groin. One stat that really stood out to us was NO other Islander has more than 36 points, while Washington has six players with at least that many. Final score 5-2
Milwaukee Brewers (10 Dimes)
Brewers are 18-10 so far in the Cactus League and sitting in 2nd place. Arizona is struggling right now almost dead last at 11-19 for the 2009 spring training year. Ricky weeks has really stepped up this spring training hitting safely in 15 of 16 games. Braun was injured and is sitting at day to day. We don’t expect him to be in the lineup today but that won’t much matter today. Milwaukee has won 11 of their past 13. Arizona is on a 3 game skid right now. Brewers are playing in front of their home crowd and are 11-1 in spring training at home and should continue their winning ways. 10 Dime Winner on Milwaukee Brewers.
