Game: Philadelphia at Pittsburgh (7:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Philadelphia +150 (moneyline)
The Flyers were never in game one as the Penguins dominated from start to finish, and never had to worry. The fate and resolve of the Flyers will certainly be more apparent in this one. They have lived up to those words on the season, as they have followed-up a horrible loss of three goals or more with an 18-7 mark. They have also followed-up a two goal or less offensive performance with a 19-7 mark. The Penguins have been hot at home, but the last team to take them down in this building was the Flyers, and I expect them to answer the bell for game two. The Flyers get the call here.

AQUEDUCT Race #4 at 2:25 PM Eastern
Top pick: #4 (DONNA'S SANDEE) - Veteran mare returns to the turf and it's the surface she seems to prefer. She raced well over the winter without winning, but that gives her a recency edge here over many others. Has the hedge, some speed, and gets a rider up-grade. The pick.
2nd pick: #5 (Souper Butterfly) - Appears to be racing back into shape off a 2 1/2 month layoff. Bred for the grass ("Alphabet Soup") she finished second last spring at Churchill in a maiden turf contest. Win threat.
3rd pick: #2b (Dance For Fashion) - Veteran is coming off a three month break and has finished "in the money" in 7 of 15 turf starts. Late runner may need one before offering her best.
4th pick: #1 (Wise Pitch) - Recent maiden winner tries winners for the first time and does so stretching out in distance and moving to the turf.
