St. Louis Blues (130)
Sun Apr 6 ‘08 3:05p
Neither the St. Louis Blues nor the Columbus Blue Jackets are going to the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs, but that does not mean value can’t be found in the Blues as a nice underdog in the season finale.

After all, the Blue Jackets have now lost four straight games and seven of their last eight, so frankly, they do not deserve to be this big of a favorite over anyone. They have scored a grand total of 12 goals in their last eight games (1.50 goals per game), lowering they average for the season to a poor 2.30 goals per contest.

The Blues shut out Columbus 5-0 last night in the front end of this home-and-home season ending series, bringing St. Louis to 4-1 in the last five meetings with the Jackets. Furthermore, the last three St. Louis wins in this series have not been close, as prior to last night’s shutout, the previous two wins were by 5-1 and 6-1 counts.

This line looks like an overcompensation for Columbus being home, so take St. Louis at this price.
