The set-up: San Jose took back home ice advantage with its Game 3 victory. The Sharks had to battle tooth and nail and they scored an improbable last second shot to tie the game, before then going on to win 5-4 in OT. It was an uncharacteristic breakdown for the usually stingy Blues and in my opinion, Game 4 sets up as much more of a defensive goaltenders battle. Note that despite the higher-scoring game, St. Louis goaltender Martin Jones is still 10-6 with a 2.89 GAA in the playoffs and for his career he's now 5-4 with a 2.00 GAA vs. the Blues. St. Louis goaltender Jordan Binnington is now 9-7 with a 2.67 GAA in the playoffs.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but San Jose has seen the total go under in 16 of its last 24 after playing to three or more consecutive overs, while St. Louis has seen the total dip under in six of its last eight after playing to three or more consecutive "overs." This number is high, play the under.
