While the Kings lost Game 4 by a whisker, they'll be trying to avoid elimination here on Wednesday. I believe that they have what it takes to even come back and win this series, yet alone win just a game. They've been an excellent team all season long and Edmonton didn't really finish the season all that strong. Even though the Oilers have dominated the Kings in the past, this "must-win" game situation should be enough motivation for the Kings to at least keep this game close. The "close-out" game is always the hardest for the team that's in front, so expect a close game in Edmonton on Wednesday evening. 

Score Prediction: 3-2 Kings.

Although Washington have actually looked quite alright to begin the season, I still believe that they are a season or two away from playoff baseball. Let's not forget that these Rangers won the World Series last year as well. Entering today, Texas sits a game back from the Seattle Mariners in the AL West. A win here would really give them a boost, with them having already won consecutive games in a row. Looking at the Nats, they've got a long stretch of IL games ahead. Today's starter, Andrew Heaney (0-3, 6.26 ERA,) hasn't been very strong. However, I'm willing to bet that he'll improve on these bad numbers by the end of the season. Trevor Williams (2-0, 2.70 ERA) has look good, but I'm not buying it. He's off a 5.55 ERA last season and hasn't faced any hot teams yet. The bats of Texas should be awake and well for this game. Grab TEX. 

Score Prediction: 7-3 Rangers.

While the first two games of this series went "under" the total quite easily, I believe that we could be in for a very high scoring game here on Wednesday. Chris Sale (3-1, 3.70 ERA) has been alright. But, he's definitely getting older. He's not what he used to be and the M's should be able to take advantage. On the other hand, Emerson Hancock (3-2, 5.06 ERA) hasn't been anything special to begin the season either. In fact, that ERA proves just that. Atlanta should bounce back today after back to back poor performances. According to some, the Braves have the best lineup in baseball, even compared to the Dodgers. Atlanta is still averaging 5.4 runs per game, which happens to be tied for the MLB lead. I expect more runs in this game to be scored. Play on the "OVER." 

Score Prediction: 7-4 Braves.
