Sports bettors have prime wagering opportunities Thursday with two NHL playoff games and an MLB matchup. BetMGM bonus code CBSSPORTS offers new users up to $1,500 in bonus bets if their first wager loses. The SportsLine Projection Model has identified value in the Canadiens (+102) over Sabres, Ducks (-108) over Golden Knights, and Red Sox (-104) against Phillies.

Montreal looks to continue its strong road success, carrying a 10-3 mark in its last 13 road games including a 3-1 playoff record in Tampa Bay. Anaheim hopes to extend its season despite facing elimination, leveraging its 24 home wins (third-most in the West) against Vegas's 19-22 road record.

The Red Sox counter Phillies' Jesús Luzardo (5.77 ERA) with Ranger Suarez, who hasn't allowed a run in four of his last five starts. A three-game parlay of these picks would return +678 odds. The model projects Montreal to win 56% of simulations, Anaheim 54%, and Boston 61%, creating value across all three matchups.
