Carolina looks to even the Stanley Cup Final at home after Vegas took Game 1 5-4. Road teams own a .532 winning percentage this postseason, and teams winning Game 1 have captured 11 of 14 series. The Hurricanes are -165 favorites against Golden Knights (+138), though opinions differ—SportsLine expert Matt Severance backs Carolina (-160), while the projection model favors Vegas (+139).

Five primetime MLB games offer additional betting options. In Chicago, the Cubs (-136) face Athletics with Shota Imanaga on the mound. Houston's Astros (+1.5 -184) host Pittsburgh after starter Jared Jones struggled in his return. Arizona's Diamondbacks (+1.5 -140) take on the Dodgers without Shohei Ohtani, with the SportsLine model giving the Diamondbacks a 'B' grade on their run line.

New York's Knicks continue their historic run with a 105-95 victory in NBA Finals Game 1. Their 12-game winning streak features a +272 point differential, the largest over any 12-game span in NBA history. The Knicks are favored by 5.5 points in Game 2 Friday, though the SportsLine model gives their spread just a 'C' grade against the Spurs.
