Randy’s Free Pick
The New York Rangers have been road warriors dating back to last season, and it’s the road team that’s dominated this series over the years. The Columbus Blue Jackets just can’t get out of their own way most nights, and their poor win percentage makes them hard to trust against respectable sides. I’ll take the Rangers and the PL for max betting value.
