Memorial Day begins what is sure to be a memorable Stanley Cup Final, if the hockey experts are to be believed. You see, a year after finding 50 predictions that were evenly split between Vegas and Washington, we were just one St. Louis pick away from doing the same with the 39 picks ready by …

It’s a 108-win team that eliminated two other 100-win teams – including last year’s champion – vs. last year’s runner up, a team that at one point was 10 games under .500 and needed an extra game just to win its division. That’s the 2018 World Series in a nutshell. But it’s so much more …

We really thought we were going to get some variety this year. It’s our sixth year of gathering expert predictions on the NBA Finals and of course that means four of them have been Warriors-Cavaliers. The other two were Spurs-Heat. Needless to say, Rockets-Celtics would have been more interesting, or at least less familiar. Still, …

47 out of 71 expert picks we found like the Los Angeles Dodgers over the Houston Astros in the 2017 World Series. No matter who wins, it’s going to end another drought. Sure, it’s not 108 years like the Chicago Cubs last year, but waiting since 1988 or forever (okay, 1962) is still a long time. …

They won’t this year. Warriors in 5. I went against the grain (when only 8 of 53 “experts” did) and picked the Cavaliers last …

The year hasn’t been kind to NHL coverage in the U.S. ESPN gutted its hockey team (down to six expert predictions after 10 picked last year) and CBS Sports knocked the NHL off of its front page menu and barely has a page at all anymore. But the sport endures. And the playoffs are still …

One streak will stay. One will fall. And most of the expert picks we’ve found say Cubs fans will be happy at the end of the World Series – by an almost 5 to 1 margin (an overwhelming 47-10). Scoreboard Page: Either outcome will be great for one fanbase and just the latest bad bounce …

What a difference a year makes. The NBA Finals teams are the same, but the roles are reversed. Stephen Curry has surpassed LeBron James in hype if not ability. The picks are actually pretty similar, though. 41 of 49 NBA experts we found last year picked the Warriors to win the Finals. This time, 45 …

Of the 42 NHL expert picks we found, 29 of them picked the San Jose Sharks to raise the Stanley Cup. Yes, we’re posting this a day late – let’s blame the Memorial Day weekend – and one Penguins win short. And that makes the landslide of picks all the more compelling, especially those that …
