MINTY BETS: This is it. The Stanley Cup Finals is finally upon us. We've got the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Colorado Avalanche facing off. The Lightning have won this thing two years in a row because of their solid defense. Andrei Vasilevskiy has proven to be better than both Kuemper and Francouz in the postseason. But Colorado has that offensive firepower that can get through to anybody.

The Avalanche were the favorites to win this from the very beginning. I was on them. I'm still riding with them. But minus 190 to win this series doesn't sound appealing to me. And I know it doesn't sound appealing to you either.

This is going to be an exciting, hard fought series, but the Avs are going to prove to be too much for the Lightning to handle. My best bet is for the series to end in six games at plus 225.

To recap my pick, I have the series ending in six games at plus 225. However, I also like the Avalanche to win the series in six games. And you can find that at plus 375 on BetMGM.
