Happy Wednesday, sports fans! It's Chris Bengel back in your inbox with your HQ PM Newsletter.
The 2023 NHL Draft goes down on Wednesday night, and much like last week's NBA Draft, it's a foregone conclusion who the top pick will be. Connor Bedard is set to become a member of the Chicago Blackhawks by day's end. Bedard has drawn comparisons to Connor McDavid as the type of player who can completely change the fortunes of a franchise.
The Blackhawks certainly could use a savior. After all, the team traded another former No. 1 pick in the form of Patrick Kane to the Rangers last season. Over the past calendar year, they've made a flurry of trades and acquisitions with Bedard set to come in and potentially become one of the faces of the NHL ... if all goes according to plan.
As far as betting goes this evening, I've got a few MLB plays that I feel strongly about. Let's not waste any time and get to the picks!

The Hot Ticket
Astros at Cardinals, 7:45 p.m. | Watch live: MLB.TV
The Pick: Astros (+105)
Key Trend: The Astros are 15-6 in their last 21 games against a team with a losing record.
It hasn't exactly been a stellar stretch for the defending World Series champion Astros lately. After all, they have dropped eight of their last 11 games while struggling to put runs on the board at times. Still, I'm confident that Houston will get the job done for us in this spot.
The Astros definitely have the advantage when it comes to Wednesday's pitching matchup. Right-hander Cristian Javier will be on the bump, and he's had a great track record throughout the first half of the 2023 season. Javier has been consistent thus far as he's produced a 7-1 record to go along with a 3.25 ERA on the year. The Astros starter has tallied a 5-0 mark and a 1.89 ERA in his past nine starts. Javier did have a rough outing against the Mets in his most recent go, but he's yielded two or fewer runs in six of those nine starts.
Meanwhile, the Cardinals have arguably been one of the most disappointing teams in all of baseball this season. Despite the NL Central race being rather weak, the Cardinals haven't been able to get out of their own way. One of the team's biggest areas of weakness has been their pitching as they own a 4.23 ERA as a team. Veteran starter Miles Mikolas likely won't be any different in this spot as he owns a 11.11 career ERA when facing the Astros. Mikolas has surrendered 13 earned runs over his last three starts, including giving up at least five earned runs in two of those outings.
