As for the Hurricanes, they are 12-1 this postseason, with their only loss coming in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Final against the Montreal Canadiens. The Habs had no answers after that, though, with the Canes winning Games 2-5 to take the series.

Two of the top teams in the American League kick off a three-game set in the Bronx on Tuesday with the New York Yankees hosting the Cleveland Guardians. The Guards have taken control of the AL Central and lead the Chicago White Sox, who just lost their star player in Munetaka Murakami for roughly a month, by 1.5 games. The Yankees trail the Tampa Bay Rays by a single game in the AL East, but they have the second-best record in the American League entering Tuesday. It's a battle of young breakout starting pitchers with southpaw Joey Cantillo (4-2, 3.57 ERA) starting for Cleveland against New York right-hander Cam Schlittler (7-2, 1.50 ERA), who's the early favorite for AL Cy Young. The model is all-in on the Yankees on Tuesday, with New York winning in a whopping 74% of simulations. Click here to bet on NHL, MLB and more by signing up for BetMGM with the bonus code CBSSPORTS:
