The St. Louis Blues and Minnesota Wild are set to face-off in Game 4 of their playoff series on Sunday afternoon.

The Blues got off to a 1-0 series lead, but has since been outscored by a combined 11-3 over the last two games and are now down 2-1 heading into Game 4. Today's game is an almost must-win for them in order to avoid going back to Minnesota with the series on life support.

Here are the odds via WynnBET for today's game.

Wild vs. Blues Prediction and Pick

I felt heading into this series that the Wild were the far superior team, and I've been proven right through the first three games. I see no reason to not bet on them for a fourth time on Sunday.

The Blues biggest strength heading into the postseason was their shooting percentage, but the Wild have done a great job of limiting their high-danger scoring opportunities. They're only averaging 9.67 high danger scoring chances per game, which is the second fewest amongst all playoff teams.

It also helps that the Wild have been getting some stellar goaltending from Marc-Andre Fleury, who has a save percentage of .926 through the first three games.

I won't hesitate to back the Wild again at their current price.

Pick: Wild -115
