Kings vs Kraken Prediction

For a moneyline bet, I’m backing the Kraken to secure a victory over the Kings at home. With the moneyline currently set at -106, I’m locking in my bet on the Kraken straight-up.

If you’re looking to get a bet down on this matchup, we foresee the Kraken winning the underdog. However, if you’re not as confident in the Kraken straight-up, we’d still recommend placing a bet on them to cover the puck line.

If you’re looking at the over/under line set at 5.5 goals, our prediction is that this game will exceed that mark, and we strongly advise placing a bet on the over.
