Kraken vs Kings Prediction

When it comes to a moneyline wager, I’m going with the Kings to defeat the Kraken while playing at home. Given the current moneyline odds at -164, I’m placing a wager on the Kings to win outright.

When it comes to my suggested pick for the puck line, I’d advise taking the Kraken to cover. Even in the event of a Kings victory, this matchup is likely to remain closely contested, and the Kraken should cover the puck line.

When considering the over/under line, which is currently at 5.5 goals, we believe that this game will go over that threshold, and we recommend wagering on the over.
