Kraken vs Sharks Prediction

If you’re looking for a moneyline pick, my choice is the Sharks to take down the Kraken at home. With the moneyline currently at +129, I’m placing my bet on the Sharks straight-up.

Our projections have the Sharks pulling out a win as the underdog. But if you’re not as bullish as we are on the Sharks, we’d recommend at least getting a bet down on them to cover the puck line.

With an over/under line sitting at 6 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
