Competitions included today: NHL — regular season
🏟 Hockey — NHL — Detroit Red Wings vs Seattle Kraken
📌 Bet: Seattle Kraken Moneyline (Best book: Bovada)
📈 Model Probability: 42% (Seattle L5 xGA/60 2.32 edges Detroit's 2.68; away TZ adjustment minimal)
📉 Odds: 2.55
📊 Value Edge: +4% (Tier: A)
💵 Fair Odds: 2.38
✅ Min Acceptable Odds: 2.50
🧠 Reasoning: Kraken's solid L10 form (4-4-2, GSAx/5g +2.1) and Detroit's injury-hit defense (2 key D out) yield EGD -0.12 for 42% upset probability via logistic scaling. Edge from market overreacting to home bias despite Seattle's road SV% .912. Volatility: Yes
📝 Notes: Detroit projected Husso (elite SV% .925); Kraken B2B; venue Little Caesars Arena.
🏟 Hockey — NHL — Toronto Maple Leafs vs St Louis Blues
📌 Bet: St. Louis Blues Moneyline (Best book: BetRivers)
📈 Model Probability: 48% (St Louis L10 CF% 51.8 vs Toronto 49.2; Blues home-like rest after 3-in-4)
📉 Odds: 2.12
📊 Value Edge: +3% (Tier: B)
💵 Fair Odds: 2.08
✅ Min Acceptable Odds: 2.19
🧠 Reasoning: Blues' momentum (L5 win rate 60%) and Leafs' thin forward lineup (captain out) boost EGD to -0.04, supporting 48% visitor win chance with PDO adj +2%. Books undervalue St Louis PK% (85.3% L10) against Toronto's middling PP. Volatility: No
📝 Notes: Toronto projected Woll (projected -3%); no major travel for Blues; venue Scotiabank Arena.
🏟 Hockey — NHL — San Jose Sharks vs Utah Mammoth
📌 Bet: Over 6.5 (Best book: LowVig.ag)
📈 Model Probability: 54% (Combined xG 6.8 L10; high-event matchup HDCF/60 10.5 avg)
📉 Odds: 2.04
📊 Value Edge: +3% (Tier: B)
💵 Fair Odds: 1.85
✅ Min Acceptable Odds: 1.94
🧠 Reasoning: Poisson modeling of elevated xGF totals (San Jose 3.2/away, Utah 3.4/away) and weak PKs (both <82%) projects 54% over probability post-fatigue factors. Value exists as lines undervalue offensive firepower in desert rivalry. Volatility: Yes
📝 Notes: Venue SAP Center; Utah favored but high-scoring trends persist.
🔢 Total: 3 verified picks (ML: 2, Spread: 0, O/U: 1)
