Seattle Kraken vs. Edmonton Oilers Pick

The decision to pick ‘Over’ for the upcoming Seattle Kraken vs. Edmonton Oilers game is backed by both teams’ recent performances and historical trends. The Oilers have been on an offensive surge, scoring eight goals in their last two games, while the Kraken, despite their struggles, have managed to average 2.50 goals per game. The Oilers’ recent games have seen them exceed the total line, with their last game against the Kraken ending in a 4-1 victory, contributing to the ‘Over’ trend. Furthermore, the historical head-to-head data supports this pick, as four out of the last five encounters between these teams have gone ‘Over’ the total line, indicating a pattern of high-scoring games when these two teams meet on the ice.

Another factor to consider is the defensive challenges both teams face, with the Kraken allowing an average of 3.50 goals per game and the Oilers 3.71. This vulnerability at the back suggests that we could see a repeat of past high-scoring affairs. Although the Kraken’s recent games have leaned towards the ‘Under’, the Oilers’ offensive firepower and the Kraken’s need to bounce back from their losing streak could lead to an open game with plenty of scoring opportunities. Therefore, given the odds, recent trends, and the potential for both teams’ top lines to perform, the ‘Over’ is the right pick for this game.

The Pick: Over 6.5 -125 (DraftKings)
