Jet Greaves (Columbus Blue Jackets) Over 23.5 Saves (-120)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The betting rationale for Jet Greaves to make Over 23.5 saves is grounded in his recent performance data and the model's prediction. Greaves' L5 Home Games Saves Average stands at 28.2, which is significantly higher than the line set at 23.5. In addition, his L5 Overall Saves Average is 26.2, again outpacing the betting line. The model's prediction of 26.24 also leans towards the over. From a trends perspective, Greaves has shown strong consistency, hitting the over in 5 of his last 6 home games and 7 of his last 9 games overall. Despite his current hit streak being 0, his overall hit rates are quite solid. Therefore, his recent performance and the model's prediction suggest a strong likelihood of Greaves making more than 23.5 saves in the upcoming match against the Dallas Stars.
