Jesper Wallstedt (Minnesota Wild) Over 23.5 Saves (-125)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

Based on Jesper Wallstedt's last 5 home games, the data suggests a likelihood for this bet on 'Player Total Saves' to go 'Over' the line of 23.5. Wallstedt has been averaging 35.2 saves at home, significantly above the line set by the bookmaker. This strong performance at home is supported by his current hit streak of 6 home games. Additionally, the model predicts Wallstedt to make 26.9 saves in the upcoming game, further reinforcing the rationale for an 'Over' bet. Despite facing an average of 38.4 shots at home, Wallstedt has managed to keep his Goals against average at 3.2, indicating his ability to make a high number of saves. Therefore, considering Wallstedt's strong home performance and the model's prediction, the 'Over' bet seems to have a solid statistical basis.
