Jacob Markstrom (New Jersey Devils) Under 25.5 Saves (-115)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

Based on the statistical data provided, betting on Jacob Markstrom for Under 25.5 in the 'Player Total Saves' market is a logical choice. In the recent five home games, Markstrom's average saves were only 15.8, significantly lower than the proposed line of 25.5. This trend reflects a pattern of low shots against him at home, with a five-game average of only 18.4. Moreover, Markstrom's overall average saves for the last five games is 20, still below the line set by the bookmaker. In addition, Markstrom is currently on a hit streak in home games, having hit the under in his last five home appearances. Therefore, based on his recent performances and the model's prediction of 24.03 saves, it is statistically reasonable to expect Markstrom's total saves to be under 25.5 in the upcoming game against the Carolina Hurricanes.
