Juuse Saros (Nashville Predators) Over 24.5 Saves (-125)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
The betting rationale for Juuse Saros to make over 24.5 saves is largely based on his recent performance and the model's prediction. Over his last five games, Saros' average number of saves is 26.2, which is higher than the proposed line of 24.5. Furthermore, he has consistently faced a high number of shots with the average being 28.8 shots against over the same period. The model predicts that Saros will make 26.42 saves in the upcoming game, further supporting the bet. Although Saros' average saves at home games is slightly below the line at 22, considering his overall performance and the model's prediction, the bet for over 24.5 saves seems justified. This suggests that the game against the Ottawa Senators could likely involve a high number of shots on goal, allowing Saros more opportunities to make saves.
