Logan Thompson (Washington Capitals) Over 22.5 Saves (-105)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The bet on Logan Thompson for Over 22.5 in 'Player Total Saves' is based on his recent performance data and the model's prediction. Thompson's average saves for the last 5 games overall is 22.4, which is nearly equal to the proposed line of 22.5. Furthermore, the model predicts that Thompson will make 24.29 saves, which is higher than the line set by the bookmaker. Despite his home games save average being slightly lower at 18.2, his hit rate in the last 15 home games is more than 50%, indicating a decent performance at home. Also, the standard deviation in the model prediction is 7.57, which indicates a reasonable chance of Thompson exceeding the line. Therefore, based on the model's prediction and Thompson's recent performance statistics, the bet for Over 22.5 in 'Player Total Saves' seems promising.
