    Analysis

    Western Kentucky comes into this having won three of its last four, and had a bye last week, so it's well-rested. Any time I can catch points in a situation like this in a game that's basically a coin flip, I'll take em.

    Analysis

    When Connor Helleybuck makes his NJD debut remains a mystery but what isn't right now is how well the Devils are playing at both ends of the ice. From an expected goals standpoint across all situations and at 5 v 5 this team has been elite. Meanwhile for Dallas the Stars are playing good hockey but often being priced based on reputation above all else. I think there's also a chance that starting goalie Jake Oettinger gets the night off Tuesday but even if he doesn't I still show a sizable edge on the road team here.

    Picked: Oct 26 @ 9:00pm

    Analysis

    DraftKings. This is a matchup between two hot teams. The Devils have won three straight and five of their last six. Meanwhile, Dallas has won five straight. My issue with New Jersey is that all five of those wins came at home. The Devils have played just three road games this season. They are 1-2 with the lone win coming in OT over Detroit. One of NJ's strengths is that they rank first in shots on goal. The Stars should negate that. Dallas ranks first in SOG allowed, first in goals allowed, and second in penalty-kill percentage. Not only has the defense been strong, but starting goaltender Jake Oettinger has been a wall, sporting a 1.43 GAA. I'll back Dallas -125 for one unit.

    Analysis

    One team has everything going right, and they're laughing, partying, and bringing in an eventual World Series Championship. The other team, the Rays, is playing like their grandmother just died. The Rays had to sit through Game 3 being 10 runs down for the most grueling hour and a half and exposure of their baseball life. How do you come back from that? I'm sure we're going to get more than one run from the Rays tomorrow, but if the Brewers keep doing what they're doing, they're going to win.

    3-2 in Last 5 UTA ML Picks
    UTA
    -125
    Money Line
    Picked: Oct 26 @ 3:53pm

    Analysis

    Minnesota travels to Salt Lake City for its third game in four days, concluding a grueling road trip that has taken them from Canada to Seattle and back to Canada again. The Utah Mammoth have built a strong home-ice advantage at Delta Center, bolstered by two extra days of rest and the high-altitude challenge. Utah’s offense, featuring Clayton Keller, Dylan Guenther, and Logan Cooley, generates 9.5 high-danger chances per game—fourth-best in the NHL. While Utah has struggled on the penalty kill, Minnesota is not known for drawing many penalties, averaging just 2.8 to 3.0 power plays per 60 minutes on the road. This translates to only 5 to 6 minutes of shorthanded play for the home team. This spot screams Utah. Play up to -130.
