Kings at Oilers picks and predictions
Prediction
Oilers 4, Kings 3
Moneyline
The OILERS (-150) are moderate favorites, and they’re worth playing in their return home after a 2-2-0 road trip.
The Oilers have cashed in 22 of the past 32 home games dating back to last season while winning 31 of their last 41 contests inside the division.
The Kings are also 4-11 in the past 15 trips to Edmonton while going 3-7 in the past 10 meetings in this series. Back the Oil.
Puck line/Against the spread
The Kings +1.5 (-190) are a little on the expensive side, costing you nearly 2 times your potential return if you would like some insurance.
If you like L.A., just play it straight up, but there is really no evidence the Kings will play well here. The Oilers have owned the Kings in recent seasons, and they’ve dominated overall inside the division.
PASS.
Over/Under
OVER 6.5 (-130) is a little pricey, but it’s worth it.
It’s been all about the Over lately for the Kings, hitting at a 7-1-1 clip across the past 9 games on the road ad going 10-4-2 in the past 16 games overall.
The same holds true for the Oilers, as the Over is 3-0-1 in the past 4 games at home while going 3-1-1 in the past 5 games inside the division.
