SourcePick Ideas
Hurricanes moneyline: be price-sensitive
At -340 (about 77% implied), I’d pass on the Hurricanes moneyline rather than pay the premium.
Sebastian Aho 1+ point
Aho scored two goals and an assist in Carolina’s win over Philadelphia; consider his point prop at a reasonable price, but treat the model’s 70% estimate cautiously.
Over 6.5 goals: wait for a better price
At -129, I’d pass on Over 6.5 and consider it only at about -110 or better.
