Dallas Stars vs Seattle Kraken Best Bet: Monday, May 15th

The Seattle Kraken and Dallas Stars have pushed their second-round series to the limit, and it will take a seventh game to decide which team advances to the Western Conference Finals. Goals have been the theme of this series since Game 1, and our resident hockey expert Ej Garr doesn’t expect that to change for this pivotal game that will get one of these teams closer to hoisting Lord Stanley’s Cup!

The Seattle Kraken is setting franchise records with everything they accomplish in this year’s Stanley Cup Playoffs. After picking up their first team win in the post-season this year, they already have a series win under their belts and now they are one win away from appearing in the Western Conference Finals!

If you are a fan of watching exciting, high-scoring games, this has been the series to watch because not one of the first six games has seen less than 6 goals scored. A 5 – 4 Game 1 of this series set the tone for what was to come and now there have been 49 goals scored through the first six games.

Pinnacle is tempting us to make a play on this Over 6 listing the odds at 2.05, and if you know anything about me that is more than a reasonable offer. It’s not like we don’t have enough of a sample size being that it’s all these two teams have done since the series began.

It was 2 – 1 in the first period of Game 6, and yet the line setters are also tempting us to fancy a wager on the BTTS. At 2.78, GGBet is offering the best odds on Both Teams to Score in the First Period, and I don’t think I can let that just sit there without my attention. You would think that the oddsmakers would expect Game 7 to play out as most of this series has, and because I am the Mayor of Value City I have to make that the best bet of the night. When it is 2 – 1 again as we start the second period, it will just carry us into the total Many pundits out there expect a nerve-wracking opening frame in a Game 7 because of what is on the line, but neither team is about to divert from what got them to where they are now.

Seattle knows what they can do when they are aggressive and the Dallas offense can certainly score in droves at times. I am also amazed that the line setters are giving Seattle essentially no chance to win this game. At 1.46, that is quite the discrepancy for a Seattle team that can just as easily win this game as Dallas can.
