Stars vs Mammoth Prediction
In their previous meeting earlier this season, the Stars won 4-3 at home and are 4-1 in their last 5 meetings against the Mammoth.
In this Stars vs Mammoth Prediction, both teams are coming at a pickem price. The Stars have been the better team this season and have been better on the road but they have been struggling lately as they are just 2-8 in their last 10 games. On the flip side, the Mammoth are 4-1 in their last 5 games and will be playing their fifth straight game at home, while this will be the Stars’ 6th consecutive game on the road, so I like the value with the hosts in this one. Take the Mammoth on the moneyline at home.
