Seattle Kraken vs Nashville Predators Prediction
Two slumping teams that are watching their playoff hopes dwindle. I’d usually give the edge to the home team, but the value is with the Kraken and the plus money. The Kraken have a better chance of sneaking into the postseason and this is a revenge spot after losing to the Predators at home last week. I want the more favorable price if forced to pick between these two teams that are riding the struggle bus right now. Give me the Kraken.
