Kraken vs. Sharks Prediction
I’m on the Sharks here. I just can’t get to these kinds of prices with certain teams like the Seattle Kraken and even though they won’t win every game, you’ll likely end up ahead taking dogs like the Sharks, especially at home where they’re nearly a .500 team this season. I think the value here is on the Sharks and the plus money so I’ll take it.
