Thanks to TG, 312, Steve & Frank for stopping by. BOL this evening.
I'm happy to take the better team as the dog. Over the L25 of the regular season, EDM ranked higher than DAL in 9/15 inputs. EDM ranked in the T10 in 12/15 inputs while DAL did in 7/15. DAL ranked in the bottom third in 4/15 inputs while EDM did in 0/15. EDM avg rank across all inputs was 7th while DAL was 11th. At the end of the regular season, Skinner ranked 36th (2.0) in GSAE while Oettinger finished in 38th (1.9). I have 3 different SV%s in my 15 inputs and EDM ranks 8/6/4 while DAL ranks 23/21/22. I know most people probably think DAL has the edge in goal in this series but the numbers just don't bear this out. That being said, Oettinger has been better in the playoffs but his 93.85% SV% may be due for some regression, especially when you consider EDM has the top SH% in the playoffs. I'm not big on making playoff rankings because teams haven't played the same number of games and the sample size is just too small but I did include the playoff avg rank across all inputs which shows a very similar level of play from both teams.
This is a SERIES bet.
Edmonton (+114) 2*
