Moneyline
The betting market, with the margin removed, gives Vegas Golden Knights a 50.2% chance to beat Pittsburgh Penguins. AiQ's moneyline pick is the side the consensus favors, here by less than a point. The price on record, -112, is priced below the fair price of -101 (−5.0% value).
Total
The betting market, with the margin removed, puts the over 6.5 goals at 53.5% and the under at 46.5%. That is near a coin flip, and AiQ's read is the market's own, so AiQ has no edge on the total. AiQ's projected total, 6.8 goals, sits on the 6.5 line.
Puck line
The betting market, with the margin removed, gives Vegas Golden Knights +1.5 a 70.4% chance to cover and Pittsburgh Penguins -1.5 29.6%. AiQ's read matches the market price, so AiQ has no edge on the puck line.
Trends in play
Everything points over on the total. The Pittsburgh Penguins went over the total in 7 of their last 10 games. The Vegas Golden Knights went over the total in 7 of their last 10 games.
These come from the closing lines of this season and last. They are context, not the reason for AiQ's picks, and the books price them in.
