Featured Tip from ATS King

Pick Details

Sport / league:: NHL
Event / fixture:: San Jose at Los Angeles
Event date: Fri, 24 May 2013 at 12:35 PM
Market:: Head-to-head
Tip:: Los Angeles Kings @ 1.68 (Pinnacle)
Tip Result:: Win

This is Game 5 of a Round 2 Stanley Cup playoff series. The LA Kings won the first two games at home then the San Jose Sharks won Games 3 and 4 when they hosted. There is actually a 9 game streak where the home team has won the head to head between these two.

This time it is the Kings turn to host. They have won their last 5 at home and are 6-1 in their last 7 at home against the Sharks. The Sharks meanwhile are 8-17 in their last 25 on the road.

San Jose sneaked through with two 2-1 wins in Games 3 and 4 and I expect the Kings to return to winning ways when the series returns to Los Angeles. I prefer the head to head to the -1.5 line bet on the Kings because 8 of the last 10 games between these two sides were settled by a single goal.
