Seattle Kraken vs. Utah Mammoth Prediction
I’m on the Kraken and the plus money here. I get the case to be made for a team laying odds at home, but the Mammoth are in a real funk right now and are hard to back. Seattle isn’t playing much better, but Utah isn’t worth laying this price with right now and I think Seattle holds the value here. Give me Seattle in this one.
