    Analysis

    I went ahead and added a copy/paste shortcut to my Microsoft Word for "Fade the Twins on the road" as it will get plenty of use on my reliable Commodore 64. I won't win them all -- and won't just blindly do it -- but certainly expect many. Didn't see anything from Wednesday's easy win to think the Royals lose behind Cole Ragans on Thursday. He disappointed in 2025 but his one start vs. the Twins was a dominant win. Minnesota now has dropped three in a row by multiple runs but there's a light at the end of the tunnel as the club finally gets home for the first time after this one. Easy to be looking forward to that.

    Picked: Apr 1 @ 1:31pm

    Analysis

    Seattle returns home after a grueling 12-day, six-game road trip that concluded in Edmonton on March 31. Teams crossing multiple time zones in a single week typically win 6.2% fewer games. Meanwhile, Utah has been well-rested, last playing on March 28, when they beat the Kings. Historically, NHL road teams with a rest advantage of three days or more over their hosts have been profitable, showing a +9.7% ROI. The Mammoth are ranked 6th in shots against with a +110 shot differential and a +17 High-Danger mark. In contrast, the Kraken rank 20th in shots allowed, with a -279 shot differential and a -27 High-Danger mark. Utah is not only the superior possession team but also has a massive rest advantage.

    Spread
    Picked: Apr 1 @ 7:00pm

    Analysis

    Utah has some wiggle room in terms of a West wild-card spot, but slumping Seattle has to have two points. The Kraken haven't been quite the home cash cow of late but are still an excellent 23-13 ATS there. Utah is 18-20 ATS away. The Mammoth remain without top-six forward Barrett Hayton (25 points). They lead the season series 2-0, but Karel Vejmelka gave up three in each and those were in Salt Lake City. Also before Seattle made the excellent trade for Toronto's Bobby McMann.
