<h2>Ottawa Senators at Anaheim Ducks Odds</h2>
Anaheim (-140) is currently favored over Ottawa (+120), and the Over/Under (O/U) is set at an even 6 goals. The line for betting the total stands at -120 over, +100 under.

Anaheim is 28-41 straight up (SU) and has punished moneyline bettors to the tune of -9.2 units so far. That early-season winning percentage hasn't moved much from what the team managed during the 2018-19 season (35-47). Through 69 regular season contests, 37 of the team's games have gone over the total, while 31 have gone under and just one has pushed. The team is 15-19 SU at home this year.

The Ducks have converted on just 13.7 percent of their power play chances this year, a mark that's ranked 32nd overall in the NHL. On the other hand, their penalty kill is ranked 29th overall, and they've successfully killed off 76.2 percent of all penalties.

The Ducks, as a collective unit, have been penalized 4.0 times per game overall this season, and 3.3 per game over their last ten outings. The team has had to kill penalties for just 7.5 minutes per game over their last 10 matchups, overall.

Averaging 27.5 saves per game with a .904 save percentage, John Gibson (20 wins, 31 losses, and five OT losses) has been the top goalkeeper for Anaheim this year. If Anaheim decides to give him a breather, however, the team may turn to Ryan Miller (9-13-13 record, .904 save percentage, 3.16 goals against average).

Ryan Getzlaf and Rickard Rakell will each spearhead the attack for the Ducks. Getzlaf (42 points) has tallied 13 goals and 29 assists and has recorded multiple points on eight different occasions this year. Rakell has 14 goals and 26 assists to his credit and has recorded a point in 29 contests.

On the visiting bench, Ottawa is 25-44 straight up (SU) and has lost 11.6 units for bettors taking the moneyline this year. A total of 37 of its outings have gone over the total, while 31 have gone under the total and just one has pushed. As the visiting team, the Senators are 7-25 SU.

The Senators have converted on just 14.8 percent of their power play opportunities this season, a figure that's ranked 30th in the NHL. On the other hand, its penalty kill unit is ranked 26th overall and it's successfully killed off 77.0 percent of all penalties.

Ottawa's players have been called for penalties 3.9 times per game this season, and 3.2 per game over their last five on the road. The team has been forced to kill penalties just 7.4 minutes per game over their last five outings.

Craig Anderson (26.7 saves per game) has been the primary option in goal for Ottawa. Anderson has 11 wins, 22 losses, and two OT losses to his credit, while registering a .901 save percentage and 3.26 goals against average this year.

For the visiting Senators, much of the offense will be facilitated by Connor Brown (16 goals, 26 assists) and Brady Tkachuk (20 goals, 21 assists).

Detroit Tigers vs Houston Astros Betting Pick & Prediction 6/14/24

<p>An international hard court tournament played on hard courts with mixed-gender teams from 18 countries, the United Cup takes place in Australia and serves as the kick off to both the WTA and ATP Tour seasons. The inaugural tournament was held last year and this year's event takes place from December 29 to January 7 at RAC Arena and Ken Rosewall Arena.</p>



<p>Let's take a look back at last year's inaugural tournament with a look ahead to some of the important matches this weekend for the 2024 United Cup.</p>



<p><strong><em><a href="/s/betdsi">BET ON THE UNITED CUP OVER AT BETDSI</a></em></strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-2023-united-cup-recap">2023 United Cup Recap</h2>



<p>Teams play in six groups of three countries at the United Cup. Last year's champion, the United States, won their group with a 2-0 record against the Czech Republic and Germany. Greece, Poland, Great Britain, Italy, and Croatia also won their groups with 2-0 records.</p>



<p>The three winners then play in single elimination games with each winner advancing to the semifinals along with the losing team with the best record in matches and sets. The US beat Poland and Italy beat Greece in last year's semifinals. The US then beat Italy 4-0 in the final with Jessica Pegula, Frances Tiafoe, Taylor Fritz, and Madison Keys scoring singles victories.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-2024-united-cup-changes">2024 United Cup Changes</h2>



<p>This year's tournament again features six groups of three teams and top eight teams, including the group winners, advance to the knockout stage. There's only three matches (2 singles and 1 doubles) in the group stage matches. The final will be played in Sydney on January 7.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-weekend-previews">Weekend Previews</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-poland-vs-brazil-nbsp">Poland vs. Brazil&nbsp;</h3>



<p>Poland has yet to play in the group stage, but will take on Brazil on Saturday. Brazil opened its tournament with a 2-1 loss to Spain and needs a win against Poland to keep their hopes of advancing to the quarterfinals alive. That could be a tall order, however, as the matchups favor Poland.</p>



<p>Iga Swiatek is due to face Beatriz Haddad Maia in the first of the three matches. Swiatek is 1-1 in two matches against Beatriz Haddad, but is the much more talented player and the current world No. 1. She has 17 singles titles compared to just three for Haddad Maia. Hubert Hurkacz plays Thiago Seyboth Wild in the other singles match. They've never played but, again, Hurkacz is the much higher rated player and has had more success than Seyboth Wild.</p>



<p>Swiatek and Hurkacz will then pair to take on Haddad Maia and Marcelo Melo in doubles action.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-canada-vs-chile">Canada vs. Chile</h3>



<p>Canada, which won the Billie Jean King Cup this year and the Davis Cup last year, has been one of the most impressive countries in international tennis over the last few years. They'll look to complete the trifecta with a United Cup victory next week and begin their journey on Sunday against Chile.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Leylah Fernandez, who was instrumental in helping Canada win the Billie Jean King Cup, takes on Daniela Seguel in the first match. Felix Auger-Aliassime is scheduled to play Nicolas Jarry in the second. This shapes up to be an easy victory for the Canadians.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-final-prediction">Final Prediction</h2>



<p>Canada arguably has one of the easier draws, although they'll face a challenge from Greece. Great Britain is in a good position with a 1-0 record already, having beaten host Australia. It's anyone's bet as to what teams will make the quarters at this point, but Canada, Great Britain, and Italy should all offer great value in tennis futures.</p>
