<h2>Winnipeg Jets vs. Edmonton Oilers Odds</h2>
The Oilers are 33-31 straight up (SU) and have earned 3.5 units for moneyline bettors this year. That winning percentage, ranked third in the Pacific Division so far this season, is a welcomed improvement compared to what the team managed during last year's regular season (35-47). Through 64 regular season outings, 31 of its games have gone over the total, while 29 have gone under and just four have pushed. The team's 15-15 SU at home this year.

Edmonton currently has the second-strongest power-play unit in the NHL, as it's found the net on 28.6 percent of their extra-man opportunities this season. On the other hand, its penalty kill is ranked third overall, and it's successfully killed off 84.1 percent of all penalties.

Edmonton, as a collective unit, has been penalized 3.4 times per game overall this season, 3.4 per game over its last five games total, and 3.6 per game over its last five home outings. The team has been forced to kill penalties for just 7.4 minutes per game over its last 10 matchups, overall.

Averaging 27.5 saves per game with a .911 save percentage, Mikko Koskinen (17-17-2) has been the principal goalkeeper for the Oilers this year. If they, however, choose to give him a breather, head coach Dave Tippett could turn to Mike Smith (17-18-18 record, .903 save percentage, 2.90 goals against average).

The Oilers will continue to rely on leadership from Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid. Draisaitl (99 points) has tallied 37 goals and 62 assists and has recorded multiple points in 30 different games this year. McDavid has 31 goals and 56 assists to his name and has recorded at least one point in 43 games.

On the visitors' side of the ice, Winnipeg is 33-33 straight up (SU) and has netted 2.6 units for moneyline bettors this year. A total of 35 of its outings have gone under the total, while 29 have gone over and just two have pushed. Winnipeg's 16-16 SU as an away team this season.

Winnipeg has converted on 19.8 percent of its power play chances this year, a mark that's right around league average. On the other hand, its penalty kill unit is ranked 23rd overall and it's successfully killed off 77.7 percent of all penalties.

Winnipeg's skaters have been penalized only 3.1 times per game this season, and 3.8 per game over their last five road outings. The team has been forced to stave off opponent power plays 8.7 minutes per game over their last 10 outings.

Connor Hellebuyck (.920 save percentage and 2.67 goals against average) has been the primary option in goal for Winnipeg. Hellebuyck is averaging 28.5 saves per game and has 28 wins, 25 losses, and five overtime losses to his credit.

Mark Scheifele (28 goals, 42 assists) will lead the offensive attack for the visiting Jets.

<h2>Notes</h2>
Betting Notes

Four of Winnipeg's last five outings have gone under the total.

Penalties and power plays may have a key role in tonight's game. The Jets are 15-20 in games where they serve fewer penalty minutes than their opponent and 22-29 when they're in the box for fewer than 10 penalty minutes, total. The Oilers are 15-9 when they serve fewer penalty minutes than the opposition and 25-22 when their penalty minutes are in the single digits.

Winnipeg is 3-2 in games decided by a shootout this season while Edmonton is 2-2 in shootouts.

Edmonton is ranked 8th in the NHL with 8.3 takeaways per game. That figure has trended down lately, however, as it has created 7.4 takeaways over its last 10 games and 5.6 takeaways over its last five.

Winnipeg skaters have created 6.4 takeaways per game over its last five road games, its season average of 6.8 takeaways per game (ranked 22nd in the league).

Major League Baseball was founded all the way back in 1876, but the league has obviously gone through some major changes since that time. Most of the major rules are still in place, but the way that the game is played is now much different.

There are currently 30 teams in MLB, and every team plays 162 games during the regular season. MLB games typically start at the end of March, or early April, and the World Series wraps up during the first week of November.

MLB teams are split up into leagues and divisions, but there is now more crossover games than ever before. The American League and National League now operate under the same basic rules, and that keeps things similar regardless of what league you are looking at.

Knowing the best MLB betting sites &amp; sportsbooks is also important if you plan to bet on MLB, and this article will explore that as well. By the time you are done reading this article, you should be ready to bet on baseball.

Portland Pilots vs Princeton Tigers NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 11/24/24

NASCAR moves out of the Carolinas and into Bristol Motor Speedway for the Food City Presents the Supermarket Heroes 500 on Sunday May 31. It will be 500 laps around the .533-mile perfect oval in Thunder Valley for the first of two scheduled races at Bristol. The next race is set for September 19 during the Cup Championship Playoffs.

Chase Elliott finally got his much-deserved win on Thursday night in the Alsco Uniforms 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. It was another strong night for Chevy with three finishers in the top five and they’ll hope to continue those recent trends here at NASCAR’s version of The Colosseum.

It will be very strange to see Bristol Motor Speedway empty. It ranks in the top-10 in the world in capacity, but there will not be a soul in the stands as NASCAR continues to observe the rules and regulations of government officials regarding mass gatherings and social distancing.

Once again, there will not be any qualifying or practice for the race. NASCAR has decided on a different process for setting the starting grid than what it previously used with the inverted top 20. Now NASCAR will divide the field into thirds based on points and then do a random draw. The first two rows are all Ford cars with Brad Keselowski, Aric Almirola, Joey Logano, and Ryan Blaney starting first through fourth.

We’ll take a look here with some odds from <a href="http://bangthebook.com/s/5dimes"><strong>5Dimes Sportsbook</strong></a> for Sunday’s 3:30 p.m. ET start time:

The usual suspects are at the top of the betting board this week. Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick, Chase Elliott, etc., etc. The fact of the matter is that this is Kyle Busch’s race to lose. The Busch of Joe Gibbs Racing has won this race in back-to-back years and has five career wins in this race. He is also a three-time winner of the Night Race, which is traditionally in August, but will now be pushed back into September.

Basically, this is a boom or bust race for Busch. He either wins or finishes well off the pace. He was 35th and 38th in 2017 and 2016. He was 29th in 2014 after missing the 2015 race due to injury. Other than his five wins, he has one top-five finish in this race. So, it’s his race to lose. He doesn’t always win it, but if he stays clean and in the race, he typically does. He’s a very short price at +400, but he deserves it.

JGR teammate Denny Hamlin won the Night Race at Bristol last year for the second time. He’s actually never won the spring race at Bristol. He was second on Wednesday night and already has a couple of wins this season. He’s definitely going to be a factor in Sunday’s race and the price point isn’t all that bad at +775, even though he’s the third choice.

This does seem like Toyota’s race to lose. It wasn’t Busch in 2015 or 2016, but it was Matt Kenseth and Carl Edwards. Chevrolet had three wins last decade, two of them by Jimmie Johnson. Ford only had one and it was Carl Edwards. That is Ford’s only win since 2004. Ford has done better in the night race with back-to-back Joey Logano wins in 2014-15 and Kurt Busch’s 2018 win. Chevy only has one win in the night race dating back to 2004. That was Harvick in 2016.

This will be the first true short track race of 2020. Phoenix has been the shortest at just over one mile. It will be interesting to see how the drivers adjust, particularly with no practice or qualifying. Things are going to be a whole lot tighter than they have been. I would expect some crashes in this race. It is worth noting that most of the winners and top-five finishers have been some of the sport’s best drivers, so long shot prices may not be the best option here. Even though chaos is possible, the sport’s best are going to prevail in small, tight quarters.

Kurt Busch is a persistent factor at Bristol. He was the runner-up in this race last year and won Stage 2 in the night race before finishing ninth. Both Busches are worth betting this week, as you can get Kurt at +1600.

Ford hasn’t had many wins here, but has been a factor with stage wins and spots in the top five. This is a week to fade Chevy. Whatever you want to bet from a winner standpoint is up to you, but fading Chevy in some group matchups, with the exception of Chase Elliott and Kurt Busch, makes a ton of sense.

With that in mind, we’ll be looking at going against guys like Jimmie Johnson, William Byron, Alex Bowman, Austin Dillon, Tyler Reddick, and Matt Kenseth. You don’t have to be involved in Group Matchups with all of these guys, but some will be worth going against as those prices get posted market-wide.

Coverage of the Food City Presents the Supermarket Heroes 500 will be at 3:30 p.m. ET on FS1.
