Thursday sees a mix of MLB and NHL action, with several teams in the spotlight. The Colorado Avalanche are preparing to face the Seattle Kraken. Meanwhile, in baseball, the Houston Astros will meet the Colorado Rockies, and the San Diego Padres will host the Seattle Mariners.
Avalanche Favoured Against Kraken
The SportsLine Projection Model is backing the Colorado Avalanche to defeat the Seattle Kraken. The model suggests the Avalanche should be even larger favourites.
Astros and Rockies Primed for High-Scoring Game
The Over has hit in 13 of the Astros’ last 17 games. The Astros rank second in scoring offense at 5.67 runs per game. They are also allowing the most runs per game at 6.28 this season.
The Astros and Rockies combined for 13 runs on Tuesday. That game was a 7-6 Astros win that snapped their eight-game losing streak which stemmed from their struggling pitching. The Astros are starting Lance McCullers Jr., who allowed six runs in 4 1/3 innings to the Mariners last Saturday in his last start. The Rockies are 21st in runs allowed (4.59 runs per game), and the Over has hit in five of their last seven games.
Padres Look to Continue Winning Streak Against Mariners
The San Diego Padres are hosting the Seattle Mariners. The Padres are on a seven-game winning streak. The SportsLine Projection Model expects another Padres victory, backing San Diego to win.
The Padres are priced at +100 to beat the Mariners. The Padres are one of the hottest teams currently in baseball, winning seven straight and having an 8-4 home record. They will start two-time All-Star Walker Buehler, who tossed six shutout innings against the Rockies last Friday.
Buehler and the Padres are going up against three-time All-Star pitcher Luis Castillo, but the 33-year-old has a 6.92 ERA this season. Castillo allowed seven runs in 3 1/3 innings to the Astros last Saturday. The model projects the Padres to win in 54% of simulations.
Bonus Bets Available

- Padres to beat Mariners
- Over 8.5 runs in Astros vs Rockies
- Avalanche to defeat Kraken
Combining the three picks into a Thursday parlay would result in a payout of +476 (risk $100 to win $476, odds subject to change).
