This is a 6* MID-CHALK CHOKE-OUT on the San Jose Sharks.
For a number of different reasons, I look for the home side to find a way to get the job done at the end of the night. I actually released a free play on the Kings in their 2-1 OT home loss to Calgary on Monday and while I don't usually "flip-flop" from game-to-game, I simply feel this is a poor spot for them and that the home side offers extremely good line value in this one. San Jose will be playing "hungry" today, its the final game for both teams before the All-Star break but the Sharks are also looking to avoid a third straight defeat at home. Most recently the Sharks lost 5-2 to New Jersey on Monday, dropping them to 1-4-1 at home since December 30th. Unfortunately for the Kings, they're mired in a slump right now as well, the loss to the Flames completed a dismal 1-2-4 home stand, dropping the defending Stanley Cup champions one point behind Calgary for the Western Conference's final wild-card spot. Note that LA is 7-8 (-5.4 units) vs. division opponents and 10-14 (-7.6 units) vs. teams with winning records this year. And note that San Jose is interestingly 6-1 (+5 units) this year after playing three or more consecutive home games. In my opinion, this is the very definition of "great line value"; play on the SHARKS.
