Top 3 Player Props – Edmonton Oilers
Player Prop #1: McDavid Over 1.5 Points / 1.5 at -120 / 72% / Leads high-usage offense (3.4 GF/game); recent form 6W-4L with stars driving 3.2 GF avg
Player Prop #2: Draisaitl Over 3.5 Shots / 3.5 at -110 / 68% / Key shooter in fast-paced attack vs Ducks weak GA (3.5); home splits favor volume
Player Prop #3: Hyman Over 0.5 Points / 0.5 at -130 / 70% / Consistent scorer alongside McDavid; Oilers home GF 3.4 supports multi-point potential

Top 3 Player Props – Anaheim Ducks
Player Prop #1: T. Terry Over 2.5 Shots / 2.5 at -115 / 67% / Primary volume shooter on weak offense (3.2 GF away); exploits Edm GA 3.2
Player Prop #2: M. McTavish Over 0.5 Points / 0.5 at -125 / 65% / Emerging top-line producer vs Oilers recent defensive lapses (2.3 GA last 10 but variable)
Player Prop #3: L. Dostal Over 28.5 Saves / 28.5 at -110 / 69% / Expected starter facing 3.4 GF; Ducks allow high shots, recent games confirm volume

⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public and sharp money align heavily on Edmonton (68%/73% ML), supporting ML but sim favors fading spread public (58%) with Ducks +1.5 edge from projected close game. Totals lean under per money split (61%) and recent Edm form (avg 6.4 total last 10), flipping sim slight over for contrarian value. Overall low-scoring outlook with defenses holding firm (Edm GA 3.2, Ducks road GA adjustment).

🔮 Recommended Play
Fade the public on Oilers -1.5 — sim math projects only 37% cover despite consensus hype.
