The BetQL Model assigns a star rating (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐= best value; ⭐= least value) to every bet for every game in every sport, every day.

For Sharks at Blues, the BetQL Model sees solid value in a couple of bets, including under 6 on the total (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐) and Sharks +1.5 on the puck line (⭐⭐⭐) . Check out all of our daily NHL best bets right here.

The Sharks are coming off a big win over the Minnesota Wild, while the Blues are on a four-game losing streak. St. Louis started the season 5-0-0, but is now stuck in a heck of a slump, so the Sharks could take advantage of this to cover the spread. However, with Torey Krug back from COVID-19 protocol, the Blues could get back in their groove against the Sharks at home.

To calculate those star ratings, the Model crunches every player and team stat imaginable and spits out projections for every game. In this case, the Model projects the Blues will score 2.5 goals to the Sharks' 2.35 goals and gives the Blues a 51.39% chance to win. BetQL also grades each team in different areas to show you where each might have an advantage.
