Best PrizePicks Parlay Today: Fade Jeffrey Springs?
Jeffrey Springs o/u 6.5 Strikeouts
Tampa Bays Rays left-hander Jeffrey Springs was masterful in his first out against the Detroit Tigers, going 6.0 innings without allowing a hit while striking out 12. But it is a tall task to ask the 30-year-old to replicate that performance, even against a weak A’s offense.
Despite their lack of run-scoring prowess, the A’s have the ability to get bat on the ball. Through the first week, Oakland ranks 17th in the league with 61 strikeouts. Look for Springs to come back down to earth a little bit on Saturday afternoon, making the under 6.5 a wise PrizePicks play.
Best PrizePicks Picks: Jeffrey Springs Under 6.5 K’s
Brock Boeser O/U 2.5 Shots on Goal
The next Prizepicks play comes in the Vancouver Canucks-Calgary Flames matchup on Saturday night. Canucks wing Brock Boeser is enjoying another fine season, scoring 17 goals and notching 37 assists in 71 games played. However, he is in a good fade spot against a Flames team desperately needing a win to keep their wild card hopes alive.
Boeser averages just 2.28 shots on net on the year, and it’s a safe bet that he will be coming in under that total despite the recent string of solid play from the canucks. The PrizePicks tool gives the under a 58% chance of hitting.

Adrian Kempe O/U 2.5 Shots on Goal
While the Canucks-Flames matchup may very well feature two teams who will be on the outside looking in for the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Los Angeles Kings-Colorado Avalanche features two teams eyeing a deep postseason run. The Kings have gotten contributions from a lot of their young nucleus to propel them to an impressive 45-24-10 record, including strong goal-scoring from Adrian Kempe.
Kempe leads the team with 36 goals on the year and should be able to fire off over 2.5 shots against the Avs. Kempe averages 3.13 shots per game but has not been shooting the same clip in recent games. Still, OddsShopper gives Kempe a 57% chance to get off over 2.5 shots on Saturday.
Best PrizePicks Picks: Adrian Kempe Over 2.5 Shots
Ivica Zubac O/U 10.5 Rebounds
The Clippers have gotten some clutch performances from big man Ivica Zubac as they look to avoid the play-in tournament next week. The latest came when Zubac scored 17 points and hauled in 13 rebounds in the win over the Lakers on Wednesday night. But OddsShopper expects him to come back down by his 10.0 rebound average, making the under a solid play in the Clippers-Trail Blazers matchup.
The PrizePicks Parlay tool gives Zubac a 56% chance of going under 10.5 rebounds Saturday.

Alex Pietrangelo O/U 2.5 Shots on Goal
Las Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Alex Pietrangelo has been known for his offensive prowess throughout his career, and he has stayed true to that label this season. The D-Man has 11 goals and 42 assists in 70 games played this season, but is in a good spot to fade on Saturday against the Dallas Stars on Saturday afternoon.
Pietrangelo has 2.4 shots on goal per game this season, and OddShopper says he should stay under the 2.5 shots number this afternoon, giving him a 56% chance of coming under the total.

Elias Lindholm O/U 2.5 Shots
We’ll go back to the Flames-Canucks matchup for the last PrizePicks play to take advantage of. Although the Flames need to pull out the win to keep up with the Winnipeg Jets for the final wild card spot in the West, OddsShopper says to go under on Elias Lindholm’s 2.5 shots.
The Swedish centerman has been a key cog for Calgary this season, scoring 21 goals and 42 assists. But his 2.27 shots per game indicate his under should be a solid play on Saturday.
OddsShopper gives the under 2.5 Elias Lindholm shots a 56% chance of hitting.
