How many points will the Kraken have?
82.5: Over -110 | Under -110
The Kraken would need to amass at least 83 points in their debut season for a $110 bet on the Over 82.5 (-110) to return a profit of $100. An end-of-season total of 82 or fewer points would be a loss for the Over bet but a win for the Under.
For context, the Vegas Golden Knights compiled 109 points while going 51-24-7 and advancing to the Stanley Cup Final in their debut 2017-18 season.
Odds to make the playoffs
Yes: +100 | No: -120
The Kraken are even-money underdogs to make the playoffs in their inaugural campaign with a $100 bet on "Yes" returning a profit of $100. "No" is priced as the more likely result at BetMGM with an implied probability of 54.55% and a $120 bet needed for a $100 profit.
