Ducks had at least 6 goals in 14 of their last 22 games, with 10 of those 14 games going over this total, while the Oilers went over this total in 18 of their last 22 games. Their 2 H2H meetings saw totals of 11 and 11 goals, with each side scoring and conceding at least 4 goals in both games. They also went over this total in 7 of their last 9 H2H meetings played in Alberta with those 9 matches averaging a very high 8.3 total goals per game, so got to expect another similarly high-scoring contest, which should see plenty of goals and result in an over in the end.

These two teams are separared by 8 points so this should be a close game. Albacete won last 2 games scoring 6 goals including a win at league leaders. Conversely, Castellon is winless in last 5 games with 3 loases having scored in all 5 of those games while conceding 13 goals, so got to expect goals in this one. Albacete won by 1 goal at Castellon so got to fancy them to win again narrowly making score of 2-1 a solid pick to go with.

Blue Jackets are holding the final wild-card spot in the East, while the Sharks are 12th in the West and well out of the playoff picture. Blue Jackets won 5 of their last 7 games, including 3 straight wins at home, while the Sharks lost their last 6 games, conceding 29 goals in those losses. Blue Jackets won their last 4 head-to-head meetings against the Sharks at home, scoring at least 4 goals in each of those games, so got to fancy them to have the edge here and win this one too.

Penge had a breakout year on the DP World Tour last year, winning 3 times in a span from late April to early October, with 4 more top-10 finishes. He needed some time after relocating to the USA and adjusting to the PGA Tour, but T16 at The Genesis Invitational was a great sign that he is settling well and starting to play his best. Last week at the Valspar Championship he proved that with an even better T4 finish. He ranked 4th for Putting Average last week at Copperhead, and Memorial Park this week should suit him just fine on debut, so got to fancy the Englishman for a strong showing.

Thorbjornsen has been playing very well this season, highlighted by T3 finish at the Phoenix Open. He shot superb back-to-back rounds of 65-67 on Friday and Saturday at The Players Championship in his last outing to enter Sunday playing in the final group, but that got to him and he made a big mistake on the 4th hole for a quadruple bogey and a subsequent 77 round that saw him drop in the rankings to finish T22. He was T39 here on debut last year after 4 bogeys on the final 5 holes ruined an even better finish, but that result came after he missed 6 of the previous 7 cuts, so arriving in much better form this time around at a course he clearly can play well on makes Michael a solid pick to go with this weekend.

Finau has been very solid of late, making 5 of his last 6 cuts en route to 3 top-20 finishes in that span. He has an excellent record here at Memorial Park, being 7 for 9, highlighted by a win in 2022 which was followed up with T2 when defending in 2024. He played very well last week at the Valspar Championship and now arrives in Houston, where he has very fond memories in the last few years on a course on which he usually plays very well, so got to see very nice value in backing Tony for another strong weekend.
