AI Pick for Columbus Blue Jackets vs Utah Mammoth – NHL

The pick is Sean Monahan: Under 1.5 shots on goal at 1.95.

It's a bet on a player, not on the game: it doesn't matter who wins as long as Sean Monahan finishes below that number.

His average over the last 12 games is 1.5, above the line of 1.5, but the average is misleading: a few big games inflate it (his ceiling in the sample is 4).

Half of his games ended at 1 or less, and that's what the pick looks at.

The model's projection, which weights recent games more, is 1.5 shots on goal, practically the same as the plain average; that figure lands on the other side of the line, and the pick comes from the model's full calculation with the bookmakers' consensus.

Had this bet been placed in each of his last 12 games, it would have won 8 times.

At 1.95, break-even means hitting about 6.2 out of every 12; the sample clears that comfortably, and that gap is the pick's value.

His last 4 games (1, 1, 1, 4, newest first) leave 3 of 4 on the pick's side: no sharp change from the full sample.

Within the sample, Sean Monahan averages 1.14 shots on goal in his 7 home games, which is how he plays today.

The shots-on-goal Under wants a clogged game with little ice time for Sean Monahan; what threatens it most are power plays, where shots come fast and often.

The model doesn't settle for a single number: it crosses the real Sean Monahan frequency against this line with the bookmakers' consensus, and only publishes the pick when the available odds pay more than that count says.

A rule to keep in mind: without Sean Monahan in the game, the bet is void.
