Team Total SeamDown 103% last 7 daysWhy it likes it
- Kalshi team ladders imply Seattle 2.88 goals and Detroit 3.27; combined 6.15 versus 6.07 from the game-total ladder.
- Pinnacle's 6.0 total and devigged 57% Detroit moneyline share imply roughly 2.57 Seattle goals.
- The ladder discrepancy is about 0.30 goals and roughly 6 points at the 2.5 rung, clearing the internal-coherence threshold.
- This is venue self-reference rather than an outside team-total model; the 0.30-goal gap is near the minimum threshold.
- Seattle Kraken +2.5+28%Won

Fair DogDown 13% last 7 daysWhy it likes it
- Pinnacle anchors Detroit at -141 with a six-goal total, a moderate favorite rather than a strongest-side matchup.
- Confirmed goalies are Joey Daccord for Seattle and John Gibson for Detroit.
- The full-game spread ladder is monotone: Seattle +1.5 at 66c, +2.5 at 78c, and +3.5 at 89c; both sides of +2.5 are quoted with a one-cent gap.
- The modeled edge is narrow; modest mean or variance error erases the four-percent threshold.
