The Moonshot is the big swing. Thursday's ticket is five moneylines, and no leg appears on the straight board or in the Parlay of the Day.
The math
Five legs at +172, +146, +190, -102 and +195 combine to +11236. A $10 ticket returns $1134. This is the longshot ticket, and it goes out before its first leg tips.
The legs
Sacramento Kings moneyline (+172) at the Pelicans. Both teams are 0-4, and New Orleans is on the second night of a back-to-back after facing Denver on Wednesday, with Jordan Poole leaving that game early with an ankle injury.
Chicago Blackhawks moneyline (+146) at the Red Wings. Detroit is a steep home favorite, and Chicago has won three of its last four games. The price is too big to pass up on the road dog.
Columbus Blue Jackets moneyline (+190) at the Hurricanes. Carolina is a heavy home favorite, and the plus price carries the leg.
Los Angeles Kings moneyline (-102) vs the Senators. Los Angeles is the home side at essentially a pick'em price against an Ottawa team traveling west.
Winnipeg Jets moneyline (+195) at the Lightning. Winnipeg is the road dog in Tampa at a near two-to-one price, closing a ticket built mostly on dogs.
