I will pick my prediction from match between Maxime Cressy and Taylor Fritz.

Pick: Maxime Cressy to win at 2.5 odds choosing bet 365 as odds in pinnacle is bit high , more than game rules.

Before Wimbledon, Maxime Cressy showed a good game. In all matches at the Eastbourne competition, he deserved to win. During the entire tournament, Maxime lost only one game. It happened in the semi-final battle with Jack Draper, whom Cressy outplayed with a score of 7-6, 6-7, 6-3.
It is worth noting that Maxim passed the rest of his opponents quite confidently. Reilly Opelka, Cameron Norrie and Daniel Evans could not put up a decent resistance to Cressy. After winning the Masters in Indian Wells, Taylor Fritz did not show anything special. He missed most of the tournaments on clay. Yes, and in the first grass competitions, Taylor flew out in the opening round. But things have changed in Eastbourne. He did not perform in the first round. In the second, Fritz did not leave a chance to Thiago Monteiro (7-5, 6-3). After that, there was also a victory over Alexander Bublik (6-3, 6-2). In the last fight, Taylor defeated Alex De Minaur (6-1, 6-7, 6-3). There is no such reason, I don't like Taylor Fritz as a tennis player. Cressy is in good form and defeated Jack who was on fire, so he can defeat Fritz too.

On today's game between Maxime Cressy VS Taylor Fritz i will be placing my bet on Maxime Cressy!

"Great minds think alike". As @Sumit i too belive that Cressy M. will take the win to himself on today's game. 

  Pick: Maxime Cressy to win at 2.50

(Bet 365 isn't available on my country of origin so i can't enter their site but i was able to take the odds from "oddsportal")

Maxime Cressy dropped a set for the first time in this campaign against former Boys' Wimbledon runner-up Jack Draper in the semifinal. The talented Brit youngster leveled the contest by edging the second set in the tiebreaker but failed to take his chances in the decider, despite creating five breakpoint chances (MC won 7-6 6-7 6-3).

Taylor Fritz secured the win in three sets in the battle between former ATP Eastbourne champions in the semifinal of this edition. He dominated the reigning champion Alex de Minaur in the first set, had his chances in the second, and controlled the decider to bag the win, 6-1 6-7 6-3. He also lost three consecutive matches against underdogs Bernabe Zapata Miralles at the French Open, Tim Van Rijthoven in 's-Hertogenbosch, and Jack Draper in London and even struggled to an extent against the clay-court specialist Thiago Monteiro earlier in this campaign.

Taylor Fritz is the better all-round player, and he would probably have more than a 70% chance of beating Maxime Cressy in most of their meetings but not in this one as the ATP Eastbourne debutant is looking in good touch this week, and it's not going to be easy for anyone to beat him on grass if he plays at his best level.

SAW:

SAW ranks 55th in the world ranking (They are currently losing a lot and has fallen from 29th). In the past, they were considered one of the mid-tier teams able to compete competitively along with the top dogs. However, some behind the scenes problems occurred and now only 3 players from the past remains here now. With the addition of 2 new members, 1 of which was from a Portuguese team and the other brand new, they are still adjusting to their new play-styles. 

The only good thing this team has achieved is the victory over HEET (2-0) and Sprout (2-1).

 

Movistar:

Movistar Riders ranks 18th in the world ranking. The team is competing in two tournaments at once (Crazy lmao) and of course, they suffered from their problematic scheduling. First, the match against Astralis at the Roobet Cup was postponed and withdrew from the secondary tournament to focus on the bigger event. The guys only lost to the Falcons here. At the same time, they defeated Sprout, and the day before they knocked out Entropiq. Impressive feat so SAW shouldn’t exactly be a problem for them.

 

PREDICTION:

Movistar should be the victory here given their statistics and past matches. They won against Sprout pretty comfortably with a 2-0 compared to SAW being a close game.

Movistar has also shown to be very confident in their play style and isn’t afraid of taking fights  (and winning them).

MLB 

Houston vs NY Yankees 

Once again my favorite pitcher is up Gerrit Cole for the Yankees up against Cristian Javier for houston and these 2 pitcher are as good as they come with a combined era of 6 ! (wow). I feel this game will be a low scoring game so im going with the under on this one at 8.5 runs with the odds 1.92.(pinnacle) 

Together these 2 teams runs allowed = 5.5/ 6.0 so the 8.5 is kinda high if u ask me, but looking at the batting percentages (sheesh) both teams are 17th in the league and there on base percentage is also the same 17th in league ..... this will be a pitching war no doubt.

Everything about this game screams under, for a side bet im going with cole striking out more then 6

This will be my pick for the competition. I will choose the match between Milwaukee Brewers and Toronto Blue Jays. First, I will tell you my tip, then I will explain the preview of the match and the reason behind picking the bet. My betting pick is total over 6.5 runs, odds: 1.518 which is available on Pinnacle.

Quick preview: Milwaukee has not looked good lately. In the last four, the Brewers have won just one victory, beating the Cardinals 6: 4. In general, the offensive line looks good and often tackles their tasks, but the defensive game needs to be improved. Blue Jays are second in the Eastern Division, winning 40 in 70 games. In addition, the area still needs to be maintained, as Boston and Tampa Bay are very close. Toronto is not at all successful in defense common mistakes and misses predicted by strikers usually bring opponents at least seven points. Reason: I think both teams are offensively good so total will be over.
