Atlanta VS Washington

Prediction is over 10 at 2.48 

Atlanta is on a hot streak with 3 wins in a row as Washington is struggling with a 8 game loss. the last time these two played each other the score was 8-4 and seems both these teams can score on each other . The pitchers today have a era of 4 together but both these teams can hit well expecially atlanta. If the odds were higher id just pick atlanta to win i fell they will destroy them today. There batting ave are the same as they both lock in 9th in the league and both teams together have a total of 220 homeruns. Washington's pitching is really bad as they have a 6 era per game average and atlanta has a 3.5 runs per game average. Runs allowed per game totals 10 and runs per temas averages 9 so this game is going over id say by the 5th inning.

Pitchers - Max Fried = (112.1 IP)- (2.56 ERA)-(1.05 WHIP)-(20 BB) VS  Paolo Espino =(52.2 IP)-(3.42 ERA)-(1.23 WHIP)-(12 BB)

[Maniés]

Maxime Cressy rallied from a set down to knock out former champion Steve Johnson in the quarterfinal of ATP Newport, 6-7 6-4 6-4. His debut main-draw campaign here in 2021 ended in the quarterfinal, which means this is his best result in the only American grass-court event.

John Isner uncharacteristically wasted three consecutive match points in the second-set tiebreaker and needed nearly three hours to overcome the in-form Benjamin Bonzi in the quarterfinal this week, 7-6 6-7 7-6.

Maxime Cressy leads 1-0 (five-setter at the Australian Open 2022). Maxime Cressy does everything John Isner can do and has got more tricks in his bag, which makes this a nightmare matchup for the second seed. Maxime Cressy will start as the slight favorite based on current form, but John Isner's excellent record (unbeaten in ten matches) in the tournament cannot be taken for granted.

 My bet: Maxime Cressy to win at 1.806 odds

I like both of them. John Isner is king of aces and Cressy is comeback king.

Damn, how unfortunate it is for ASTRALIS to end here... Going against a team like NaVi is like a 99% loss. 

NaVi:

The greatest team in the world for a long time and that's no exaggeration! Each member of their roster gives impact to each game they play rarely ever faltering. S1mple is simply the best solo carry of CS:GO history. Team in their best form as always!

You can't go wrong betting on this team. Ranking #1 in the world, they are currently on a 7game win streak slaughtering all the strongest teams in their way by a sweep.

 

ASTRALIS:

ASTRALIS doesn't stand that much of a chance. They MIGHT be able to take 1 map but that's still very unlikely. As of right now, ASTRALIS is still not in their best form and struggles to take the easiest rounds even throwing some games that could've easily been in their favor.

On the side note, ASTRALIS shouldn't even be here! If it weren't for BlameF luckily killing the defuser who was like 0.01 second off defusing, MOUZ would be the one standing in the semi finals. So far, their performance has not been very consistent with a lot of up and downs, there is not much hope for this team in beating NaVi with the way they are.

 

MY PREDICTION:

With all that said, NaVi is the clear victor here. However, I want to believe in Astralis taking at least one map! In their last H2H game together, it was a very close match with a score of 2-1 (Last map being a 16-13) for NaVi. Given that ASTRALIS is able to perform their best today...

OVER 2.5 Matches for

Korona Kielce in the playoff matches has defeated two opponents. The final match against Chrobry Glogow turned out to be especially difficult, where they managed to get the victory only in extra time. Before the start of the season, the team played five friendly matches and managed to win only one.

Legia Warsaw failed miserably last season and was left without European cup. The team took the tenth rank in the table after 34 matches. Such a result was so bad for the club, which became the champion of their country 15 times. At the start of the current season, The club played five friendly matches before the start of the championship and won only two.

Legia Warsaw has a better squad, more achievements. Last season turned out to be a failure for them but this time they will play well.
Betting tip: Legia Warsaw wins 1.877 odds

I will pick my prediction from match between Jason Kubler and Alexander Bublik

Pick: Jason Kubler to win at 2.5 odds in bet365

Jason Kubler continues to show an excellent game. After a successful performance at Wimbledon, Kubler has every chance to reach the final of the competition in Newport. The most difficult fight for Kubler at the competition in Newport was with Felix Auger-Aliassime. Despite the defeat in the first set, he won the match. In the remaining matches, Jason beat Jordan Thompson in two sets and James Duckworth in two sets. Three years ago, Alexander Bublik already played in the final of the tournament in Newport. He could not become a champion then, as he lost to John Isner in the final match. Now Alexander can repeat his success. Still, in this tournament, he demonstrates an excellent game. Unlike Kubler, Bublik played two matches he managed to defeat Jack Sock in three sets. The quarter-final match was even easier. He defeated Andy Murray in straight sets. Picking Kubler because he can beat Bublik as Bublik shots can be so bad anyday. If his luck is with him, his shots are perfect.

This will be my pick for the competition. I will choose the match between New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox.
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 New York Yankees to win at 1.657 odds which is available on Pinnacle.

New York Yankees
1. Yankees have not been in the best form, as they got only one victory in six matches. 
2. The team had a three-match series with the Cincinnati Reds and won only one of them, got the victory in an extra inning with a score of 7:6.
3. Yankees performed at their home arena, where they showed their best side.
4. The team also had a match with the Boston Red Sox and again turned out to be weaker and lost (4:5).

Boston Red Sox
1. Boston has been in decline for a long time and still managed to break its losing streak, which reached four games. 
2. The team took on the New York Yankees on the away, winning by a narrow margin of one run. Until the very end of the fight, it was not clear who would be the winner, but the Red Sox earned a point in an extra inning.
3. At the moment, the team is ranked seventh in the American League table, having a winning percentage of 0.527.

Reason: Yankees is very strong team, just they are bit unlucky nowadays. Hope they win this match.
