BRUGGE VS VP.PRODIGY

In BRUGGE I trust, they are just doing so good recently. Beating teams like Paloma and Eyeballers simply shows how prepared and improved they are from back then. They are on top form and has been hitting headshots really well, however the only thing I’m concerned about is their Defense. The failure to hold pushes is their greatest weakness.

VP has also been doing well, maybe even better. Currently on a 4 win streak, they too have defeated eyeballers, ungentium and kyiv. On the same level as BRUGGE with both teams equally fragging as much. 
I predict this match will go in BRUGGE favour as they are the one who have shown me how great their aim is.

After two failed attempts in 2019 (R1) and 2021 (R1), Corentin Moutet opened his account in the main draw of ATP Umag by defeating Daniel Altmaier in the first round of this edition, 6-4 6-2. It was his third consecutive straight-set win of the campaign as he made easy work of Nino Serdarusic and Matija Pecotic in the qualifying stages over the weekend.

Facundo Bagnis also got his first main-draw win in ATP events in over five months by defeating compatriot Tomas Martin Etcheverry in the first round of ATP Umag this week. Like his opponent Corentin Moutet, the Argentine has won plenty of matches on clay this year (20), but most of them have come on the Challenger circuit.

Facundo Bagnis leads 1-0 (7-6 6-1 in Santiago Challenger 2018). This is an excellent opportunity for both players to make a rare quarterfinal appearance on the main tour, as both are equally capable of beating each other on clay but today i have my bet put on Facundo Bagnis.

 My bet: Facundo Bagnis to win at 2.460 odds

Elfsborg team is in a serious decline, because the team has not won a single match from last five matches they played and has suffered three defeats in a row. In the last meeting, they lost at home to team Kalmar. Definitely the club needs to make some changes in their game, otherwise this team is going to move to bottom of their leaderboard.

Molde team is playing good, team is confidently leading its national championship and is in amazing form. Four wins in a row and a long period of time the club goes without defeat - 15 matches. The team plays very brightly in attack and enjoys its own game.

Betting tip: Molde woll win the match at 2.49 odds.

Philadelphia Phillies VS Pittsburgh Pirates

Observation- today im choosing Philly to win as Pittsburge has lost 3 games in a row and losing 8 out of the last 10 games. They've been especially bad hitting against righties, posting a truly miserable .254 over the last 200 plate appearances. Pittsburge pitcher is having issues as well, Zach Thompson has 5.07 ERA over the last 30 days. In that time, he's walked nearly as many batters as he's struck out. He's also allowed a ton of hard contact, with only two of Thursday's projected starters giving up more. Philadelphia should frequently be able to get good wood on the ball against Thompson, which should lead to more than enough run support for Wheeler. Zack Wheeler (philly's pitcher) isn't exactly what the doctor ordered for a team struggling at the dish. Although he hasn't been as untouchable over the last month, his numbers are still strong across the board. Wheeler's struck out nearly eight batters per nine, walked just over one per nine, and allowed hard contact only 24% of the time.

Predtiction is philly to win at 1.53 as seen on pinnacle.

I will pick my prediction from match between Cincinati Reds  and Miami Marlins

Pick: Cincinati Reds  to win at 1.76 odds in pinnacle.

The Reds won two of the first three games of this series. The Marlins are now 46-52 overall and their offense has struggled. The Marlins have scored just five times in their last two games combined. The Marlins offense ranked 24th in the league with 4.01 runs scored per game. Jesus Aguilar has 39 RBI and 11 home runs. The Reds have won three of their last four games and are 38-59 overall. The Reds have scored just six total runs in their last two games, yet it was enough to win one of the games. The Reds earned run average as a team is 4.38, which ranks them 17th in the league. With 19 home runs and 57 RBI this season, Brandon Drury is doing well. Graham Ashcraft, who starts for the Reds, is 4-2 with a 4.70 ERA. In his last start against St. Louis Cardinals pitched 4.2 innings, allowing seven hits and four runs. The Reds are 1-5 in their last six games played during Game 4 of the series.  Despite his rough start, Ashcraft hasn't played badly this year and is currently 4-2. The Marlins offense also struggled mightily, averaging just 4.01 runs per game in the game. I think Cincinnati Reds are in good form so they will win.

Oxygen Academy vs SONIQS

OA:

Ranking 14th in NA, this valorant team so far has performed far past anyones expectations racking up like 90% winrate in the past 30 days (Take a look at their matches… it’s so GREEN!). Honestly, never thought this team would make it this far, probably one of the best upcoming teams out there.  Each and every one of their players give impact making it so rare to see any mistakes that would cost them a round as the other would cover their backs…

 

SONIQS:

RANKED 12

Although not doing as well, this team still continues to outshine their opponents. The players seem to be very motivated and have a tough mentality so it is not easy to break their momentum or even cause them to tip off just the slightest! With each failure, they continue to learn and implement new tactics into each new round for their victory. This team is really big brain!

MY PREDICTION:

over 2.5 matches… both teams are really good and it is hard to say which will win. The safest bet would be over 2.5+ matches as they are great at their own map picks!

This will be my pick for the competition. I will choose the match between Boston Red Sox and Cleveland Guardians. 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 Cleveland Guardians to wim 1840 odds which is available on Pinnacle

Boston Red Sox
1. Boston has been in decline for a long time, and in 13 games the team managed to get only two wins. 
2. The team is experiencing serious problems with the formation, which affects the game of the team as a whole.
3. Boston is facing hard teams against them. Its getting difficult for them to win.

Cleveland Guardians
1. Cleveland had a long away streak that reached nine games. 
2. It is worth noting that the team showed excellent results, having suffered only three defeats from the Chicago White Sox (4:5 and 3:6) and Boston (1:3).
3. In other matches with the Red Sox having won two with a score of 8:3 and 7:6, respectively.
4. At the moment, the team is on the seventh rank in the table, with a winning percentage of 0.515.

Reason: I think Cleveland will win as Boston is looking bit unstable nowadays.

OA VS SONIQ DELAYED BY 4 DAYS

So onto the least exciting match up 😞

TEAM BRAVE SOLDIERS VS REIGN

Both are in a tight spot constantly losing and rarely ever able to win against an established team. Their only wins are with amateurs so it is quite the sad sight to see. Although I do not know much about these (lack of info) two considering they were just recently made. REIGN has the advantage by having higher wins and better individual stats.

MY PREDICTION:

Take the risk here and go for the BRAVE SOLDIER win. They won against Reign last month at 2:0 so I am hoping for them to do it again despite them being in a worse position than REIGN.
