BRUGGE VS EYEBALLERS (CSGO)

Based on recent matches, they are very strong teams and can be considered to be one of the best their league in 3rd tier. Their recent match up together led to BRUGGE victory of 2-1, before that it was EYEBALLERS with a 2-1 all being very close games so they are equals. But here, the odds say that Eyeballers are the favourites by a landslide... why?
 

Im not sure but it must be due to their overwhelming one sided victories last 4 matches. The same can we said to BRUGGE but they often gave 1 map to their opponent showing how weak they are on certain maps.

My prediction would be for this to be another over 2.5 matches. Both teams are in top form and should win at their own map picks.

BRUGGE suffered a lot to get here while EYEBALLERS were playing much better. Better than they ever did before and can do well on every map unlike BRUGGE.

KYIV VS TAKE AIM

KYIV:

This Ukrainian team has been performing really well these last couple games and it’s really impressive considering how they were the underdogs rising to the top. Ranking 70th in the world, this team is constantly improving and it shows!

TAKE AIM:

Not a very well known team ranking beyond the 200th but that doesn’t mean they aren’t great. This Russian team has overtaken teams like VP and AVANGAR the last 2 games which was really unexpected.

MY PREDICTION:

I dont like predicting junior games but what can I do? 😞

TAKE AIM to win. They succeeded where KYIV didnt in beating VP recently and TA players had much bigger impact per round. Especially their MVP who has been absolutely dominating.

The match between Tiafoe and Brooksby promises to be tense, as for me, it is difficult to determine who will win. According to me, I like Tiafoe more. Brooksby, in turn, has never been reliable in betting, therefore he cannot overplay in any way and has been showing promise for a couple of matches. They had one head to head match a couple of years ago, Brooksby won there in straight sets. As of today, I'm leaning towards either a Tiafoe win or an overall top. I’ll still take the total due to the fact that Tiafoe’s game is more impressive and they both have a good serve, so they should have taken the upper hand. So picking Tiafoe. 
Betting tip: Tiafoe to win the match 2.230 odds.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers VS Calgary Stampeders

Observation- Winnipeg is in 1st place with a perfect 7-0-0 record in the west, up against Calgarys 4-1-0, which puts them in 4th overall in the west. Winnipeg is on fire, they have score 95 points in the last 3 games. The last time these 2 teams meet up, the score was 26-19 for winnipeg. Calgary is also on a heater with 80 points in the last 3 games. Calgary every time th are at home put up good numbers and since both teams together have 170 points in the last 3 games im assuming this game will go over .

QB's- Zach Collaros (winnipeg) Passing yards: 16,979 -Passing attempts: 2,104 -Passing completions: 1,383                                                                                       VS                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Bo Levi Mitchell (Calgary) Passing yards: 1299 -Passing attemps: 154 - Passing completions: 100

Both these guys can put the ball in the endzone, should be a high scoring game!

Prediction is OVER  46.5 at 1.92 (pinnacle )

Jenson Brooksby rallied from a set down to knock out the six-time (and defending) champion John Isner in the quarterfinal of ATP Atlanta, becoming only the first player to stop the former American #1 in the quarterfinal of this tournament in 11 attempts. John Isner fired 24 aces, but the ATP Atlanta debutant was still able to create eight breakpoint chances and convert three of them to secure the win, 3-6 6-1 6-4.

Frances Tiafoe defeated compatriot Brandon Nakashima for the fifth time in as many attempts (3-0 in 2022) to move into the semifinal of ATP Atlanta for the first time in six attempts. He received a bye in the first round and did not drop a set in the second round and quarterfinal against Taro Daniel and Brandon Nakashima, respectively.

Jenson Brooksby leads 1-0. Frances Tiafoe was able to keep things close when Jenson Brooksby was in a much better form and playing a lot better when they met in Washington (7-6 7-5) last year, and there is no reason why he can't do the same in Atlanta this week, provided he brings his A-game to the court.

 My bet: Frances Tiafoe to win at 2.280 odds

I will pick my prediction from the match between Tampa Bay and Cleveland Guardians

Pick: Tampa will win at 1.725 odds

The Tampa Bay Rays are looking to break out of their match and level up in their series against the Cleveland Guardians. The Rays are 3-7 in their last 10 games, but look to bounce back Saturday afternoon. The Guardians continue their pressure on the Minnesota Twins for the AL Central lead as they find themselves 1.5 games back. They are also 1.5 games back of the wild card spot behind the Tampa Bay Rays. This series actually has a pretty big impact on the wild card picture. Corey Kluber and Zach Plesac faced off in Game 2 of what could be a significant series for both teams. Both pitchers have had their issues, but it should be a good game. According to me Tampa will win.

This will be my pick for the competition. I will choose the match between Seattle Mariners and Houston Astros. 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 Houston Astros to win 1.531 odds which is available on Pinnacle

Seattle Mariners

1. Mariners pitcher Chris Flexen starts for the 20th time of the season.

2. Flexen was stellar in his previous start, limiting the Rangers to just two runs in six innings and was credited with the win to make his season record 7-8. 
3. The veteran right-hander is enjoying a dominant streak, posting a 1.61 ERA this month and posting a 3.75 ERA and 1.37 WHIP in 105.2 innings pitched on the season.
4. Flexen has limited the Astros to just seven runs in 24.2 innings this season and is 1-6 with a 4.87 ERA in eight career starts.

Houston Astros
1. Framber Valdez will make his 20th starter pitcher of the season. 

2. Valdez was able to limit the runs in his last start against this Mariners team, allowing three runs on eight hits in 6.2 innings and getting the win to improve to 9-4. 
3. The veteran right-hander has allowed two runs or fewer in five of his last six outings and has a 2.74 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in 121.2 innings of work. 
4. Valdez is a perfect 5-0 with a 1.64 ERA in eight career games against the Mariners.

Reason: Houston won the previous match very easily so I think they will continue this win streak.
