Looks like this is the end of this months predictions competition. Since I’m super close to losing (I think), might as well go for this risk.

SPIRIT ACADEMY VS TAKE AIM

Take Aim:

These players really had it all down yesterday beating Kyiv with a super close game. The only problem I see them having is how they suffer on certain maps (mirage, dust2, etc). Their players together as a team never really did it for them so this is their biggest weakness. Kill their push and it’s OVER! These players are not good at clutching or killing (being aggro) to even it out.

SPIRIT ACADEMY:

I haven’t seen this team in a while but they seem to be on a good run recently giving me more faith in them. They have defeated many teams except for ASTRALIS TALENT which is understandable. Players overall - really good currently. They can aim really well which helps them get the first kill.

 

PREDICTION:

SPIRIT ACADEMY TO WIN.

Junior games are inconsistent and unpredictable. Juding by how TAKE AIM did yesterday and their weakness along with SPIRIT’s strong passive playstyle. This match might go towards SA favor.

I’m with you on this one.

Spirit Academy has shown a lot of promise up until now. They defeated VP the same way Take Aim did but probably a lot finer. During that time VP was doing much better than they did against TA and yet still lost to spirit. This was because SPIRIT had all these strategies and tactics by cooperating as a team and peaking off each other contact which was really effective. Due to the aggressiveness in TA and effortless hold of spirit -

Spirit can easily break their formation and stop the rush. 

Spirit wins

Carlos Alcaraz rolled his ankle in the early stages of the second set, and it had a significant impact on his performance in the rest of the semifinal match against the first-time semifinalist Giulio Zeppieri. He allowed his opponent to level the match by winning the second set and later dropped his serve twice in the deciding set, 7-5 4-6 6-3.

Jannik Sinner also met the first-time semifinalist but he was able to get the job done quite easily in straight sets. Franco Agamenone settled his nerves and put in an improved performance in the second set but that wasn't enough to cause any damage (JS won 6-1 6-3).

Carlos Alcaraz leads 2-1 (1-0 on clay). Jannik Sinner got his first win in the matchup at Wimbledon a few weeks ago, but the Spaniard is a different beast on clay, and he will always be the favorite to beat the Italian on the dirt. Having said that, Carlos Alcaraz picked up a minor injury in the semifinal, and it is to be seen if it will affect his performance against a very capable Jannik Siner in Sunday's final.

 My bet: Carlos Alcaraz to win at 1.724 odds

Toronto VS Detroit

observation- So for the last pick of the month im going with the toronto game, with a combined ERA of 10 runs for the pitchers and a 9 runs per game average, the over here is looking like a easy hit. When it comes to batting Toronto is dominating in Batting averages and on base percentage, also Toronto has 130 homeruns. So far in this series between these two teams, Toronto won 2 out of the 3 and need the win tonight to win the series , if detroit wins the series will end in a tie. The last 3 games runs have not reached over 8 but i feel this game will pop off and the rus will be way over 8. 

Pitchers - Garrett Hill (Detrroit) -(21.0IP)(5.57ERA)(1.29WHIP)(9BB)                                                                                                                                                                         VS                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           José Berríos (Toronto)-(107.1IP)(5.20ERA)(1.37WHIP)(26BB)                                                                                                                                                                    =                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             ERA Average-5.33

Prediction-  over 10 at 2.4 (pinnacle) 

GOOD LUCK ALL ON THE FINAL RESULTS!!!

I will tell you this, it is always difficult to predict the final match because here psychology plays a role even more than usual. De Minaur’s match against Brooksby will be interesting. Brooksby for me is the favorite of this match, in terms of the game, if he doesn’t play weird and stoopid he will be able to take the title. No one will leave here without a fight, so I will bet on total more. They have not met yet each other head to head, both serve well, so the probability ofbreaks is not so high, they will take their own, maybe exchange sets. 
My betting pick will be Total over 21.5 games 1.6 odds.

I will pick my prediction from the match between Alex De Minaur and Jenson Brooksby

Pick: Jenson Brooksby will win at 1.73 odds

I will bet on Jenson Brooksby and Alex De Minaur, I will choose Brooksby's easy win. Minaur at the tournament shows the average level of the game, the serve does not fly very well, Mannarino and Ivashka took a set from him, Mannarino is now completely bad and it was surprising that Minaur gave him a set, before the final Minaur was not caught from really strong players and he naturally went to the title match. Brooksby had all 4 opponents really strong Peer MacDonald Isner (multiple champion of this tournament) and Tiafoe, he gave a set only to Isner and beat him without tiebreaks, in my opinion on such a fast court as in Atlanta Brooksby will defeat Minaur, who is more suitable for a slightly slower one hard as in Australia, Brooksby has a good serve much stronger than Minaur and he is not bad at the recieving serves too, he goes to the net a lot, I think it’s easy 2:0 in favor of the American.
