I was searching for a good match to bet and this match immediately caught my eye, they give 1.5 odds for Bayern, this often happens at the beginning of the season, this is a rare case when odds of this size are given for Bayern Munich. 
The first rounds are sometimes surprising regarding the results, I mean that the favorite may not beat the underdog, but it seems that this does not concern Bayern, the match for the Super Cup with Leipzig ended will be same for Frankfurt too, but it seems that Neuer and Coman will miss the game after looking the twitter without Coman there are plenty of wingers and Neuer is hard to replace, but I hope Frankfurt doesn't create goals for themselves. Since 2020, the teams have met 6 times, in 4 matches Bayern won, in 2 matches Eintracht won.

My betting pick will be Bayern Munich to win 1.53 odds.

MLB

Pittsburg VS Baltimore 

Observation- Pittsburg just swept Milwaukee in 3 straight games which is impressive seeing how Milwaukee is 57 wins and 48 loses and is first in the NL Central. In those 3 games Pittsburg scored 18 runs! Baltimore just swept Texas 3 games in a row as well scoring 21 runs in their 3 games, so both these teams are hot and scoring. The pitchers, Mitch Keller-Pittsburg-(101.0IP)(4.37ERA)(1.42WHIP)(37BB) against, Dean Kremer-Baltimore-(51.1IP)(3.86ERA)(1.40WHIP)(14BB), so both pitchers allow about 4 runs per game. The allowed runs per team is 5 for Pittsburg and 4 for Baltimore and with the hits allowed at a big 9+ each im feeling pretty good going the extra mile and going 9.5 instead of the set 8 runs. BOTH TEAMS + TOGETHER in LAST 3 GAMES =  39 runs ... The last time they played was in march and the score was 10-9 for baltimore. Another key point is both teams have 110 homeruns and Baltimore's Left Field Line – 333 ft (101 m) Straight Away which is quite a easy park to homer and dead center being around 400ft.  

Prediction is over (9.5) at (2.38) as quoted on pinnacle

I will pick my prediction from the match between Daniel Evans and Yoshihito Nishioka.

=> Yoshihito Nishioka will win at 2.09 odds.

Daniel Evans is lucky. His first opponent at the tournament in Washington was Kyle Edmund. Daniel beat him, giving him only three games. The next opponent of the him was Taylor Fritz. Evans could have lost that match, but taylor got injured and couldn't finish the match. So Daniel is very lucky, but not anymore now. Nishioka is well prepared for Washington. He is playing just outstanding In the first round, Nishioka defeat Jenson Brooksby, Yoshihito then defeat Alex De Minaura and Karen Khachanov. He is in Samurai Mode and I dont know why his odds so high still. He is surely winning this match.

They both have played 4 matches head to head and all wom by Nishioka surprise right? Hehe.. I am investing good amount on him lets hope for a win.

Premier League is back and just one match Friday night and that is Crystal Palace V's Arsenal, always a lot of pressure on the opening match for both teams and tonight won't be any different. One thing is for sure is that Arsenal will not want the same start to the season that they had last year! And Mikel Arteta will have drilled his squad hard about last season and he won't let it happen again. So my pick is Arsenal to win @1.85 on Bet365.

The last 5 matches between the two teams have been pretty even, both teams have won a game and drawn 3, so last seasons results do not give any clues but I think the new signings that Arsenal made in the summer have strengthened the team and they are now a class above Palace, Palace made no major signings in the summer window so I think Arsenal will come out on top. This is the Premier League though and no game is ever easy and anything can happen but I still think Arsenal are way too strong and should win by at least 2+ goals.

ATP Washington USA, stadium Citi Open tennis match: Holger Rune - John Wolf.
At pinnacle odds: 1.900 on the victory of John Wolf.

1) In this contest of the 1/8 finals of the Washington Championships the expert primer will fight a universal player. And we can immediately state that the opponents are incredibly motivated to achieve a positive result.
2) HOLGER RUNE: PLAYER OVERVIEW
Rune came out with a resounding 6-3;6-2 defeat to the heavily regressed Benoit Paire. Thanks to this success, Holger's long winless streak came to a happy end. However, he is unlikely to achieve more great results for several reasons. First, the functional state of the Danish representative still raises some concerns. And secondly, he has never felt comfortable on a hard surface.
3) JEFF WOLF: A PLAYER OVERVIEW
Wolf got off to a flying start at home, first completely decimating Taro Daniel (6-2;6-3) and then beating Denis Shapovalov (6-2;6-7;6-3) in a hard-fought battle. The points scored here will allow John to gain a little bit of a foothold in the top 100 tennis players in the world. So now he will surely concentrate on more global tasks. The American has never claimed titles at prestigious competitions, but now things are slowly shifting from the dead point.
4) In this matchup a strong preference should be given to Wolff. John is slowly gaining confidence in his abilities, and we're counting on him to make it to the next round. A win for the American is the most optimal way to go into the fight.
 My prediction is to bet on John Wolf to win.

In 1 hour, two completely new and UNKNOWN teams will be facing against eachother in the South America League for CSGO! I have no idea why betting is even allowed for this and why its so favored towards 1 side than the other…

HOMELESS VS PRIMA T

Unranked and players are unknown (TBD). This is a very scary game to bet on but if there’s anything… PRIMA T to win!

Why? Higher odds = greater chance of winning for games like these.

This will be my pick for the competition. I will choose the match between Daniil Medvedev and Miomir Kecmanovic 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 under 21.5 games 1.96 odds which is available on Pinnacle.

1. Medvedev is rank 1 in men's tennis ranking. Daniil Medvedev in the quarterfinal match with Richardas Berankis, he beat him with a score of 6:2, 6:2. 
2. In terms of winning percentage on hard, he is close to big legends Murray, Nadal, Djokovic and Federer. But Daniel still has a long way to go.
3. He also beat Rinky Hijikata (6:3, 6:4).
4. Miomir Kecmanovic did not have any problems in the first two matches with Jordan Thompson and Brandon Nakashima both matches ended with the same score 6:4, 6:2.
5. Miomir also playing very well but I think he will loose to Medvedev as Medvedev is beast in fast hard courts.
