The match is between Ben Shelton and Roman Saifullin.

=>Ben Shelton will win 1.74 odds

Ben Shelton is playing at his best. Ben Shelton reached the final after defeating Dmitri Popko, Billy Harris, Jordan Thompson and Gijs Brouwer in two sets. In the semifinals, Shelton won well in sets against Brouwer. During the match, Shelton scored 73 points to Brouwer's 53. Ben was extremely aggressive to knock down 29 winners. Shelton hadn't lost a set until now.Safiullin reached the final after defeating Mitchell Krueger in two sets Genaro Albert Olivieri in three sets Zachary Svajda in three setsand Radu Albot in two sets. In the semifinals, Safiullin won good sets against Albot. During the match, Safiullin scored 74 points to Albot's 64. Safiullin was exceptionally aggressive, knocking down 36 winners. But, I don't think Roman can beat Shelton. Invest veryyyyy high on this bet surely win.

With an equal betting odds for both of them, I think that the Steve Johnson has better chances for the following reasons. 
Johnson's current form is not bad at all. In Mexico, he lost only to top Felix Auger Aliassime. In Cincinnati, he beat Mannarino yesterday in two games. But Munar had a tough match against Connell. 
Plus a home court for Johnson. One match was played on hard - the Johnson won in two sets then. Hard should be more convenient for Jognson, his game is more powerful.

My betting Pick will be Steve Johnson win 1.980 oddw

NFL 

Minnesota VS Vegas 

Observation- So far in this preseason 12 out of 14 games went over and this will be Vegas's second game, in there first game they scored 27 points. The last time these two teams met the score was 34- 14 but that of course was regular season which in my mind is harder to score so todays over 37 should be a easy over. The Vikings  finished second behind the Green Bay Packers in the NFC North last season at 8-9. Last week's standout at running back for the Raiders was Zamir White, who carried a team-high 11 times for 52 yards. So with Vegas already playing a game and already warmed up they will have no issues scoring and Minn was a high scoring team last year and with some major additions on offence and also a new head coach i feel the over is a lock here.

prediction is over 37 for 1.92 Pinnacle

Preview of the match: Vandeweghe vs Pera 

According to the odds on pinnacle: 1.531 on Pera's win, I bet on her.

American derby in the WTA-125 finals at Concord. Generally speaking, there is always a local tennis player in the title match at these small tournaments in the US. This time there are two at once. The main intrigue of this match is that Bernarda Pera can win her third WTA title in a row! Bernarda took the titles in Budapest and Hamburg without losing a single set! In Concord, her winning streak without losing a set was interrupted by Russia's Anna Blinkova, who was very close to winning, but didn't serve for the match. Pera escaped and reached the final, then defeated her compatriots Volynets and Scott. Only Coco Vandeweghe can stop Bernarda now

 

Surface: Hard

 

Coverage speed: 5 out of 10

 

Current Vandeweghe rating: 192

 

Vandeweghe's win balance (2022): 18-13

 

Vandeweghe's win balance (hard): 7-2

 

Pera's current rating: 56

 

Pera's win balance (2022): 29-14

 

Pera's win balance (hard): 6-4

 

Statistical facts on Vandeweghe vs. Pera

Vandeweghe has won three of her last four matches in two sets.

 

Pera has won 16 consecutive matches.

 

Face-to-face meetings between Vandeweghe and Pera:

The score in the head-to-head encounter is 1-0. Pera won her only match 7-6, 2-6, 7-5 in 2020 in Adelaide on hard court.

 

Coco Vandeweghe - Bernarda Pera:

Coco Vandeweghe was recently in the top of women's tennis and was a dangerous opponent even at the Slams against the top ten. Now she's in the sunset of her career. She's 30 and numerous injuries are taking their toll. She's quite a big girl, so the strain on her knees is severe. She reached the Concord finals this week in two events at once, so she can do a winning double. To be fair, it will be extremely difficult for her to stop Pera. Beranard is more confident than ever, so she should take her third title and 17th straight match.

HOTU VS 00 PROSPECTS

HOTU:

Ranked 113th in the world, this team is destroying opponent after opponents and is currently on a 7 WIN STREAK. They are an impressive team that surpassed all expectations but one thing makes me worry: despite their success, they seem to be very weak when it comes to their strategy. They fail to make use of their grenades efficiently so when it comes to round changing moments, without grenades everything becomes really difficult but since they still won… i guess all is fine.

00 PROSPECTS:

Ranking 130th in the world, 00 has only been losing/winning back and forth trading games. They are not very consistent and would sometimes throw the game due to their mentality being so easily shattered.

MY PREDICTION:

In the past H2H match, it resulted in 00 PROSPECTS victory by a landslide. However, today will be very different considering how much better HOTU has been doing.

00 PROSPECTS TO WIN!

WHY? Don’t follow logic!

HOTU will eventually LOSE and 00 Is generally better than HOTU (it’s like rock paper scissors ~)

This will be my pick for the competition. I will choose the match between Botik Van de Zandshulp and Maxime Cressy. 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 Maxime Cressy to win 2.120 odds which is available on Pinnacle 

1. Botik Van de Zandshulp hasn't been that impressive currently. He lost in Washington in the third round and also lost in Montreal in the second round of the competition.  
2. Botic shown his best result this year on the clay courts of Munich. Van de Zandshulp scored nine victories and eight defeats on the hard courts this season. 
3. Maxime Cressy showed his best game this season on the grass. First, he reached the final in Eastbourne, where he lost to Taylor Fritz, and then won the competition in Newport, beating Alexander Bublik in the decisive match (2-6, 6-3, 7-6). 
4. After returning to hard court, Cressy managed to reach the third round of the tournament in Washington and last week left Montreal following the results of the second round, in which he lost to Gael Monfils in two tie-breaks.
