Athletic Bilbao vs Mallorca 

Prediction: under 2.5

odds: 1.97

I view that athletic bibao look set to create enough chances to score more than one when they face Mallorca who may well find it hard getting goals. Therefore anticipating a controlled 2-0 margin for Athletic Bilbao after 90 minutes 

H2H

A glance at their prior h2h clashes dating back to 15/12/2012 tell us that athletic bilbao have won 4 of them and Mallorca 1 with thr tally of drawn games standing at 1.

JANO VS KOVA

JANO:

Ranked 80th in the world, this team has a 75% winrate this season and has absolutely been dominating hence why they are the favorite this match. However, there are some times they do slip up… anyways, players are in top form and is on fire, it would be quite difficult for KOVA to beat them!

KOVA:

Ranking 83 in the world, their last match was against JANO which they lost a terrible defeat of 0-2. One of their players who did REALLY bad is luckily swapped out for this match so the outcome would be very different.

 

MY PREDICTION:

KOVA’s substitute is pretty good and JANO is known to slip many times.

RISKY bet but KOVA can win this! With the proper teamwork, KOVA will take their revenge against JANO.

Match will be between Leylah Fernandez and Ekaterina AlexandroVa 

=> Leylah Fernandez will win the match 1.714 odds.

Leylah Annie Fernandez took a long break. She completely missed the grass court matches of the season and returned to the tour only a week ago in Toronto at home competitions. The return cannot be called successful in the second round, she lost to Haddad Maia in two sets. In Cincinnati, Fernandez will perform only the second time in his career. A year ago, she was able to qualify, but in the first round of the main draw she lost to Alison Riske in two sets. Ekaterina Alexandrova did not perform on the tour for more than a month. She was in no hurry to switch to hard after the grass part of the season. The tournament in Cincinnati will be her first on this clay. On local courts in the United States, Ekaterina performed three times in her career. The results are not the most outstanding - only once she managed to clear first round.

A very interesting tennis match at cincinnati gives us equal betting odds giving advantage to Diego, who is higher in class and rating, but despite the fact that he still plays in the top 20 lately, he has not been very convincing after Roland Garros more than one victory at the same time, he doesn’t win even at tournaments in bastad and hamburg on his favorite ground, in a word, he is now in decline, plus fast hard court is not the best for him, and the opponent Alex Molcan has rapidly added in a couple of years and is now on the move in the ranking at its maximum and of course wants to return the favor for the defeat last year at the grand slam in the United States in such a situation, I would risk choosing a victory of Alex Molcan.

My betting pick Alex Molcan 2.27 odds

Tennis Match prediction: Emil Ruusuvuori vs JJ Wolf
According to the odds at pinnacle: 1.813 for a total of more than 22.5, I bet on it.

Preview of the match:
Emil Ruusuvuori and Jeff Wolf will make their debut in the main draw of the Cincinnati Masters with a face-off in the 1/32 finals. The Finn has managed to win his opening match at all eight hard-court tournaments along the season (AO does not count). Will this epic streak come to an end?

Coverage: Hard

Coverage speed: 8 out of 10

Current Ruusuvuori rating: 44

Ruusuvuori's win balance (2022): 32-24

Ruusuvuori's win balance (hard): 14-9

Current Wolf rating: 84

Wolf's win balance (2022): 31-20

Wolf's win balance (hard): 20-11

Statistical facts on Ruusuvuori vs Wolf:
Ruusuvuori has won nine of his last ten matches against wild-card holders.

Wolf has won six of his last ten games against higher-ranked opponents.

Ruusuvuori vs Wolf:
No face-to-face meetings.

Emil Ruusuvuori vs Wolf:
Ruusuvuori is having a good season, as his overall progress has even spread to non-profile ground and grass. And so we're talking about a pro hardcore player who's had quite a few great wins this season, losing exclusively in wrestling. The only exception was the match against Altmaier, but that was a Challenger. By the way, after grass and clay, the Finn played five meetings and has already completely adjusted to the hardcourt.

Wolf has really impressed at tournaments in Acapulco, Indian Wells and Miami, although he has been frankly lucky with the net in terms of names and basically players in terrible shape. In part, the recent performance in Washington is of the same series: Shapovalov and Rune are categorically bad here and now.

Wolf, though he broke into the top 100, frankly, doesn't seem like he'll stick around. He plays too monotonously, and in general he's more dependent on the bite. Even at the Challenger level he didn't really stand out. Ruusuvuori is a much better class, even taking into account his younger age. The Finn also plays with power, but his tennis is more accurate and aggressive, so the American is trivial in terms of speed in a rally.

MLB 

Tampa VS New York

Observation- well today my pitcher takes the mound again thats right Gerrit Cole for the yankees tobe fair he has not been on his game as of late, he is going against Jalen Beeks for tampa. Both these pitchers have a combined ERA 2.7, Gerrit cole with 3.3 and Jalen Beeks with a 2.3, this game will be a pitching matchup. The over under is set at 7 but with the yankees batting its hard to say under 7 so im going a little higher at 8.5 for 1.58. The runs allowed per team is 3.4 and 4 still below the 8.5 and both these pitchers going alot of inning per game so they will be in ill the 6th or 7th thn there closers will pitch who again are really good pitchers. There on-base percentage for both teams are tied at 20th in the league. The last time these 2 teams played the score was 5-4 and the pitching was not as strong as the game tonight is so i feel confident in the under. Another key fact is Tampa is on a 2 game winning streak and this is game 1 of the series between these 2 and the first game winner normally is the winner in the series so both teams want a win here which is why both teams top pitchers are up!

Prediction is under 8.5 at 1.58 pinnacle

This will be my pick for the competition. I will choose the match between Karen Khachanov and Sebastian Korda. 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 Sebastian Korda to win 1.787 odds which is available on Pinnacle 
 
1. Karen Khachanov had a pretty good grass part of the season. In 's-Hertogenbosch and Halle, he managed to reach the quarterfinal stage of the competition. 
2. After returning to hard court, Karen lost in Washington following the results of the third round, and then lost in the second round of Montreal to Marin Cilic (3-6, 2-6).  
3. In Cincinnati last season, Khachanov lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime (7-6, 3-6, 4-6). 
4. Sebastian Korda showed a good result on the courts of Washington, where he managed to reach the quarterfinals, in which he lost to Mikael Ymer (2-6, 7-6, 3-6). 
5. According to the season, Korda has ten wins on hard with seven losses. Sebastian showed his best result this year on the clay courts, where he managed to reach the semi-finals, in which he lost to Francis Tiafoe (6-4, 6-7, 4-6).
