MLB 

NY Yankees VS Cleveland Guardians

Observation- im going with the same game as last night but it was postponed due to rain to today  so mainly what i said yesterday but now with a extra day it favores the yankees more and the odds are a even 2.5 (bet365) for Cleveland. Still sticking to what i said yesterday that the yankees can't win against them unless Cole is pitching and if anything i believe the extra day off give cleveland more of a advantage because this will be a hitting game not pitching game and there batters got rest and also most Yankee batters have been struggling and with a day off may throw them off even more. so guess with the push yesterday really need cleveland to pull threw here lol 

Prediction is Cleveland to win at 2.50 (bet365)

APEKS REBELS VS FURIA ACADEMY (WePlay Academy League season 6

OKAY. Could this be another free odd...??

 

APEKS REBELS:

At the bottom of the group play leaderboard, this team has lost 5 TIMES in a row to 5 different teams, hell, this team only plays in WePlay tourneys and placing in the bottom 5 in every single one.

Each player has a KD between 0.8-0.9 and shows no signs of improvement no matter how much time you give them. 2 months? Still losing incredibly hard, LETS GO APEKS!

Form is still in the dumps maybe worse in comparison to the others...

The only 'GOOD' thing about this team is how much time they spent together as core members. So this means they're experienced...? (4months + 1 year IGL)

 

FURIA ACADEMY:

A much better team. More consistent. Better players. They are one of the best when it comes to team coordination. No way they can lose this...

So far in this tournament, FURIA academy is second to last only because they have only played 3 games compared to the others going as far as 6-7. They won against OG academy but lost miserably to MOUZ NXT (concerning) and FLAMES ASCENT.

BUT THIS IS NOT WORRING! You see, in those 3 games, FURIA has their coach as a stand in while their best player - zmb was taking time off for personal reasons.

Now that he is back, the core team is now together once again destroying opponents like last season!

THEY currently have the advantage over everything else compared to APEKS and is MUCH much more experienced. 

zmb has been playing for 1 years and 7 month.

Each player is performing decently so it is expected they will win fairly easily against APEKS.

 

MY PREDICTION:

GREAT ODDS FOR FURIA ACADEMY. With zmb back, there is no way they are losing! NOT to apeks!

$100 in.

Furia Academy to win

Marc-Andrea Huesler x Francisco Cerundolo

Marc-Andrea Hueser played his first-ever championship match on the main tour in an indoor event in Sofia last month and converted it into his maiden ATP title by upsetting Holger Rune in straight sets. He defeated three top-50 players in that campaign, including the reigning Montreal Masters champion Pablo Carreno Busta and ATP Hamburg champion Lorenzo Musetti.

Francisco Cerundolo has proved himself on all surfaces so far in 2022, and he recently made his mark on indoor hard courts by defeating Manuel Guinard in the first round of ATP Gijon last week. He had played only one match on the surface in his career before this month, and that was at the Challenger level back in 2019.

Superior ability and experience on indoor hard courts make Marc-Andrea Huesler the deserved favorite, but Francisco Cerundolo has delivered results across all surfaces in these ten months, and he should have a fair chance in this battle.

 My bet: Above 2.5 sets

I am doing rubbish this month way too many short odd picks losing and it seems to keep on happening, not meant to be I guess. Anyways I am picking a Premier league match tonight and the two matches being played are not easy ones to pick. I am going for the Palace V's Wolves match and I am going for a home win. I can tell when choosing this one I am not certain of it and it is more of a punt. Palace have the home advantage and are in a better league position, Wolves are just above the relegation zone and will be looking to move away but I think Palace will win, so my pick for tonight is Crystal Palace win @2.25 on Bet365

=> As Monaco win 1.96 odds

I think that Monaco is one of the most productive teams in the Euroleague. Tel Aviv does not look bad in games against the teams of its league, but still they consistently concede under 80. Monaco will try to play the first number through the attack and it is unlikely that Maccabi will be able to show a high level of defense throughout the match. Monaco 7 wins in last 7 matches. Home or away, no matter who to take out - this is now Monaco. The French are definitely aiming for at least the Euroleague semi-finals and will win to every game.

Arroz vs Impulse Valorant Match

Arroz is heavily favoured because they have won 4 times in a row against many strong teams like FTO Evo as well as defeating Impulse 13-5 just last week. 
 

As of right now, it seems that Arroz is at the top of their game and all members have been playing beyond what they did last month, this would make it very difficult for a team like Impulse who have been suffering a lot lately failing to close out their games and making a lot of failed choices. Just by looking at stats alone, it is clear that Arroz has the upper hand in every category justifying further that the victory is almost guaranteed to be theirs.

For this, I would recommend betting on over 19.5 rounds because even though Impulse has been losing a lot. They are very good at keeping up with their opponents and is constantly changing strategies. They are able to get their games into overtime’s very often and for this match, there is even a chance they can finally win if Arroz slips up.

over 19.5 for 1.89

1. The finalist of last season will try to repeat their achievement again, and possibly surpass it. To do this, in the offseason, an attempt was made to strengthen the team. The Celtics managed to sign Malcolm Brogdon, Danilo Galinari, Blake Griffin and Justin Jackson.
2. However, it was not without problems. The fact is that the Boston head coach was removed from managing the team. He violated the club's code by starting an office romance. Joe Mazzula will serve as interim mentor.
3. In the off-season, Philadelphia was not particularly active in the transfer market. The Sixers made all the reinforcements at the end of last season, so they were busy playing the lineup. The team from Pennsylvania pleased with the result in the pre-season matches. Joel Embiid and his team won all four fights.
4. Philadelphia comes fully armed to the match with Boston. There are no losses in the Sixers.

Bet: Philadelphia win

Odd: 2.360

The Islanders will play their third home game this season. The last game was a 7-1 victory over the young and fast Anaheim. The team plays tough hockey and it looks like it would be hard for anyone to play against them, at least away. The Islanders have a good goalkeeping line. Attack, having scored 7 in the last match, clearly feels great. San Jose lost all 4 matches this season with a goal difference of 6-14, and if the first two were in the World Series, then the last two were at the home arena. San Jose ranked 13th in the West last season in away games. I think that San Jose will want to get the first victory but Islanders will be very tough for them unfortunatellyy, 

My betting pick will be New York Islanders 1.546 odds.
