Toronto vs Baltimore over 8.5 (2.00)whos ready for a slug-feast! as the jays come off a series win off detroit their bats are hot 🔥 Baltamore is on a 2 game winning streak and these 2 teams butt heads. the stats are simple toronto is dominating in almost every catagory it would be simble to say the jays will win but these 2 teams, it really could go either way. I believe its going to be a all out homerun derby (lol). So im going with the over( 8.5) and locking down at even( 2.00) (as quoted from pinnacle) Also looking at toronto at home percentage - they are 18 wins away and 10 wins at home so they loss alot of runs  in at home . The pitcher for baltamore has a 7 run average runs let in per game so the jays will be letting the balls fly. To be fair, the jays are putting up their best pitcher with a 1.8 runs allowed per game but never really goes deep into games and with the jays batting  ave. they will make up the differance, may even be the jays get the over themselfs.The last time they played each other the score was 12-4 for toronto- i fell around the same outcome for the game today!

Today, I am going to pick Denmark for the win against Austria. 
Match preview: head to head Denmark won 4 times out of 4 matches, which shows a 100% record. This is the main reason I am picking this bet.
Denmark in this UEFA Nations League got a win against France(1-2), win against Austria(1-2) and a 0-1 loss to Croatia. This is impressive because Denmark won both the away matches. This time the Denmark will be in home stadium, so confidence level will be higher. Austria on the other hand, in UEFA Nations League, got a win against Croatia (3-0), after which they were defeated by Denmark(1-2) and drew with France (1-1). Ty JoshThomas for preview posted in forum.
Denmark has already defeated Austria on their home ground, so it's more obvious that Denmark should win in this match. 
Pick: Denmark to win @1.8 odds on pinaccle

Another bunch of shock results in the Nations league last night and again this tournament is proving impossible to predict. Switzerland earned their first win of the competition yesterday evening with a 1-0 win over Portugal and it is fair to say that Switzerland are Portugal's bogey team. Switzerland have now won 6 out of their last 7 meetings against the Portuguese and drawn 1. I don't think any other team has a better record against Portugal than the Swiss. So it was probably a bad bet to back Portugal but you live and learn, well you would think that you would but alas I am having another go backing France to beat Croatia tonight @1.50

This is the shortest odds I have played in the picking contest and it is right on the line for minimum odds for entry. If France don't win tonight at these odds I will for ever hang my head in shame. The French drew with Croatia in the away match in the Nations League but now have the home advantage and it is fair to say Croatia are not playing well. In the previous 2 meetings between these two before this competition France have won them both and tonight at these odds they must win right?

Well one thing is for sure and I keep saying this is that this competition is proving extremely difficult to predict and in all honesty I wish it was not running now so I could bet on something else 😄

Masonic and 777 will meet on round 4 for the ongoing Elisa Invitational Spring 2022 tournament today in 1 hour. During this time, both teams have won 1 and lost 2 matches and would need 2 more wins to get into the playoffs. 

Both teams have players that are veterans in CS and have been in the scene for a really long time. This will be a tough match between the two and it is likely to go iver 2.5 maps. 
Team 777 has the better track record in the last 30 days with a higher win rate than Masonic. 777 is currently ranked 121 in the world while Masonic is ranked 50.

With the recent performances and statistics, both teams seem to be evenly matched and both have their strengths and weaknesses. Im going to put my money on Masonic on taking the win. Though, they have lost a match against 777 in the past, im hoping they can finally beat them this time after all the fights with A-tier teams they have gone through.

This will be my third pick for the competition. I will choose the match between Iceland and Israel
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 both team to score at odds 1.714 which is available on Pinnacle.
A complete preview is already posted on the forum.
Quick preview: In the new UEFA Nations League, Iceland played a draw with Israel, after that they played a draw again with Albania (1-1). Iceland beat San Marino (1-0) in the 3rd match and for Israel the start of the new season of UEFA Nations League brought a draw with Iceland and an away win with Albania (2-1). Before this upcoming match, Israel led the standings, ahead of Iceland by two points. 
Reason to pick: I believe that both teams have serious attacking potential and are able to please with an abundance of scoring chances. In addition, in all head-to-head matches, all were high scoring.
