I will pick my prediction for match between Daria Kasatkina and Maria Sakkari

Pick: Daria Kasatkina to win @2.010

Daria Kasatkina pleases her fans throughout the season with an excellent game and successful results. After the semi-finals in Rome and at Roland Garros, the Russian tennis player has risen to 13th place in the WTA rankings and is trying to get into the top 10.
In Berlin, Daria played her first match on grass. Both fights against Kalinina (5-7, 6-3, 6-1) and Alexandrova (5-7, 6-1, 6-2) the Russian woman completed strong-willed victories in three sets.
Maria Sakkari had a powerful hard part of the season, but on clay she played below her capabilities. In four clay tournaments, she won only four matches. For the sixth rank of the world, this is an unsatisfactory result. Maria holds the second tournament on the grass. In Nottingham, she submitted to the quarterfinals, where a defeat was recorded from Haddad Maia (4-6, 6-4, 3-6). In Berlin , Sakkari went through the class without given sets Zhanzhan (6-3, 6-2) and Saville (6-1, 7-5).
I think Daria will win because in head to head, she defeated Sakkari 4 times.

Ok so, my last two predictions have been very disappointing with both the teams I chose for not playing as well as I expected. 

This time I will be analyzing the match of Cowana vs Strife.

Cowana is ranked between 90th-100th (not very consistent) in the world ranking. The team rarely performs at this level as they mostly play national tournaments. For the upcoming event, three newcomers joined the team together to improve as a whole.

Strife is ranked 58th in the world ranking and shows great results in recent months and is very consistent with winning their matches. However, in the recent match, they struggled a lot as a team to communicate and thus, lost to TYLOO with a 0-2.

This match feels like a 50/50 coinflip and there is no ‘clear’ favorite as everyone is really split on the decisions, though, Cowana is understandably favored for their performances against more solid opponents (they still lost).

I’m going to take another risk and go for Strife to win the first map.

finally on vacation "lets f go!" for today my choice will be:

MLB 

St louis vs Boston over 9.5 2.010

As this series starts up between these 2 teams of course they send out there best pitchers first game but not this time, with these 2 teams  the bats always fly. With the average runs per game per team is 5 each (so 10) i feel confident that  the 9.5 will be easy over especially because its game 1 in series . The last time they played it was a 5-4 game but that was a series deciding game this is just game 1 so swing away boys swing away .The batting stats show they are a  really matched up batting wise and both teams have hit over 60 homeruns this season so far. my prediction for the game is 9-7 for St louis, also did a weather check (which if your making a baseball bet always do!) its raining for the morning and sunny at game time so the moisture will make it harder to pitch and harder to field the ball so im sticking with the over!

This will be my pick for the competition. I will choose the match between Jack Sock and Jiri vesely
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 jack sock to win at odds 1.952
The 29-year-old Jack never managed to return to his previous level. After the injury, Jack significantly slowed down. Now he is no longer the formidable player who was once eighth rank of the world. Now Jack is ranked 129th in the ATP rankings. Last week, Jack managed to reach the semi-finals of the tournament in Nottingham. He will now play in the Ilkley quarterfinal. On the way to this stage of the competition, he defeated Michael Mmo and Daniel Mazur.
Vesely fired at the end of February when he reached the final of the tournament in Dubai. It seemed that he had finally found his previous level and would play much better. But that did not happen. Competitions in the UAE were the only bright spot in Jiri's performances in 2022.
In Ilkley Vesely has been lucky so far with rivals. He defeated Altug Celikbilek. After that, he also beat Hugo Grenier.
Reason: Jack is still performing much better on grass than Vesely. Jack looked good in Nottingham. Now he shows a similar game in Ilkley. I think Jack wins.

Football again and last night Sao Paulo let me down losing to a team 12 places below them, so today I will try Irish football. Bohemians Dublin V's Shelbourne, going Dublin to win at home @2.05 on Bet365.

                                                              

And my reasoning for this pick is not great apart from results in previous years, Shelbourne hate playing in Dublin and past performances have proven this. Shelbourne are on a good run as well winning their last 4 matches, Dublin have had a much worse run of late and are 1 place below Shelbourne in the table, so this doesn't bode well. Shelbourne do have some injury concerns which could prove to be the divisive factor in the end result of this game and it is what I am basing my bet on. Dublin have the home advantage and Shelbourne have a few players out with injuries. SO come on Dublin!
