06:00 Gold Coast Titans v Newcastle Knights

Under 45.50

Total Points

50 WIN

@2.00

Lose

-50

I thought the line may be in the 40.5-42.5 range so 45.5 is tempting. Gold Coast only score around 14 points on avarage in home games. Admittedly they do concede a few but Knights dont look the side to rack up points against them. Knight last 3 games have all gone under with totals of 34,22 and 32. On the orad they are averaging 16 points a game so under looks the call
03:10 CIN Reds @ LA Dodgers

LA Dodgers

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.53

Win

26

Reds Pitcher Frankie Montas has pitched solidly at home but has been battered away and allowed far too many walks. Against the best hitting side in the Dodgers he could be in trouble. Dodgers pitcher Paxton has had more walks than strikeouts but despite that is 5-0 record with a 2.58 ERA. But ultimately Dodgers hitting will be the difference
01:30 NY Knicks @ IND Pacers

@1.91

Win

46

Pacers were awful last tme getting beat 121-91. They managed just 72 field goal attempts and were beaten 20-5 in offensive rebounds. They are much better than thatand have generally responded to a poor offensive effort in a big way this season. I'd expect a big total today perhaps in the 120 mark which should see this go over
01:15 BOS Red Sox @ STL Cardinals

Under 8.00

Game Totals

50 WIN

@1.91

Lose

-50

Cardinals have struggled for runs at home with just 57 runs so far. Their games at home have gone under in 11 of their 17 games. Only three of Bostons last 15 games have gone over this total and with two in-form pitchers on show and a quality Boston bullpen, under looks the call.
00:40 OAK Athletics @ KC Royals

KC Royals

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.57

Win

28

Royals have quietly gome about putiing together an impressive home record winning 15 of their 23 games. Oakland are clearly one of the weaker sides in the league and come into this having lost 5 on the trot. The A's pitcher Spence is recorded as having a 3-1 win ratio this season but thats misleading he doesnt pitched many innings. He pitched 4 innings just once and gave up 4 earned runs I dont expect him to last too long
00:20 SD Padres @ ATL Braves

ATL Braves

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.50

Lose

-50

Max Fried pitches for the Braves who is a quality pitcher. He struggled against the Dodgers but many teams do. In his other three starts he pitched 22 innings and didnt give up a single earned run. Waldron for the Padres has a 1-5 but probably isnt as bad as that record would suggest as he has had some tough games. However Braves have a clear pitching edge. With the Braves bats hotting up I can see them distancing the Padres

Two solid defensive sides with quality keepers so its a surprise to see the first three games go over. However things have calmed down with 5 and 3 goals in the next couple. In the crucial sixth game Im expecting a tight cagey affair

-50

Valence Romans have been a great side for the overs of late with their last five games containing 77,51.59,80 and 55 points. They face Colomiers who have scored 647 points and conceded 634 so Im expecting points in this one.
20:00 Mont de Marsan v Rouen

Rouen 12.50

Handicap

50 WIN

@1.80

Win

40

Mont de Marsan have dropped out of the promotion play off places thanks to a poor run of results. They have to rely on bettering Brives result today to climb back in but that looks tough. Opponnets Rouen are bottom but have shown fighting spirit winning 7 of their last 11. I dont see Mount De Marsan running away with this

@2.05

Win

52

Skenes has a big reputation but on his only start for the irates he was less than impressive. Coincidentally that was against the Cubs where he struggled and was pulled after 4 innings. The Cubs will know exactly what to expect from him. He throws a very fast ball but when the Cubs connect they can hit him hard. Cubs pitcherHendricks hasnt impressed with three loses to date. I tink both pitchers will be hit taking this over
15:00 Mumbai Indians vs Lucknow Super Giants

Lucknow Super Giants

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.20

Win

60

Mumbai have started as favourites in the vast majority of their games which is pretty amazing given their record of just 4 wins from 13 games. Lucknow havent had a great campaign and can plod along too slowly. They have been quiet adept at ekeing out wins in close games and did just that last month when beating the Indians. I think they look thevalue

@1.83

41

Milan is top dog in the Giro powering to victory in the last sprint. There doesnt look an awful lot of competition to him with many of the riders constatntly getting it wrong at the finish. Milan always gets in the right pace and the big man's powere is simply too much for the rest
08:05 Hurricanes v Moana Pasifika

Hurricanes -27.50

Handicap

50 WIN

@1.91

Lose

-50

Hurricanes have lost just twice this season against quality sides Blues and Brummies who sit first and third. They should find this a far easier taks against a poor Moana Pasifika side. Hurricanes have a 100 percent home record and blew awayMoana by 49 points last season. I see another big victory

Two of the top six scorers in the regular season and when they mmet in Vancouver the total has gone over. The two play off games ended 3-4 and 5-4 and the regular season game ended 8-1. With the pre-season game also going over, over looks the call

23:40 NY Mets @ PHI Phillies

PHI Phillies

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.73

Lose

-50

Mets pitcher Quintana faced the Phillies twice last season for a total of 10 innings. He was battered giving up 10 runs. He has struggled this season with a 1-4 record and will struggle once more to contain the Phillies. Phillies start pitcher Walker who was impressive last time giving up just one run. He is 3-0 on the season. Phillies total of 232 runs is bettered only by the Dodgers so I think they have too much fire-power and can get the sweep.
20:30 Almeria v Barcelona

Over 2.50

Total Goals

50 WIN

@1.35

Lose

-50

Two of the best sides inthe league for over 2.5 with Barcelona games going over on 21 occasions out of 35 and Almeria 23 form 35. Barcelona may probably get the bulk of the goals but they have conceded 9 in their last 4 games so Almeria who have scored in their last 5 can add to the scoring

@2.05

Ynkees have won four of their last six meetings against the Twins. They have wo both games so far by 4 with the Twins managing to score just one run off them. Their pitcher tonight Schmidt ahs performed well on the roadwith an ERA of under 2 from his 3 starts. Twins pitcher by contrast has struggled at home. With Yankees hitting the ball bettere and having the better bullpen I prefer them

If its a good batting wicket Sunrisers are hugely impressive scoring big totals at a fast rate. There is plenty of incentive to win his as they can jump to second with the win. Titans are the slowest scoring in the tournament and simply cannot live with the batting prowess of the Sunrisers

Michael Valgren

25 EW

@26.00

Lose

-50

This looks a trickier coure than the categories would suggest with quiet a few bumps along the way so I dont think many sprinters will fancy it. The GC guys certainly wont; so Im not sure who will want to chase the break. Valgren caught the eye on stage 2 where he got in the break and was just out-sprinted finishing second. He looked impressive on the hilly stage 10 where he kept up with the climbers for a long way suggesting his legs are good. I think he goes for the win again.
02:30 DAL Mavericks @ OKC Thunder

OKC Thunder

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.60

Lose

-50

In their last game I pointed out that The Thunder had regressed badly in offensive rebounds since the opening game. In the game against the Mavericks which they lost 105-101 they won just 6 offensive rebounds as opposed to 15 by the Mavericks. Simply working on this could tip the next game in their favour. They did just that winning 12 next time. I expect them to do the same and get the win again.

40 year old Charlie Morton takes to the mound for the Braves who is still pitching as well as ever. He is 3-0 this season with an ERA of 2.08. He still throws a mean curveball and batters are struggling to pick him. Cubs have drawn a blank in the two games against the Braves so far and I doubt they will have much success tonight. Cubs send in pitcher Assad who has also impreesed winning all three games with a 1.7 ERA. Im going under

Celtics are heavy scorers at home with an average of 123 points per game. They have also conceded an average of 107. Three of the four games have gone over and I think this will with Celtics likely to post a big total

Suaraez takes the mound for the Phillies who has impressively won all 7 games with an ERA of 1.50. Mets will struggle to get much joy out of him. Lucceski makes his first start of the year for the Mets. Although he was solid enough last season the Phillies have the starting pitcher edge. With Mets losing 7 of their last 10 and the first two in this series I prefer the Phillies with Suarez on the mound
21:10 COL Rockies @ SD Padres

COL Rockies

Money Line

50 WIN

@3.12

Win

106

As big outsiders its hard to beleive theat the Rockies have won both games in the series and 6 straight games. Padres starter King is well respected but the Rockies battered him when the sides met earleir in the competition. He didnt last three inning giving up 6 runs in quick succession. Rockies will fancy facing him again. Padres havent perfromed well at home with just 10 wins from 25 games so I prefer the Rockies.

It hasnt been a great season for Manchester United but they still have a decent enough home record. Newcastle's away results have been poor with 10 defeats from their 17 games. Although Man U arent playing well I think they have enough about them to end with a draw in front of their own fans.

Brighton arent in great form with just the one win from their last 8. Chelsea are playing well: they have won 7and drawn 5 of of their last 14 games with the two defeats being to the top two Man City and Arsenal. They look the stronger side

Tifers send in pitcher Mize who is top notch and should keep this Marlins line up quiet. Marlins send in pitcher Rogers who is 0-6 so far. He probably isnt as bad as those results would suggest but he isnt as good as Mize. Tigers also have a quality bullpen currently the seventh best on stats whereas the Marlins has struggled

Dodgers have the best offence in baseball and should make inroads into Giants pitcher Winn. He has a 5 63 ERA and gave away 12 Earned Runs in his last two games he has given pitched just 4 innings combined giving away 12 Earned Rus. A powerful Dodgers side will expose him and Giants may have to quickly call upon their bullpen

Twins are in fine form winning 17 of their last 20 games. They have been pouding left handers which is bad news for pitcher Rodon. His figures are ok but giving uo 6 earned runs against the Orioles two starts ago shows he can be hittable. Twins start with pitcher Paddock who has impressed this season and I expect him to fair better than Rodon.

Cubs couldnt manage a run yesterday against the Braves and Braves failed to get a run off pitcher Imanaga. Its only when bullpen pitcher Wesneski took to the mound that the Braves got their two runs. There are two good pitchers on shown tonight in Sale and Taillon so I think this will be another low scoring affair.

Nationals potperformed expectations this season and you would be in profit if you blindly bet them in every game. They start pither Williams who has done well winning all 4 games despite some tricky fixtures. His ERA is 1.96 and he hasnt allowed a run in his last 12 innings. White Sox have struggled this season even though they recently had a run of 4 straight wins. I dont think they cana sustain that so I favour the Nationals

LSG simply dont have big batters who can go at a high strike rate. In the last game against Sunrisers their weaknessess were easily exposed when Sunrisers chased down 165 in under 10 overs. Delhi are very capable with the bat and can simply outhit LSG on what has been a good wicket for batters so far

Despite the long flat start there is clearly hope for thr breakaway on this stage. The only question si will Pogaar really want his team to hase down the break or just rest on his laurels with more mounatinous stages to ome. Im thinking a beak may stay away and be won by a punchy climber. There is still life in Bardet as last month's seond to Pogaar at the Liège-Bastogne-Liège showed. I think he is just about far enough down on GC not to behased down so is a lively bet.

46

After winning the first game by22 Thunder have underperformed in the next two to go 2 down in the series. The difference appears to be mainly in offensive rebounds. Mavericks have been fairly consistent winning 11,12 and 15. Whereas Thunder have varied from just 6 up to 16. They need to work on that and if they can anywhere near that 16 they achieved in the first game they should win this with the handicap

Nationals have been a bit of a surprise pakage this season outperforming their odds in many mathes. Admittedly they lost 2 of their last three but they were by margins of 1,1 and 2 points. They start pither Williams who has been impressie winning all four games despite them playing against top sides. His ERA is 1.96 and he hasnt allowed a run in his last 12 innings. White Sox have looked poor this season but they did reently hae a run of 4 straight wins. I think that flatters them though and I favour the Nationals

Cubs start with Imanaga who has been virtually unplayable since comig to the MLB. He has a 5-0 record an ERA of 1.08 and a 43-5 strikeout to walk ratio. I know Braves are rock solid at home but with Imanaga on the mound Cubs have a better chance than their odds suggest.

Phillies have more wins than any other side this season with 28 so are hard to oppose. Mets start pitcher Manaea who figures are ok but his strikeout to walk ratio of 31-19 is not good. A good Phillies attack is capable of exposing him.

20:00 Aston Villa v Liverpool

Aston Villa

50 WIN

@3.80

Lose

-50

Dont read too much into Villa's last game where they lost against Brighton. They had a big Europa Conference League second leg with Olympiacos four days later so it wasnt their priority. Now out of that competition they can fully focus on securing the last Champions League spot. With a tricky last game away at Palace they will want to win this to ensure the top 4. Liverpool cant win the title now so have nothing to play for. Liverpool's form has been far from convincing of late with a heavy home defeat to Atalanta , a loss at home to Palace and a defeat away to Everton. Villa are a good side despite some injuries and look the value.

KKR are quite simply the best team in the IPL and come into this having won 4 on the trot. Tiatns had an impressive win over CSK last time but hve rarely displayed that level of form. They generally bat slowly and are prone to losing wickets

-50

Pandrith may be an outsider at 100/1 but Im expecting a better performance than those odds suggest. He is ranked 9th on the PGA tour for driving distance which is a big plus on this long course. His other plus is that he won the CJ Cup last week with many players behind him at shorter prices this week.

Wyndham Clark

This is a course that clearly favours long hitters because of its length. Wyndham Clark is a big hitter and has course form having won this last year. His form prior to this is encouraging this with a 3rd and two 2nds from his last 5 starts.

Corses dont come much longer than this and big hitters have a clear advantage here. Wyndham Clark can certainy hit it long and won the event last year. This year's event looks a weaker filed and with him coming into this with a 3rd and two seconds from his last 5 starts I like his chances

Cullen put in a fine performance to beat Wade yesterday with a 96 average. But he has lacked consistency of late as big defeats by Van Peer and Mansell in his previous two games show. Razma has had two good scalps so far in Chisnall and Dobey. He simply hangs in there with solid scoring and is tough to shake off. 6 of his last 8 games have gone over this line and I suspect this will as well.

Although the results havent come there has been an upturn in performances by Hull after a change of personel. They gave Leeds a good game and although they went down by 18 last week to Warrington Broncos lost be 54 to Warrington. Broncos are simply out of their depth at this level and have weekly hammerings. Double figure victory for Hull looks assured

RCB have turned their season around in style by winning their last 4. Kohli always gets a good score and there are plenty off other good batsmen who can keep he scoreboard ticking along.

Southampton probably wont be unhappy with a draw in this match with the home leg to come. West Brom can be a tricky side to break down but offer too much going forward. I can see Southampton seeing most of the ball but Wst Brom frustrating them.

Ricardo Pietreczko is not a big 180 hitter and I'd expect not more than 1 in this match which is his usual output over this distance. Edhouse only hit one yesterday but thats not his norm. He is usually a solid 3-5 hitter per game. So I favour him in this match up

A massive game at the bottom which could go some way to deciding who goes down. Coming into this Villareal B are showing probably the better form. They have won three of their last 5 wheras Amorebieta are winless in three. Villarreal B won the reverse fixture 3-1 and should get at least the draw

Leeds form has nosedived at the end of the season forcing them into the play-offs. They won just one of their last 6 with 4 defeats. They were thrashed by QPR and flattered by the 2-1 scoreline against Southampton. Norwich have been strong at home with a run of 16 games unbeaten winning 11 of them. Given Leeds wobbles im siding with Norwich

I see this going over just like their meeting last month on clay in Monte Carlo. Khachanov is a pretty reliable character who regularly plays to his level.

Gold Coast have just the one win against the Warriors losing their other 7. To be fair they often cpmepeted well against good sides but they find it hard to win matches.

Roosters have won 5 and lost 4 with the four defeats all being against decent sides. They are strong defensively with only the top two conceding less points. Warriors have been a disappointment this season and have lost their last three. Roosters have won the last 8 meetings with Warriors and can make it 9.
