4-Unit Play EPL Take Luton Town/Chelsea OVER 3 (+105) (Sat, Dec 30 7:30 a.m. EST) (Graded after regulation time - 90min - plus injury time)

Luton Town has been solid on offense and has scored in six straight matches. They have 11 goals in that span, so almost two per match. Chelsea have five goals in their last three matches. You have to figure that Chelsea will get at least two here by the amount they are favored, and it is unlikely they will hold Luton Town to a clean sheet.

10-Unit Play Women's World Cup Take Japan/Sweden OVER (3:30 a.m. EST, Friday August  11) (Graded after regulation time - 90min - plus injury time)

These defenses have been stingy, no doubt, as they have both given up only one goal total in four matches. But both of these offenses have been among the best in the tournament, and we don't see the defenses holding up this morning. Sweden especially is in a letdown spot here defensively. They played an almost superhuman match against the Americans and we just don't see them replicating that effort here against a much better offense. Even though they earned a clean sheet against USA, it was mainly the goalkeeper, as the Americans had 22 shots, 11 of which were on goal. We think they will be more aggressive offensively here as they played D a lot against USA. Before failing to score against USA, they had averaged three goals on offense in their previous three Group Stage matches. Japan has been even better as they have averaged more than three goals per match in this tournament. They faced Norway last time out. The Norwegians didn't allow a goal in the Group Stage, but Japan lit them up for three, while allowing their only goal so far. So, we think they will be able to put up multiple goals here on Sweden, who are probably not mentally past their big win over USA, the favorite to win the entire tournament. These teams don't play often, but they have averaged almost three goals per match in four lifetime meetings. We think this one sees three or more goals scored on Friday morning.

4-Unit Play Women's World Cup Take Zambia +1.5 +120 over Japan (3:00 a.m. EST, Fri July 21) (Graded after regulation time - 90min - plus injury time - if Japan wins by 1-goal we have a WINNER)
Japan has been here before in the bright lights but don't sleep on the women from Zambia. They are coming off a huge upset win over Germany 3-2 and drew against the Swiss and I see them keeping this match close.

7-Unit Play MLS Take Under 3.5 -130 Austin vs Vancouver (10:30 p.m. EST, Wed July 12) (Graded after regulation time - 90min - plus injury time)

I know both teams have scored and given up goals at will as of late but throwing out a goal total of 3.5 seems off. The last five meetings between these two teams all five would have gone under this goal total line. In April these two teams battled to a 0-0 draw and the last three meetings one of the teams went scoreless in all three games. I do see both teams hitting the back of the net and this game will be a close one but at the end of the night this game stays under the 3.5 goal total.

5-Unit Play MLS Take Houston +110 over Kansas City (8:30 p.m. EST, Fri July 8) (Graded after regulation time - 90min - plus injury time - if game ends in a DRAW we have a LOSER)

Sporting Kansas City makes a trip to Shell Energy Stadium to face off the Houston Dynamo and I see home field holding. Houston comes into this home match dropping back-to-back league games but both were on the road. The last two home games the Dynamo have played they have outscored their opponents 8-1 and tonight I see them dominating Sporting KC tonight. Let's also throw in that Sporting KC has dropped eight of their last eleven league road games.

3-Unit Play Liga MX Take Under 2.5 -105 Club Tijuana at Necaxa (11:00 p.m. EST, Thur July 7) (Graded after regulation time - 90min - plus injury time)

Both teams have struggled as of late and if you like goals this is not your game. Between these two teams the last ten meetings seven of them have stayed under the 2.5 goal total and I see the same results tonight. Let's also throw in that the last three meetings all three of them have ended in a 1-1 draw so tonight take the under and take a stab at the draw.

Best of Luck - Doc's Sports

It’s no fluke Morocco is here and they have advanced this far on the strength of the defense. They won’t be intimidated today. And the way this wacky World Cup has gone, it would be fitting for the Morocco side to advance. The favored Argentina rolled in their matchup against Croatia and we just find it hard to believe that things will be so easy for France. We expect another competitive matchup here and we think the underdog has nice betting value as goals will be hard to come by for both sides but Morocco always has a chance for a penalty or to sneak one through.

7-Unit Play Take Croatia +.5 (+110) over Argentina (2 p.m. EST, Tuesday Dec 13) (Graded after regulation time - 90min - plus injury time - need at least a draw at the end of regulation)

Croatia deserves to be here and their run to the final four isn’t a fluke. Not much has come easy for the Argentines in this tournament, and we don’t think they are going to roll into the final without a challenge. Croatia isn’t going to light up the scoreboard here, but they can keep Argentina away from scoring. They have allowed only three goals so far in this tournament, and they allowed only one to a better Brazil side. This total is set at only two goals, so that makes the value at getting a half goal on the spread even stronger. We would not be shocked if this one is scoreless at the end of regulation, but even if Argentina scores, we think that Croatia will find a way to get one through to sent it to extra time. We just don’t see any scenario where Argentina runs away with this.

Outstanding value on the over here. Both sides have been excellent offensively here in this World Cup. England have 12 goals in their four matches. France have nine goals in their four matches. Both sides are outstanding defensively, but we think the offenses will shine here on Saturday. We lean to France to win this one and we expect an aggressive attack and a probable early goal that should open the game up wide. Then we think both sides will go all out to score. We think this is a likely 2-1 final but it would not surprise us if this one was even more high scoring than that.

Both sides broke out on the offensive end in their last match, and we think that scoring will carry over here. Argentina has scored in 13 straight international matches. The Netherlands have scored in 15 straight. So there’s very little chance for a clean sheet for either side here. After a poor first match, Argentina have scored twice in each of their last three matches. Those were against some strong defensive sides. Netherlands have five goals in their last two matches, so they have caught the scoring bug. We think the winner here has at least two goals in regulation, and we see both sides scoring at least once, and multiple goals by each side isn’t too far-fetched.

Croatia have allowed only two goals in four matches so far. They are going to have to give it their all defensively if they want to have a chance to advance here. Everyone saw Brazil score four last time out vs. South Korea, but we don’t think they will repeat that kind of performance here. Their two matches before were both 1-0 wins, and that is the kind of result we expect here.

Both sides took 6 points out of the group stage but we think Portugal did it better and we think they are the better side overall. This price is more than fair, and we think this is a mismatch that the favorite will likely win by multiple goals.

England had the draw against USA but they scored nine goals in their other two group stage games. Their offense is playing well. Senegal had five goals in their last two matches. Both teams are playing well on the offensive end and we see both sides getting at least one through. We expect a 2-1 England win, but there could be a chance for more goals than that.

Argentina got a gift for their first knockout stage game as the Socceroos were a surprise to advance this far. This team’s goal was to advance and they are probably just happy to be here. That makes them dangerous, but Argentina has looked better every game. They played one of the best games of any side in the tournament last time out with a dominant match vs. Poland that was way more lopsided than the final indicated as the Polish goalkeeper played hero ball. The Argentines now look primed for a deep run here and they have a great first opponent from which to get another dominant win.

This is a public line in our opinion with squares loading up on USA, but we think their run ends here. They are banged up and had trouble scoring in the group stage. Their group was very top heavy yet the Americans almost missed the knockout stage. Netherlands has the superior talent and experience.

Germany played a lot better in their second match, with a draw vs. Spain after losing to Japan in the first match. We saw with Argentina that a top side can lose their first game and bounce back., and now Germany is facing the worst side in the group with their fate on the line. There could be a scenario where the Germans may need goals for a tiebreaker, so we think they go all out here against a vulnerable side. Costa Rica is probably one of the worst sides in this World Cup despite a win vs. Japan. That followed a 7-0 loss to Spain. This is a side an aggressive German side can beat badly, and we expect them to make the most of their opportunities.

Morocco have not allowed a goal yet in this World Cup and they now have not allowed a goal in six straight matches. Canada have shown they don’t have the offensive firepower to compete in this Tournament. They got their first ever goal early vs. Croatia but had only one other shot on goal in that match. Canada still has a goal in this tournament despite being eliminated: to win a match. We think they will ramp up the defense here and hope to get a lucky one through on the offensive end.

4-Unit Play. Competition: World Cup Qualifier. Take Italy -155 over Switzerland (Friday at 2:45pm) Includes 90  minutes + injury time. For this selection to win, Italy must win or draw.

No time for a lengthy write up as we are traveling. We are coming off a great 4* win yesterday with Chile and we go with Italy here today for a couple of reasons. First, they are the better team and come into this game with just one loss over their last 38 games. That's impressive. They've beaten the Swiss in Euro 2020 and drew 0-0 in the last encounter as they missed a penalty that would have won the game. That was on the road and now they return to Italy for this contest and we see their attack being far to strong for the Swiss to counter.

6-Unit Play. Competition: Serie A. Take Napoli -1.5 (-120) over Bologna (Thursday at 2:45pm) Includes 90 minutes + injury time. For this selection to win, Napoli must win by two or more goals.

As per your selection on Napoli, this is a great spot for them to get back to their winning ways after drawing with Roma just four days ago. They dominated that game but were unable to find the breakthrough, which won't be the case here today. Napoli is stout defensively having only given up 3 goals on the season and Bologna shows very little attacking threat. Napoli's attack should be able to generate plenty of chances against Bologna's leaky defense (19 conceded in 9 games) and we expect Napoli to pull away from Bologna in the game. We see this game being 2-0 or 3-1 in favor of the hosts.

6-Unit Play. Competition: EPL. Take Southampton +100 over Burnley (Saturday at 3pm) Includes 90 minutes + injury time. For this selection to win, Southampton must win the game.

As per your selections above, we've carefully selected these games as they fit into our system and the price is spot on for all selections. We've rated Southampton as our top play due to a number of reasons, including the line and the form they show coming into this game. We love every game just as much as the last but we've priced them accordingly. Let's have a great soccer weekend and make some money!

6-Unit Play. Competition: Bundesliga. Take FC Koln +0.5 (-130) over Hoffenheim (Friday at 2:30 pm) Includes 90 minutes+ injury time. For this selection to win, Koln must win or draw.

As per your selection on Koln, we believe this is the perfect opportunity for them to stop their losing ways to Hoffenheim. Koln has lost six straight meetings vs Hoffenheim, but as they come into this matchup in great form (unbeaten in five matches and one loss in their last 15 matches), this is the time for them to win this contest. Koln has shown a solid defensive ability this season, conceded just 9 in 7 games, which is a big change from the number of goals they conceded last season. Hoffenheim are suspect on defense, having given up 11 goals and they come into this one in relatively poor form, having just 1 win in their last six matches. I expect Koln to be ready for this contest and to take the game to the hosts.

8-Unit Play. Competition: World Cup Qualifying. Take OVER 2 Goals (-125) - Bolivia vs Paraguay (Thursday at 4pm) Includes 90 minutes + injury time. For this selection to win, there must be three or more goals scored. Two goals is a push.

As per your selection on the OVER 2 goals in this game vs Bolivia/Paraguay, we are on a steller run in soccer and we expect to continue it here today. Both teams come into this game with poor defensive records. Paraguay has conceded 13 goals including at least 1 goal in six of their last seven games. They've only played in one goalless game over their last 11, so there will be at least one goal here tonight. As for Bolivia, well, they've played to the over 2 goals in three of their last four games, and they've given up a whopping 25 goals in the 11 qualifying games so far, while notching 13 goals for. Four of the last 5 H2H meetings have gone OVER the posted total of 2 and we see both teams trading chances and eventually finding the back of the net at least twice. We have this pegged for five goals, so grab your popcorn and enjoy the fireworks.

4-Unit Play. Competition: World Cup Qualifying. Take Colombia +0.5 (-115) over Uruguay (Thursday at 7pm) Includes 90 minutes + injury time. For this selection to win Colombia must win or draw.

As per your selection on Colombia, this is a good spot for them to build off their 3-1 win in the last round of qualifying vs Chile. Colombia can in fact score goals and we just don't trust Uruguay to find the back of the net all that often. They continuously go through slumps and we believe Colombia's brand of football will overwhelm the hosts and Colombia can get out of Montevideo with at least a point in the bank.

4-Unit Play. Competition: EPL. Take West Ham -115 over Brentford (Sunday at 9am) Includes 90 minutes + injury time. For this selection to win, West Ham must win the game.

We have no time for a lengthy write up as we are on the road this weekend. These are teams that we've been tracking closely all season long and have made us some good money by backing them in certain spots. CP showed a great performance in their last game only to be pegged back 1-1 at the death through a fluke goal. They will be motivated for this one and Leciester is in mixed form right now, especially away from home. As for West Ham, perhaps no bigger story in the EPL this season than these two teams as West Ham sit seventh and Brentford in ninth. We believe at home, West Ham will dominate this game and their goal-scoring prowess will lead them to a victory that will catapult them into the third spot.

7-Unit Play. Competition: EPL. Take Over 2.5 Goals (-110) Chelsea/Southampton (Saturday at 10am) includes 90 minutes + injury time. For this selection to win, there must be three or more goals scored.

We've been on a stellar run in soccer of late and we have carefully selected five totals that we've run with our stats model numerous times and each time we turn a profit. These games have been carefully selected based on teams, stats, and situational spots. We love every game just as much as the one before it but we are making our top-rated play the Chelsea/Southampton over because the juice is right and we have that hitting at least five goals.

5-Unit Play. Competition: Champions League. Take Lille +0.5 (-115) over Salzburg (Wednesday at 3pm) Includes 90 minutes + injury time. For this selection to win, Lille must win or draw.

As per your selection on Lille, we believe they are the better team in this matchup and come in off two good wins in domestic play which should boost their confidence for this clash with Salzburg. Salzburg has been running riot in the Austrian league, but this is a very big step up in class for them against a team from a top-4 league in Europe. Both teams sit on one point coming into this match and with the way this group is shaping out, a point would be better than no points in this contest and we see this game being played extremely cautiously. Give me the better team with the half-goal cushion.

6-Unit Play. Competition: EPL. Take Crystal Palace PK (+105) over Brighton (Monday at 3pm) Includes 90 minutes + injury time. For this selection to win, CP must win the game. A draw is a push as this is a two-way market.

As per your selection on Crystal Palace here, we've been around the soccer scene long enough to know that records and form mean less than normal when the matchup is a derby of two nearby teams. That's what this is and we believe the home side has what it takes to come away with a very big win here. Look, Brighton has been good to start the season, but are they really the sixth-best team in the EPL this year? I doubt it. They've beaten teams like Burnley, Watford and Brentford. Not exactly tough opposition. CP has played extremely tough competition like Chelsea, Liverpool and West Ham. They also beat Tottenham 3-0. This Crystal Palace team has quality in the lineup and with motivation to beat their close town rivals, and thrust up the standings away from the drop zone, CP should be ready for this contest and we expect a big performance from them.

7-Unit Play. Competition: Serie A. Take Juventus -1.5 (-110) over Spezia (Wednesday at 12:30pm) Includes 90 minutes + injury time. For this selection to win, Juventus must win by two or more goals.

As per your selection on Juventus, it's time they get their domestic campaign underway with a win as they've been held to just two draws and two losses so far this young season. Juventus should take a little bit of solace in the fact that they played well against Milan only to be pegged back by a late equalizer. Now they go on their travels to Spezia, a team Juventus has outscored 7-1 over the last two Serie A games. Juventus have a fully fit squad to choose for this one and we see them being focused and ready to win this game with a clean sheet as that is of utmost importance to the manager and to the players in defense. We see a 3-0 win here.

6-Unit Play. Competition: Serie A. Take Inter Milan -110 over Fiorentina (Tuesday at 2:45pm) Includes 90 minutes + injury time. For this selection to win, Milan must win the game.

As per your selection on Inter Milan to get the win here, don't let the standings fool you into thinking Fiorentina are a good team and they are on the same level as Milan even though they are just one point behind them. Fiorentina has been extremely fortunate to accumulate 9 points in four games and we see that run ending here today. Inter Milan is the best team in the league and has notched 15 goals and conceded just four. There are coming off an easy game vs Bologna which they won 6-1 and they should be rested and ready to get after another three points. This is a great line on the better team.

7-Unit Play. Competition: Serie A. Take OVER 2.5 Goals -115 - Napoli/Udinese (Monday at 2:45pm) Includes 90 minutes + injury time. For this selection to win, there must be three or more goals scored.

As per your selection on the over, you have two of the three teams that have conceded the fewest goals on the season facing off, but we believe this game sets up nicely for the OVER with Udinese being a home underdog that packs some punch. Udinese has won twice and draw once for a 7-point start and should be full of confidence. As for Napoli, they are a perfect three wins from three games and have scored two goals in each of their wins. Napoli has beaten Udinese four of the last five meetings and the total has hit at least three in four of those games. Plenty of attacking power and attacking style of football in this one and we see this great price and can't resist. OVER it is.

4-Unit Play. Competition: Champions League. Take Real Madrid +0.5 (-160) over Inter Milan (Wednesday at 3pm) Includes 90 minutes + injury time. For this selection to win, Real Madrid must win or draw.

As per your selection on Real Madrid to grab at least a point here, I believe they are the better team in this matchup and will have the better starting XI on the field. Madrid has been in fine form of late, winning back-to-back games and three of their last four and outscoring the opposition 13-6. They should also have confidence in knowing that they have in fact already beat Inter Milan as recently as last year's Champions League. We think this is a good spot for them and we'll take them win or draw here.

5-Unit Play. Competition; Champions League. Take Juventus -1 (-115) over Malmo (Tuesday at 3pm) Includes 90 minutes + injury time. For this selection to win, Juventus must win by two or more goals. A one-goal win is a push.

As per your selection on Juventus, it's time they get their campaign on track after sputtering in the domestic league to start the season. They travel here to Malmo in search of a season-boosting win and we believe they get it by a wide margin. Nothing wrong with Malmo as they enter the UCL, but they are clearly the outsiders in the group and Juve should be focused and ready to secure three points.

4-Unit Play. Competition: World Cup Qualifying. Take Canada -1 (-115) over El Salvador (Wednesday at 7:30pm) includes 90 minutes + injury time. For this selection to win, Canada must win by two or more goals. A one-goal win is a push.

As per your selection on Canada to get a big win here vs El Salvador, you have to believe they are thrilled with their two points from two games in this qualifying campaign. They fought back from a 1-0 hole against the USA to draw level 1-1. That result doesn't mean anything if they aren't able to get three points here today at home vs a weak El Salvador team. Canada is the far superior team here and they should have the offensive advantage in this one as El Salvador has failed to score in two games so far. Canada needs these three points against weaker teams if they want to make their first World Cup appearance since 1986. Look for a big 3-0 win here for the boys in red.

4-Unit Play. Competition: World Cup Qualifiers. Take Ireland +0.5 (-120) over Serbia (Tuesday at 2:45pm) Includes 90 minutes + injury time. For this selection to win, Ireland must win or draw.

As per your selection on Ireland +0.5, we like them here in this spot at home to come away with at least a draw. They haven't exactly performed well in this qualifying campaign but at home, this is a good spot for them as they know they need three points here to try and get back in the World Cup promotion race. As for Serbia, well they sit atop group A on goal differential (tied with Portugal). Their last two games they've beaten the lowly ranks of Azerbajain and Luxembourg, so this step up in class against Ireland will be testy. I expect Ireland to give it one last gasp and come away with some points in this one.

4-Unit Play. Competition: World Cup Qualifiers. Take Brazil -125 over Chile (Thursday at 9pm) Includes 90 minutes + Injury time. For this selection to win, Brazil must win the game.

As per your selection on Brazil, this is a spot where we expect the team to bounce back after their loss in the Copa Ameria finals. They should be fielding a strong team in this contest and with Chile old and slow, we see Brazil coming through with a win to extend their lead atop of the Conmebol standings.

4-Unit Play. Competition: World Cup Qualifiers. Take Russia PK (-110) over Croatia (Wednesday at 2:45pm) Includes 90 min + injury time. For this selection to win, Russia must win the game. A draw is a push as this is a two-way market

As per your selection on Russia to get a win here in this World Cup Qualifying match, we trust Russia to show up and play a solid 90 minutes at home more so than we trust Croatia to show up in Russia and get a win after a mediocre Euro Cup. Russia is currently level on points with Croatia atop Group H and having lost their last game to Slovakia, they know this game is an important one for them. Russia has won 12 of their last 13 home World Cup Qualifying games. Croatia, as we saw in the Euro tournament looked old, slow and out of sorts. This is a very tough venue for them to go into and get a win and we are banking on Russia's excellent home form to get them a much-needed win.

4-Unit Play. Competition: La Liga. Take Real Madrid -105 over Real Betis (Saturday at 4pm) Includes 90 minutes + injury time. For this selection to win, Madrid must win the game.

As per your selection on Real Madrid to get the win, they are coming off a disappointing draw against Levante and we expect them to be focused and ready to defend much better than they did in that contest. We already know Madrid will score goals for fun this season and we see them scoring a bunch here today against a Betis side that hasn't gotten off the mark yet. Betis has stumbled to two 1-1 draws and now with the step up in class, we don't see them all of a sudden having an answer. TAke Madrid at this great price.

7-Unit Play. Competition: EPL. Take Everton +0.5 (-150) over Brighton (Saturday at 10am) Includes 90 minutes + injury time. For this selection to win, Everton must win or draw.

As per your selection on Everton, are books going to continue to disrespect them with lines such as this? I mean, I'm all for it as we get the better team with the more talented players getting +0.5 instead of laying half a goal. Everton was good in their last league game - a 2-2 draw with Leeds - and have since won 2-1 away to Huddersfield. Brighton has won three straight games, but wins against Burnley and Watford don't really mean that Brighton is a team to be feared. Everton is the better team and we are getting a really good line here.

5-Unit Play. Competition. Europa League. Take Slavia Prague +110 over Legia Warsaw (Thursday at 3pm) Includes 90 minutes + injury time. For this selection to win, Prague must win the game.

As per your selection on Slavia Prague, i've been waiting a week to go back to them as they drew the first leg 2-2 despite outplaying Warsaw by a large margin. Now they head on the road and we are getting a great price on the better team to win this game. Prague is coming off a good 4-0 win in their domestic league so confidence will be high. This is a great price and we see Slavia winning this game 3-1.

7-Unit Play. Competition: EPL. Take Everton +0.5 (-150) over Leeds (Saturday at 10am) Includes 90 minutes + injury time. For this selection to win, Everton must win or draw.

As per your selection on Everton to come away with at least a draw here, the line is massively disrespecting the Everton side and we won't stand for it. Everton is the equivalent of a quarter-horse. They always come out of the gate strong before slumping majorly and then finishing around 10th. It's just what they do. It's who they are. They made quick work of Southampton in the opener and now hit the road for a date against a Leeds side that couldn't stop a house-league team from scoring on them (not Man United, an actual house-league team). Leeds is in shambles and how do they fix the defense in a week after giving up 5 goals? Everton have players that are in form and ready to score goals for fun and while we see this being another high-scoring Leeds affair, we see Leeds succumbing to poor defense and Everton coming away with a point if not three.

7-Unit Play. Competition: MLS. Take Real Salt Lake -125 over Houston Dynamo (Wednesday at 10pm) Includes 90 minutes + injury time. For this selection to win, Real Salt Lake must win outright.

As per your selection on Real Salt Lake to come away with a big win for us here, we believe this spot sets up well for them as they are off a good home win against Austin and now get to take on a Houston side that is playing some really poor football. Houston has not won a game since May 22 - a span of 12 games. They have alos played 8 of those games away from home and with today's game being on the road again, we see a little bit of fatigue creeping in and the team falling apart late in the game. Real Salt Lake have kept back-to-back clean-sheets at home and with a win, they could jump up to fifth in the Western Conference. This is a critcial game for RSL and we see them winning this one with ease.

4-Unit Play. Competition: MLS. Take San Jose PK -140 over Minnesota (Tuesday at 10:30 pm) Includes 90 minutes + injury time. For this selection to win, SJ must win the game outright. A draw is a push as this is a two way market

As per your selection on San Jose, we believe this is a great spot for them to get back in the win column after suffering a 0-0 draw in their last game against Vancouver. San Jose has shown good form of late, going unbeaten in their last 8 contests and as they are at home - a place they are very good at - we see them taking the game to Minnesota and coming away with a much-needed win to get them back into the playoff picture. They also have revenge in mind having dropped four of the last five games against Minnesota. As for Minny, they come into this game off a 1-0 loss to LA Galaxy, and the offense at times has gone missing. WE don't see them playing a good road game here and we see San Jose grabbing a big win tonight.

6-Unit Play. Competition: Copa America. Take Over 2 Goals (-105) - Brazil/Argentina (Saturday at 8pm). Includes 90 minutes + injury time. For this selection to win, there must be three or more goals scored. Two goals is a push

As per your selection on the OVER 2 goals here, how can we not take this low line? Have you seen the attacking firepower these two teams possess? Brazil has been one of the best teams in the tournament and they can score goals for fun, while Argentina aren't very far behind. Most think this game will be a cagey and tight affair but we see the opposite. Both teams will want to take control of this game early and we see an early goal happening which will open up the game. Look for this game to end at least 2-1 either way.

4-Unit Play. Competition: Copa America. Take Over 2.5 Goals (-120) - Colombia/Peru (Friday at 8pm) Includes 90 minutes + injury time. For this selection to win, there must be three or more goals scored.

As per your selection on the OVER, we know that both of these teams played their hearts out in the semi-finals only to fall short. Now they have to turn around and play in a meaningless third place game, so we this game being played loose and freely with teams trading chances. The offensive fire power in this game is underrated and we see both teams going for the win here and thus giving us at least an entertaining affair with at least 3 goals.

4-Unit Play. Competition: MLS. Take New York Red Bulls (+135) over Philadelphia (Thursday at 8pm) Includes 90 minutes + injury time. For this selection to win, NY must win the game.

As per your selection ton NY, we believe this is a great spot for them to grab back-to-back wins and push their way up the standings. They currently sit outside of a playoff position, albeit still early, but are just three points back of Philadelphia who reside in third. A win here would go a long away to boost confidence and get some momentum started for the next stretch of games. The NYRB are great at home (four wins in a row) and we see them dominating this game and grabbing a win. As for Philly, they aren't the same team on the road, and they are winless in three and we don't see them keeping up with NYRB in this game.

4-Unit Play. Competition: MLS. Take Seattle +0.5 (-120) over Colorado (Sunday at 9pm) Includes 90 minutes + injuyr time. For this selection to win, Seattle must win or draw.

As per your Seattle, we have no issues backing the best team in the league on the road to get at least a draw here. It may not be the ideal spot for them, but we can't pass up this value at +0.5 goals. Seattle has only conceded 7 goals so far this season while scoring 20 and we believe that defense will shine through once again here tonight. Colorado is coming off a deflating 3-1 loss to KC and we see that lingering over into their match here today. They don't have the offensive firepower to keep up with Seattle and as such we see Seattle winning or drawing here.

4-Unit Play. Competition: Copa America. Take Paraguay PK over Chile (Thursday at 8pm) Includes 90 minutes + injury time. For this selection to win, Paraguay must win the game A draw is a push as this is a two-way market.

As per your selection on Paraguay, this is a very important game for them if they want to progress to the knockout stages of this tournament. Chile has already punched its ticket and will be without some key players due to the breaching of COVID protocols. Not to mention, Chile is making the 878km journey from the site of their last game to Brasilia for this matchup, whereas Paraguay was here on Monday, playing Argentina close in a 1-0 loss. Paraguay is a good offensive-minded team and we see them taking the fight to Chile in this contest and grabbing a much-needed win.

4-Unit Play. Competition: Euro Cup. Take Italy -1 (-125) over Turkey (Friday at 3pm) Includes 90 Minutes + Injury time. For this selection to win, Italy must win by two or more goals. A one-goal win is a push.

As per your selection on Italy, we like them in this spot to open up with a convincing win. They are playing all group stage games on home soil and we believe they have a lot to prove in terms of sending belief amongst players, supporters and the critical media. Through Qualifying, Italy was a force. They conceded just 3 goals and scored 37. They finally have attacking players that fit what Mancini is trying to do and they can focus on attacking with numbers instead of sitting back and letting other teams dictate the play. Italy will be ready for this game and we expect them to come out with a very high-energy 90 minutes. As for Turkey, they are solid in their own right, but are in over their heads here. They have a good defense but don't have the attacking threats going forward that Italy possesses. They will struggle to break down the Italian defense, and we see them getting left off the score sheet here today.

5-Unit Play. Competition: Champions League. Take Manchester City over Chelsea (Saturday at 3pm) Includes 90 minutes + injury time. For this selection to win, Man City must win the game. This selection DOES NOT include Extra Time or Penalties. As per your selection on Man City to win this game outright in 90 minutes and lift the Champions League Trophy, they've been the best team in Europe for quite some time now and it all culminates with winning this elusive trophy. Pep and his squad will be ready and will not be taking Chelsea lightly as they've lost the last to meetings to the London side. Normally, this is the kind of game where +175 on Chelsea to lift the Cup is enticing, but Man City are just too good to beat in a winner-take-all match. City will have had plenty of time to rest their starters for this match as they had the PL won three weeks ago, where as Chelsea fought with their starters till the very last minute on the very last matchday of the PL just to get a top-4 spot should they lose this game. Chelsea is a good side, but I don't see Pep squandering this chance and Man City will win this game likely, 2-0 or 3-0 in regulation time.

5-Unit Play. Competition: EPL. Take Leeds United +0.5 (-130) over Brighton (Saturday at 10am) Includes 90 minutes + injury time. For this selection to win, Leeds must win or draw.

As per your selection on Leeds to get at least a draw in this contest, we have been fading Brighton for a while now and we see no path to victory for them given how big of a slump they are currently in. Brighton has gone four straight without a win and has just 2 wins in their last 10 games. They are not scoring goals and can't keep the ball out of the back of their net either. Leeds, has been on a solid run of form of late, unbeaten in six games which includes a win vs Man City, and three draws vs Liverpool, Man United, and Chelsea. They have shown us at times this season that they can play some quality football and we believe their attacking prowess will be enough to get past Brighton and secure at least a point in this contest.

7-Unit Play. Competition: Spain La Liga. Take Barcelona ML +100 over Real Madrid (Saturday at 10am). Includes 90 minutes + Injury time. For this selection to win, Barcelona must win the game.

As per your selection on Barcelona to get the better of their rival Real Madrid, we are going to back the team in better form right now and that's Barcelona by a mile. Typically when these two teams hook up in El Classico, you can throw form out the window, but Real Madrid is playing so poorly, we don't believe they can recover in time for this crucial game, especially away from home. Madrid has lost 1-0 to Cadiz and 3-2 to Shakhtar at home in their past two games and now have to travel to the Camp Nou to take on a Barca side that has just two losses over their last 10 matches. Barcelona has the better squad in every position and with a breakout 5-1 against Ferencvaros in the CL midweek, confidence and momentum should be riding high for this matchup. Barcelona has a 2-1-1 record against Madrid over the last five meetings and is in a revenge spot as Madrid beat them last time out.

5-Unit Play. Competition: Champions League. Take Juventus -125 over Dynamo Kyiv (Tuesday at 12:55pm). Includes 90 minutes + Injury Time.

As per your selection on Juventus, they are coming off a dull 1-1 draw against bottom of the table Crotone in Italy, but conceded a penalty and got themselves a red card. They should be more focused on this contest with an extremely strong lineup put forward. Juventus are a good bet away from home in the CL as they've won 8 of their last 12 fixtures away from home in the group stage with six of those games featuring clean sheets and two-plus goals scored. Kyiv will be out of their weight class here despite being unbeaten in 10 games. Juventus is the class and will need to get off to a winning start in order to keep pace with Barcelona.

4-Unit Play. Competition: MLS. Take Under 2.5 Goals - Cincinnati vs DC United (Sunday at 7:30). Includes 90 minutes + Injury Time. For this selection to win, there must be two or fewer goals scored.

As per your selection on the under, we look at these two teams and wonder where the goals are going to come from? DC has scored 15 from 18 games while Cincinnati has scored just 10 from 18 games. Both teams play slowly through the midfield and while both teams concede a ton of goals, we don't see any creative spark on the field today and as such, this game has 1-0 written all over it.

5-Unit Play. Competition: Italy Serie A. Take Juventus -1 (-130) over Crotone (Saturday at 2:45pm). Includes 90 minutes + injury time. For this selection to win, Juventus must win by two or more goals. A one-goal win is a push.

As per your selection on Juventus, they have enough firepower even without Ronaldo in the lineup to make quick work of newly-promoted side Crotone. Juventus will score at least three goals against a Crotone side that has conceded 10 goals in three games this season while finding the back of the net just twice. Juventus gets the win and we cash another soccer ticket.

5-Unit Play. Competition: English Premier League. Take Over 3 Goals (-120) Everton/Liverpool (Saturday at 7:30am). Includes 90 minutes + Injury time. For this selection to win, there must be four or more goals scored. Three goals is a push.

As per your selection on the over, we see a very wide-open affair in this contest as both teams will want to assert themselves in this Merseyside Derby. Everton has been the class of the EPL through four games this season, scoring at will and racing out to a 4-0 record. Liverpool just got thrashed by Aston Villa 7-2, so you know they will want to bounce-back. The defense is something you don't fix overnight and with the attacking power both team possesses, we see this game reaching at least 2-2. Everton's last five games have all featured over 2.5 goals and saw both teams score, while Liverpool has seen an average of 4.42 goals in their last 12 EPL games and they've kept just one clean sheet over their last nine EPL games.

6-Unit Play. Competition: MLS. Take Toronto FC PK (-110) over New England (Wednesday at 7:30pm). Includes 90 minutes + Injury Time. For this selection to win, TFC must win the game. A draw is a push as this is a two-way market.

As per your selection on TFC to get a result out of this game, you'd be hard-pressed to find a team in better form than Toronto right now as they've won three-straight games and are unbeaten over their last five. They are winning by scoring goals and playing sound defensively, something we always preach upon. As for New England, they too are unbeaten in four but have two draws in that mix against poor teams like Nashville and NY Redbulls. The TFC attack should be too much for New England to overcome and we see TFC taking this game by a score of 3-1.

6-Unit Play. Competition: England EFL Cup. Take Aston Villa -1 (-105) over Stoke City (Thursday at 2 pm). Includes 90 minutes + injury time. For this selection to win, Villa must win by two or more goals. A one-goal win is a push.

As per your selection on Villa to get this win by multiple goals, we believe they are far and away the better side in this matchup and come into this game oozing confidence after having easily beaten Fulham 3-0 in their last contest. That brought Villa's run to five straight wins where they've outscored the opposition 11-1. Stoke City, on the other hand, sits in England's second division and while they have had a good run of form lately, are simply a class behind Villa in this contest. We'll always side with the team that can score goals and Villa fits the bill in this game.

6-Unit Play. Competition: English Premier League. Take Manchester United ML (-140) over Brighton (Saturday at 7:30am). Includes 90 minutes + Injury time. For this selection to win, Manchester United must win this game.

As per your selection on United to win this game against Brighton, we believe they are in a great spot to do well as they are coming off a confidence-boosting 3-0 win vs Luton after losing their opening PL game by a score of 3-1 to Crystal Palace. United is fully healthy and when they are on, they can play with the best teams in the world. They come into this game riding a seven-match unbeaten road streak while winning the last four and scoring 2+ goals and keeping a clean sheet. Brighton, while off to a bright start has conceded 3+ goals in four of their last five home games and figure to be under pressure from the opening kick-off. United will win this game and get their first EPL win of the season.

7-Unit Play. Competition: Major League Soccer. Take Philadelphia ML over Cincinnati FC (Wednesday at 7:30pm). Includes 90 minutes + Injury time.

As per your selection on Philadelphia, we believe this is a major mismatch and the price is way too good to pass up. Philadelphia is easily one of the top teams in the MLS and they come into this game riding a three match winning streak which has seen them score 9 goals while conceding just 2. They should have no trouble keeping Cincinnati FC out of the back of the net as Cincy has managed just 2 goals over their last five games and play a very defensive brand of soccer. Philadelphia will be able to break the Cincy defense down with their plethora of attacking options and ideas and we see Philly racing away to a 3-0 win in this game.

5-Unit Play. Competition: English Premier League. Take Chelsea ML (-175) Over Brighton (Monday at 3pm). Includes 90 Minutes + Injury time.

No time for a write-up today as we are traveling. Chelsea won the transfer market by signing big names like Werner, Ziyech and Havertz and now look to push for the title this year and it begins in Game 1 against a Brighton side who will be completely overmatched. Chelsea will dicate possession in this contest and generate enough chances to bury a few of them and escape the first game with a solid win.

5-Unit Play. Competition: French Ligue 1. Take RC Lens +0.5 (+115) over PSG (Thursday at 3pm). Includes 90 Minutes + Injury Time. For this selection to win. RC Lens must win or draw.

As per your selection on RC Lens to grab at least a point in this matchup vs PSG, why not take a shot with them as they come off a couple of club-friendly wins after losing the Ligue 1 opener to Nice 2-1, a game in which they were in until the very end. They now get their Super Bowl of sorts early in the season, taking on a PSG side that's going to be without several key regulars as they have to miss the match due to COVID. PSG are still stinging from the loss to Bayern in the Champions League finals and with a second string team getting field, we'll gladly take Lens at plus money to keep this game close.

5-Unit Play. Competition: MLS. Take Chicago Fire ML (+115) over Cincinnati FC (Wednesday at 7:30pm). Includes 90 minutes + Injury Time.

As per your selection on Chicago Fire to beat Cincinnati FC, we believe that Chicago is the better team and should be able to get back in the win column after falling 3-1 to NYCFC in their latest game. Chicago is a team that likes to attack and we believe they can dictate the tempo and pace of this game and create plenty of chances to capitalize on. Cincy FC is a team that prefers to defend and play 10 guys behind the ball and we just don't see where a goal will come from for them. Chicago will win this game and we'll cash another soccer ticket.

5-Unit Play. Take New York City FC ML -110 over Chicago (Saturday at 7 pm). Includes 90 minutes + Injury time.

As per your selection on NYCFC to get the win over Chicago, we believe they are the better team, and with them playing at home in this matchup that should make a world of difference. NYCFC has a good bubble experience and won their first game out of the bubble 1-0 against a very good Columbus team. That'll be a momentum-building win for the men from NY whereas Chicago had lost three straight prior to beating a poor Cincinnati squad. NYCFC gets the win here tonight and we cash another soccer ticket.

4-Unit Play - Champions League Qualification. Take Over 2.5 Goals (-115) - Dynamo Brest vs Sarajevo (Wednesday at 2pm). Includes 90 Minutes + Injury Time.

As per your selection on the Over in this matchup, Dynamo Brest's defense leaves a lot to be desired. They've given up 10 goals over their last five games, winning two of those games. They come up against a Sarajevo team who has scored in their last 10 matches. This game is essentially both teams Super Bowl as winning this game and progressing to the next stage of qualifying would be the best part of their respective seasons to date. Both teams play a wide-open style of football and we expect plenty of chances and goals in this game.

6-Unit Play. Competition. MLS. Take Under 2.5 Goals - New England vs DC United (Tuesday at 7:00 pm) Includes 90 Minutes + Injury Time.

As per your selection on the under in this matchup between New England and DC United, these two teams struggle mightily to score goals and we just don't see where three goals are coming from this game. The Revolution scored exactly two goals in five games in the bubble whereas DC scored three goals in four games. Both teams keep clean sheets extremely well and with the lack of scoring prowess on either side, this makes for a very slow and low event type of game. The under 2.5 has also his in three of the last four meetings between these two sides.

4-Unit Play. Competition. Europa League. Take Inter Milan ML over Bayern Leverkusen (Monday at 3:00 pm) Includes 90 Minutes + Injury Time. For this selection to win, Inter Must win this game. As per your selection on Inter Milan to win this game, we feel they are the better and more complete team, and once again they have match fitness over Leverkusen who have only played one competitive game since the beginning of July. Inter are on a nine-match unbeaten streak including six wins and four straight. Bayer had a difficult end to their domestic campaign and defensively we just don't see how they'll be able to keep Inter's potent attack at bay. Great line for Inter and we are all over them.

5-Unit Play. Competition: Europa League. Take Inter Milan ML (-125) over Getafe (Wednesday at 3:00 pm) Includes 90 Minutes + Injury Time. For this selection to win, Inter Must win the Game.

As per your selection on Inter Milan, this is a team in great form and we believe with the Serie A just finishing up last weekend, the fact that they are still in playing form will help them immensely against a Getafe side who last played a game nearly three weeks ago. Inter has won three straight games, scoring 7 and conceding 0. They know that this is their best chance at a trophy this season and they are one of the favorites to lift the Cup come the end of the tournament and it all starts with a much important home win against ta Getafe side that has not won a game in six matches with four of those being losses. In fact they only have one win in their last 10 games. Inter with their attacking ability, should be able to take care of a weak Getafe side.

4-Unit Play. Competition: English Championship. Take Brentford ML (+115) over Fulham (Tuesday @ 2:45 pm). Includes 90 Minutes + Injury Time. For this selection to win, Brentford must win this game in regulation time.

As per your selection on Brentford to win this game against Fulham, we love the way this team plays it's attacking brand of football as they can score goals in a hurry (ask Swansea) and are just never out of any game in which they go behind 1-0. Brentford has a solid record when they go off as the favorites, cashing in a whopping 73.8 percent of the time. As for Fulham, they had their 9-match unbeaten run come to an end with a 2-1 defeat to Cardiff in the second leg of the semi-finals. The showed us how vulnerable defensively they can be and with Brentford's attacking ability, Fulham could be in for a very big disappointment today. Brentford has ton three of the last five head-to-head meetings between the two with two draws. Look for Brentford's offense to be too much and for them to win this game and earn promotion to the EPL.

8-Unit Play. Competition:  EPL. Take Over 2 Goals (-115) - Wolverhampton vs Everton (Sunday at 7:00 AM) Includes 90 Minutes + Injury Time. For this selection to win, there must be three total goals or more two goals is a push.

As per your selection on the over 2 goals in this matchup, I'm shocked to see this total at 2 as both of these teams have conceded their fair share of goals this season and they've also scored a good amount as well. Wolves need to win here to keep the chasing pack at ba for the final Europa League spot while Everton is just playing out the string. At home, Wolves have just 2 losses over their last 10 games and they've seen an average of 2 goals scored per game. Everton doesn't exactly travel well as they've lost three of their last five away games and those games averaged 3.1 goals per game. There is enough attacking talent on both sides for both teams to score in this one and we expect Wolves to be the better side from start to finish and find a winner and push this game over the number. Five of the last six games between these two sides have gone over ?2? and we expect that trend to continue.

7-Unit Play. Competition: EPL. Arsenal +1.5 (-105)  over Manchester City (Wednesday @ 3:15 pm). Includes 90 Minutes + Injury Time. For this selection to win, Arsenal must win, draw or lose by one goal.

As per your selection on Arsenal to cover the +1.5 goal line, let's face it, Man City would have preferred if the EPL season was canceled so they could focus all their efforts on the UCL which is set to resume in August. City simply can't catch Liverpool for the EPL title and as such will likely come out of this break with very little motivation, and we see them using this as a training match to get their match fitness back under them. Arsenal is in the same boat, but they at least have a fighting chance of catching the fifth and fourth spots and qualifying for Europe. Arsenal was finally starting to turn around their form before the stoppage having won three straight PL games and going unbeaten in five. We've seen it throughout Germany and Spain with the restart, teams are rusty and blowouts are very rare with the exception of the top teams playing the bottom teams. These two teams are competitive and as such, this should be a one-goal game either way.

4-Unit Play. #304 (5Dimes). Competition: German Bundesliga. Take Dortmund -1.5 (+100) over Dusseldorf (Saturday at 9:30 AM) Includes 90 Minutes + Injury Time. For this selection to win, Dortmund must win by two or more goals.

As per your selection on Dortmund to win in a route here, you have the second-place team taking on the third last team, a team that has just one win since the restart. Dusseldorf is terrible defensively having given up 60 goals in 30 games and we expect Dortmund to come out and post at least 3 goals in this matchup. They are still within striking distance of Bayern for the top spot, but they can not afford any more slip-ups. Dortmund is fully fit for the stretch run and we expect them to continue the recent history between these two teams where Dortmund has won three straight H2H meetings while outscoring Dusseldorf 11-4.

8-Unit Play. #314 (5Dimes). Competition: German Bundesliga. Take Paderborn +0.5 (-130) over Werder Bremen (Saturday at 9:30 AM) Includes 90 Minutes + Injury Time. For this selection to win, Paderborn must win or draw.

As per your selection on Paderborn to come away with at least one point against Bremen, this is a great opportunity for them to build on their recent run of good results which include four draws out of five matches since the restart. Prior to the stoppage, Paderborn was the welcome mat for every team. Since the restart, they've held some decent teams to low scoring draws including seventh place Hoffenheim and second-place Leipzig in their most recent outing. Now they get to take on a fellow relegation team in Werder Bremen who have hit a wall and look destined to drop. Bremen simply cannot score as they've managed 0 goals one their last two games and what's worse, is that they create very few chances to do so. This game looks like a very open and free-flowing game and from what we've seen out of both sides, we believe Paderborn is best suited for that style of play and can put up at least two goals on a terrible Bremen squad. This is a max play for us, and we expect it to cash with ease!

7-Unit Play: Take 202567 DRAW +400: Bayern Munich vs. Leverkusen (9:30 a.m., Saturday, June 6) NOTE: This is a 3-way bet. I'm playing Munich & Leverkusen to play to a draw (tie) in full-time, which means 90 minutes of regulation plus any extra time the referee adds due to injuries and other stoppages. If this game ends in a Munich or a Leverkusen win, we lose our bet. (If you need any further information on how to make the bet, please refer to the link at the top of the page).

I'm playing Bayern Munich & Bayer Leverkusen to play to a draw (tie) on Saturday. Leverkusen is in a battle with Gladbach right now in the standings and need points, even picking up one in a draw would help. Munich knows the title is all but theirs and could play a more conservative brand of soccer. Leverkusen won in Munich earlier this season (second straight win in the series) and showed they have the speed to match the top team in the league. Munich has crushed the lower ranked teams in the league but games against the current top five teams have been much closer.

4-Unit Play. #151 (5Dimes). Competition: German Bundesliga. Take Monchengladbach ML(-130) over Freiburg (Friday at 2:30 PM) Includes 90 Minutes + Injury Time. For this selection to win, Gladbach must win the game.

We are on an incredible soccer run right now, posting a 10-2 record for +$4,700 including Wednesday's 4* win with Frankfurt. Let's keep it rolling this weekend!

As per your selection on Gladbach to get the job done and win all three points, we watched every minute of their latest win and loved what we saw. They play a great attacking style of football and rarely get caught out in defense, as seen by just 35 goals conceded in 29 games. They should have little trouble scoring against Freiburg or keeping them out as they've managed just four goals in their last four games while giving up six. Freiburg is not a side that takes advantage of home-field, having won 6 and lost 6 including three of their last four games. With no ?home crowd? to cheer them on, Gladbach's ability and talent should be able to allow them to play freely and dominate the match from start to finish. Gladbach is without a defeat in 5 straight away games and they've scored first in four of them, meaning an early goal will likely see them rolling to three points.

7-Unit Play. #007/008 (5Dimes) Competition: German Bundesliga. Take over 2.5 Goals (-110) - Frankfurt vs Freiburg (Tuesday at 2:30 PM) Includes 90 Minutes + Injury Time. For this selection to win, there must be three or more goals scored. As per your selection on the over in this matchup, when I think of lack of defense, Frankfurt is the first team that comes to mind. Frankfurt has given up 49 goals this campaign and in their two games out of the restart they've allowed Bayern to net 5 and Gladbach to net 3. You simply don't fix your defensive woes overnight and with them hovering just above the relegation zone, they need to ensure they score goals because it's inevitable that they conceded them. Over their last five losses, Frankfurt has given up more than 2 goals in each of them, with the total hitting an average of 3.6 conceded. They are extremely slow starters as well having given up two first-half goals in each of their last three games. And at home is where the damage is done - averaging a whopping 3.62 goals per game at home while seeing 76% of their games fly over the 2.5 goal mark. Freiburg has played loose on the road, having seen 65% of their away games allow both teams to score, with none of them ending in a 0-0 draw. This game is going to be played at a fast pace and with plenty of scoring chances which will give us a winner on the over 2.5 goals.

7-Unit Play: Take 202469 Borussia Dortmund -120 over Wolfsburg (9:30 a.m., Saturday, May 23) NOTE: This is a 3-way bet. I'm backing Borussia Dortmund and need them to win in full-time, which means 90 minutes of regulation plus any extra time the referee adds due to injuries and other stoppages. If this game ends in a Wolfsburg win, or a tie (Draw), we lose our bet. (If you need any further information on how to make the bet, please refer to the link at the top of the page).

We cashed a 7-Unit play last weekend with Wolfsburg but a big chunk of that play was an anti-Augsburg bet. Wolfsburg got us the win but I expect the big step-up in class to be their undoing on Saturday. Dortmund's Erling Braut Haaland may be the star of this game but they're a side with massive depth at both ends of the pitch. In fact, Dortmund owns arguably the deepest roster in the league outside of Bayern Munich. Wolfsburg will attempt to slow down Haaland but they'll have plenty more to worry about. Dortmund have produced six straight clean sheets against Wolfsburg, have beaten them four straight times on the road, and own 8 wins, no losses, and 1 draw in the last nine meetings, overall. Dortmund is hot and cannot let off the gas if they wish to catch Bayern Munich. Every game is a virtual must-win despite being one of the top teams in the league. I expect the series domination to continue and I'm backing Borussia Dortmund on Saturday. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

3-Unit Play. #001 (5Dimes) Competition: German Bundesliga. Take Union Berlin +0.5 (-155) over Hertha Berlin (Friday at 2:30 PM) Includes 90 Minutes + Injury Time. For this selection to win, Union Berlin must win or draw.

As per your selection on Union Berlin to come away with at least one point in this matchup, we believe they are in fact the better team despite trailing Hertha in the standings by one point. Union Berlin can score just as consistently as Hertha, but Union has the ability to keep the goals out of the back of their net, unlike Hertha. This game is going to be decided by one mistake, and we expect Union Berlin to be the one to capitalize on it.

I don't love the line movement in this match - the line went up to -140 over the weekend and has since come back down - but I love the matchup here for Bayer. This team is four points out of the top four (and qualification to the Champions League. They are actually just five points out of third place, and a win in this match would be huge for the Leverkusen side. Werder Bremen, on the other hand, is clearly in the relegation zone. They have been the worst team in the league this year, posting a -28 goal differential (18th out of 18). They are nine-points deep into relegation and their defense has been a wreck. They have allowed 12 goals in their last five matches and have the worst defense in the league. I think that Bayer is going to get at least two goals in this match and I don't think that Bremen is going to be able to do enough to keep up.

Once again: these odds don't reflect the minimal talent difference on the field. FC Koln was in the second division last year! They had been relegated the year prior, so the fact that they are mid-table right now should be taken with a grain of salt. They have a negative goal differential and Mainz actually dominated them in the most recent meeting (back in October). Koln (which may be posted as Cologne in your book) also had three positive coronavirus tests heading into the re-opening. I think that could be a distraction for this group and a major concern. And dealing with real-world issues like that may make it more difficult for them to dominate an alleged weaker team.

This Eintracht team can be tricky. They have actually been better than B.M. over the last two seasons. They are behind them in the standings this year but are a team that I think benefitted from the layoff. Eintracht had lost three of four matches before the break and had been coming off the rails. But this team had some big moments in February - including 4-1 and 5-0 wins - and they can show up here. BM had some momentum back in March, but that has been blunted. I think that the odds on this match are off when you consider that there isn't a major talent gap between the two teams. One had positive momentum and one had negative momentum. But they are both starting from scratch now so I think that increases the chances of an upset.

7-Unit Play. #508 (5Dimes) Competition: MLS. Take Los Angeles  FC -1.5 (+100) over SJ (Wednesday @ 10:30 pm). Includes 90 Minutes + Injury Time. For this selection to win, LAFC must win by two or more goals.

As per your selection on LAFC, we know that they are the best team in the MLS by far, but this is more of a fade of SJ who come into this game as their third road game in 11 days, having lost both previous games by a score of 2-1. Playing three straight away matches in soccer is tough and with all the travel they've done over the last 11 days, to they are simply going to run out of gas here tonight. Look, LA is on one of those rolls right now where they are scoring at will and winning games. They've won four straight and have scored 2, 4, 2, and 4 in those games. Now they get to take on an SJ squad who has given up 14 goals in four straight losses to LAFC over the last two seasons, and we have the makings of a potential blowout here tonight. We are going to take LAFC on the goal line in this one as we see them racing out to a scoreline of 4-1.

4-Unit Play. #104 (5Dimes) Competition: English Premier League. Take Arsenal -0.5 (-125) over Newcastle (Sunday @ 9:00 am). Includes 90 Minutes + Injury Time

This game is rather quite simple from a betting perspective. Arsenal is the better team. Newcastle will be fighting the relegation fight all year long. Arsenal has one of the best-attacking trios in the EPL while Newcastle lost most of their best-attacking threats. Yes, Arsenal can be prone to defensive errors, but we expect around 75% of possession in Arsenals favor, which will limit the amount of chances Newcastle have to break forward and really threaten the Arsenal net. We expect Arsenal to put in at least 3 here in this spot, and we don't see Newcastle being able to match that.

3-Unit Play. #102 (5Dimes) Competition: International Champions Cup. Take Inter Milan +0.5 (+110) over Tottenham (Sunday @ 10:00 am). Includes 90 Minutes + Injury Time. For this selection to win, Inter Milan must win or draw.

We are on a tremendous soccer run this summer and we are extremely excited about what lies ahead in soccer with the EPL starting up next Friday! Sign up now and join in on all the winning.

As per your selection on the above to fixtures, we've spent plenty of time watching the ICC fixtures over the last two weeks or so and we like what we've seen from Inter Milan and Manchester United enough to trust them in these spots this weekend. Look, United is looking good on the field and off the field as well as they are bringing in reinforcements in the likes of Harry Maguire and possibly Paulo Dybala from Juve. United are going to be a solid team this year, and no better way to head into the EPL season than a win over a formidable opponent. The only problem is that AC Milan are has-beens and they are rumored to be shipping out more players before the transfer market closes. This is a team in turmoil internally and we don't see them keeping up with a fitter and fresh team in United.

Inter Milan, on the other hand, have had a good summer so far and while Tottenham has just secured the Audi Cup by beating Bayern on their home soil, we see this game as a bit of a flat spot for them as they rest up for the start of the EPL season. Two different teams coming into this game in different forms and with different motivation is enough for us to take the half-goal cushion and ride Inter Milan as we expect them to get us at least a draw in regulation time.

5-Unit Play. #154 (5Dimes) Competition: MLS. Take Over 2.5 Goals (-120) - New York vs Columbus (Saturday @ 10:00 pm). Includes 90 Minutes + Injury Time.

We are traveling across the country today so no time for a lengthy writeup. We are banking on the fact that NYRB games have seen at least 4 goals scored in six of their last 8 games. We like the fact that Columbus comes into this game in desperate need of a win, so we expect them to try and attack which leaves them vulnerable at the back end. The opening goal has been scored within the first 20 minutes in three of the last four meetings between these two teams and we know Columbus can score as they've seen both teams score in three of their last four fixtures. We see this as a 3-1 type game.

4-Unit Play. #002 (5Dimes) Competition: International Champions Cup. Take Arsenal +0.5 (-105) over Bayern Munich (Wednesday @ 11:00 pm). Includes 90 Minutes + Injury Time. For this selection to win, Arsenal must win or draw.

As the Domestic seasons draw closer to kick-off, we are going to hone in on the International Champions Cup to get a good read on these big club teams. This tournament is classified as an exhibition but still serves as a useful platform for new transfers and clubs to prove their fitness and worth. We are extremely excited about what lies ahead in soccer and I encourage you to get signed up for a season-long package so that we can make money together!

As per your selection on Arsenal +0.5, we love the fact that they've been in the United States for a week and have already played a game vs Colorado. In the game, the veteran players were used sparingly with the youngsters getting the majority of the action and rewarding their coach. Now it's the veterans turn to get into match fitness and get a run in and we like their situation much better than we do Bayern's. Arsenal will feature what will essentially be their starting XI (bar one or two changes), with just Koscielny out of duty. Bayern will be without replacements for Ribery and Robben - both of whom helped the club to another Bundesliga title last season. With this being just the preseason and Bayern's first (un)official game, they will likely just be pleased with a 90-minute kickabout where nobody picks up any knocks and they can rotate the squad throughout the game. Arsenal has the better and deeper squad in the U.S and we believe their match fitness will see them through to at least a draw in this one.

5-Unit Play. #054 (5Dimes) Competition: Champions MLS. Take Los Angeles FC +0.5 (-140) over Houston Dynamo (Friday @ 9:00 pm). Includes 90 Minutes + Injury Time. For this selection to win, LAFC must win or Draw As per your selection on Los Angeles FC, we simply believe that these two teams are even in terms of talent and as such we are going to side with the the team who is better at putting the ball in the back of the net. LAFC have scored a blistering 50 goals through just 19 games this campaign and that's 14 more than the next best team in the west and 11 more than any team in the east. Houston, while unbeaten in 10 at home have been poor defensively as of late and it should be especially concerning to Houston fans that the team has given up 3 to FC Cincinnati, 2 to New England, 2 to San Jose and 4 to Portland. Those teams are not very good and now they have to deal with the best attacking team in the league. LAFC has scored 6, 5, 3, 3, 4, 2 in their last 7 wins and we don't envision a scenario where they don't find the back of the net at least twice. We are grabbing the half goal as a cushion in this spot, but it wouldn't shock us to see LAFC win outright.
