4th April 2026
00:45 MIL Brewers @ KC Royals
MIL Brewers
Money Line
50 WIN
Michael Wacha was listed to start on the mound for the Royals, but due to ill health he has been stood down. Ávila is now listed as their pitcher, which undoubtedly means a bullpen game. This is bad news, as the Brewers are hitting well with 45 runs, the joint-highest total along with the Astros. The Brewers hit better and have a clear pitching edge.
02:38 SEA Mariners @ LA Angels
SEA Mariners
Money Line
50 WIN
Angels have Detmers on the mound, who is good at striking out batters but does give up too many earned runs. Angels have Woo, who is an elite pitcher that can go deep and won't give up too many runs. Angels just give up too many runs, so Mariners have the edge.
02:45 ATL Braves @ ARI Diamondbacks
ATL Braves
Money Line
50 WIN
Rodríguez for the Diamondbacks had a better debut game than Holmes for the Braves. However, one game is not a lot to go on. Last season, Holmes had a 3.56 ERA and Rodríguez a 5.01. Irrespective of how the starting pitchers do, I think the bullpens are the key to this one. The Braves have one of the strongest bullpens, whereas the D-backs probably have the worst. They were battered again yesterday, and even if leading before the bullpens come out to play, the Braves should turn this around.
07:30 St George/Illawarra Dragons v North Queensland Cowboys
North Queensland Cowboys
To Win
50 WIN
After losing the first two games, the Cowboys responded well by winning their next two. The Dragons have lost all. Losing to fellow strugglers Gold Coast Titans last week was a poor effort. Putting just 14 points on the board in that game suggests that they can't live with the Cowboys.
09:35 Gold Coast Titans v Brisbane Broncos
Brisbane Broncos
To Win
50 WIN
Gold Coast did beat St. George Illawarra last week, but that isn't saying a lot. Prior to that, they lost all three and have barely troubled the scoreboard. Broncos were hugely disappointing in their opening two games but showed their quality when bouncing back by winning the next two. They look a level above the Titans.
11:00 Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians T20
Mumbai Indians
Win Match
50 WIN
Delhi Capitals have a 1??"5 record against the Mumbai Indians in the last three seasons and may struggle to improve on that in this one. Both had a fine win in the opener, but Delhi were probably more impressive. They were set a formidable target of 220 but chased it down with five balls to spare and six wickets in hand. They simply look a stronger batting unit.
12:00 William OConnor vs Sebastian Bialecki
Sebastian Bialecki
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
Willie O'Connor isn't in the best of form, losing 11 of his last 15 games. Many of those losses were to lowly ranked players. Bialecki, by contrast, has 8 wins from his last 10, and he reached the semi of the last Players Championship. Although ranked lower, he is showing the better form.
15:00 East Kilbride v Annan Athletic
East Kilbride
50 WIN
East Kilbride remain just one point above Spartans in their bid to claim the only automatic promotion spot. With Spartans playing bottom-side Edinburgh City, they cannot afford to drop points in this one. Annan have won three of their last four, but all those wins came at home. Annan have the worst away record in the league, so in-form East Kilbride can win this.
15:00 Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals T20
Rajasthan Royals
Win Match
50 WIN
Titans' batting was disappointing in game one, with the team batting at a sedate pace. Buttler did hit 38 but did so in 33 balls, which just doesn't cut it. Gill went one better with 39, but the rest of the bats did little. RR absolutely dominated CSK, bowling them out for 127 and chasing it down in 12.1 overs. With CSK posting 209 in their next match, that makes RR's effort even more impressive. I simply don't see Titans' batters being able to keep up.
15:00 Stranraer v Dumbarton
Yes
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
Dumbarton have been one of the best both-teams-to-score teams in the league. That changed in February when their stats took a knock, with 5 of their 7 games not ending with both teams scoring. They seem to have shaken that off, though, with their last three games all seeing both teams score. Stranraer at home are an excellent BTTS side, with only 3 of 15 not seeing both teams score. Yes, looks like the option.
17:30 VfB Stuttgart v Borussia Dortmund
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
When these two meet you can guarantee goals, with the last 15 games all going over 2.5. Coming into this, Dortmund's last 5 away games have all gone over, and Stuttgart have only had 7 of their 27 games go under.
20:00 Atletico Madrid v Barcelona
Barcelona
50 WIN
Barcelona will be keen to win to maintain their gap to Real at the top. Atletico look assured of a Champions League spot, so may prioritise their midweek Champions League game. Barcelona are the stronger team anyway, so I think they prevail.
5th April 2026
09:00 Tour of Flanders 2026
Mathieu Van Der Poel
Win Outright
50 WIN
Van der Poel and Poga?ar have dominated this race in recent years, with five wins between them from the last six years. Van der Poel has won three and Poga?ar two. Poga?ar is capable of riding away from anyone, but Van der Poel has a massive engine. If he can stay with Poga?ar until near the end, he will be impossible to drop.
16:15 Metz v Nantes
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
The two bottom sides clash and it looks like a must-win game for both. Neither are good at defending, so I wouldn't expect a tight defensive game. Rather, a gung-ho style, trying to outscore the opposition.
18:00 Ciudad Encantada vs BM Nava
Tie
Money Line
50 WIN
After losing seven straight away games, Nava turned things around by winning three on the bounce. They were all close games, though, settled by one or two points. Ciudad Encantada are just one place above Nava, and given Ciudad's recent form, I like the tie.
19:00 Tour Championship 2026
Zhao Xintong
50 WIN
World Champion Zhao Xintong has continued his fine form this season, winning the Riyadh Season Championship, World Grand Prix and the Players Championship. Over long distances like this, he looks fiendishly hard to beat and is looking unbeatable when at his best.
22:45 Valero Texas Open
Ludvig Aberg
25 EW
Last time Aberg looked set for the win at The Players, but on Sunday he found the water on back-to-back holes when seemingly in control. This saw him pushed down to fifth, with him being 4 over on the day. I don't see him replicating that. His 63 on Friday shows how well he is playing, and this course should suit his game, so I'm expecting him to bounce back in a big way.
10th May 2026
14:00 Pakistan Super League 2026
Lahore Qalandars
Outright Winner
25 EW
It's a chaotic PSL this season with no crowds, just two venues, and substandard players due to them bizarrely scheduling it against the IPL. Qalandars won last season and have won three of the last four. They retain a strong squad. They possibly have the best selection of bowlers, and although the batting could be said to be a bit too heavy, there is quality there. I expect a strong performance from them.
27th May 2026
14:00 Indian Premier League 2026
Gujarat Titans
Outright Winner
25 EW
According to the bookies, Gujarat Titans are the second-worst side in the competition, but I don't see it. Jos Buttler is a concern after a poor T20 World Cup campaign, but he is too good a player to keep playing that badly. I see him enjoying the fresh start. Even if he underperforms, there are enough quality batters in the side to step up. I also like their mix of bowlers and can see them going deep.
Mumbai Indians
Outright Winner
50 WIN
Mumbai Indians look the strongest side on paper and should go well. They had the best net run rate last season but just missed out on the play-offs by one point. They have a wealth of batting talent to choose from, although perhaps they are over-reliant on Bumrah in the bowling department. That may not matter, as I see them posting consistently high scores.
14:00 Indian Premier League 2026 Mumbai Indians
JJ Bumrah
Top Team Bowler
50 WIN
I'm just not convinced by Boult at the moment and think Bumrah is a much more reliable option. You can guarantee he will play his full quota of overs each match and simply looks the best, most consistent wicket-taker.
9th September 2026
11:00 County Championship Division 2 2026
Lancashire
Outright Winner
50 WIN
Lancashire underperformed, finishing 5th despite having a strong squad. They've really impressed with signings over the winter, enrolling quality players at this level, so I see them doing a lot better than 5th.
15th September 2026
11:00 County Championship Division 1 2026
Warwickshire
Outright Winner
25 EW
Warwickshire finished down in 5th last season but were hampered by drawing nine games, the most in the league. They've strengthened their squad and look capable of a better performance this season.
6th December 2026
13:00 Formula 1 Drivers Championship 2026
Max Verstappen
50 WIN
Verstappen kept himself in the title race last season despite clearly not having the best car. That speaks volumes about his skill, which should see him once again go well this season. Despite him slamming the new regulation, it should be to his benefit as he has the skills to master the new designs. The Red Bull has looked very promising in practice, so I rate him as the most likely winner.
