17:30 Newcastle v West Ham
West Ham (AH) 0.25
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@-113
Lose
-50
West Ham will be smarting after their equaliser was controversially ruled out against Arsenal last week. It leaves them 2 points off Spurs in the relegation fight, so they surely need something out of this. Newcastle aren't in the best of form, with 4 defeats from their last 6. So West Ham could surprise.

The best two sides for corners per game meet, with both averaging 11 per game. It's therefore touch and go whether it goes over, but given their averages it should sneak over. There were 13 corners when they met earlier in the season, and a similar level wouldn't surprise.
12:30 Man Utd v Nottm Forest
Nottm Forest (AH) 1.00

@-117
Push

A goal-start for Forest looks appealing considering their current form. They are now unbeaten in eight Premier League games, winning half of them, including inflicting Sunderland's biggest defeat of the season on them when winning 5-0 away. Man United are playing well now, but they haven't been beating sides by more than one goal. Their last six games' form reads W3 D2 L1. Not one of those wins was by more than one goal.

Other than a tough series against the White Sox, Angels pitcher Soriano has been sensational this season. In his other games he pitched 45 innings and gave up just 2 earned runs. Wrobleski for the Dodgers has also done well. He had a tough time last outing, going 8.2 innings and giving up 7 earned runs despite 7 strikeouts. Other than that, though, he has done well. As long as the Angels bullpen holds its own, I like the under.

Red Sox pitcher Payton Tolle has a 1-2 record, but that is largely because of the poor hitting by the Red Sox. He's a solid pitcher but today faces the Braves, who have been battering lefties. Bryce Elder has taken his form to a new level this season for the Braves. He has a 1.81 ERA and should be confident of restricting a feeble Sox side. Braves hit the ball well and Red Sox don't.

Davis Martin has been sensational for the White Sox this season with a 1.62 ERA. He can be relied upon to go six or seven innings, and in his 50 innings has given up just nine earned runs and struck out 52 batters. Tailon for the Cubs has a 3.94 ERA, but he does play better at home. I give the White Sox a clear edge in pitching, which could be the deciding factor.
00:10 TEX Rangers @ HOU Astros
TEX Rangers
Money Line
50 WIN
@-149

Astros have arguably the worst pitching rota in the MLB. They did shut out the Rangers yesterday but had Arrighetti on the mound, who has been their best pitcher and went 7.1 innings. They don't have that luxury today as Kai-Wei Teng takes the mound. He is basically a bullpen pitcher, so it's kind of desperation that he starts. He did go 3 innings last time but gave up 3 earned runs. I don't see him going long, putting a lot of pressure on the Astros bullpen. DeGrom starts for the Rangers, who, other than a rough outing against the Yankees, has some impressive figures.

Viana is on a three-bout losing streak, so will be desperate to turn things around. She won't win this standing, so will try her utmost to take her opponent to the mat. That won't be easy, though, as Ardelean is a quality striker who lands with significant volume. She has the ability to keep Viana at arm's length and claim the win.

Despite the odds, this looks like a competitive fight that could go either way. Bannon looks the better striker, but Caliari has the edge on the mat. Bannon has fine kickboxing skills and is an accurate lander of strikes. She has a two-inch reach advantage and the skills to keep Caliari at distance, keeping this on their feet.

Since firing manager Rob Thomson they have been on a tear, winning 12 of 15 under interim manager Don Mattingly. They have now won five straight series and could well improve on that run, as I like their chances against the Pirates. Sánchez takes the mound for them. He could hardly be in better form: in his last two outings he went eight innings and seven innings, giving up no earned runs at all. Chandler for the Pirates has a 4.62 ERA and has been walking far too many batters. I like the road team.

Ziraat Bankas? won all six group games, dropping just three sets in the process. They brushed aside Rzeszów in the last round, winning 3-0 both at home and away. Warta Zawiercie are a decent side but lack the quality of Ziraat.
19:00 Tipperary v Clare

Clare were blown away by Limerick last time and need to bounce back. Limerick are always capable of doing that, so I'm not unduly worried by the 2-30 to 1-18 drubbing. I don't see Tipperary cutting through the Clare defence as easily. Clare can be devastating in attack and can carve through this Tipperary defence and cause an upset.

Casa Pia are the best unders side at home in the league, with 11 of their 16 games going under. Their last five home games have all gone under this line. They are level on points with Estrela, both fighting to avoid relegation. With Estrela having a tricky away last game at Braga, a draw may be enough. I see Casa Pia keeping this close and trying to sneak a 1-0 win.
18:00 FC Arouca v Tondela
FC Arouca (AH) 0.25

@-121

41
Two wins on the trot have given Tondela a hope of survival, but realistically they need to win again to have a chance. As a result, they are installed as the favourites for this match. However, Arouca probably won't be going through the motions. They won away 3-1 at sixth-placed Gil Vicente last time and have been performing well at home, with their last six games' form reading W4 D1 L1.
17:30 Almeria v Las Palmas
Almeria
50 WIN
@-117
Lose
-50
Almería are level on points with La Coruña for an automatic promotion spot. Although they have the better goal difference, head-to-heads take priority in the league, so they need to outpoint La Coruña. This looks a must-win game for them, but they face a tricky opponent in Las Palmas, who are also gunning for promotion via a play-off spot. Almería's current home form is hugely impressive, with 8 wins on the trot, scoring 26 goals in the process. Las Palmas have lost 4 of their last 5 away matches, so I like the hosts.

Leigh are moving up the table after a fine spell of four wins from five. Although KR are a solid defensive unit, I can see them playing their part today. KR have won seven on the spin and are banging in the tries, scoring 144 points over their last three games. I see these two getting enough points to take this over.

When on the road, it's 50/50 whether Valladolid games go over. Of their 19 games, 10 went over and 9 under. However, they are playing Racing Santander, who have seen only 4 of their 19 games go under. Leaders Racing have banged in 47 goals from 19 home games and look capable of breaching this line by themselves.

Mezcala last time won the Spring Mile at Doncaster with ease, storming clear of its rivals by 2 and a half lengths. It was an impressive time and shows it has progressed nicely this season. It does have an 8 lb rise, but on the evidence of that run I don't see anything stopping it.
17:00 IF Gnistan v FF Jaro

Two struggling sides, sitting second-bottom and third-bottom, and there looks little between them. Jaro have drawn 4 of their 6 games, and Gnistan have drawn 2 of their last 3. Four of the last five meetings between these two have ended all square, so the draw appeals.

@-109

-50
Warrington will be smarting after their tame display in the Challenge Cup against KR, so I expect a reaction today. They are averaging 29 points per away game and should at least equal that against a fragile Toulouse defence. The ease at which York Knights recently ripped through was alarming, and a strong side like Warrington should get tries today. Toulouse, on their own turf, should figure on the scoreboard, so I think this goes over.

Quins scored 76 points at Newcastle last week but won't find points as easily to come by this weekend. Exeter have already gone to the Stoop and shut them out with a 38-0 win. Exeter are the best defensive side in the league, conceding an average of just 19 points per game, so I see this staying under.

Perugia stormed through the group stages, winning all six games and dropping just four sets. Projekt Warszawa, by contrast, snuck through as one of the better third-placed teams, losing half their matches. To be fair, they did have a solid win over Lublin, but Perugia is another step up.

Chelsea have been bitterly disappointing this season, considering their squad. This is their last chance of silverware this season, so I expect to see them at their best. They come into this with a solid draw against Liverpool. Man City have lost the last two FA Cup finals to Man United and Palace, so this may not be straightforward. I think Chelsea will get a draw at full time.

Hamilton has been priced up as a certainty despite just the one fight. Even in that win he only beat Naeem Ali, who has lost 150 of his 154 fights. Urry is limited, but he has won 2 and drawn one of his 6 fights, with his losses being to unbeaten fighters. Although J. Hamilton is expected to win easily, there are just too many unknowns to make him an attractive bet this early in his career.

I've avoided backing Gujarat Titans as I'm on them at 9.00 for the outright. I'm risking jinxing them this time, but there's no denying that they are looking like the best team at the moment. Their bowling was sensational last time, with the pace bowlers having averages of 3.66, 5.00, 7.00, and 7.66. They were so impressive that Rashid Khan was only needed for 0.5 innings. If it's a good bowling wicket, they could slice through the KKR batters. There is a worry that the wicket will be good for batters, but they are none too shabby with the bat.

Kristiansund don't offer much going forward on the road, with just one point and one goal from their three games. Molde did lose to leaders Tromsø last time, but there's no shame in that. They've won 3 of their four home games and are solid defensively, conceding a combined three goals at home. Against shot-shy Kristiansund, I see them doing enough.

York struggled badly with injuries last time against St Helens and were duly dispatched. They've had a fortnight since then, and the squad is now looking healthier. In their last home game against Toulouse they ripped through them with ease, winning 38-14. Castleford leaked 50 points to both Hull sides in their last two games, so this looks very winnable for the Knights.

Mönchengladbach have been poor this season and have just one win from their last seven. There is nothing on the line for them in this unlike Hoffenheim. Hoffenheim are assured of Europa League football but can grab a Champions League spot if they better Stuttgart's result. They have all the motivation, and I see them doing what they need to.

A win for Stuttgart should be enough for Champions League football, barring a goal glut for Hoffenheim. Frankfurt can still claim a Conference League spot, but their form isn't great with just one point from their last four. Stuttgart are the better side, so I think they get the win they dearly need.

An amazing finish to the Bundesliga relegation battle is assured. Three teams are currently on 26 points at the bottom, with the bottom two being relegated and the third-bottom facing a play-off. A draw would send St. Pauli down, and a draw could well send Wolfsburg down depending on the Heidenheim result. I therefore expect both sides to be going for the win. Although Wolfsburg leak goals, they are decent going forward. Their form isn't too bad coming into this, with two draws and a win from their last four, the one loss being 1-0 to Bayern. St. Pauli, by contrast, are winless in nine, losing six of them. They have just 28 goals this season, so I think Wolfsburg will win this.

Union Berlin have just two wins against Augsburg in their 13 Bundesliga meetings. There is nothing on the line for them in this, but an Augsburg win could see them claim a European spot. Augsburg's form coming into this is solid: unbeaten in six and winning 3 of their last 4. Union Berlin did beat out-of-form Mainz last time but had just two points from their previous six games. With so much on the line for Augsburg, I think they do enough.

A final day decider and Hearts just need a point to end the Celtic and Rangers monopoly, which goes back to 1984 when Aberdeen won the title. Hearts have conceded the fewest goals in the league, so they will be a difficult team to see off. Their record against Celtic this season is impressive, with two wins and a draw, including a win at Celtic Park. Celtic have just one clean sheet from their last six home games, and with Hearts failing to score in just four games this season, I see them doing enough to get the draw.

Motherwell occupy the last European spot, a point ahead of Hibs, so a Hibs win would see them claim the Conference League spot. Hibs bring good form into this, having beaten Rangers and Falkirk in their last two. They will undoubtedly be going for it from the off, so I see goals in this one. It was 0-0 when the sides last met, but I see this being more open, so I like the over

Storm have been bitterly disappointing, including a seven-game losing streak. They arrested that last week with a commanding 44-16 win over the Tigers. I think they can kick on from that and show they are much better than their position suggests. Eels have been competing well, but they have a long list of injuries and look vulnerable to Storm's attacking play. I think we may see a double-figure victory.

However, when he was dismissed, CSK struggled badly, and only two sixes from Dube in the last over gave them the win. If Samson and Urvil go relatively cheaply, I do wonder where the runs will come from. LSG are out and playing for pride.

Chris Sale pitches for the Braves. He has been pitching since 2010 and rarely has anything other than a good season. His last two seasons' ERAs were 2.38 and 2.58, and this season it stands at 2.20. Ben Brown starts for the Cubs, who is basically a bullpen pitcher. To be fair, he did go four innings with no earned runs last time, but I don't see him repeating that. The Cubs aren't nearly as strong on the road with a W8 L11 record, so I like the Braves tonight.
