23:45 SEA Mariners @ PHI Phillies

PHI Phillies

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.50

Win

The Phillies look like good value here as they are 4 wins above the Mariners. Form-wise, they are much better, with Seattle losing 4 of the last 5 and the Phillies having won 3 of the last 4.

Over 8.00

Game Totals

50 WIN

@1.83

Win

The last 2 games for the Phillies have been full of runs, with 19 against Seattle yesterday and 20 in the game before. Three of the last four for Seattle have hit the overs.

23:40 HOU Astros @ DET Tigers

DET Tigers

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.62

Win

I think the Tigers should be able to continue their really good recent form here, as they have won 4 of the last 5. With the Astros having lost 3 of their last 4, and the Tigers smashed a win by 10-0 yesterday.

Got to carry on the trend that the overs line should be hit. With only 7 required here, all 4 of the last 4 meetings between these 2 teams would have cleared that.

23:40 STL Cardinals @ MIA Marlins

Game Totals

50 WIN

@2.00

Win

Really like the overs here with both teams hitting well over this mark in their last 3 games each and 11 runs in the game last night. So the overs appeal here.

23:40 TOR Blue Jays @ PIT Pirates

Over 7.50

Game Totals

50 WIN

@1.87

Win

Three of the last four for the Jays and three of the last five meetings between these two teams have seen the run line hit at this level. With questions over the quality of the pitchers here, I'll go with the overs.

@1.73

Win

Super consistent and has been around at this level for a while. It should have the beating of these, and with a liking for the track and conditions, must be on the shortlist here for this one.

19:45 AFC Wimbledon v Cardiff

Cardiff

50 WINAThis tip was used on Football 4Fold Acca.

@2.20

Win

Cardiff should excel at this level, and the early season games reflect that as they have 7 points from 9. With 3 wins in the last 4 and unbeaten for some time now, I just think the class will win this one.

19:45 Boston Utd v Halifax

Boston Utd

50 WIN

@2.25

Lose

-50

Boston have been solid in pre-season, and that's moved on to the early season where they won their only league match 3-2 away at the weekend. Halifax have lost their last 2 games.

19:45 Carlisle v Solihull Moors

Carlisle

50 WIN

@1.50

Lose

-50

Carlisle at home should be strong at this level. With a good start to the early season, they sit 5th, and Solihull are yet to win. Carlisle are unbeaten at home in 5, and Solihull away have won only 1 of the last 5.

19:45 Colchester v Cambridge Utd

Colchester

50 WINAThis tip was used on Football 4Fold Acca.

@2.62

Lose

-50

With a solid away win at the weekend, I think Colchester will come back home and take the win. They have a 5-game unbeaten run at home, and they won the same meeting last season by 6-0. I'll take that again here.

19:45 Kidderminster v Oxford City

Kidderminster

50 WIN

@1.53

Lose

-50

Think Kiddie, with a good form line of 3 wins in the last 5 and 6th in the league early season, should have too much here. Looking at the previous meetings, Kiddie are unbeaten in 4 and won 2 of those.

19:45 Peterborough v Barnsley

Barnsley

50 WINAThis tip was used on Football 4Fold Acca.

@2.20

Win

Posh have started the season and pre-season in awful form and have lost 5 games on the spin. With Barnsley coming into this unbeaten in 5 and 3rd in the early season table, I think they'll win again here.

19:45 Swindon v Barnet

Swindon

50 WINAThis tip was used on Football 4Fold Acca.

@2.30

Lose

-50

Barnet are yet to win this new season and have scored only 1 goal in their 3 games. So, at home, I really think Swindon, who are 6th early in the season with 6 points from 9 and have 3 wins from the last 5 at home, should win again here.

19:45 Woking v Wealdstone

Wealdstone

50 WIN

@3.10

Win

105

Wealdstone look great value here. They are in brilliant form with 5 wins on the spin and sit joint top early in the season with maximum points. With Woking pointless, having scored only 1 goal, it's an away win here for me.

18:30 Trent Rockets vs Manchester Originals The Hundred

Trent Rockets

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.00

Open

The Rockets are in great form and won easily in the last game against the Brave with 4 wickets in hand at the end. With 4 of the last 5 meetings going the way of the Rockets, I'll take them here.

15:00 Trent Rockets Women vs Manchester Originals Women The Hundred

Manchester Originals Women

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.80

Win

Manchester should have too much here and sit above in the standings. With 3 wins in their last 4 games against the Rockets, who have lost 4 of the last 5, I think the form line will follow here.

11:00 Middlesex vs Kent One Day Match

Middlesex

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.73

Win

Middlesex have started well and sit 2nd in the standings behind the mighty Yorkshire. But at home and with Kent bottom of the phase, I think the home side should win through here. They have won 3 of the last 4 games.

05:30 Australia vs South Africa 1st ODI

Australia

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.44

Lose

-50

The Aussies are in great form at the moment with 4 wins from the last 5 games and 2-1 up against the SA team here. So, I think with the batting quality they have, they should be too strong here.

23:45 SEA Mariners @ PHI Phillies

Over 7.50

Game Totals

50 WIN

@1.87

Win

With 20 runs in the last game for the Phillies, just think that could continue here. Looking at the pitchers starting on the mound and with 3 of the last 4 hitting the overs for the Mariners at this line.

23:40 HOU Astros @ DET Tigers

Over 8.50

Game Totals

50 WIN

@2.05

Win

I'll take the overs here as the last two games for the Tigers, and that's the same stat for the Astros, have seen the overs line hit at this level and likely the same again.

23:40 STL Cardinals @ MIA Marlins

Over 7.50

Game Totals

50 WIN

@1.91

Win

80% of the last 5 games for the Marlins have seen the overs line hit at this level, and with 75% of the last 4 for the Cards, I just think this total is quite low. So I'll take the overs.

23:40 TOR Blue Jays @ PIT Pirates

Over 7.00

Game Totals

50 WIN

@1.95

Push

Like the overs here, although 2 of the last 3 for the Pirates have been under. But before that, they hit a game of 17 and 14 runs. With all of the last 3 for the Jays easily hitting the overs line at this level, I think it looks good value here.

If Leeds are to score here, just think their main man will be Piroe, who will also be on the penalties. With 19 goals in the Championship last season, I think he could start this season well.

Looks good value for someone who picked up 9 yellow cards last season and is away in what will be an electric atmosphere. The Leeds midfield will have to play strong. I think he could well make a rash challenge and pick up a card.

19:45 Udinese v Carrarese

Udinese (AH) -1.50

Asian Hcap

50 WIN

@1.88

Win

I think Udinese, who started the friendlies in solid form as they finished last season and with 5 wins on the spin, will have too much against a Serie B side here and cover the AH.

Erzurumspor FK (AH) 0.25

Asian Hcap

50 WIN

@1.92

Win+Push

Erzurumspor FK have a great head-to-head record. They won their opening match 2-0 at home to a solid team. In the previous meetings, they have won 3 of the last 5 and drew the other 2. So, it's another chance for the away team here.

19:30 Kasimpasa v Trabzonspor

Trabzonspor (AH) -0.25

Asian Hcap

50 WIN

@1.95

Win

Got to take Trabzonspor here, who have some decent form and started the season well with a 1-0 victory. With the home side in poor form, with 4 losses and a draw in the last 5, it's an away result here for me.

19:00 Ajax Reserves v AZ Reserves

Looking at the previous meeting in Amsterdam, AZ have a great record. With both tasting defeat in the opening match, I'll take AZ here, who have won the last three at this ground.

19:00 FC Utrecht Reserves v ADO Den Haag

ADO Den Haag (AH) -1.00

@2.00

Lose

-50

Den Haag were outstanding in the 1st week and won 5-1 against Willem, so they look strong enough here to continue the good start. With ADO having only 1 win in the last 5 matches, I think the away side could have a say here.

Inside the top 30 in all his last 10 events, so shows his quality and consistency. With an opening 64 last week, he can go low early here.

Started really well last week at the St. Jude with a 67, so hoping he repeats that here. If so, he could well be near the top early.

Finished the St. Jude's with 2 brilliant rounds of 66 and 68, so hoping he carries that forward to a track that looks likely to suit his style.

Had hit the top 40 in all of his last 3 events, and with a T5 at the Italian Open where he shot a blistering 62, he can hopefully recreate that here and go low early.

Frederic Lacroix

If he can recreate the three sub-70 rounds as he did at the German Open, just think we'll probably get his high odds here for an early lie round.

With a good performance last week in the USA, where the first two rounds were both under 70, and seeming to be hitting some decent form, now on home soil, he could start well.

It had to be winning at this level if any sort of progression is to be seen. From the last run, it has seen a subsequent runner, which it beat, then go and win. So arguably, the form is franked.
