I like the Padres at given odds. They've completely dominated the Mariners this season, winning all five of their previous meetings. While the pitching is tight, San Diego's 27-18 season record and head-to-head record give them a clear edge over Seattle.

Taking the Padres with the extra run is a safe play considering they've won 5 of their last 7 games. They've dominated the previous meetings with a perfect 5-0 record against Seattle this year.

I'm leaning toward the under. Both starters are high-quality. George Kirby's 2.84 ERA is elite. Giolito makes his season debut, but he had great seasons before. Seven of the Padres' last 10 games have stayed under this total.

Flamengo are 2nd in the table. They picked up seven wins from their last 10 games. They have also dominated this fixture lately, with six wins from the last nine meetings against Athletico Paranaense. I expect the visitors to prove they are the better team here.

I don’t think both teams will score. Athletico Paranaense failed to score in 6 of their last 9 matches, and their games have been very quiet lately, with 1 total goal in the last 3 matches. With 7 of the last 10 head-to-head meetings ending with at least one clean sheet, this looks likely.

Flamengo are a much more reliable team. They scored in 9 of their last 10 matches. Since Athletico Paranaense have struggled and didn't score in 6 of their last 9, I expect Flamengo to win this without conceding a single goal. They won 2??"0 in the last head-to-head match.

A 2-0 win for Flamengo looks the most likely result. They scored at least twice in six of their last seven wins, and they beat Bahia 2-0 not long ago. As the last three matches for Athletico Paranaense stayed under the 2.5-goal line, this score makes sense.

I will take a risk with a 2-0 win for Vitória. They scored in 9 of their last 10 games and just won 2-0 against Flamengo. Red Bull Bragantino lost 2-0 to Santos in their recent match, so I think a repeat of that scoreline is likely.

Remo look like the stronger team lately. They picked up 3 wins from their last 5 matches, while Chapecoense suffered 7 losses in the last 10. Remo recently beat Bahia, and I think they have enough to take all three points in this meeting. Draw no bet is a safe choice.

I pick a 2-1 win for Atlético Madrid. Their recent dominance in this fixture ??" four wins in a row ??" and conceded goals in the last three games make this score appealing. With both teams scoring in eight of their last ten, a narrow home win makes sense.

Allen is incredibly durable and has never been finished in his professional career. Every single career loss for Allen has been decided by the judges.

Díaz should take this on the scorecards. He has seven career wins by decision and his record is 15-1-1. Wellmaker is very tough and has never been finished in his career. Since neither man has ever dropped a fight inside the distance, I expect Díaz to outwork Wellmaker to earn a decision victory.

Bukauskas has a massive experience advantage here. He has picked up seven wins in the UFC and recently put together a run where he won four of five fights against seasoned pros like Paul Craig and Ion Cu?elaba. Edwards is younger but has never fought in the big promotion. I don't think he's ready for someone who has stayed as active as Bukauskas has lately.

I expect Bukauskas to end this early. He has earned 11 of his 19 professional wins by knockout, and he recently put away Paul Craig and Raffael Cerqueira with strikes in the first round. Edwards has lost a fight by knockout before and hasn't faced anyone with the level of power Bukauskas has shown throughout his career. I'm backing Bukauskas by knockout.

Cuamba has earned five of his wins by decision, and his reach will help him outpoint Sopaj from distance. Sopaj is tough, with just one KO loss, and has never lost by submission.

Veretennikov has 10 knockout wins, but Williams has never lost by knockout in his professional career. Williams has dropped four fights by decision, though, and Veretennikov has shown he can win on the cards against opponents like Francisco Prado. I expect Veretennikov to stay active and pick up a win on the scorecards because Williams is so durable.

I’m going with Palmeiras to win and both teams to score. The league leaders are on a 10-match unbeaten run and should have too much for Cruzeiro. Since Cruzeiro have scored in 9 of their last 10, I expect them to get on the scoresheet as well. Palmeiras won 2-1 in this match two seasons ago.

I’ll go for a 2-1 win for Palmeiras. It’s hard to look past the top side in the league given they haven't lost in 10 games and play at home. Both teams score almost every week, so a tight game with Palmeiras coming out on top feels right. Two of their last three meetings finished 2-1.

I'm siding with Tokkos here. Erslan has struggled since moving to the UFC and is currently on a 3-fight losing streak. Tokkos holds a massive 9 cm reach advantage, which should make life very difficult for Erslan. Since Tokkos picked up a win in his last fight and it's clear Erslan is struggling, the momentum is definitely with Tokkos.

I'm going with the Braves. Bryce Elder has been elite with a 1.81 ERA, and Atlanta's 31-14 record shows they're on another level. Boston has lost their last two games and four of their last five. Since Atlanta took their last meeting, I'm confident they'll get the job done again.

I expect the Braves to win this comfortably. Elder's elite ERA should shut down a Boston offense that is struggling anyway. Atlanta is 5-1 in their last 6 games, and they've shown they can dominate when they have their best arms on the mound. I'm taking them to cover the spread.

Both starters have ERAs under 3. These teams have seen the under 7.5 hit in 14 of their last 20 combined games. Boston is on a six-game under streak, while Atlanta has seen the under in four straight. Their last meeting stayed low, and I expect another defensive battle.

I'm siding with the Mets in the NY derby. The pitching matchup is heavily in their favor. Huascar Brazoban has been great this season with a 2.14 ERA, and the Mets have shown better recent form, winning 6 of their last 10. Carlos Rodón is struggling with a 6.23 ERA, making it tough for the Yankees to keep pace despite their better overall record.

I'm backing the Mariners. Logan Gilbert is the much more dependable starter in this spot. While their previous meetings this season have all gone San Diego's way, Walker Buehler's 5.20 ERA is a major vulnerability for the Padres. Seattle should score enough to secure a home win.

It's hard to bet against a team that's 13 games over .500 for the season. The Cubs have been solid all year. Since they've already gotten the better of the White Sox yesterday, taking the insurance of the run line here makes a lot of sense for a safe play.

These two just combined for a high-scoring shootout yesterday, 10-5. I'm expecting more of the same. The White Sox have been averaging 5 runs scored in their last 10 games, while also giving up nearly that. Even with Martin's strong season ERA, the recent scoring form of both lineups suggests we'll see more than 8 runs.

I'm backing the Rangers here because Jacob deGrom is a true ace on the mound. His 2.62 ERA is elite and should shut down a Houston offense that's struggling to score. While the Astros won the previous meeting, Texas has the better overall record and a much stronger starting pitcher in this one.

Cavalcanti by decision is the play. She has picked up 7 of her 10 career wins by the judges' scorecards, including every single one of her UFC fights. Vieira is incredibly durable, with just 1 KO loss in 20 bouts, and she has never lost by submission in her career. Since both women have a habit of going the full distance, I expect a long battle where Cavalcanti's activity and reach help her edge the score.
