My Best Bets

Leeds United vs West Ham United - Both Teams Score Yes (-125)
World Series Player Prop Bet - Trey Yesavage Under 5.5 strikeouts (-136)
Capitals vs Blue Jackets - Blue Jackets ML win (-105)

Leeds United vs West Ham United

The only Premier League matchup on the fixture table for Friday is featuring Leeds United vs West Ham United. Now, both of these teams have had their ups and downs in the past, but one common factor is both of these teams have managed to find the back of the net in the games. In fact, in the last 5 meetings for these two squads dating back to 2021 only once has one of the teams failed to meet the call in the match and score. Factor in a defense that has been rather porous on the season for both of these squads and it is easy to see that both of these teams should be able to put in a goal. Make sure you are on top of the Premier League action and see our full Leeds United vs West Ham United Pick.

Blue Jays vs Dodgers Player Prop

The Blue Jays are putting Trey Yesavage on the mound to start the World Series. This is an odd selection for most people and that includes me as I would not have picked him to start what could be the tempo setting game. Not to mention Yesavage is not the strongest pitcher on the Blue Jays squad and it makes it an even more perplexing choice on why he is handed the ball. Still, we like the strikeout total that is presented in this game as Yesavage is far from a strikeout pitcher. In fact the total is sitting at 5.5 total and he has only beat that mark 2 times in the last 5 games, which doesn't hold favorable for Yesavage, but does make this look like a nice juicy prop bet. If you want to help secure your money and improve odds you could always buy some strikeouts, but honestly I like the 5.5 figure and think that he will struggle to reach that Mark against a good Dodgers offense. Check out our full Blue Jays vs Dodgers prediction.

Capitals vs Blue Jackets

The Blue Jackets are sitting at a -105 in this game, but are the underdog as the Capitals are sitting at a -115. Now, this makes for a challenging pick here, but the Blue Jackets are playing at home in the game here and are coming in with a defense offense at 3.17 goals per game and a defense that appears to have settled some giving up 2.67 goals a game. The Capitals are not the same young team they have been in the past and are older and while that means more experience it does make it harder to keep up with the younger team. Still, the Capitals will make this game interesting as they are putting 3.00 goals per game, but are giving up 1.86 goals per game. With that being the case we are thinking the Blue Jackets do enough on the defensive side to bring home the win, but it will be a close game and if you want to add some type of a buffer, but really hurt your payout the Blue Jackets are a +1.5 at a -275. Still, I think the Blue Jackets do enough on their home ice to secure the win. Make sure you check out the full Blue Jackets vs Capitals Pick.
