Estudiantes’ recent results hide a side that has been making chances. Racing arrive with a new coach and a planned return to a back four after an away run in which they have allowed openings. That combination points to a livelier contest than their meeting in March. My judgement turns on how Estudiantes’ home pressure meets Racing’s reshaped midfield and back line.

I expect this return meeting to bring chances at both ends. Costa Rica created plenty against Haiti in their previous match but left without a goal, while Haiti made a small number of attacks count. Bryan Ruiz now leads Costa Rica at home after its response against Nicaragua. Haiti's quick attacks, crosses and set pieces give this match another route to goals.

Both of these games come right after a lopsided result that says less than it seems. KCC lost by 35 in the KBL opener mostly because its two best guards couldn't hit a three. Samsung lost 12-0 to Doosan because its starter was scratched hours before the game. In each case, what caused the blowout is gone for the next game, and that is what this pairing is built on.

This matchup turns on what happens after Atlanta's starter leaves. Blake Snell gives Los Angeles a strong opening stretch against a Braves lineup that did less damage against left-handed pitching this season, while Ray Kerr is returning soon after a short outing. I expect the Dodgers' hitters to keep pressing into the middle innings, where this series opener was decided.

This combination pairs two heavy favorites that boast clear structural advantages in their respective matchups. The Dominican Republic has already proven they can thoroughly dismantle Nicaragua's defense, generating an overwhelming volume of chances in their recent encounter. Meanwhile, Mobis Phoebus returns home to face a KCC Egis squad that is currently in a defensive freefall. With both opponents struggling significantly in their own halves, backing these two superior sides provides a reliable approach.

Motivation and pitching depth are creating a massive mismatch in Suwon as the KBO regular season wraps up. KT Wiz are in an all-or-nothing spot, needing a victory to clinch the regular-season title, while the Lotte Giants are eliminated and limping to the finish line. The Giants' pitching staff is decimated by injuries at the worst possible time, giving the home side a clear path to a comfortable win.

Hanwha are falling apart and Kiwoom have their number. Hanwha have lost five in a row and nine of their last ten, and Kiwoom just beat them 7-2 and 9-3 in this same ballpark. I am siding with the team that has been winning this matchup, and I like that the price treats Hanwha as the clear favourite anyway.

The Los Angeles Dodgers hold a massive structural advantage on the mound in Game 2 of the NLDS. While the Atlanta Braves are forced to deploy an opener and lean entirely on a heavily taxed relief corps, the Dodgers are countering with a traditional starter in Blake Snell. With a well-rested bullpen behind him, Los Angeles is in prime position to control the pace of the game from the first pitch and pull away.

The first game turned when Atlanta had to leave its opener. Los Angeles went scoreless against Dylan Dodd, then its middle order got to the relief staff. With Blake Snell taking the ball next, those middle innings are the hinge of this matchup.
