LAS VEGAS – With Olympic tennis beginning and the continuation of the Call of Duty League as well as the MLB on Friday, there are certain betting lines that can seemingly be exploited.
Olympic Tennis: Fabio Fognini vs Yuichi Sugita
Fabio Fognini is clearly the better player in the matchup. He is ranked over 100 spots higher than Yuichi Sugita in the tennis world rankings which doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll win but shows the difference in talent between the two. Online sportsbooks have Fognini favored by a decent margin in the match.
Fognini vs Sugita Spread Odds
- Fognini -5.0 EVEN
- Sugita +5.0 -130
The difference in this game is likely going to be Fognini’s ability to win return games. In his 8,287 return games, he has won at a 27% clip and over the last calendar year is ranked No. 32 in break percentage.
Sugita isn’t necessarily special in any area as he wins 74% of service games and 19% of return games. Those betting on tennis should feel confident in Fognini’s ability to hold his serve and break enough games to cover this spread.
Call of Duty League: Dallas Empire vs Seattle Surge
A week ago, the daily sports betting preview talked about how the Dallas Empire was overvalued against the Florida Mutineers and the Empire went on to lose that match as a big favorite.
It’s unlikely that Dallas will lose to Seattle, but it’s very possible that the Surge can steal a map.
Empire vs Surge Total Odds
- Over 3.5 -115
- Under 3.5 -115
Since the start of Stage 4, Octane has a 1.18 K/D (highest in the series) and Gunless has a 1.01 K/D (third-highest in the series).

It’s fair to argue that Seattle, despite being one of the worst teams in the league, has two of the three best players in this matchup. Of course, the game is not decided by kills, but it is a good indication of how the series may go.
Anyone betting on the CDL can back the Over without too much of a sweat because Seattle would only need to win a single map for the bet to cash.
MLB Betting: Rangers vs Astros
Simply put, these are two of the worst hitting teams in the league over the last two weeks.
They have the two lowest ratings in wOBA, wRC+, BA and OBP across all MLB teams. Despite this, the total is still set at a relatively high number.
Astros vs Rangers Total Odds
- Over 8.5 -120
- Under 8.5 EVEN
With Kolby Allard and Jake Odorizzi on the mound, MLB bettors may be scared away from taking the Under, but pitching always beats hitting which means bad pitching will likely beat bad hitting, and honestly, these two starters aren’t even too bad.
The Texas Rangers bullpen has a 3.43 FIP (fourth-best in MLB) over the last two weeks and the Astros relief unit has the No. 12 WAR over the last month. If these MLB betting trends keep up, there shouldn’t be too many runs on the board in this game.
