LAS VEGAS - Welcome to the Daily Sports Betting Preview on this fine Tuesday!
First up on the Preview, FC Porto faces off against Chelsea in the second leg of their Champions League matchup. Then, Dignitas battles Team Liquid in the CS:GO BLAST Premier Spring Showdown. Finally, in Major League Baseball, the Miami Marlins take on the Atlanta Braves.
There’s a lot to cover, so let’s get started!
Soccer Betting
FC Porto and Chelsea only have this leg remaining in their Champions League Quarterfinal Matchup.
This was the most lopsided matchup in the Quarterfinals before any games were played, and a 2-0 Chelsea victory in the first leg made it even more lopsided.
Now that they have the lead on aggregate, Chelsea can hang back and rely on any away goals they score today to keep them in the clear, as long as the game is close.
Chelsea vs. FC Porto Moneyline
- Chelsea -120
- FC Porto +330
- Draw +270
The moneyline sees Chelsea as an odds on favorite even with the possibility of a draw. The online sportsbooks do not think that last week’s performance was a fluke.
Porto is a good team, but at this point in the Champions League, they might be in over their heads.
Chelsea vs. FC Porto Spread
- Chelsea -0.5 (-120)
- FC Porto +0.5 (+100)
The spread for the matchup is half a goal in Chelsea’s direction, and the fact that it’s a fairly limited spread speaks to the lead they already have.
Chelsea can easily qualify for the next round of the Champions League by simply playing for a draw - they don’t need to win this match.
Chelsea vs. FC Porto - To Qualify
- Chelsea -2500
- FC Porto +1200
The odds for each team to win the tie are heavily in favor of Chelsea thanks to their 2-0 victory in the previous leg.
Soccer betting fans will know that those two goals are a steep barrier to overcome, and Porto are arguably the weakest team left in the Champions League - and thus the least likely to overcome such a deficit.
This matchup airs at 3:00 p.m. EST and will be available on Galavision and Paramount +.
CS:GO Betting
Counter Strike: Global Offensive is one of the biggest esports in the world, and today’s featured matchup sees top tier names like Dignitas and Team Liquid going head-to-head.
This matchup is heavily lopsided in favor of Team Liquid, a perennial contender, who are currently ranked seventh in the world by ESL.
Dignitas, on the other hand, is 35th in the ESL rankings, and has never been ranked in the top 20 by ESL.
Dignitas vs. Team Liquid Moneyline
- Dignitas +260
- Team Liquid -375
The odds are heavily in favor of Team Liquid to take the win in this matchup, as there is a significant gap between these two teams in terms of quality.

TL is coming off of a tough loss in the playoffs of the ESL Pro League, but they’re still a threat to any team on the planet, especially a team like Dignitas.
The playoff loss to G2 makes one wonder about inconsistency, given how excellent TL played during the Pro League, but they should still easily be good enough to take care of Dignitas.
Dignitas vs. Team Liquid Spread
- Dignitas +1.5 (-130)
- Team Liquid -1.5 (+100)
The way spread betting in CS:GO works is that it’s a wager on the amount of games necessary to take a win.
A wager on TL -1.5 is effectively betting on TL to take a 2-0 victory in the overall match, as opposed to any other outcome.
The fact that they’re sitting with even odds to do so is a testament to how far ahead of Dignitas they actually are in the minds of esports betting enthusiasts.
This matchup airs at 12:30 p.m. EST, and will be broadcast on Twitch.tv.
MLB Betting
The Miami Marlins and the Atlanta Braves face off in a matchup that each team needs to win to jumpstart their season.
The Braves were expected to be one of baseball’s elite teams, but instead, they’re 4-6, and haven’t performed up to their own standards.
The Marlins went on a miracle run in the shortened 2020 season, and now they seem to be falling back to earth, with a 3-6 record so far.
Miami Marlins vs. Atlanta Braves Moneyline
- Miami Marlins +145
- Atlanta Braves -170
The Braves are -170 favorites in this matchup, which is a nod to their superior talent, even if they’re under .500 for the season.
The online sportsbooks seem to believe that the Braves are still a good team, and still worth favoring heavily over the Marlins.
Miami Marlins vs. Atlanta Braves Run Line
- Miami Marlins +1.5 (-130)
- Atlanta Braves -1.5 (+110)
The run line sees the Marlins +1.5 as slight favorites over the Braves -1.5, which is a testament to the amount the Braves are better than the Marlins by.
The Marlins are 5-4 against the run line so far this season, while the Braves are 4-6, and 1-3 against the run line when playing at home.
MLB betting enthusiasts can either take the safe play on the moneyline or get a bit riskier on the run line.
This matchup airs at 7:20 p.m. EST, and will be available via local broadcasters and MLB.TV.
