Pick for May 19, 2021 (WEDNESDAY)
Game will start on 03:00 PM EST, ITALY: Coppa Italia - Final
Match: Atalanta - Juventus
[WIN!!!] - PICK: JUVENTUS ML for 2 UNITS (1.95 ODDS).
As per my selection on Juventus to win this game and to life the trophy, this is their biggest game of the season and anything short of a win and a trophy would make the season a massive failure. Yes, I know they didn't win the Scudetto for the first time in nine seasons, but that run was going to end eventually. This game means so much more to the club because not only are they fighting for their coaches life, but they are fighting for a little success and a little pride to end the season on. Juventus have been mired in a rut all season long, until their last two games (both wins) in which they finally showed some character and resolve and finally put all the pieces together. Will this game against Atalanta be tough, absolutely, but Juventus still have world-class players at their disposal and they are the far more talented team. As for Atalanta, yes, this Coppa Italia Finals is a chance to make another statement in the Serie A after having already secured a Champions League spot for next season. However, this game is going to test Atalanta as they've never been tested before. It's easy for them to beat up on the weaker teams in Serie A and score a bunch of goals, but the Finals of a tournament is next-level pressure and no team knows how to cope with the pressure of being in a Finals better than Juve. I expect Juve to come out and play for their pride, their coach, and their goalkeeper, Buffon who will essentially be playing his last game for Juventus here tonight.

Game will start on 03:15 PM EST, EPL
Match: Burnley - Liverpool
[LOSS] - PICK: OVER 3.5 GOALS for 2 UNITS (1.85 ODDS).
There is going to be a lot of firepower happening in this game. You have a Burnley team that got destroyed in its last game 4-0 by Leeds United, and the last time this team came off a loss was to Man United losing 3-1 and immediately next game they put up a 4-0 win over the Wolves (they were coming off back to back losses that game). This team just comes off a 4-0 loss and were likely looking ahead to Liverpool and they face a Liverpool team that just beat West Brom 2-1 and now face a Burnley team that actually shut this team out 0-1 last time. So, you know Liverpool is going to be upset, they are going to look to score a slew of goals and why wouldn't Burnley be upset losing 0-4 and that is the reason why this total is so high here given the recent results of both teams and therefore, look for this game to likely go over the posted total today.

Game will start on 01:00 PM EST, EPL
Match: Newcastle - Sheffield Utd
[WIN!!!] - PICK: NEWCASTLE ML for 2 UNITS (1.70 ODDS).
Newcastle has wrapped-up another season of EPL status but Sheffield is locked into a last place EPL finish and relegation at season’s end. A lack of offense has been Sheffield’s biggest issue all season and they’ve scored 19 goals in 36 games. They’re 2-8 in their last 10 matches overall, scoring just three goals, while allowing 21. And Sheffield is 1-8 and have been shutout seven times in their last nine on the road. Newcastle lost its last two home matches but those were against Arsenal and Manchester City. This home match comes against a team they should be able to handle. In fact, Newcastle is on a 5-1 head-to-head run, out-scoring Sheffield 10-3. I’m backing Newcastle on Wednesday.

Game will start on 10:00 PM EST, NBA
Match: Los Angeles Lakers - Golden State Warriors
[WIN!!!] - PICK: UNDER 218.5 for 2 UNITS (1.84 ODDS).
The Lakers have the No. 2 defense in the NBA, and only the Knicks have been better. This team is going all out to slow down Steph Curry tonight. Last two times these teams met, the Lakers held Curry to around 21 PPG. Without Curry scoring a big number this Warriors team doesn’t have much of a chance. While these teams still get another chance to make the playoffs even if they lose, this is still the most important game of the season for both clubs. We expect both teams to give full effort on defense, and the Warriors will need to step up their defensive intensity if they want a chance to pull the upset here. We think LA keeps Curry somewhat in check and that the other players don’t really step up as much as they would need to get this one over the posted number. Six of the last eight meetings have gone under the posted total.

Game will start on 07:30 PM EST, NBA
Match: Memphis Grizzlies - San Antonio Spurs
[PUSH] - PICK: MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES -4 POINTS for 2 UNITS (1.86 ODDS).
I'll roll with the Grizzlies here as it's hard to imagine that this team is not going to be motivated to play well given that they just lost to the Warriors for the previous sport, and also lost to the Blazers in last year's play in as well. Do they really lose yet again? They destroyed the Spurs the previous two times and though the Spurs have a lot of revenge coming in, it's hard to think that these Grizzlies simply do not get up for this game. Let's roll with the Grizzlies here to avoid losing back to back games here after a loss to the Warriors and now as they face the Spurs they don't want the same situation to happen to them to what happened to them last year. Hence, let's roll with the Grizzlies.
