Without further delay, here are JefeBet’s picks for today, take down note!
JefeBet App – Premier League
Manchester City vs Newcastle United
Will Manchester City Win by More than 2 Goals?
After being eliminated dramatically in the Champions League against Real Madrid, the only thing left for the team led by Pep Guardiola is to secure the English domestic tournament, thus saving their season from being described as a resounding failure.
Liverpool’s draw against Tottenham Hotspur only puts more pressure on the Citizens with the opportunity to move within three points of first place with only two games left to play, all but clinching the title barring another debacle like the one that occurred on Wednesday. Across the last 28 games played between the two, Newcastle has won only on one occasion, with a 2-1 victory in 2019 at their home stadium (St. James Park).
And on the other side of the coin, Manchester City have never lost at the Etihad Stadium to the black-and-whites, which only adds to their potential victory. Pep’s team must prove that they are not down with a convincing victory, and they will probably do just that, with an exact two-goal advantage in the true score.
Pick: By 2 exact.
JefeBet App – MLB
Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Chicago Cubs
How Many Strikeouts will Walker Buehler get?
The Cubs are averaging a consistent 11.4 strikeouts per game over the last seven games they have played, while Walker Buehler has averaged 5.2 strikeouts over his last five starts of the campaign, but we all know his capabilities as the primary rotation ace of the Los Angeles.
Here, the 27-year-old right-hander has a chance to raise that average and deliver one of his strongest starts so far in 2022, en route to adding another win for Dave Roberts’ team. We confidently say that Buehler will likely get more than six strikeouts in this game, and may prove to be one of the safest picks to happen on the day today.
Pick: 6+.

JefeBet App – NBA
Phoenix Suns vs Dallas Mavericks (Game 4)
How Many Points, Rebounds, and Assists Will Luka Dončić Make?
It’s no secret that the Slovenian is the main reason why the Mavericks can tie the series tonight, having won a solid victory in Game 3 of the series, which was played at Dallas’ American Airlines Arena. During these three initial games Luka has averaged 35.3 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 steal with an efficiency of 50.6% from the field and 39.3% in three-pointers.
For Jason Kidd’s team to get its second win in the Western Conference Semi-Finals, Doncic has to perform, and for the Suns that will be a tough task. Even if he doesn’t have the most effective of games, we can see the 23-year-old European outperforming his current averages with such an important commitment over the line.
Pick: 56+.

Miami Heat vs Philadelphia 76ers (Game 4)
How Many Points Will Miami Score in the Game?
The Heat got a taste of their own medicine in the third chapter of the saga against the Sixers. As they were limited to less than 80 points scored for the first time in the postseason (79), while Philadelphia finished the game with 99 points to their credit. We don’t expect this to hold up, but we will be able to enjoy a much more balanced series with the return of Joel Embiid to the court.
For the team coached by Erik Spoelstra, it is essential to return to Florida with a victory, with the playoffs on the brink of completion. Holding a 3-1 lead opens the window for Miami to manage the series as it sees fit, but a 2-2 tie could represent an upswing for the Sixers worrisome enough to label them as the next favorites.
The Heat are bound to surpass 100 total points, and in order to win comfortably, a range between 108 and 112 points is indicated to secure their win as long as their defense continues to be as effective as usual.
Pick: 108-112.
