JefeBet App – MLB
Houston Astros vs Boston Red Sox
Which Team will Win the Game?
The Houston Astros are one of the best teams of the season and prior to Monday’s game against the Boston Red Sox, they had won 12 of the last 13. For its part, the Red Sox are experiencing one of their worst season starts in recent years, and they are last in the East Division of the American League.
While the choice should be the Astros, Tuesday’s pitching matchup gives the Red Sox some hope as Houston will have José Urquidy on the mound–the most inconsistent starter in that rotation–, and Boston will have one of their best arms in the figure of Nathan Eovaldi.
Urquidy on the road gave up 12 runs in four starts this season in just 17 innings for a 6.35 ERA, while Eovaldi is coming off a quality start against the Atlanta Braves and at Fenway Park this year has a 3.72 ERA.
Pick: Boston Red Sox.

JefeBet App – Premier League
Southampton vs Liverpool
Will Liverpool Win by More than One Goal?
Liverpool has a golden opportunity to cut the gap with Manchester City and put great pressure on them when they visit Southampton on Tuesday.
After City’s weekend draw against West Ham, those led by Jürgen Klopp could be just one point from first place in the absence of a championship date if they manage to beat Southampton, a team that needs at least one point to avoid the descent.
On paper, the commitment should end in a favorable result for Liverpool, who have 16 consecutive games without losing in the Premier League and who thrashed their opponents 4-0 in the first round today. For its part, Southampton, despite playing at home, does not have very good omens for this duel since in their last six games they have barely won two, with two draws and six setbacks.
Pick: Yes.
JefeBet App – NBA
Boston Celtics vs. Miami Heat
How Many Rebounds will Bam Adebayo Take in the Game?
Bam Adebayo and the Miami Heat will not have a very easy series against the Boston Celtics. And in Adebayo’s case, facing names like Al Horford and Robert Williams will bring plenty of work.
However, if Adebayo has something in his favor, it is his rebounding consistency, something he showed during the season and maintains in this postseason. The Heat center averaged 10.1 rebounds per game during the regular round and 7.7 in these NBA Playoffs. For his part, in three games against Boston this year he added 24 rebounds, for an average of eight per game.
Pick: 8-9.
