Yesterday turned out to be a good day: 15 winning picks and 8 losers, with the run finishing in the green. Careful, though: the current month is still negative, so this is no time to get cocky. Today we have four picks pending, still without a result, and below I'll tell you which one we like most.

📊 James Harden (Cleveland Cavaliers): 9 assists in 39 minutes. Our line was under 6.5.

❌ Nashville Predators vs Colorado Avalanche

Josi finished with 4 shots and the line was under 2.5, so that pick was lost. From the game we only have the final number, so we're not going to invent explanations.

✅ Central Córdoba vs Velez Sarsfield BA

Vélez won 0-5 at Central Córdoba's ground and the 1.95 odds were more than covered. A pick that was right and came in right, with no suffering.

✅ Sacramento Kings vs Memphis Grizzlies

Wells scored 16 points against a line of 11.5, so the over on points cashed comfortably. Odds of 2.08 well taken advantage of.

❌ Sacramento Kings vs Memphis Grizzlies

Kings +5.5 fell through: Memphis won 112-123, an 11-point margin. The under 237.5 in the same game did land, with 235 points, so the match gave us one of each.

❌ Sevilla vs Osasuna

Both Teams to Score with Sevilla winning 2-0: Osasuna stayed at zero and the pick was lost. Odds of 1.98 that didn't come in.

❌ América Mineiro vs Cuiabá

The draw at 3.4 was the day's risky pick and it ended 1-0, so it didn't land. When you play at high odds, these results come with the package.

✅ Charlotte Hornets vs Washington Wizards

Charlotte won 110-103 and left us with three cashed picks: the moneyline, the -2 handicap and S. James's under 14.5 PRA, who finished on 10. It was the cleanest stretch of the day.

❌ Cleveland Cavaliers vs Minnesota Timberwolves

We bet under 6.5 assists and Harden dished out 9 in 39 minutes, when his average is 37. He also shot 7 of 17 from the field and 3 of 9 from three. It was a standout night for the player as a passer, and it ran us over.

❌ Flamengo vs Atletico Mineiro

Both Teams Not to Score in a 3-2 is one of those picks that gets lost fast. We got this one badly wrong.

❌ Boston Celtics vs Chicago Bulls

Bulls +13.5 wasn't enough: Boston won 134-99. Even so, the under 234 points landed with 233 and Tatum stayed on 23 points against a line of 27.5, so the game gave us more to celebrate than to cry about.

❌ Miami Heat vs Dallas Mavericks

Miami -8 was lost because Dallas won 109-113. In that same game the under 239.5 points (222 points in total) and Portis's 3 threes, clearing the over 1.5, both came in.

⭐ The pick I like most today

Torino vs Como — Como to win @ 1.82

We're going with Como to win in Serie A's Torino vs Como. It comes with Medium-High confidence and odds of 1.82, which pays reasonably for a straight market, with no handicaps or complications. It's the pick that makes the most sense to us among today's because of that mix of confidence and odds, without depending on a specific player or on rotations. That said, it's football and anything can happen: nothing is guaranteed, and the game starts at 16:45.

Remember that betting carries risk and that a good day doesn't guarantee the next one. Play smart and only with what you can afford to lose.
