Wednesday, May 16th

• Los Angeles Gladiators vs. San Francisco Shock (6:00 PM)

The Gladiators and Shock both went 6-4 in Stage 3 of the Overwatch League and they’ll apparently have an identical chance of getting the win in Week 1 of Stage 4. However, after seeing L.A. get completely smacked around in their final two Stage 3 matchups, I just don’t have a whole lot of confidence in the Gladiators coming into this Stage 4 opener and I believe your money is best spent on San Francisco seeing as how they finished Stage 3 with a resounding 4-0 beatdown of Florida.

• Dallas Fuel vs. Shanghai Dragons (10:00 PM)

Jeez, this one could be ugly eSports bettors. Dallas went 1-9 in Stage 3 while Shanghai went a winless 0-10. I guess, simply based on the numbers, Dallas would be the pick, but I’m going for the upset here with Shanghai getting their first stage win right off the bat – out of sheer desperation nothing else.

Thursday, May 17th

• Boston Uprising vs. Philadelphia Fusion (6:00 PM)

Philadelphia had a respectable Stage 3 record of 5-4, but they won’t be able to keep up with a Boston team that went 10-0 until falling to New York in the championship match. The Uprising will beat the Fusion in this one as they seek to claim a title that many thought they’d easily win the last stage.

• New York Excelsior vs. Florida Mayhem (8:00 PM)

New York will get the super easy win here as they seek a third straight stage title over a Florida Mayhem squad that went 2-8 in Stage 3. There’s absolutely no thinking required for this eSports betting ticket people!
