THE PLAY: Total Under 2.5 (-140)
England vs Croatia UNDER 2.5 Goals
This feels like a classic World Cup opener where caution outweighs aggression. England is the more talented side and should control much of the match, but that doesn't necessarily translate into a high-scoring affair.
England's speed and athleticism in midfield should make it difficult for Croatia to build sustained attacks and create quality chances. Croatia still has plenty of experience, but several key players are on the older side, which could limit their ability to maintain a high tempo for 90 minutes.
We like England to win the match, but there are reasons to believe they could start the tournament slowly. Despite being one of the favorites to win the World Cup, England enters with some outside distractions and expectations, and we've already seen several top teams look a bit clunky in their opening matches.
History also supports a tighter game. Of the last 18 opening matches at major international tournaments involving top sides, only two were decided by more than one goal. Teams tend to prioritize avoiding mistakes over chasing style points.
These countries know each other well, and this matchup sets up more like a chess match than a track meet. Possession, field position, and game management should be emphasized over taking unnecessary risks.
England's focus is on advancing deep into the tournament, not making a statement in Matchday 1. Croatia has similar concerns, especially with an aging roster that must carefully manage energy and fitness.
Expect a tactical, disciplined match where both teams value structure and possession. The under is the way to play it.
THE PLAY: Pittsburgh Pirates Total Over 4.5 (-140) Mitch Keller (RHP), Jack Perkins (LHP) Must Start
Athletics vs Pirates
Pittsburgh Pirates Team Total OVER 4.5 Runs
This sets up as a favorable spot for a Pirates offense that may be due for a breakout performance.
Oakland is turning to Mitch Perkins, who began the season pitching out of the bullpen before being stretched into a starting role. The results have steadily declined as the season has progressed, and his last two starts have been particularly concerning.
Across those two outings, Perkins has allowed 10 hits and 8 earned runs in just 8 innings of work. He's struggled to miss bats, hasn't worked deep into games, and has looked far less effective as a starter than he did earlier in the year as a reliever.
Even if Pittsburgh doesn't do all the damage against Perkins, the matchup remains attractive because Oakland's bullpen has been one of the weakest in baseball. The Athletics rank among the bottom tier of MLB relief staffs, meaning there should be scoring opportunities throughout the game.
The Pirates haven't been swinging the bats particularly well lately, but this is the type of matchup that can get an offense going. Facing a struggling starter followed by a vulnerable bullpen is exactly what you want when backing a team total.
With Perkins trending in the wrong direction and the Athletics lacking reliable relief options behind him, Pittsburgh has a strong chance to push across five or more runs.

Consultant Bio
Andy Lang embarked on his illustrious professional gambling journey in the early 2010s, leveraging his exceptional expertise in GOLF, NASCAR, and MMA. Prior to joining WagerTalk in 2019, Lang established himself as a respected figure in the industry through the creation of the highly regarded podcast "Bump And Run Sports." At WagerTalk, Lang's remarkable knowledge of Auto Racing, Golf, and MMA has brought profitability in every season, and with meticulous precision, Lang also specializes in Team and Player Props across a multitude of sports where his commitment to transparency and engagement with the audience shines. As a testament to his impact, Lang founded the highly successful show "Prop It Up," captivating viewers with a compelling fusion of expertise and entertainment, solidifying his position as a prominent figure in the industry.
Lang has always had a passion for player props and has helped bring them from fringe bets to main card wagers on WagerTalk. He finished as the #1 NBA Player Prop Handicapper for the 2022 regular season and is #1 on NHL Player Props since joining the company. He excels at props across all sports, including NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, Golf, NASCAR, Formula 1, Tennis, and more.
Lang has set a personal goal for his own bankroll that he has deemed “The Road To Millions,” and it is based on constant units being added and letting compound interest do the rest. For example, if you were to start with $1,000 and add just 3% to your bankroll every week and not pull any money out, you would have over $1,000,000.00 after just five years. The consistent increases in the bankroll combined with discipline and not pulling money out until the ultimate goal is reached is what Lang is working towards.
