6-Unit Play Italian Serie A Take Torino/Sassuolo OVER 2.5 (-110) (2:45 p.m. EST, Friday May 8) (Graded after regulation time - 90min - plus injury time)
This one could even see 4 or more goals. Should be a shootout. Torino’s matches here (the last 11) have averaged almost 3.5 goals per match. They have scored eight goals in their last three home matches, including a 4-1 thrashing of Parma. Sassuolo have scored two goals each in three of the last five, so they are in decent offensive form. They have scored in 9 of their last 11, so a clean sheet for the home side is unlikely.
Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

7-unit #202402 Borussia Dortmund -1.5 (+130) vs. Eintracht Frankfurt Friday, May 8th, 2:30 p.m. ESPN+ (German Bundesliga)
We're on Dortmund because the matchup, venue, and game state all point toward a multi-goal home win rather than a grind. Dortmund consistently turns Signal Iduna Park into a pressure cooker, pinning visiting sides deep, creating wave after wave of chances, and forcing weaker or upper-mid-table opponents into mistakes once they fall behind. Frankfurt's away profile fits that script: they concede plenty on the road, struggle to control tempo against top attacks, and their recent trips to Dortmund have ended in clear defeats, with scorelines like 2-0 and 3-1 reflecting how quickly things unravel once Dortmund grabs the first goal. Tactically, Dortmund's aggressive wide play and vertical passing stretch Frankfurt's back line, while Frankfurt's need to chase European spots pushes them to open up rather than park the bus, which only increases the risk of a second or third goal late. Combine that with Dortmund's motivation to secure 2nd and boost goal difference, and you get a high-percentage scenario where a routine home win clears the -1.5 more often than the market implies.

4-Unit Play. Take #206861/206862 'Over' 2.5 (+115) Univ Craiova at CFR Cluj (2 pm, Friday, May 7)
CFR Cluj has some turmoil as coach Daniel Pancu has been linked to Rapid - the club where he played for so many seasons. I still expect CFR to play well here on their home pitch but Universitatea Craiova is favored on the road for a reason here. Look for a 2-1 type of match at least in this one and I love the plus money on the over at 2.5 goals. CFR Cluj lost the most recent meeting 2-0 and they could not generate shots on goal in that match so I definitely expect a focus on that here and offense will be the priority in this one as the hosts look to stay alive in their run for winning the league title. 4* OVER 2.5 (+115) in CFR Cluj
Italian Serie A
4-Unit Play. Take #201241/201242 'Over' 2.5 (-110) Sassuolo at Torino (2:45 pm, Friday, May 7)
This should be a rather wide-open match. I say that because this is a match-up of two mid-table teams. They are not concerned about having to avoid relegation nor are they battling hard to qualify for a position in the table that would grant them a European spot. In other words, both clubs can throw caution to the wind a bit here and I expect the goals to fly as a result. Torino has scored an average of 2.5 goals in their last 4 matches here at home. Sassuolo has been shutout twice in last 10 matches but has scored an average of 1.8 goals in the other 8 matches. I would not be surprised to see a 2-2 battle here and surely we should get to at least 2-1 in this one. 4* OVER 2.5 -110 in Torino

4-Unit Play: Take 200002 Liverpool -120 over Chelsea (7:30 a.m., Saturday, May 9)
We need Liverpool to win in regulation + stoppage time. Both teams have dropped off from last season but Liverpool still has a Champions League berth on their mind while Chelsea has slipped well down the table. Chelsea has lost eight of their last 10 matches including a 3-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest earlier this week. Liverpool has some bumps and bruises but should have more than enough to hand defeat to the Blues. I’m backing Liverpool on Saturday. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

7-Unit Play. Take Southampton (+130) over Middlesbrough (7:30 a.m., Saturday, May 9)
This is two-way betting. This is betting without the draw. A draw would be a ‘push’ or a tie in this game. Southampton is the underdog in this one because it is at Middlesbrough. This is the Championship playoffs. They have two-leg playoffs. The winner of this four-team playoff will earn promotion to the Premier League next season. Middlesbrough was outplayed at Wrexham last week. They managed a 2-2 draw. They are just 2-2-1 in their last five matches. Southampton has the same record over that stretch. They have played a much tougher schedule and their one loss in their last 23 matches came on the road against Manchester City 2-1 in the FA Cup. Southampton had a 1-0 lead in that match with 11 minutes to play before allowing two late goals. I think Southampton is the stronger side and will back them here as underdogs on the two-way play.
