Champions League pick today: Ajax vs Liverpool – Over 3.5 goals (+115), 3:00 pm ET
Liverpool’s European fixtures have produced plenty of goals this season, and that trend should continue against Ajax in Amsterdam.
Meanwhile, the Dutch champions’ last 5 matches in all competitions featured an astonishing total of 32 goals including 6-1 and 4-2 losses to Napoli in the Champions League. Liverpool hammered Rangers 7-1 at Ibrox on matchday 4, so backing over 3.5 goals looks to be the best bet this afternoon.

NBA pick today: Orlando Magic vs Cleveland Cavaliers – Under 214.5 points (-110), 7:10 pm ET
In the 3 games between these teams last season, we saw 2 unders and just 1 over, and I am looking to the under for this contest because Cleveland can be a really good defensive team and they are especially going to make it hard for Paolo Banchero with their length up front. Since the Magic are already leaning hard on their rookie, I do not like their chances of diversifying their offense with success. For that reason, backing the under will be the play.

NHL pick today: New York Rangers vs New York Islanders – Under 6 goals (-110), 7:30 pm ET
It’s rather surprising this total didn’t open at 5.5 goals, as these are 2 teams that are ideal for unders. Although the Rangers will be with Jaroslav Halak, he can do just enough to keep this game low-scoring. His start against the Jets ended with 5 total goals, and the Islanders are not a team known for their offense.
That was perfectly on display in their wins against the Rangers last season. Igor Sorokin was unbelievable in those games, as the Islanders went on to win by finals of 2-1 and 3-0. Such stout defense and goaltending has also transitioned over to the beginning of this season, so for that reason, backing the under will be the play.

NHL pick today: Edmonton Oilers vs St. Louis Blues – Under 6.5 goals (+110), 8:05 pm ET
Even with the offensive depth of the Oilers, the Blues have the ability to keep them at bay. The Blues’ defense this season has been outstanding, only giving up 9 goals in 4 games, which is first in the league. Look for the coaching staff of the Blues to try and have a set plan to slow down Conner McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. That is easier said than done, but this Blues team has proven its defense is top-notch, which makes the under the best play for tonight.
