Call of Duty League Betting Picks January 30
Boston Breach +1.5 vs. Atlanta FaZe (+125 via DraftKings)
The Boston Breach enter the Major Tournament with a 5-2 overall record during the qualifiers which puts them in fifth place overall in the standings. They have played 32 of a possible 35 games in the regular season and have won just over 53% of them.
An astounding five of their seven matches during the qualifying matches had to be decided in a fifth game. Boston Breach also took OpTic Texas to a game five during the Minor Tournament earlier this month.
It’s been a great month for Atlanta FaZe as they won the Minor Tournament two weeks ago taking down Carolina Royal Ravens for the $20,000 grand prize. They got off to a rocky start to the season dropping their first three matches. However, they have since ripped off four straight wins to close out the qualifiers including a 3-0 shutout against Boston Breach.
I can see Atlanta FaZe riding their momentum to a Round 1 win. Even still, I feel it will be hard to shut Boston Breach out for a second time in a week.
Vancouver Surge +1.5 vs. Toronto Ultra (-115 via DraftKings)
The Vancouver Surge went 4-3 in the qualifying matches and are the seventh seed in the Major Tournament. They have won three straight matches and recently handed Carolina Royal Ravens their second loss of the season last week in a 3-2 upset.
Five of their seven matches have ended in a 3-2 score this year including a five map contest against Toronto Ultra in Week 1. They have played all but two of the 35 possible maps during the qualifying round.
At 6-1, Toronto Ultra are tied with OpTic Texas for first place in the standings. However, their 63.3 game winning percentage was just shy of claiming the top spot in the tournament. The only team they have shutout this season was the Vegas Falcons who have won only four maps all year.
The books have Toronto Ultra at -270 for an outright which makes this discount worth the risk of a shutout. A $10 bet will bring you back $8.70 in profit.
Carolina Royal Ravens Over Los Angeles Thieves (+220 via DraftKings)
Carolina Royal Ravens jumped out to a 4-0 start before dropping back-to-back matches which cost them a couple of spots in the standings. As a result, they enter the Major Tournament as the fourth seed. Last week, they rallied back to win their final match of the qualifiers in a 3-2 contest against Miami Heretics.
They took down both Cloud9 New York and OpTic Texas on their way to the finals of the Minor Tournament. Unfortunately they couldn’t keep it going and lost to Atlanta FaZe. I expect them to have the same level of early success in this tournament as well.
Los Angeles Thieves went 5-2 during the qualifiers. But, they are now on the wrong side of momentum losing two of their last three matches. They earned a bye in the Minor Tournament, but were bounced in their first match by Atlanta FaZe.
This will be a tightly contested match and will likely take five maps to decide. If you don’t feel good about a Carolina Royal Ravens outright, you can take them at +1.5 for -105 instead.
