Oakland Athletics vs Cleveland Guardians Picks and Predictions May 1st 2026

May 1, 2026 By Scores And Stats | MLB

Two teams that finished April with at least a share of the lead in their respective American League divisions go head-to-head to begin May when the Cleveland Guardians face the Athletics on Friday night in West Sacramento, Calif. Cleveland left-hander Joey Cantillo (1-1, 2.97 ERA) and Athletics right-hander J.T. Ginn (0-0, 3.24) are the scheduled starters in the opener of the three-game series. The Guardians are seeking to repeat a series win earned in their first-ever trip to West Sacramento last June. To do so, they'll have to deny the A's a fourth consecutive series win. The Athletics took two of three from the Seattle Mariners, Texas Rangers and Kansas City Royals to move atop the AL West at a

Colorado Rockies vs Atlanta Braves Picks and Predictions May 1st 2026

May 1, 2026 By Scores And Stats | MLB

The 2026 Colorado Rockies were destined to be better than the 2025 team, and they've lived up to that expectation. Colorado reached 14 wins five weeks earlier than last year's 43-119 squad and is coming off a 4-2 road trip. The Rockies will try to build on that success when they host the Atlanta Braves on Friday night for the first of a three-game series in Denver. Right-hander Grant Holmes (2-1, 3.62 ERA) will be on the mound for Atlanta while Colorado will counter with left-hander Jose Quintana (1-2, 4.91). The Rockies won just a single road trip during the 2025 season and matched that when they swept the New York Mets before taking one of three games against the

Leeds United vs Burnley Picks and Predictions May 1st 2026

May 1, 2026 By Scores And Stats

Burnley visit Leeds United at Elland Road on Friday, May 1, 2026, in a Premier League Matchweek 35 matchup with very different pressure on each side. Kickoff is set for 8:00 PM local time, and Leeds have a chance to move closer to locking up top-flight safety in front of their home crowd. Leeds enter 15th with 40 points, six points above the relegation zone with four matches left. That gives them some breathing room, but not enough to coast. A win here would make the survival picture look much cleaner, especially against a Burnley side already confirmed for relegation. Burnley sit 19th with 20 points and have already dropped back down. That makes their motivation harder to read. Sometimes

Pisa vs Lecce Picks and Predictions May 1st 2026

May 1, 2026 By Scores And Stats | Serie A

Pisa host Lecce at Arena Garibaldi, Stadio Romeo Anconetani, on Friday, May 1, 2026, in a Serie A Matchweek 35 matchup with major relegation pressure attached. Kickoff is listed for 3:45 PM ET, and the table situation makes this one feel tense from the first whistle. Pisa are bottom of the league, while Lecce sit just above the drop zone. For Pisa, the math is harsh. They need a win to keep survival hopes alive, and even that may only delay the inevitable. They come in with just two wins through 34 league matches and a five-match losing streak, so the home underdog case is mostly about urgency, not form. Lecce are not exactly comfortable either. They have 29 points

Girona vs RCD Mallorca Picks and Predictions May 1st 2026

May 1, 2026 By Scores And Stats | La Liga

Girona host RCD Mallorca at Estadi Municipal de Montilivi on Friday, May 1, 2026, in a La Liga Matchweek 34 spot that feels much bigger than a normal late-season fixture. Kickoff is set for 8:00 PM local time, with both clubs sitting in the relegation fight and needing points for very different reasons. Girona enter 15th with 38 points, while Mallorca are 17th with 35 points, only one point above the drop zone. That makes the game state tricky. Girona can create real separation with a home win, but Mallorca cannot afford to leave Montilivi empty-handed. It is not quite a final, but from a betting perspective, it has that same nervous edge. The market is giving Girona the slight
