Four consecutive 5–1 cards. Tuesday’s only miss was Finland failing to turn possession into a goal; Spain and all four MLB selections won. The €50 slate returned €71.04, putting the challenge into overall profit for the first time at +€10.09.

Wednesday’s €50 card
Today’s card does not simply photocopy yesterday’s winners. The MLB selections lean on the Game 2 pitching matchups, while the two European picks use very different approaches: a handicap on the shortest favourite and a straight win on a team with a strong head-to-head record.

The thinking
Barcelona Women –2 — €7 at 1.57
Barcelona are only 1.09 to win outright, so that price contributes little to a six-bet card. Moving to the three-way –2 handicap lifts the price to 1.57, but it also means Barcelona must win by at least three goals; a two-goal victory does not push. This is the day’s calculated upgrade rather than a free square.
Philadelphia Phillies moneyline — €10 at 1.93
The Phillies lost Game 1, but today’s starting-pitching edge points the other way. Cristopher Sánchez is listed at 18–7 with a 2.91 ERA, while Atlanta’s Tyler Mahle is 7–10 with a 3.99 ERA. Near-even money is generous enough for the joint-largest stake.
Bayern Munich Women to win — €8 at 1.29
Bayern have won seven of eight matches this season and have never lost to Benfica in four Champions League meetings, winning three. Benfica’s opening win at Juventus prevents this becoming the largest stake, but Bayern still have the stronger overall profile.
Chicago White Sox moneyline — €7 at 2.34
This is the value swing. Chicago won the opener 6–3 and Sean Burke brings an 11–7 record with a 3.34 ERA. Hunter Brown’s 3.19 ERA gives Houston a narrow pitching edge, but not enough to make a 2.34 price on the 84-win White Sox uninteresting.
New York Yankees moneyline — €8 at 1.76
Sonny Gray and Max Fried are closely matched on ERA, so this is not a pitching mismatch. The case rests on New York’s 93-win season, home field and the 9–0 Game 1 performance. The stake stays at €8 because rivalry games remain professionally qualified nonsense.
San Diego Padres moneyline — €10 at 1.76
San Diego pairs a 51–30 home record with the clearest Game 2 pitching advantage: Nick Pivetta’s listed 2.86 ERA against Kevin Gausman’s 4.51. After an 8–0 opener, the Padres retain the €10 top stake without needing any momentum mysticism.
