Will Rogers Handicapper Reviews & Picks

At 10:30pm ET, my MLS Haymaker is on Houston vs San Diego Under. Tonight's Houston Dynamo vs. San Diego FC MLS match is likely to be low-scoring due to both teams' defensive tendencies and inconsistent attacking outputs. Houston has struggled offensively, averaging 1.25 goals per game with an expected goals (xG) of 24.6, and its road games often see low-scoring outcomes, with five of its last seven away matches producing under 2.5 goals. San Diego, despite leading the Western Conference with 41 goals, has shown defensive solidity at home, conceding just 0.7 goals per game across 10 home matches, bolstered by goalkeeper C.J. dos Santos’ 70.6% save rate and seven clean sheets. Houston’s disciplined 4-2-3-1 formation, led by Artur, often stifles opponents’ attacks, and the Dynamo's recent 1-0 win over St. Louis City SC highlights their ability to keep games tight. That was the 4th straight match that Houston failed to score more than a goal. With San Diego missing some key attackers due to injuries, a low-scoring, "cautious" match ending 1-0, 1-1 or 2-0 is probable. Play on the under.

At 7:00pm ET, my selection is on the B.C. Lions and Montreal Alouettes Under the total. Montreal's defense leads the CFL in yards allowed per game (308.0) and turnovers forced (12), while ranking second in sacks (11), making it tough for BC's offense, which has averaged under 18 points per game during a three-game losing streak. BC's defense has been solid against the pass, ranking second in the league, which will challenge Montreal’s passing game, especially with backup quarterback McLeod Bethel-Thompson starting due to Davis Alexander’s injury. Montreal’s offense is potentially limited by key absences like Austin Mack and Lorenzo Burns and BC’s turnover-prone quarterback, Nathan Rourke is playing his first bame back from injury and facing a stout Alouettes front four. The last meeting produced only 30 combined points. All signs point to another low-scoring game.

At 4:10pm ET, my selection is on Milwaukee. In a battle of 3-7 starters, the Brewers will have a big edge in the pitching department on Saturday afternoon. Peralta (and Misiorowski) may steal the headlines for Milwaukee but Chad Patrick is also highly capable. He's got a 3.51 ERA on the season and he's off 5 shutout innings in his last start. In his last 2 starts, he has 17 strikeouts in 10 innings, walking only 3. Patrick has pitched better than his 3-7 record but the same is not true of Cal Quantrill. On the season, Quantrill has a 5.42 ERA, nearly two full runs higher than Patrick. When pitching during the afternoon, Quantrill is 1-4 with a 6.19 ERA and 1.63 WHIP. Patrick will outpitch Quantrill and lead the visitors to victory. Play on Milwaukee

At 12:00pm ET, my selection is on Bayern Munich. This is a great matchup between two elite clubs. PSG recently won the Champions League but today's Club WC match will go Bayern's way. PSG has lost each of its last four meetings with Bayern, without scoring a single goal. The most recent encounter was a 1-0 Bayern victory in the the League Phase of the Champions League, back in November 2024. Though Bayern plays without Davies and Ito, the Germans are still absolutely loaded. Bayern head coach Vincent Kompany has insisted that his players “will be ready” to perform on the “big stage," Harry Kane, who scored twice in Bayern's last match, leads the way as the best team in Germany takes down the best from France. Play on Bayern Munich.
