| WCUP | (225317) Tunisia at (225318) Sweden: Total | 10:00pm EDT - Jun 14/2026 |
The PLAY: Total Over 2.0 (-149)
Sweden is rightfully the favorite for this Group F match, at Monterrey Stadium, in Mexico. However, Tunisia is a capable team. Tunisia plays a disciplined, defensive style. That has helped in providing a low O/U number. In a group which includes the Netherlands and Japan, both these teams should be going all out for a win. Though the Swedes didn't play up to their potential in qualifying, they've got a talented team. They should be able to break through and score. Assuming that happens, it will open things up, as a desperate Tunisia squad tries to get level. That will either lead to the African nation scoring themselves, and/or conceding again. A 2-1 Sweden victory won't surprise. Let's go with the over.

The PLAY: Total Under 7.5 (100) Paul Skenes (RHP), Spencer Arrighetti (RHP) Must Start
Off three straight losses, we should see the best of Paul Skenes on Wednesday. While he did suffer another loss last time out, Skenes didn't pitch badly. He allowed just one run through 5 1/3 innings, striking out 10. While he doesn't have the big name that Skenes does, Spencer Arrighetti has been extremely sharp. He's 7-1 with a 1.34 ERA on the season. At home, where he's 3-0, his ERA dips to a dominant 0.89. Expect a well-pitched affair. Play the Under *good at 7 or better
