7/22 EPL/Interleague Slate
It is the final weekday of the English Premier League before the grand finale on Sunday and Manchester United is the one constant, as their game is featured on both sites. The Red Devils come in heavy -455 favorites at home against West Ham, as they aim to finish ahead of Leicester City for the final Champion’s League automatic qualification spot for next season.
Where the slates get different lies in DraftKings treating this as an inter league slate, with the addition of the Napoli v. Parma game. Meanwhile, on FanDuel, the late EPL game between Liverpool and Chelsea is the other featured game on that site’s slate.
The Napoli v. Parma game begins a half hour after the Manchester United game, whereas the Liverpool v. Chelsea game starts a couple hours afterwards.
EPL/Interleague Best Bets
Napoli (-180) at Parma (+450) – Under 3 Goals (-120) – 1:30 PM ET – Wednesday 7/22 – *NAPOLI*
The Betting Game Plan
I just don’t think there’s a lot of value in Manchester United at -455, particularly given West Ham’s strong recent form. It’s fine if they’re the chalk in DFS, but I won’t eat the money line.
One of the two primary goal scoring forwards, Dries Mertens, is an injury doubt, but Napoli still has more than enough weapons available to take care of a struggling Parma side. The other man up front for Napoli, Lorenzo Insigne, is due for some positive regression given how many shots he has been firing off recently.
Plus, Napoli has capable fill ins such as Matteo Politano, Jose Callejon, and Mexican national team player Hirving “Chucky” Lozano. Should the latter start, in DFS, he will be Hirving “Chalky” Lozano., between his $6,600 price tag and forward eligibility.

7/22 MKF Pick
Given that it is a high threshold for Mason Greenwood to hit, might as well aim for the under, which is the percentage play. As for Jarrod Bowen, with the consistency he has shown recently, when combined with the extremely low threshold of just one shot at goal, the over makes sense.
