This article focuses on 7/4 EPL Picks for DraftKings and FanDuel Sportsbook and Fanduel and DraftKings Daily Fantasy. We consider tournament tactics, statistics, pricing, and attempt to tackle this highly variable Daily Fantasy format so we can gain an edge on the field at large.
7/4 EPL Slate
As you may already know, they don’t celebrate July 4th in Europe. So, we have a somewhat normal Saturday soccer slate, although highly different between the two sites.
DraftKings is running a two game slate, solely consisting of the two games a main lock. However, Fanduel is also including two late games to follow.
Either way, Manchester United will be huge chalk on both sites as they are easily the largest favorite on the day with -550 money line odds. Chelsea, featured on the Fanduel slate only, is the second largest favorite, despite coming off an awful loss to lowly West Ham.
EPL Best Bets
Bournemouth (+1500) at Manchester United (-550) – Over 3 Goals (-110) – 10:00 AM ET – Saturday 7/4 – *MANCHESTER UNITED*
Watford (+650) at Chelsea (-235) – Under 3 Goals (-115) – 10:00 AM ET – Saturday 7/4 – *CHELSEA*
The Betting Game Plan
Bournemouth has been the worst team in the EPL, as of late. Since the return, they have suffered both a 3-0 home loss to Crystal Palace and a 4-0 home loss to Newcastle. On the road, at Old Trafford, they should absolutely get smashed. The Manchester United players will be chalk in DFS and the team itself makes for a terrific parlay topper.
As for Chelsea, I can’t say they make me feel as confident, but I guess that’s why the odds are better.
