6/18 La Liga

We are coming off a big soccer day with the return of EPL but now it’s back to La Liga. We have a two game slate with the later matchup between Real Madrid and Valencia, the headliner. Real Madrid comes in as a strong -265 home favorite, but this game won’t necessarily be a walk in the park for them. In the earlier game, Real Sociedad is a -110 favorite against Alaves.

Eden Hazard is back for Real Madrid and trying to compensate for what has otherwise been a lost season for him. With one less game played, Real Madrid sit five points short of Barcelona in the La Liga Table.

6/18 La Liga Best Bet

Real Sociedad (-104) at Alaves (+315) – Under 3 Goals (-120) – 2:00 PM ET – Thursday 6/18 – *REAL SOCIEDAD*

DraftKings | FanDuel

The Betting Game Plan

Alaves is in the bottom third in scoring in La Liga and the home edge here is negated by no fans. I think when compared to the Real Madrid game with the odds on RM so high, there is more value with this bet and the -104 money line odds on RS. It is not however without risk so I would not combine it with a second higher risk play on a parlay. If you can hold your horses for one more day, Barcelona is much safer.

6/18 DraftKings Point Per Dollar Rankings

Top Five

• 1. Toni Kroos – Real Madrid – $8,500 – It is concerning that he only had four points outside of his goal last time out. Particularly given the fact he only has four goals across 25 appearances this season. However, Kroos still handles the set pieces for Real Madrid and generally gives us a higher floor than the other options.

• 2. Karim Benzema- Real Madrid – $8,600 – Benzema has been struggling as of late, but still has -124 goal scoring odds, according to the DraftKings sportsbook. With Real Madrid favored once again, this is a great chance for him to snap out of the recent funk.

• 3. Eden Hazard – Real Madrid – $8,000 – If Eden Hazard is back to his old self and finally getting acclimated at Real Madrid, this price tag is an absolute bargain. The breakout is happening any game now and it could be this one. Hazard has +161 scoring odds, second best on the slate.

• 4. Marcelo – Real Madrid – $6,200 – Normally, I’d think Marcelo would get to rest up after starting last game and Mendy and Carvajal would be in there. However, Carvajal got dinged up “more below” so it might be Marcelo time once again. He just sends in loads of crosses, hoping to make the magic happen.

• 5. Ferland Mendy – Real Madrid – $5,500 – Dani Carvajal was injured and left halfway in last game. Mendy has been a usual starter anyway. Across 70-90 minutes he gives us a nice floor, playing as a wingback.

Best of the Rest

• 6. Willan Jose/Alexander Isak – Real Sociedad – $6,800/$7,000 – Whichever one is in, both have the best goal odds outside of Benzema and Hazard listed above.

• 7. Vinicius Junior/Rodrygo- Valencia – $6,300 – It is unlikely Gareth Bale would start at this point, given his sour relationship with the club. So it is likely one of these two on the wing opposite Hazard. They both make for terrific tournament plays.

• 8. Martin Odegaard – Real Sociedad – $7,300 – The Barcelona loanee is a talented young player. However, without any set pieces and slumping, this seems like an overpay.

• 9. Portu- Real Sociedad – $6,600 – Portu, unlike Odegaard, is handling set pieces for Real Sociedad. That gives him a decent floor making him a better cash play.

• 10. Victor Camarasa – Alaves – $3,800 – Value is needed and the former EPL man at Cardiff City, fits the bill. He has not been tearing it up at Alaves but is a decent player and helps make builds fit.

• 11. Alex Remiro – Real Sociedad – $5,300 – My favorite goalie on the slate, facing low scoring Alaves.

6/15 La Liga

La Liga runs straight into another match week, beginning with a two game slate that kicks off at 1:30pm ET. We have four teams that we saw on Thursday and Friday, only their opponents have been reversed. Sevilla is a -165 road favorite against Levante, with Real Betis a -110 home favorite against Granada, in a low total game.

The showdown contests are both a lot bigger than the classic contests. I figured I would just cover it all together with point per dollar rankings that run across both games and slates. The pricing listed below is set to the classic prices.

6/15 La Liga Best Bet

Sevilla (-165) at Levante (+400) – Under 3 Goals (-105) – 4:00 PM ET – Monday 6/15 – *SEVILLA*

DraftKings | FanDuel

The Betting Game Plan

Sevilla is pushing hard to maintain their spot as La Liga’s third wheel. Levante is coming off a tough matchup that ended in a draw against bigger cross town rival Valencia. Against a tougher opponent, this seems like a let down spot for Levante.

6/15 DraftKings Rankings

Forwards

• 1. Nabil Fekir – Real Betis – Forward – $9,900 – Nabil Fekir was terrible on the road away at Sevilla. However, that was a tough matchup and this is an ideal bounce back spot.

• 2. Munir El Haddadi/Youssef El-Nesyri – Sevilla – $8,500/$8,100 – El Nesyri is projected to start, should play a vital role in the attack for the slate’s biggest favorite. If not and El Haddadi is in, he would be a great play as well.

• 3. Suso – Sevilla- $6,900 – The game logs are not enticing but if he starts, this is quite a drop from the previous $10,000 price tag. He sat last game, so let’s hope.

• 4. Luuk de Jong – Sevilla – $7,700 – Once again, he’s not good but as a striker for a favorite will get his opportunities on net.

• 5. Loren Moron – Real Betis – $5,400 – Expected to lead the line for cheap.

Midfielders

• 1. Ever Banega – Sevilla – $8,700 – He sat out last game but here’s hoping Sevilla’s set piece taker is back in the lineup.

• 2. Lucas Ocampos – Sevilla – $8,200 – Ocampos was a beast before leaving last game. He put up a goal and assist to add to his totals and should be popular once again.

• 3. Darwin Machis – Granada – $9,200 – High price but the South American, Machis, always has tournament winning upside on La Liga slates.

• 4. Sergio Canales- Real Betis – $7,500 – A strong cash game floor although the upside at times is questionable.

• 5. Ruben Rochina – Levante – $7,200 – Levante’s set piece taker is limited here by a tough matchup.
  

Defensemen

• 1. Jesus Navas – Sevilla – $5,800 – A cash play with a decent floor although not the upside he has with the Spanish national team.

• 2. Sergio Reguilon – Sevilla – $6,000 – The wingback on the other side for Sevilla.

• 3. Emerson – Real Betis – $5,200 – Moving onto to the Real Betis wingbacks.

• 4. Jorge Miramon – Levante – $4,200 – Not a sexy play, but consistent.

• 5. Alex Moreno – Real Betis – $4,700

Goalies

• 1. Tomas Vaclik – Sevilla – $5,600

• 2. Joe Robles – Real Betis – $5,300

6/15 La Liga Monkey Knife Fight Picks

I am taking the under on Darwin Machis as the 1.5 requires a decent bit. As for Nabil Fekir he was horrible last game, but should be able to meet this simple threshold as either two SOG, an assist, or a goal, would do the trick.

This article focuses on 6/12 La Liga Picks for DraftKings and FanDuel Sportsbook 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.

6/12 La Liga

Day Two of our La Liga run involves a two game slate beginning 1:30pm ET. Valencia is the biggest favorite on the slate and the most notable team, having advanced to the Champion’s League Round of 16 prior to elimination. The other game, Getafe vs. Granada is expected to be incredibly low scoring with a total under 1.5.

The last time we saw Valencia was that Champion’s League elimination game against Atalanta. Not only did they give up four goals to Atalanta striker Joseph Illicic, but the game became notorious for being a giant catalyst in the spread of the coronavirus all over Europe. They will look to put that one behind them and restart on the right foot.

6/12 La Liga Best Bet

Levante (+360) at Valencia (-145) – Under 3 Goals (-120) – 2:00 PM ET – Friday 6/12 – *VALENCIA*

DraftKings | FanDuel

The Betting Game Plan

Levante has not won visiting the Mestalla since 1937. This Valencia team didn’t have the muscle to go any farther than they finished in the Champion’s League. However, they should be able to beat their local rival and help you win your money line bet.

6/12 DraftKings Point Per Dollar Rankings

• 1. Marc Cucurella – Getafe – $7,600 – CASH CORE – This is a solid price given Cucurella’s recent floor prior to the coronavirus stoppage. In cash games lock it in and strong play in all formats. None of his points are goal dependent at all so he presents little variance.

• 2. Dani Parejo – Valencia – $9,600 – CASH CORE – Valencia’s set piece taker makes for a clear choice as the cash game payup with Valencia the slate’s biggest favorite. Where he doesn’t have the floor some set piece takers/cross extraordinares often have, he has higher goal scoring upside to help compensate.

• 3. Jason – Getafe – $8,800 – Jason is more of a cash forward as he only has one goal and four assists across his 11 appearances this season “at Valencia”. He is projected to start despite not playing since arriving on loan from Valencia, so something to watch.

• 4. Damian Suarez – Getafe – $7,200 – The price is high but gives us a solid floor, sending in tons of crosses.

• 5. Jose Gaya – Valencia – $5,600 – Gives us some value with a solid floor. Wing defender for Valencia as a decent favorite.

• 6. Maxi Gomez/Rodrigo – Valencia – $8,500/7,700 – You need a goal from either of these two, but I think the price is fair enough. More tournament plays as scoring dependent players.

• 7. Daniel Wass – Valencia – $6,100 – Roaming the wing opposite Gaya with a similar outlook.

• 8. David Soria – Getafe – $4,900 – Favored goalie in a super low total game.

• 9. Jasper Cillessen – Valencia – $5,500 – The other goalie in play.

• 10. Ferran Torres/Kevin Gameiro – Valencia – $8,300/$8,100 – Strong tournament options who may get overlooked with other options in the Valencia attack prioritized. It must be noted that Gameiro is likely to sit if Maxi Gomez is back in the lineup.
  

6/12 La Liga Monkey Knife Fight Picks

The 2.5 for Rodrigo would take a strong game, so think the under hits more than not. I think that a double under on this is the play.
