However, this record can be attributed to the lack of difficult matches, as Seoul Dynasty has yet to face the league\u2019s top contenders. And New York Excelsior will be the first of them.<\/p>\n<p>Bovada puts the odds at -175 \/ +120 or around 1.57 \u2013 2.20 in favor of New York Excelsior, and I believe the New York team is heavily favored to win this match.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best bet:<\/strong>New York Excelsior to win -175.44 with <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/go\/betonline\/\"  title=\"Claim bonus at BetOnline\"  target=\"_blank\">BetOnline<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Philadelphia Fusion (3W \u2013 3L) vs. Shanghai Dragons (0W \u2013 6L)<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Match date: March 14th<\/strong><br \/>\nWhenever I see a decent team playing against Shanghai Dragons, I think to myself \u201cthe adventure continues. More free money to be had.\u201d. That\u2019s because Shanghai Dragons hasn\u2019t won a single match yet in the Overwatch League. They finished Stage 1 with a 0W \u2013 10L record and are on a similar trajectory for Stage 2.<\/p>\n<p>Bovada puts the odds at -900 \/ +450 or around 1.11 \u2013 5.50 in favor of Philadelphia Fusion, as this match has an almost certain outcome.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best bet:<\/strong> Philadelphia Fusion to win -909.09 with <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/go\/betonline\/\"  title=\"Claim bonus at BetOnline\"  target=\"_blank\">BetOnline<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Shanghai Dragons (0W \u2013 6L) vs. New York Excelsior (5W \u2013 1L)<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Match date: March 15th<\/strong><br \/>\nThis is a complete mismatch and there is absolutely nothing in the world that could change its outcome apart from New York Excelsior having to abandon due to some major unexpected event.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best bet:<\/strong> New York Excelsior at <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/go\/betonline\/\"  title=\"Claim bonus at BetOnline\"  target=\"_blank\">BetOnline<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Florida Mayhem (1W \u2013 5L) vs. Los Angeles Valiant (4W \u2013 2L)<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Match date: March 15th<\/strong><br \/>\nFlorida Mayhem finished Stage 1 with a single victory and 9 defeats. Stage 2 seems to be going exactly the same way, and there\u2019s almost no chance for them to win against a team that finished Stage 1 with 7 victories and 3 defeats. All things considered, this match should end very quickly with a 4 \u2013 0 result for LA Valiant.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best bet:<\/strong> Los Angeles Valiant at <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/go\/betonline\/\"  title=\"Claim bonus at BetOnline\"  target=\"_blank\">BetOnline<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Houston Outlaws (3W \u2013 3L) vs. Los Angeles Gladiators (4W \u2013 2L)<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Match date: March 15th<\/strong><br \/>\nLos Angeles Gladiators has been this stage\u2019s big surprise, getting 2 unexpected victories so far: one against Los Angeles Valiant (score 4 \u2013 0) and one against London Spitfire (score 3 \u2013 1). It certainly looks like Fissure\u2019s addition to the roster has greatly improved things for this LA team, who is now looking to win its next two matches and climb even higher in the OWL hierarchy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best bet:<\/strong> Los Angeles Gladiators at <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/go\/betonline\/\"  title=\"Claim bonus at BetOnline\"  target=\"_blank\">BetOnline<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Los Angeles Gladiators (4W \u2013 2L) vs. Florida Mayhem (1W \u2013 5L)<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Match date: March 16th<\/strong><br \/>\nThe skill difference between these two teams is immense at the moment, so there\u2019s really no chance for an upset here. Los Angeles Gladiators should win this match with ease and they will likely not drop a single map.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best bet:<\/strong> Los Angeles Gladiators at <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/go\/betonline\/\"  title=\"Claim bonus at BetOnline\"  target=\"_blank\">BetOnline<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>London Spitfire (4W \u2013 2L) vs. San Francisco Shock (2W \u2013 4L)<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Match date: March 16th<\/strong><br \/>\nThis is another match with an almost predetermined outcome, simply because of the skill difference between the teams. London Spitfire won Stage 1 and is looking to repeat that performance in Stage 2, while San Francisco Shock finished Stage 1 in 9th place (3W \u2013 7L) and is clearly nowhere near their opponent in terms of strength.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best bet:<\/strong> London Spitfire at <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/go\/betonline\/\"  title=\"Claim bonus at BetOnline\"  target=\"_blank\">BetOnline<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Los Angeles Valiant (4W \u2013 2L) vs. Boston Uprising (2W \u2013 4L)<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Match date: March 16th<\/strong><br \/>\nBased on their recent results, Los Angeles Valiant is no doubt in better shape and should win this dispute. However, taking into account all of these teams\u2019 previous results, including their first direct encounter, I think this match could easily end with a victory for Boston Uprising. Last time they met, the Boston team destroyed the LA one without dropping a single map.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best bet:<\/strong> Boston Uprising at <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/go\/betonline\/\"  title=\"Claim bonus at BetOnline\"  target=\"_blank\">BetOnline<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Seoul Dynasty (6W \u2013 0L) vs. London Spitfire (4W \u2013 2L)<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Match date: March 17th<\/strong><br \/>\nThis is a great rematch between 2 giants and the result is difficult to predict. Based on the teams\u2019 previous performances however, London Spitfire is the slight favorite but only by a little (45-55). No doubt, Seoul Dynasty will want revenge for that humiliating 0 \u2013 4 defeat suffered against Spitfire on February 1st during Stage 1. But they\u2019re still quite likely to lose against them again.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best bet:<\/strong> London Spitfire at <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/go\/betonline\/\"  title=\"Claim bonus at BetOnline\"  target=\"_blank\">BetOnline<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>San Francisco Shock (2W \u2013 4L) vs. Houston Outlaws (3W \u2013 3L)<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Match date: March 17th<\/strong><br \/>\nIf Houston Outlaws hasn\u2019t lost all of its Stage 1 prowess, it should easily win this match. Because apart from Shanghai Dragons and Dallas Fuel (which is in complete disarray right now), San Francisco Shock lost to all of the other teams they played against. <\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s not forget that Houston Outlaws finished Stage 1 in 3rd place and even though they struggle against tough opponents, they tend to beat weaker teams in a very convincing way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best bet:<\/strong> Houston Outlaws at <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/go\/betonline\/\"  title=\"Claim bonus at BetOnline\"  target=\"_blank\">BetOnline<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Dallas Fuel (2W \u2013 4L) vs. Philadelphia Fusion (3W \u2013 3L)<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Match date: March 17th<\/strong><br \/>\nAs I mentioned before, Dallas Fuel is going through some internal turmoil right now and was not a strong team to begin with. Subsequently, an opponent such as Philadelphia Fusion will likely have a field day against them in their current state.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best bet:<\/strong> Philadelphia Fusion at <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/go\/betonline\/\"  title=\"Claim bonus at BetOnline\"  target=\"_blank\">BetOnline<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Week 3 of Overwatch League Stage 2 is over and week 4 is almost at the door.
