Melbourne Renegades vs Brisbane Heat
Heat to Win ($1.83)

The Melbourne Renegades are the only side that cannot possibly make the BBL10 finals, but they can certain cause a few headaches for the clubs still fighting for a berth, and one of those is this afternoon’s opponent, the Brisbane Heat.

Simply put, they’ve been awful. The Renegades haven’t been able to get into anything of a rhythm, they are lucky to have won even the few matches that they have, and the end of the season cannot arrive quickly enough.

The Heat meanwhile have been above decent since Christmas, and it has allowed them to toe the edge of the four for a couple of weeks now.

They sit sixth leading into this match, but will well and truly keep the pressure on with a win, and I think that’s exactly what will materialise. There’s still plenty of meat on the bone as $1.83 favourites.

Melbourne Stars vs Perth Scorchers
Scorchers to Win ($1.83)

The standout Saturday match definitely looks like taking place between the Stars and the Scorchers at the MCG.

Both sides are well and truly in the finals framework and the result of this match is likely to have a real impact on who finishes second.

I’ve said it several times before and it doesn’t stop being true – the Scorchers resurgence has been nothing short of outstanding after losing their first three, and they very well could record a fourth BBL Championship win.

Their loss to the Sixers last weekend is in the history books, and they enter this match full of running after destroying the Hurricanes.

Similarly to the Heat in the earlier game, there’s still enough left for me at $1.83, and I will look to multi those two results for better value.
