BLAST Slam IV betting picks for Day 3, October 16

TEAM SPIRIT v BETBOOM TEAM

After their shock opening loss, Team Spirit have knocked off Aurora Gaming, Natus Vincere and Team Aureus in impressive fashion. BetBoom Team, meanwhile, had one to forget on Day 2, losing winnable matchups against Tundra Esports and Aurora. If Spirit keep trend the way they have been, they should be too good.

AURORA GAMING v MOUZ

These odds are skewed somewhat due to the fact MOUZ (-151.52) beat Aurora Gaming (+120) twice in as many days, and only last weekend. Aurora might be erratic at times, but they compete at a far higher level from week to week and should not be priced this long.

TEAM FALCONS v TEAM SPIRIT

While Falcons have had Spirit’s number in their last two meetings, it wasn’t too long ago that the Russians beat them in the Esports World Cup final and then did it again a month later at FISSURE Universe: Episode 6. This is a cracking matchup that could either way, so why not have something on the outsiders.
