CDL 2025 Major 3 Qualifiers betting picks – Saturday, April 5

Call of Duty League (CDL) 2025 Stage 3 Major Qualifiers continue on Saturday, April 5, as Miami Heretics face off against the new-look Vegas Falcons, Los Angeles Guerrillas M8 look to upset Carolina Royal Ravens, Cloud9 New York clash with OpTic Texas, and Toronto Ultra take on Boston Breach. Here are our CoD betting tips for the day, with esports odds courtesy of top betting sites in United States.

Vegas Falcons made significant changes earlier this week, adding Amer “Pred” Zulbeari, Alec “Arcitys” Sanderson, and Preston “Priestahh” Greiner to the active lineup. While it might be too late for the Falcons to qualify for the CDL Championship, they at least field a serviceable roster of experienced players.

Despite Vegas’ roster moves, Miami Heretics are priced as firm favourites on the best CoD betting sites. However, there are some question marks surrounding the Florida outfit as well.

With a sub-30% win rate on Control and Search & Destroy, Miami are not a team you would trust to deliver. And while there is no telling how the new-look Falcons will do, they should be priced closer to even money against the shaky Heretics.

Los Angeles Guerrillas M8 have freshened up their roster with Tyler “FeLo” Johnson and Giancarlos “oJohnny” Carrasco, and while they are solid additions, they’re not enough for LAGM to compete for the top spots. On paper, they do not have enough firepower to improve their respawns, although Search & Destroy should get better with the solid AR duo.

Carolina Royal Ravens did not make any roster changes ahead of CDL 2025 Major 3 despite an underwhelming seventh-eighth finish in Major 2. While they have had solid moments early into the season, the Royal Ravens seem to be figured out by other teams, and it does not help that they are struggling on respawns.

While Carolina deserve to be favourites, -227.27 is not a fair number when we consider how vulnerable they have been on respawns.

Cloud9 New York finished top six at CDL 2025 Major 2, which was a promising outcome. While C9NY are not quite up there with the top teams, they have been steadily improving, so we can expect more good things from them in the upcoming online stage.

OpTic added Cesar “Skyz” Bueno and Cuyler “Huke” Garland last month, and they looked good in scrims, giving hope that OpTic can perform better in CDL 2025 Stage 3. The question is whether OpTic can carry over those performances to the online stage.

Despite the promising scrim results, OpTic Texas should not be viewed as heavy favourites against Cloud9 New York until they show something in a professional setting. Expect a competitive game.

Toronto Ultra had a very good run in CDL 2025 Stage 2, with third-place finishes in the online stage and at the Texas Major. With that, Ultra proved once and for all that they can perform at the top level consistently.

There is a lot to like about Ultra, who are great on respawns and even deadlier on Search & Destroy (70.6% win rate). While there are still questions about whether they can consistently take out Atlanta FaZe and Los Angeles Thieves, Ultra are to be trusted to deliver against weaker opponents.

Beating Toronto Ultra will be a tough ask for Boston Breach, who had their moments last stage — including a 2-3 loss to FaZe and a 3-1 upset victory against LA Thieves. However, the Breach were swept aside by Toronto in the Major 2 lower-bracket quarterfinals, and another 3-0 win for Ultra looks likely.
