CDL Major 4 Qualifiers betting picks & odds – Saturday, May 17
Call of Duty League (CDL) 2025 Major 4 Qualifiers Week 3 continues with four matchups on Saturday, May 17. While most of those are lopsided affairs on paper, the clash between Miami Heretics and Carolina Royal Ravens should be competitive. Here are our free CoD betting predictions for May 17, with odds from the top online bookmakers in United States.

Vegas Falcons will be hopinh for a miracle when they face off against Atlanta FaZe, who defeated them 3-1 in CDL 2025 Major 3 Qualifiers.
FaZe have won three of their four games this stage, with their only loss coming against Cloud9 New York due to shaky performances on respawns. Vegas Falcons have been far less successful, with just one victory against Minnesota RØKKR and losses against C9NY, Miami Heretics, and Los Angeles Thieves.
Despite their minor slip-up, FaZe have been one of the best performing teams of Stage 4 and are rightly priced as heavy favourites with the best Call of Duty betting sites. Anything less than a 3-0 sweep would be a disappointment.

Cloud9 New York will have their work cut out for them against the CDL Major 3 champions, Los Angeles Thieves. But while this looks like a lopsided matchup, C9NY have done well this stage with a 3-0 sweep of Vegas Falcons and a surprising 3-1 victory against Atlanta FaZe.
LA Thieves have managed a 1-2 record heading into the final week of qualifying, with losses against Atlanta FaZe and Miami Heretics and one victory against Vegas Falcons. This is not inspiring, but the Thieves’ ability to bounce back is not to be underestimated.
Cloud9 New York have been playing well on Hacienda and Control and look like feisty underdogs for this affair. While LA Thieves are the better team, C9 should be able to pocket one map.

MIAMI HERETICS vs CAROLINA ROYAL RAVENS CDL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS
Best Odds: Heretics -188.68 at Stake.com | Royal Ravens +137 at 888starz

Miami Heretics locked in their fourth victory of the online stage last weekend against Cloud9 New York, and with that secured an upper seed for CDL 2025 Major 4. On the other side, Carolina Royal Ravens are 1-2 and in desperate need of wins to avoid a bottom-four finish.
Despite the urgency, the Royal Ravens are unlikely to stop the surging Heretics, due to their concerning performances on respawns. Even though Isaiah “Gwinn” Gwinn and co. are solid on Search & Destroy, they have a worrying 2-5 combined record on Control and Hardpoint.
Miami Heretics are not only much more efficient on respawn game modes, but they are also one of the top Search & Destroy teams in the CDL, which completely crushes the Royal Ravens’ win condition.

TORONTO ULTRA vs VANCOUVER SURGE CDL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS
Best Odds: Ultra -1428.57 at Stake.com | Surge +562 at BetOnline

Toronto Ultra and Vancouver Surge have met twice in lower-bracket finals in CDL 2025, and both games ended in the Surge’s favour. Despite their past success, however, Vancouver are not expected to win on Saturday.
Priced as +562 underdogs by the top esports bookmakers, the Surge have started Stage 4 with losses to OpTic Texas and Atlanta FaZe and one win against Boston Breach. The eye test suggests Jordan “Abuzah” François and co. have slowed down a lot this stage, and the added pressure of needing to win this game will not help.
However, while the Ultra are in better shape, Vancouver’s ceiling is too high to be given just a 15.1% implied probability of winning. The value is with underdogs at the map line.
