League Of Legends Picks for 4/18

*Odds provided by bovada.lv*

Riot LCS Playoffs (North America)

• Evil Geniuses (-280) vs. FlyQuest (+195)

Although I'm not overly certain that FlyQuest can emerge victoriously, I do expect this one to be a tough battle that is decided by the final game. There is a minuscule difference between these teams and I love the value in this spread.

Pick : FlyQuest Spread +1.5 (-110)

Riot LCK (South Korea)

• kT Rolster (-160) vs. Damwon Gaming (+115)

This is the opening match of the LCK playoffs, and I want nothing to do with either money line. I am pounding the over in this contest, however. Both of these teams are so similar that I don't see how this one doesn't go to three games.

Pick : Over 2.5 Games (-105)

Tencent LPL (China)

• Vici Gaming (-1400) vs. Victory Five (+600)

Victory Five is an absolute dumpster fire. They have not only won zero matches during the spring split, but they haven't even won a single game within a match. Play Vici's spread with confidence, but parlay it with the under for value.

Pick : PARLAY - Vici Gaming Spread -1.5 (-245) & Under 2.5 Games (-325)

• FunPlus Phoenix (-700) vs. Rogue Warriors (+390)

Rogue Warriors are such a weird team. They looked like they were getting hot before getting blanked 0-2 last match. On the other hand, FunPlus Phoenix are one of the best teams in the LPL. Expect FPX to bully Rogue Warriors in this one.

Pick : FunPlus Phoenix Spread -1.5 (-160)

• Royal Never Give Up (-265) vs. Suning Gaming (+190)

This is an odd matchup between two teams who are really good when they are good and really bad when they are bad. I don't have a lean on a winner either way in this one. I fully expect this match to take three games to decide, however.

Pick : Over 2.5 Games (+110)

Riot LEC Playoffs (Europe)

• G2 Esports (-750) vs. MAD Lions (+425)

I don't advise laying this amount of juice on the principle of risk versus reward, but G2 is definitely winning. MAD Lions are good, but G2 is on a whole other level. I would proceed with caution, but I'm taking a shot at the G2 shutout as they have the goods to pull it off.

Pick : G2 Esports Spread -2.5 (+125)
