There’s a lot more soccer on the table this week as leagues in several different countries are back in action. That will give bettors more options to keep them busy in the middle of the week, and there is a veritable cornucopia of choices on Friday. Esports bettors will have reason to rejoice too as top tier League of Legends is back with China and Korea competing for the Mid-Season Cup.

Fnatic vs. Spirit, 8 a.m. ET
FaZe Clan vs. GODSENT, 11:30 a.m. ET
Fnatic and FaZe are the favorites to get out of Group C, but we have already seen a major upset at this event. No one expected Mousesports to completely collapse like they did yesterday, and that sent notice to the rest of the teams at this event.

Soccer
Borussia Dortmund vs. FC Bayern Munich, 12:30 p.m. ET
This is the most important match left in the Bundesliga. Bayern are four points up on Dortmund with seven matches to play coming into Tuesday, and a victory would likely give them their eighth straight league title. A victory for the hosts would cut Bayern’s lead to one point in the table and lead to a fantastic finish to the season.

SK Wyverns vs. Doosan Bears, 5:30 a.m. ET ESPN2
While SK’s League of Legends team is the pride of Korea, the baseball team has left a lot to be desired. The Wyverns are just 3-14 this season, and their offense has been woeful. As a team, SK is hitting .234, and they have tallied just 61 runs all year.

Denny Hamlin’s crew chief will be suspended for the next four races after his tungsten weight fell off his car in Charlotte on Sunday. That deprived Hamlin of an opportunity of winning his second straight race after winning in Darlington on Wednesday, and he’ll have a hard time winning this mid-week race.
