65KG: Joey McKenna vs. Logan Stieber

Joey McKenna: +$110

Logan Stieber: -$140

Series in Two Bouts: -$140

Series in Three Bouts: +$110

Match 1: Over/Under 11.5pts

Match 2: Logan Stieber -2pts / Joey McKenna +2pts

Commentary: While Logan Stieber, the four time NCAA Champion and multiple time world team member, comes in as the favorite, he's been a little streaky. One weekend he beats World Champion Haji Aliev, the next he loses to Jaydin Eierman. 

McKenna is a polar opposite to the high-scoring Stieber. He's been ultra consistent and very tactical, as seen in his comfortable win over Eierman at the Open. Which style will win out, and how does the familiarity factor affect things? 


62KG: Kayla Miracle vs. Mallory Velte

Kayla Miracle: -$175

Mallory Velte: +$140

Series in Two Bouts: -$150

Series in Three Bouts: +$120

Commentary: Miracle and Velte are two of the best up-and-comers and they know each other very well as teammates on the 2015 Junior World Team. 

For Velte, that was her only World Team, while Miracle made two Cadet, three Junior, and one U23 teams.

That isn't to say it's a mismatch though. The final at the Open was 1-0 late when Miracle added a takedown for a 3-0 win. 


79KG: Kyle Dake vs. Zahid Valencia

Kyle Dake: -$350

Zahid Valencia: +$275

Series in Two Bouts: -$275

Series in Three Bouts: +$235

Match 1: Over/Under 12.5pts

Match 2: Dake -3pts / Valencia +3pts

Commentary: Kyle Dake has been knocking on the door for years. And what's more, he's been beating foreign medalists. This is his year, right? Probably. But...

Dake had a wild, razor-close win over Alex Dieringer in the finals of The US Open. A couple weeks later, Zahid smoked Dieringer in two straight. Whereas Dake had trouble scoring on Dieringer, Zahid, who made three Junior teams, earning World Silver in 2016, looked great offensively against the same guy.

Dake is still the heavy favorite, but the common opponent and Zahid's track record of proving everyone wrong makes things interesting (to say the least).
