I'm picking Alexia Thainara to cover the point spread against Amanda Lemos. Thainara is a strong striker and has shown she can control fights, which might give her an advantage here. Lemos needs to keep the fight standing and be aggressive to win, but if Thainara can stick to her game plan, she should be able to pull ahead. Our numbers suggest Thainara has a good chance to win by a decent margin. Just remember, fights can be unpredictable, so there's no guarantee here, but this could be a solid bet. It was priced at +145 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $24.50 if it lands. The number next to the team is the handicap, and that team's score is adjusted by it before the bet is settled. This one is priced as an outside chance. Our model likes this one a lot. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it.
