English Premier League: Saturday's Predictions May 2

Brentford vs. West Ham United EPL Picks

Best Bet: Brentford ML (-112) Lucky Rebel Sportsbook

Back Brentford at home against this West Ham United team. Sure, the visitors are battling to stay out of relegation and send Tottenham down, but going on the road and trying to beat a top 10 EPL team is going to be tough. Especially considering the Bees are battling for a UEFA Europa League qualifying position. Brentford already beat West Ham on the road 2-0 earlier this season, but they played to a 2-2 draw in the FA Cup.

Three points would propel Brentford to No. 6 on the EPL table, depending on how some other matches end up. They still have all the motivation to earn as many points down the stretch, even though the same could be said about West Ham. At home, the Bees get the job done.

Prediction: Brentford Wins 2-0 (+975)

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs. Sunderland EPL Picks

Best Bet: Wolverhampton/Sunderland Under 2.5 (-119) Lucky Rebel Sportsbook

We are taking the under as the Wanderers finish off their season before moving down to the English League Championship. The visitors shutout the Wolves at the Stadium of Light earlier this season, and despite not staying near the top of the table, they are safely staying in the EPL next season. Their defense has been a staple of their success all year long, and Wolverhampton has the worst scoring offense in the entire league.

Give me a low scoring, possibly a scoreless, draw.

Prediction: 0-0 Draw (+900)

Arsenal vs. Fulham EPL Picks

Best Bet: Arsenal ML/Under 3.5 (+115) Lucky Rebel Sportsbook

Back to our bread and butter. Now, we are taking the under 3.5 with the Gunners moneyline for plus money, but you can get the under 4.5 around -137 if you want to pay that juice. I do not see Fulham scoring, so I also endorse Arsenal to Win to Nil at +130. Let me sell you with some trends.

It's no secret that Arsenal has one of the best back lines in the entire world, not just the EPL. Plus, they are incredibly dominant at home. So far this season, the Gunners have played 58 competitive matches. They have won and stayed under 4.5 total goals in 55.1% of those games, shutting out their opponents half the time. At home, they have played 29 matches this year. That same game parlay hits more than 62% of the time at Emirates Stadium, with the Gunners securing a home shutout in 58.6% of matches.

Now, I understand we are taking this down a goal to 3.5 for plus money, but with everything that's at stake for Arsenal, they'll do what they need to do to win this match. However, they host Atlético Madrid on Tuesday, so look for them to be a little conservative and save their legs for the weekday UCL match.

Prediction: Arsenal Wins 2-0 (+600)
