West Ham vs Manchester City Prediction & Pick

All EPL expert picks and predictions are according to FiveThirtyEight projections.
Outcome: Manchester City wins
Percentages: West Ham United (13%) | Manchester City (69%) | Draw (18%)

Both FanDuel Sportsbook and FiveThirtyEight agree that Manchester City should have no issue beating West Ham to open the upcoming EPL season. Man City's -280 odds to win translates to an implied probability of 73.4%, which is decently more than FiveThirtyEight's projection percentage.

Having said that, I do think that Manchester City will open the new campaign with a victory. There isn't much value to be had on the moneyline, so I'm taking the total to hit over 2.5 goals at -170.
