Miami open preview and tennis best bets for Wednesday, March 27
The second half of the “Sunshine Double” is the Miami Open, which takes place at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida over the next few days. This tournament, much like the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, is one of the biggest non-majors of the year. So, even though Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal aren’t in the Miami Open field, this is still a loaded event for both the men and the women. With that in mind, we’ll have you covered with tennis best bets throughout. That continues with picks for Wednesday, March 27th. Keep reading for some of my favorite plays of the day, but make sure you check the Pro Picks page for more. I like to see how the odds move throughout the day and I tend to add a few picks each day.

2024 Results: 171-188 (+15.20 units)
Danielle Collins vs. Caroline Garcia
Collins grew up in St. Petersburg and later trained at IMG Academy. She is at home when playing in Florida, so she absolutely loves these conditions. She also has the full crowd cheering her on, and that’s only amplified by the fact that this is her last season. Collins also happens to be 3-0 in three meetings with Garcia, and all three of those matches were decided in straight sets. Collins has just dominated Garcia and that’s because of her elite return game. Garcia is one of the most dangerous servers on tour, but Collins is capable of getting balls back and flipping the script in her favor. And she has a big edge over Garcia when it comes to baseline play. That said, I’m playing the American to cover a small game spread. I don’t buy what we have seen from Garcia in the last week. She has scored massive wins over Coco Gauff and Naomi Osaka, but her form has been inconsistent for the better part of two years.
Bet: Collins -2.5 Games (-136)
