The Pick: Carlos Alcaraz vs. Marcos Giron, ATP Winston-Salem quarterfinal

Carlos Alcaraz came through in a big way Wednesday night against Marton Fucsovics in a topsy turvy, high quality match. The Spaniard, who appears set on capturing his second career title this week in Winston-Salem, dominated the first and third sets, outplaying Fucsovics with his superior power and movement.

Alcaraz will next face Marcos Giron in the quarterfinal. According to the oddsmakers, the Spaniard is a -170 favorite and projected to win by 2.5 games. The line opened at -130, but was quickly bet back to -170. Congratulations to anyone who got the Spaniard at -130.

Marcos Giron is perfectly capable of beating the 18-year-old, but the slow and gritty courts are perfect for Alcaraz. The extra time allows him to use his phenomenal footspeed to find his massive forehand.

After beating Alexei Popyrin and Fucsovics, Giron is a slight step down in competition. I expect Alcaraz to come out blazing, and cannot argue against any bets on the Spaniard in his third consecutive night match. Giron is a fantastic player, but Alcaraz is on a different level.

The Pick: Carlos Alcaraz -2.5
