Time for another Australian Open quarterfinal bet and hopefully it goes smoother than the last one which had it's scary moments in the first set before pulling through.

Raonic heads into the quarterfinals in devastating form, having dropped his serve only once throughout the tournament. He's had a tough route to the quarters, defeating Wawrinka, Kygrios and Zverev along the way. He's looking a lot better than he did in 2018 when he came back from his injury break and got beaten by journeyman players like Lucas Lacko.

Pouille hasn't been playing bad either, beating Coric in a come from behind win in the last round as well as home favorite Popyrin in a 5-setter.

These two players have faced each other three times before with Raonic winning all three encounters in straight sets. The way he's playing now, i expect him to have a comfortable victory as long as no injury acts up.

The ML odds for Raonic aren't very attractive at 1.13 but i expect him to take this in straight sets or 4 at the very worst. So i'll take him on 4 game handicap for a little bit of safety at 1.52.

Pick: Raonic (-4) @1.521
