Given Bu's recent momentum — taking down Michael Zheng on Thu, 24 Sept and Rafael Jodar on Wed, 2 Sept — getting a +1.5 set start gives him a big tick. Majchrzak has dropped sets against Benjamin Bonzi and Gael Monfils in recent outings, showing that matches can get tight. Taking Bu to claim at least one set at +1.5 sets rates a real chance to cover.

With no prior head-to-head history to draw from, a competitive contest pushing past 22.5 games jumps off the page as a solid angle.
