Golf, etc.

This may not be of much use given the limited time before they tee off, but Rocco Mediate is the obvious play today. Is Tiger gonna win? Yeah, chances are he will. He probably slept soundly last night, while Rocco might be a bit nervous today and the extra 18 hours to think about winning a major sure won't help him. But if you can get +305 in a head-to-head between two guys who played to a draw on the same course over four days, you take it, especially if you're NOT betting on the guy who has a bad knee and shot the higher score yesterday.

Rocco Mediate +305 (Matchbook), .5 units to win 1.52 units (rounded down to avoid appearance of impropriety).

In other news, I asked Hambone about these WNBA plays he's been posting lately. Taking his cue from Caron Butler, he told me "I ain't got to justify my thug." Well put.

Finally, not sure if they'll be any baseball plays today. My two leans (Marlins and Mets) are both dealing with extreme travel circumstances that make me a bit gun-shy. Marlins are coming off a Florida-to-Seattle trip, and Mets are coming off a double-header and then a west coast trip. This new theory that road teams are down this year because of the lack of greenies is amusing, but also unsettling when contemplating a wager on a road team coming off a long haul.
