Here's the rest for this afternoon and tonight:
MLB
Orioles +190, 1 unit to win 1.90 units
Don't trust Cabrera, because he can go from brilliant one game to wild in the next, BUT at +190 it's worth a chance that he'll be brilliant tonight. Orioles have hit Beckett better than most teams.
Rays +108, 1 unit to win 1.08 units
Grover's Rays (not his favorite team, just the one he has a big Over wins bet on) with Shields getting the underdog money. Shields the underdog to Weaver? Please.
Padres -128, 1.28 units to win 1 unit
Our gut instinct is to go against big-name pitchers on the down side of their career, but Maddux has been great this year, Kershaw has not impressed, and the Dodgers cannot hit at all (need Furcal back). At home, San Diego gets this one.
Euro Cup
Greece +222, 0.50 units to win 1.11 units
Still pissed about yesterday, and the early game pick looks like a loser. Greece looks like a much better team than Sweden to me. A lot of people want to talk about Greece's 2004 Euro Cup Championship as a fluke, and maybe it was, but that has nothing to do with their prospects in today's match. Greece beat Portugal and the Czech Republic recently, which is a lot more than the Swedes can say.
WNBA (sssshhhhh, don't tell Grover)
Minnesota -3.5, 1.1 units to win 1 unit
Like I said in the only other WNBA post, you're looking for home favorites at reasonable numbers in this "sport." Minnesota suffered its only loss of the season at Connecticut last week by 1 point. They'll return the favor tonight. I'm so ashamed.......

who is grover that you keep tlaking about?
Grover and I are running this blog together. Because I have a lot more computer freedom at my office than he does, I write a lot of the posts, but they almost always come after several back-and-forth e-mails between the two of us. There's more of a chance that his boss would monitor his internet activities than mine would. Look back through the posts and you'll see his name in there several times.
