Sports Smorgasbord

A good friend of the blog (shout-out to Brian and friends!) is in Vegas this weekend with some friends and wanted us to make sure we posted a variety of picks the next couple of days. Here we go:

MLB:

Royals +125, 1 unit to win 1.25 units


Although neither has been sharp lately, Greinke is a little more talented than Davis, and we give the Royals hitters a slight edge over the D-Backs tonight.

Braves +130, 1 unit to win 1.30 units

See Grover's post below. Braves offense too good tonight.

Euro Cup 2008

Romania/Italy DRAW +260, 0.50 units to win 1.30 units


Everyone is on Italy today, and they should be looking to score, but just like with Monday's game with France, Romania will play hard defensively as a Draw is a victory against the mighty Italians.

Netherlands/France DRAW +214, 0.50 units to win 1.07 units

Netherlands will still be in the lead of the Group of Death with a Draw, and I think they'll play conservatively to that end.

US Open Golf

Mickelson +105 to shoot a lower score than Tiger in Round 2, 1 unit to win 1.05 units


Tiger wakes up with a sore knee this morning. Even if the knee is fine, he usually doesn't really get going until Saturday in any tournament. Phil was not intimidated yesterday at all.

WNBA

San Antonio -1.5, 1.1 units to win 1 unit


For Brian's female companions, here's one for the ladies. Huge difference between home and road performance in the WNBA. At home, Seattle would win this game by 10+. On the road, they'll likely lose by 6 or 7.

Garland: Leaving 75% of runners on base, has a 1K/BB ratio, and 21% LD rate...something has to give.

Love the braves tonight. Good luck.
