Our top stash picks:
- Tennis: Sabine Lisicki
- MLB: Tampa Bay Rays
Our picks for every prop:
- Other: Any Other Cyclist
- To be honest, I don't know much about cycling, but I'll take my chances with any other cyclist. I doubt this will be over in time for the early morning tennis match, as this stage has a couple of really steep climbs and will prbably take 5 hours or more.
- Confidence: 50%
- Tennis: Sabine Lisicki
- What a crazy tournament this Wimbledon has been. This is a first-time Wimbledon final for both Lisicki and Bartoli. Bartoli has not lost a set all tournament, but has had a pretty easy route so far and has not had to play any of the top players. Lisicki on the other hand has had some incredible upsets and come-from-behind wins. She came back from being down by 3 games in the final set against both Serena Williams and Agnieska Radwanska. She has only played Bartoli head-to-head 3 times in the last 4 years, but has won all of those battles, including a quarterfinal match at Wimbledon in 2011.
- Confidence: 75%
- MLB: Baltimore Orioles
- Chris Tillman has been great for the Orioles this season. He is 10 - 2 with a 3.68 ERA on the season. He just pitched against the Yankees at home on June 30, a game the Orioles won 4 - 2. Pettite hasn't been as strong, and is 5 - 6 with a 4.40 ERA on the season. As I'm typing this, the Orioles lead the season series 6 - 3 and are up 2 - 1 in the 7th inning of their 10th meeting this season.
- Confidence: 65%
- Golf: Daniel Summerhays or Tie
- Summerhays shot a 65 in round 1 and a 67 in round 2. Every shot a 69 in round 1 and a 62 in round 2. So after 2 rounds, Every is one shot ahead of Summerhays. Since they're so close in the standings and they seem to be pretty even golfers, I'll take Summerhays with the tie option.
- Confidence: 50%
- Soccer: Spain U20 Win
- Spain has won every game of this World Cup. Uruguay has won 3 and lost 1, but all of their games were against weaker competition. These teams have only met twice, but they were so long ago that they are not relevant. This prop is only for 90 min + inj. The last two U20 soccer props featured were both sheep slaughters as the matches ended in draws in regular time, but I think Spain can take care of business in regular time.
- Confidence: 70%
- MLB: Kansas City Royals
- As I'm typing this, it looks like I'll get my pick wrong from todays game by taking the Royals. Hopefully they can win this one. Ervin Santana is their scheduled starter, and he last faced Oakland on May 18, a game which the Royals lost 2 - 1. The Royals are favored, but not by much. Still, I'll roll with them today as I think Santana is a better pitcher than Parker.
- Confidence: 50%
- MLB: Pittsburgh Pirates
- We hope you got a win by taking the Pirates yesterday. The same should happen today. The Pirates send Charlie Morton to the mound, who is 1 - 1 with a 2.50 ERA on the season. He only went 2 innings in his last outings because the game was cut short due to a rain delay. The Cubs send Edwin Jackson to the mound who is 4 - 10 with a 5.75 ERA on the season. He pitched twice against the Pirates in his last 10 starts, winning one at home and losing one on the road.
- Confidence: 60%
- WNBA: Indiana Fever
- I personally would not pick on this game unless I had a losing streak or less than a win 3. Both of these teams are at the bottom of the Eastern conference standings, mainly due to numerous injuries. They have only met once this season, a game the Sun won by 12 at Indiana. I'm only taking the Fever here because they have more players back from injury, are at home, and have won their last 2 game. I wouldn't be surprised with either winning though.
- Confidence: 45%
- WNBA: Washington Mystics
- Wow, another tossup WNBA prop. Again, I wouldn't pick this with anything higher than a win 3. These teams have met once this season, a game that the Storm won by 10 at home. The Storm are next to last in the league in scoring though. I'm taking the Mystics at home to make their coach the current winingest coach in the WNBA. But like I said, pick at your own risk.
- Confidence: 45%
- MLB: Tampa Bay Rays
- The Rays only lead the season series against the White Sox 3 - 2, but both teams and pitchers have been headed in opposite directions of late. After going through a rough stretch, Moore has won his last 3 starts and the Rays have won 9 of their last 12 games. Sale has been the opposite, going 0 - 5 with a 3.19 ERA in the month of June. The White Sox have lost 25 of their last 35 games, including last night against the Rays. The Rays aren't huge favorites (-134), but with Moore on the mound and home field advantage, they should win this game.
- Confidence: 70%
- MLB: Milwaukee Brewers
- The Brewers and Mets met for the first time this season last night and the Mets won handily, as we predicted. I'm actually going with the Brewers in this game though. They send Yovani Gallardo to the mound this time who is 6 - 8 with a 4.78 ERA on the season, but he is so much better than the starting pitcher last night. The Mets on the other hand send Shaun Marcum to the mound who is just 1 - 9 with a 5.03 ERA on the season. The pitching matchup definitely goes to the Brewers, and the only reason they should lose the game is if they can't get the run support.
- Confidence: 50%
- MLB: Philadelphia Phillies
- The Phillies even up the season series with a win yesterday. The winning streak should continue for the Phillies today. Hudson was slated to start for the Braves yesterday but was held back a day due to a strained neck. He's now had 6 days of rest, but that didn't work out well for him last time it happened. Hudson hasn't gotten a win in his past 10 starts, and I don't see the pattern changing today. Kendrick is 7 - 5 with a 3.59 ERA on the season and is 1 - 1 with a 2.91 ERA in 19 games (13 starts) against the Braves.
- Confidence: 60%
- MLB: Los Angeles Dodgers
- The Giants will end their losing streak sometime, I'm just not sure when, and I don't think it will come against the Dodgers. They were just destroyed by the Dodgers, losing 10 - 2. Matt Kemp will most likely be out this game, but that shouldn't matter much. Bumgarner has been good for the Giants, but he did lose his last start against the Dodgers. Fife has done well and won his last start against the Giants.
- Confidence: 65%
- Soccer: New England Revolution Win
- New England is 6th in their conference table with 5 wins, 6 draws, and 5 losses and a GD of +5. San Jose is 8th in their conference table with 5 wins, 6 draws and 8 losses, But a GD of -10. These teams have not played this year and only played once last season, a 1 - 0 win for San Jose at home.
- Confidence: 50%
- LAX: Boston Cannons
- These teams have identical records as both are at 5 - 4 this season. They have played once this season, a 15 - 13 win for Boston on the road on June 15. This time Boston is at home so hopefully they will get the win again.
- Confidence: 55%
- Soccer: Philadelphia Union Win or Draw
- Philadelphia is in the table with 7 wins, 6 draws, and 5 losses and a GD of +1. Houston is just one spot below them with 6 wins, 5 draws, and 6 losses and a GD of +1. The game is at Houston, but the team are pretty much even in terms of record and standing, so I think the draw is a very likely outcome.
- Confidence: 50%
- MLB: Boston Red Sox
- The line slightly favors the Angels, but their starting pitcher, Jerome Williams, is coming off of just 3 days rest and a horrible start his last time out as he failed to make it through 2 innings, giving up 7 runs.
- Confidence: 65%
- Soccer: Seattle Sounders Win or Draw
- The Sounders have 3 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses on the road this season. The Whitecaps do have 7 wins on the season, but I just don't see them beating the Sounders, who beat them 3 - 2 at home about a month ago.
- Confidence: 60%
- Other: Any Other Result
- I really don't know about this one. I just picked something.
- Confidence: 30%
- Other: Anderson Silva wins before the start of the 4th round
- Again, I'm not a MMA expert, so pick at your own risk.
- Confidence: 50%
