Wednesday
No baseball again today. Sox were an easy 8-2 winner last night because Matt Cain has morphed into Marco Estrada over the past 6 weeks. Soccer is easier with wingers.
Tuesday
No baseball for us either yesterday or over the weekend. There were not many home underdogs or small favorites to pick from, and I did not run the totals engine at all. There is a single play today:
Giants (Cain)@ White Sox (Danks) +110
I have been looking for some World Cup plays, but the public betting information is not very reliable so I’m hesitant to put anything but the smallest plays down, not that there have been many. Thanks to Sean for posting actual content!!!
Rainy Friday
Two winners yesterday to get us back on track as most of the home teams won. No plays tonight
Cross Bets
Here are my plays today:
Brazil -1.5 @ -120
Brazil 2-0 at 4-1 and Brazil 3-1 at 12-1
Brazil is unbeaten (15-0-2) in 17 straight World Cup openers, winning 8 in a row. Host nations are undefeated in World Cup openers (14-0-6).

Here’s an MLB nugget for Lou:

I also like Miami -5 and in a teaser with the over 197 in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. More from the good folks at Bet Labs:
During the Big Three era the #Heat have gone 10-0 ATS following a playoff loss of more than 10 points. #NBAFinals http://t.co/WrWa9IpHKq
