The Dutch (-1, -115) vs. Costa Rica (L)
Despite the lack of traditional soccer powerhouses in this game, this is actually a very intriguing matchup. On one hand you have the Netherlands who have looked like the best team on the planet at times, especially in their opening match against Spain. On the other side you have a Costa Rica team that no one expected (except Costa Ricans) to still be playing in July! Do not be surprised if Costa scores an early goal in this game and makes soccer fans around the world pronounce the tournament over for the Oranje, only to watch Van Persie score 4 straight goals and roll on to the semis. It has been a good run Costa Rica, but it's time for the big boys to use the pitch now (you like that? A little soccer terminology!).
BJ's Bonus Baseball Bonanza!
PIT (-1) at PHI (P)Andrew McCutchen! When commentators talk about him, they use words like, "athlete" and "swag" for some reason! The Pirates are playing some good stick ball and Philly is liable to shut themselves out any day of the week. Roll the Pirates and enjoy the semi-racist banter of old white baseball commentators.
MIL at CIN (OVER 8) (L)
This will definitely be an 8 or 9 hits per team type of game. Homer Bailey may be great right now, but the Public is going to hammer this under. Take the over and watch as Bailey serves up a plate of home run nuggets to the Brew Crew.
LAD (-1.5) at COL
The Dodgers might be the hottest team in baseball right now! It definitely helps that they are playing the Rockies, a team that is being torn apart from within by it's own star players. With Tulo and Gonzales unhappy with their team's losing ways, the Dodgers should win 9-0 easily.
