NASCAR Betting Odds – Who’s Got the Edge in the LifeLock.com 400?
This week NASCAR heads to Chicagoland Speedway for the LifeLock.com 400. The favorite in the NASCAR sportsbook to win the LifeLock.com 400 is Jimmie Johnson at +325.
Johnson has done very well lately on the Sprint Cup Circuit when winning 2 out of the last 3 Sprint Cup races, but he might not be the best bet in the sportsbook.

MLB Free Picks – Blue Jays Host Injury Depleted Red Sox
There’s probably no team more eager to take a break at the mid-point of the season than the injury riddled Boston Red Sox. Losers of their last four games, the boys from Bean Town visit Toronto over the weekend to try and get back to winning form. The oddsmakers have listed them as -135 favorites on the moneyline, but the Jays are a sneaky team at home.
The Red Sox still have major injuries to deal with, and the losing streak is a concern especially as the Tampa Bay Rays inch closer to the division leading Yankees.

Horse Racing Betting – Night Spirit as Top Pick
Racing returns to the Jersey Shore on Friday afternoon, with Monmouth Park offering up a dozen races, with a later post time, the first race kicking off at 2:10 ET.
The heat on the east coast will subside a few degrees this afternoon, with temperatures in the high 80’s at Belmont Park and Monmouth Park.
Belmont Park gets underway first today, and our play of the day comes later in the card, the seventh race, which is a $40,000 claiming race.
Our top pick is Night Spirit who steps into a tougher spot while retuning to the turf for the first time since last summer.
Her last turf try came at Colonial Downs where she was a well beaten ninth, but she has the turf pedigree to handle the surface, and she looks much sharper now than she did last summer.
The late Pick 3 starts with the tenth race at Monmouth Park, a three race sequence that includes three longshots.
It appears we can beat all three of the likely favorites, and the final leg of the wager leaves us four deep with a pair of runners that could go off at double-digit odds, which should give us a good shot of padding our bankroll with just a $24 investment.
Today’s Play of the Day from Belmont Park:
BEL Race 7 Clm $40,000B (4:12 ET)
#2 Night Spirit 7/2
#3 Spiritual Tune 9/2
#4 Hey Babe 5/2
#1 Little Miss Macho 6/1
Analysis: #2 Night Spirit rolled over $25K non-winners of two last out in a race taken off the turf in her first go off a nine-month layoff.

Is Arizona the Right Favorite to Back in the MLB Sportsbook on Friday Night?
Are the Arizona Diamondbacks the right team to back in the MLB Sportsbook on Friday night? The D’Backs, because they send Dan Haren to the mound, are -140 favorites in the sportsbook to beat the Florida Marlins.
It hasn’t exactly been a Dan Haren-type year so far for ‘Zona’s ace. Mr. Haren is 7 and 6 with a 4.38 ERA and a 1.31 WHIP. He and his team have been awful lately.
LeBron’s Final Decision
The King will have a new court.
That’s right, after seven years in Cleveland, six All-Star appearances, four first team All-NBA’s, two MVP’s and a 2007 NBA Finals appearance, LeBron James is leaving the only professional city he’s ever called home.
He’ll be playing for the Miami Heat this coming fall, after his long drawn out free agency came to an end Thursday night.
In a move that was highly reported, but still shocking- especially to those in Cleveland- James announced on ESPN during his 9 p.m.

NBA – What Happens To The Cleveland Cavaliers Now?
Dan Gilbert is one pissed-off owner, and you can’t exactly blame him.
Maybe it was ridiculous for Cleveland to believe that LeBron James was going to remain a Cavalier, but for all intents and purposes, the guy who calls himself “The King” pretty much strung a quarter of the NBA, and his own home state fans, on a wild goose chase.
