Las Vegas - Looked over the baseball card, and nothing was really calling my name. So, it's across the pond to scope out a Premier League match between Tottenham and Newcastle United. The Spurs are a YUGE favorite, but think they are worth a bite. Why? How about the fact that the Hotspur have lost just one of their last 10 Premier League home games. Or, Newcastle has won just three of their last 21 League games in London. Just in case you were wondering, the Spurs live in London.

Las Vegas - John Harbaugh was on the way to 3-0, then there was LIGHTNING. The Eagles- Ravens game was suspended at 11:53 of the 4th quarter, which made the game a wash. The standing rule is, a game must go 55 minutes for it to be official. That woulda been a 3-0 preseason perfecto for Harbaugh, but Baltimore bettors had to settle for a refund instead. And of course, every loyal Philly bettor that dropped cash on the Birds was THRILLED!!!

Las Vegas - On the baseball board, while the Tigers have become the DARLINGS of all the sportsbooks here in Vegas and around the world, don't think they're gonna be able to solve Jose Berrios at home in Minnesota. Bet the game last night at around -$230 when Boyd was the listed starter for Detroit, but they have changed to VerHagen, and the line jumped to -$320. Still like the Twinkies, but will scale down the wager.

Las Vegas - A little somethin' somethin' for tonight's preseason NFL slate if you're interested. First up is the Brothers Gruden. Big brother Jon has enjoyed a money-making 20-12-3 (62.5%) exhibition record while little brother Jay is just mediocre at 11-11, but has cost you some juice if you followed him. But note that Jay has gone over the total in eight games, while dropping Under in 14.

Las Vegas - Gonna take a look at the Red Sox with Rick Porcello over the Phillies and Drew Smyly. Not totally thrilled with Porcello's work this season. He has given up a ton of runs but has also won six of the last eight. The problem is Smiles. Not quite sure what Philly sees or saw with Smyly, so maybe Matt Klentak or someone from his office can call me. Or, if you're in Vegas, we can drop in for some glorious Thai food, my treat.
