Las Vegas - Matt Harvey has finally become the pitcher we expected. ATROCIOUS! Just take a look at his last two starts. Cover your eyes and hold your nose because The Dark Knight has been absolutely DESTROYED, allowing 15 hits and 13 earned runs in just 5 innings. Yea, FIVE INNINGS. That works out to a 23.4 ERA. Yea, TWENTY THREE POINT FOUR! It looks like Patrick Corbin will get the start for the Nationals, but don't really care who pitches for Washington. I would take Pee Wee Herman over Harvey. Gimme the Nats for the money, and you can BOOK IT!!!

Going a day early on the tennis courts because the French Open starts around 5:00 AM on the East Coast and 2:00 AM out West tomorrow. And I AIN'T gonna be awake!

GAGNANT!!! Yea, getting my French on and taking a quick look at the Open in Paris starting on Monday. And for all my friends outside of Canada, Gagnant means WINNER! You could also say vainqueur, and of course, we're talking about the KING OF CLAY, Rafael Nadal. Rafa goes for his MIND-BLOWING 14th title and if his knees hold up, just give him the trophy. You'll have to lay a small price, around -$115, but this is as close to a lock as you'll ever find. Just in case one of the young guns decides to go crazy, gonna tickle Stefanos Tsitsipas at around +$700.

If you need a money-maker on the women's side, try defending champion Iga Swiatek from Poland at around +$350. Why Iga? Well, she just won the Italian Open and lost ONLY 13 points in the final as she DOUBLE-BAGELED world #10, Karolina Pliskova. I'm EAGER to drop some zloty, which means gold in Polish, on IGA!!!
