Las Vegas - Bonjour! Got a couple of matches today at the French Open in Paris, and not interested in Nadal/Schwartzman for a couple of reasons. First, we're NOT getting up at 5:00 AM in Vegas, but more importantly, NOT gonna lay $3000 to win back a stinkin' hundy. However, we will jump on Novak Djokovic as he takes on Matteo Berrettini. Djoker is a YUGE favorite, around -$420 depending on where you shop, but he should ease past the talented Italian in straight sets. Novak fell asleep at the start of his last match, losing the first two sets to Lorenzo Musetti before storming back to win the last three, 6-1, 6-0 and 4-0. If you're wondering about the 4-0 in the final set, Lorenzo retired. Better believe that Djokovic will have his mental alarm set for the first point of the first set and cruise into the semi-final where he'll probably have to face the King of Clay, Rafa Nadal. And if you're not thrilled about laying over $400 for the match, drop a few chips on Novak to win the first set at -$250.

Checking the bases, gonna roll with the White Sox and Lance Lynn over the Giants. Double L is pitching like he wants a taste of the Cy Young award. He has not lost a game since April 15 (6-0) and has allowed only four earned runs over the last 34 innings for a thin 1.06 ERA. Don't care who throws for San Francisco as long as Lynn is working his magic. And you can BOOK IT!!!

On the NBA board, just got word that Denver's Michael Porter Jr. is now listed as probable. So, maybe a little tickle on the Nuggets.
