I'm off to work until just after the Euro starts , so I'm gonna make an early entry here:

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

EURO 2008

Switserland vs Czech Rep.

Despite the Swiss playing at home, they face easily,the best team in the division.
It pays a pretty penny given the differences between the two teams.

Bet on the Czech Rep. Win

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Turkey - Portugal

Turkey is a very dangerous team, and may suprise Portugal here.
Given the fact that Portugal is the heavy favorites, the draw pays a fortune, and seems like the most likely result.

Bet on the draw

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

So the favorites, Czech Republic and Portugal got the wins.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

EURO 2008

Austria vs Croatia

There is no doubt that Austria is outclassed by Croatia here.
Austria is playing at home though, and Croatia is overated.
Taking out England wasn't as big of an achievment as it looked.
Austia's win pays a fortune here.

Bet on the Austria Win

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Germany - Poland

This game should determine first place in the division.
I'm not sure if the favorite Germans will be able to beat this strong Polish team.
Germany's win is underpriced.

Bet on the draw

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

MLB

Detroit Tigers vs Clevland Indians
Galarraga - Sowers

Most people still have no idea how good this Sowers guy is.

Bet on the Clevland Indians

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Boston Red Sox vs Seattle Mariners
Masterson - Bedard

The Red Sox have sustained some key injuries.
Even without them, the Sox's style line-up is the perfect style for Bedard to clean up.

Bet on the Seattle Mariners

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

San Diego Padres vs New York Mets
Ledezma - P.Martinez

I'm a firm believer in Pedro's return to the Major leagues this time around.

Bet on the New York Mets

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

Not the best of days, although the Celtics did take a 2-0 lead to win it all!
I must note that from the following picks, tommorow's(Tuesday's) Sweden-Greece match, is key, and should be used as a base.


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

MONDAY

EURO 2008

France - Romania

Poor Romania, they drew into this group of death with 3 of the best teams in the world.
Things may seem grim for them, but I can't imagine them finishing with 0 points.
France is the most likely to give up a draw to the men from the Carpathian mountains.
It also pays a fortune.

Bet on the Draw

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Italy - Holland

IMO, these are the two best teams in the competition.
If they do manage to take out France, they won't have to meet each other again until the final.
A draw is the most likely result here.

Bet on the Draw

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

MLB

Detroit Tigers vs Clevland Indians
D.Willis - C.Lee

Lee is becoming more realistic as his ERA has risen to 2.45.
He remains 9-1, and despite facing a really tough task against this line-up, he should do better than Willis.
It pays well.

Bet on the Clevland Indians

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Toronto Blue Jays vs Seattle Mariners
Litsch - Washburn

Do not underestimate the Mariners.
They are by far, a greater team than the Blue Jays, and their record will show it at the end of the year.
Washburn is better than his numbers and Litsch worse.
Where I am, this game pays a fortune!

Bet on the Seattle Mariners

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

TUESDAY

EURO 2008

Sweden - Greece

This is easily the best bet of the week!
Greece is not worthy of participating in this cup.
The Swedes are in form, given the fact that this is the normal time for them to be in form as their local competition is a summer occasion where as the rest of the world rests at this time.
The two teams are leagues apart.

Bet on the Sweden Win

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

LA Angels vs Tampa Bay Rays
Jered Weaver - J.Shields

An amazing pitching duel this one.

Bet on the under

Holland 3 - 0 Italy Great freaking game. Holland just attacked and attacked and then attacked some more. Italy couldn't handle the pace or the pressure. The names in the italian side may be some of the greats, but there are a lot of miles on those legs and they just aren't keeping up.

Holland is a great team.
You can't count out Italy at this time, as they will not have to face this great Dutch team again until the final.
Sweden may be tough on the Italians, should they have to face them in the next round, but beyond that, there's not too many teams in this Euro that can beat the world cup Champions.

[lookout123]

Spain with a nice display today. They've changed their shape with Torres and Villa upfront. Villa for the hattrick.
