Happy 4th......

In a continuing effort to shower my loyal reader's with dinero, Propick Sports is releasing a July 4th double header. In the first game I am laying the heavy lumber with the Yankees and Phil Hughes (-220) over the Blue Jays. This is the Boss' birthday and even in George's diminished state of mind, the Yankees are not going to lay an egg on their owners birthday. Despite playing well following a loss, the Blue Jays are playing a Yankees team who has been dominant at home. The release: Yankees -220 over the Blue Jays. If you fear laying the big odds, take the Yankees runline (-1.5) -115.

Nothing is more American than the St. Louis Cardinals playing at home on July 4th. Therefore, it is only fitting that I release the Cards -150 over the Brewers, in what is sure to be an excellent pitching match up between Wainwright and Gallardo. On the surface, this game appears to be an easy call with the Cardinals sporting a 44-20 record in Wainwright's last 64 starts. However, the Brewers are 16-6 in their last 22 games in St. Louis. That being said, the Cardinals are a good team coming off a loss and with their ace on the hill, I recommend laying the -150 and taking the Cards over the Brewers.
