July 2nd

1. Mark Cavendish or AOC
The classic SFTC Cavendish props.  Cavendish is a cycler who you will never see at the top of the Tour Standings for the Yellow jacket, but he is a dangerous contender on flat legs.  While I'll take AOC, this is not an easy prop.

2. Djokovic 3-0 vs AOR
This one is a bunny.  3-0 easy.

3.Yankees get a hit in the 1st and 2nd?
In their last 20 games, the Yankees have gotten at least one hit in the first and second innings 9 times.  Additionally, in his 15 starts this season, Moore has given up at least one hit in the first and second innings only 5 times.  While there's no doubt in my mind either result is possible, I think No is a much better option.

4. HR innings 4-6?
The Yankees lead the Majors in HR's with 124 in ~702 innings, or  .530 HRs/3innings.  The Rays are 17th with 76 HR's in ~711 innings, or .321 HRs/3innings.  Garcia, typically a reliever for the Yankees, may not go all the way to the 6th, but he has given up 4 HR's in 31 innings of work, for .387 HRs/3 innings.  Moore has given up 13 HR's in 88 innings for .443 HR's/3innings.  However, Tropicana field ranks 21st in HR happy ballparks.  I'll take Yes.

5. Full count in the top of the 8th?
Not much else to do but backtrack this one.  In the Yankees last 85 innings,  40 of them have had a full count.  That's 47%, so a slight favorite toward No.

6. Boston vs Oakland
While Parker has been pitching great this year, he's still a rookie and it will catch up with him.  The Red Sox have the second best run production in the MLB, compared to Oakland's dismal 25th.  Matsuzaka has had a few rough outings this year, but I think he gets back to form here.  Additionally, the Red Sox have the 9th best bullpen in the majors.  I'll take the Red Sox.
