August 2nd

1. Lower back 9 score, Scott or tie vs Kuchar
Not surprised SM forced an Adam Scott prop on us.  After the choke at the British open, who knows what Scott's mental state is at this point.  If we assume he'll be on his game (which is a biggg assumption,) he has 3 straight top 15 finishes.  Kuchar placed 34th at the Canadian Open, but before that had two straight top ten finishes.  Its pretty close to even, but in a 9 hole golf prop, the tie option looms too large to take Kuchar.

2. Gold medalist's winning time, 2:21.49 or faster vs 2:21.50 or slower
I think this is pretty close to a lock, although the prop could just as easily said what will be Rebecca Soni's time, because there's little doubt she wins gold.  She swam an incredible 2:20.00 in the semis, but I think more important to note is the 2:21.40 in the heats.  If she can swim 2:21.40 in the heats, when she might be taking a little off, in the finals she should have no trouble getting below that.  She won in 2008 so there shouldn't be any nerves playing a factor.  While at the 2011 worlds, she finished the final .44 seconds slower than the semifinal, both times were under 2:21.49. I'm a little worried about a trap, but I think 2:21.49 is the pick.

3. Men's 200 IM Lotche vs Phelps
Lotche blew Phelps away in the 400 IM and I expect the same here.  No doubt Lotche is the best in the IM event right now.

4. Goal in the first 25 min?
In Real Madrids 2 club friendly matches this year there have been a combined total of 13 goals, 7 by Real and 6 by their opponents.  A lot of this prop depends on who Real Madrid sends out there, but the LA defense is very porous and so I would expect an early goal.

5. Both teams to score in the 2nd half?
I do expect LA to score at some point, Real is yet to keep a clean sheet in club friendlys, so if they score in the first half I will probably take no, but if they don't I'll be on yes, might go yes regardless.
