1. Will Gabby Douglas medal?
If you read my Yahoo spots locks, you'll see that I don't think there's any way Douglas wins gold, but I don't even expect her to medal, with two competitors who beat her in the uneven bars section of the all around, in addition to two uneven bar specialists (Kexin, Tweddle). I think Gabby will place at best 4th, but probably 5th or lower.
2. France vs Japan
Pretty much a toss up soccer match. Have to roll with the Japanese since they won the last world cup and looked strong against Brazil.
3. USA 2+ vs AOR
Going with AOR because while the US has looked good, Canada has done extremely well in the tournament and is in very good form, I think the US advances, but only by one, or in additional time.
7. Run in the 8th?
The O/U on this game was so low because of the strength of the starting pitchers, however, this prop will likely involve the bullpen, though it is possible Verlander goes that deep in the game. The Yankees bullpen is 7th in ERA, while the Tigers is 18th. The Yankees score the 5th most runs and the Tigers score the 10th most. Comerica is ranked in the middle of parks as far as runs, at 13th. This is pretty much a tossup prop, likely depends on where each team is in their batting order for me.
