SFTC Picks for Sunday 8/18

Monthly Path (53-40)
Crystal Palace
Chelsea by 2
Chevrolet
No
Yes
Yes


Trap Picks (6-9)



830 Crystal Palace- I am just a big fan of the draw option at home. From what I have read and know about the EPL Crystal Palace isn't that good or wont be that good this year. Hotspur will be pretty good this year. But from what I read is that Bale who is Hotspur best player will not be playing. If that is the case then I am really thinking Palace holds for a draw. Confidence:1

915 Johnson Reed or Spieth- This is pretty much a toss up. There are basically 8 golfers that have a chance to win tomorrow including these 3. Reed really struggled today. But I really like Johnson and Spieth. I really like Garrigus and think he could be dangerous if he gets hot. But my prediction will be that Spieth gets it done tomorrow. Confidence:2

1100 Chelsea by 2 - I usually don't like picking a team to win by 2. But considering Chelsea is expect to be 1 of the best teams in the EPL. They are solid from top to bottom. From everything I have seen is that Hull City will most likely not score. If that is the case then I like Chelsea to get at least 2. I got Chelsea winning 2-0. Confidence:3

1240 23 games or fewer- I am sticking to what I said a few days ago and that is I refuse to pick against Nadal. He has been absolutely on fire this year on the hard court. I am basically looking at this pick as will there be a 3rd set or not because I don't see Nadal losing this match. I love watching Isner play as I would expect most that actually watch tennis do. He really hustles and doesn't give up on a lot of points. Isner's serve has been great so far in this tournament. That is really the only thing holding me back from making this a quality pick. But I think Isner having to play long matches the last couple days will have an affect on him. There is no way that I could pick against Nadal the way he has been dominating recently. Confidence:2

105 Chevrolet- I am really shocked I am actually going to put this pick up. But there are 2 favorites for this race that have really high odds above everyone else. That is Johnson and Kahne. They are both with Chevrolet. There are only 3 types of manufacturers so you get 1/3. Confidence:3

135 Los Angeles Dodgers- I don't understand how you cannot think the Dodgers will win this game. I am personally not a big fan of Nolasco but he has pitched really well recently. His stats show that he generally pitches better on the road. The Phillies just have too many issues right now since Manuel was fired. You almost get the feel that they don't wan to be there anymore. With the Dodgers bats finally getting healthy I look for them to give enough runs here even if Nolasco doesn't have a great game. I think Hamels would have to throw a no hitter to win this. Confidence:3

135 Pittsburgh Pirates- I got this game as a toss up. The Pirates sometimes struggle with lefties and I think Miley could give them trouble. Miley has pitched well against the Pirates in the past. But Miley road numbers are slightly high this year. Morton is really unpredictable and I'm not  a big fan of his. But 1 thing I have seen from the Pirates is they do a good job of rebounding after a losses. I got them finding a way to do it here. Confidence:1

210 Minnesota Twins- Deduno at home is too tough here. Confidence:2

410 No - Azarenka is 2-12 in matches against Serena. Yes would of won 6/14 times. On hard courts 5/9. Its funny that given those numbers most people would say why aren't you taking yes. Basically Serena is capable of being the best whenever she wants to be. Serena sounded like she really wanted this tournament in her interview. While Azaernka didn't look that great and dropped a set in her game. I see this exactly as Vegas does 6-4 6-4 Serena. Confidence:2

410 New York Mets- Harvey on the mound always makes them an interesting play. Mets struggle against lefties. Harvey has lost his last 3 road starts. Stults isn't that good so I expect the Mets to get enough runs for Harvey here. Confidence:3

805 New York Yankees- I really don't know what to expect from this game. CC is hit or miss when he plays the Red Sox. Dempster seems to get lit up every time he plays the Yankees. Dempster has been getting tagged with a lot of runs in his last couple starts. But the Red Sox always seem to find a way to win when he pitches. I got CC outpitching Dempster so I got the Yankees here. Confidence:2

812 Yes- Given how hot Soriano has been recently and given how bad Dempster has been I would think Soriano would. Soriano 1-4 with 2Ks all time vs Dempster. Confidence:1

935 Yes- I am thinking both starting pitchers will be out by this point so it will come down to the bullpens. I am thinking someone will get 1 with so many option on both teams. Confidence:1

1005 2 goals or fewer- Confidence:1
