Las Vegas - Hey Eck, you betting the All-Star game? NAH! Why bother. A few years ago, the winner of the game was awarded home field advantage in the World Series. Since 2017, the pennant winner with the better regular-season record gets the home field. So, basically, other than photo-ops, selfies and bat flips, the game really means nothing. Which means the wallet is closed! Would rather bet on the Modus Icons of Darts Live League and grab Kevin Burness over Ryan Hogarth.

Las Vegas - Gonna get to the winner of the Home Run Derby in a second, but if you wanna know who has the coolest bats, Pete Alonso is off the charts. He has a bunch of bats designed by artist Gregory Siff that kinda tell the story of his life. There are phrases like Family First, Truth, Beauty, Love, Baseball, LFGM and 'Molon Labe,' a Greek phrase meaning 'come and take them' stemming from Alonso's love of the movie "300."

Las Vegas - Breakfast at Wimbledon with Novak Djokovic looking for his 20th major to tie Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. A win would also put Djoker 3/4 of the way to the single season Grand Slam which has not happened since the GREAT GREAT Rod Laver did it back in 1969. Novak WILL drop the Italian Matteo Berrettini, but not prepared to lay $500 to win back $100.

Las Vegas - Get ready for delicious. Brazil vs. Argentina in the Copa America final at the legendary Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. Does NOT get any tastier. Two great soccer traditions and two of the world's greatest players. Argentina's Lionel Messi is perhaps, the world's best, although some might argue in favor of Cristiano Ronaldo. I'm okay with either. For Brazil, it's Neymar Jr.

Las Vegas - It might be 113 degrees and BOILING in Vegas, but up at Tahoe, it's gonna be around 78/80 with a little breeze off the lake when they tee off at 10:00 AM. That'll be perfect for the American Century Championship. You'll be able to find odds on all the players. Tony Romo is the favorite at 3/2, followed by Mardy Fish at 2/1, Mark Mulder at 4/1, with John Smoltz and Annika Sorenstam at 8/1.
