Sunday's hot picks
Soccer
England (Premiership): Aston Villa +125 (vs. West Brom)
This looks like the best bargain of the day. A free-scoring Aston Villa taking on an offensively challenged West Brom.
Cons: Aston Villa played a mid-week UEFA Cup game away from England. The fatigue of international travel may affect their play today.
Netherlands (Eredevisie): NAC Breda +225 (vs. Roda JC)
NAC Breda is one of the best road prospects in Dutch soccer. We're getting this nice price on them because of the often disproportionate advantage bookmakers give to home teams. I'll take the more offensive NAC Breda any day over Roda JC, wherever the game is played.
Spain (La Liga): Real Madrid +110 (vs. Racing Santander) Madrid are the better team in all areas of the game - offense, midfield and defense.
Cons: You never know which Madrid will show up for this game. However, if Madrid are to win the title again this year, this is one of those games they can't afford to drop.
MLB
Rays -1.5 (+175)
Liriano and the Twins have been far from convincing on the road. Liriano owns a 6.41 road ERA that is 2 full runs higher than Sonnanstine's 4.51 home ERA. Add the Twins' generous pen to that mix and the Rays run line should cash here comfortably.
