Odds to win the U.S. Open after Round 3

Two former U.S. Open champions are tied atop the leaderboard and the odds board heading into the final round at The Olympic Club on Sunday.

American Jim Furyk and Northern Irishman Graeme McDowell sit at 1-under par and +250 prior to Round 4. Just yesterday the two sat at +500 and +1400 respectively.

Fifteen players are within five shots of the lead featuring a mix of big names and who-is-he's. Lee Westwood shot the round of the day yesterday at 3-under and now sits at +800 at three shots back. Before the tournament, he was set between 12-1 and 15-1 depending where you placed your bet.

Belgian Nicolas Colsaerts and amateur 17-year-old Beau Hossler are two of the lesser known names in contention. Colsaerts is 20-1 while Hossler is at 80-1 at four shots back.

No player from continental Europe has ever won the U.S. Open. 

Tiger Woods is five shots behind the leaders and is now 8-1. He was only +110 heading into Round 3, which he entered in a tie for the lead with Jim Furyk.

Bettors have until about 1 p.m. ET to get their bets 'to win' in. Odds courtesy of SportsInteraction.

MLB: Milwaukee vs. Houston
Pick:
Houston
Start:
June 18, 2013 - 8:10 PM
Capper:
Will Rogers
Offered at:
5dimes @ 104 Houston
Analysis:

Though the Brewers had Monday off while the Astros lost (snapped 4-game win streak), I'll still side with the home team here. Milwaukee is just too untrustworthy on the road and Jordan Lyles has actually been a reliable arm for Houston.

Here are my keys to the game:

1.  Home Field Advantage - The Brew Crew is just 12-20 on the road this season, averaging only four runs/game.  They lost two of three in Cincinnati over the weekend, getting held to 1 run in a loss Sunday.

2.  Jordan Lyles - The Astros starter has a 1.83 ERA his last three starts and just threw seven scoreless innings his most recent start, a 6-1 win at Seattle. He gave up just three hits. It was the 5th time in 6 starts allowing two runs or less.

3. X-Factor - Milwaukee is just 2-7 in Interleague Play this year, averaging only 3.2 runs/game.

Selection: This is a free play on the Houston Astros (1*).
