Bolt's odds for 200m make big move after 100m gold medal

Usain Bolt proved that he remains the fastest man on the planet.

The Jamaican sprinter successfully defended his Olympic title after winning the men’s 100-meter final Sunday. Bolt ran in a blistering time of 9.63 seconds, setting a new Olympic record. He becomes the only man since Carl Lewis (1984-1988) to win back-to-back Olympic sprint golds.

The impressive performance caused Sportsbook.com to move Bolt's odds from 1-3 before the Olympics to 1-6.

Bolt begins defending his title in the 200-meter event, which he considers his best, in Tuesday’s heats. He’s also part of Jamaica’s 4x100 relay team that races Friday.

Here are the odds for the upcoming races:

Men’s 200m odds:

Usain Bolt -625
Yohan Blake +350
Wallace Spearmon +5000
Christophe Lemaitre +6000
Churandy Martina +6600

Men’s 4x100m rodds: 

Jamaica -333
USA +250
Trinidad and Tobago +2000
Great Britain + 2500
France +3300
Japan +10000
Canada +10000

Play On: L.A. Dodgers vs Minor

Note: The struggling Dodgers close out a three game set the Braves when they face Mark Minor in Atlanta Sunday afternoon.  That's good news for Los Angeles considering Minor is 0-4 with a 6.36 ERA at home in his career team starts during the month of May.

In addition, Minor is also 0-2 at home in his career team starts in this series.  With that look for L. A. to catch a break here today.  We recommend a 1-unit play in the Dodgers.  Thank you and good luck as always.
