US Open men's final set for Monday; Djokovic favored

Novak Djokovic demolished David Ferrer 2-6, 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 in his US Open semifinal and now squares off against defending Olympic champion Andy Murray, who is searching for his first grand slam title Monday.

Djokovic is listed at -250 on sportsbook.com to capture his second US Open Championship and sixth grand slam title. Murray is a +220 dog to knock off the Serbian and become the first British man in 76 years to capture a major tournament victory.

Djokovic has only dropped one set in the tournament and holds an 8-6 edge over the Olympic champion in their head-to-head matches.

MLB: Minnesota vs. Detroit
Pick:
Minnesota
Start:
May 23, 2013 - 7:08 PM
Capper:
Will Rogers
Offered at:
5dimes @ 161 Minnesota
Analysis:

I've been on a real roll in MLB lately & don't be surprised to see the Minnesota Twins shock the Detroit Tigers on Thursday. The Tigers had to deal with two lengthy rain delays in Cleveland on Wednesday before ultimately prevailing 11-7. While it was a rewarding series for Detroit (won both games), it was a taxing one as well.  Don't be surprised to see them get caught napping tonight.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Scott Diamond - He's been "sneaky good" on the road this season, winning all 3 starts and posting a 1.42 ERA and 0.737 WHIP.  Facing a Tigers team that has dropped significant money vs. lefties the last two seasons, including a 3-6 mark in '13, is an advantage for Diamond.  Tigers' starter Rick Porcello has a 6.25 ERA in seven starts this season & a 3-11 TSR in his career when working on 5+ days rest.

2.  Scheduling Advantage - Though the Twins lost their 8th in a row yesterday, at least the game was over early.  Detroit's game in Cleveland didn't end until much later than anticipated thanks to nearly two hours worth of rain delays.

3. X-Factor - Minnesota is a perfect 5-0 this year as a road underdog in the +150 to +175 range.

Selection: The play is on the Minnesota Twins (1*)
