Any thoughts on the Venezuela/Australia softball spread? If Canada drops their game to Japan, the surging Venezuelans can get in with a win against a team that is already in. Venezuela +5 looks like way to many runs to give to a team that has been money lately, and facing a team (AUS) with a horrid batting average.
Venezuela was supposed to be a walk over in this tournament, but have impressed me so far. The Aussies are guaranteed to be in the medal round and I think it's pretty much locked up that they'll play Japan in the semis, so who knows if they might rest some girls if they have younger players on the bench that could use some experience, or even just that they will rest their stronger pitchers.
Venezuela will likely not score more than 1 or 2 runs though, if they score at all. Not sure how much the Aussies will be able to score though as their strong suit is their pitching. +5 seems like a solid play.
