Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix ***

The Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix through the historic streets of Monte Carlo is one of the toughest races in all of motorsports.

Favorite

Lewis Hamilton (-175) won there in 2008 and has won an incredible four of the first five races this season. Hamilton could easily ride his momentum to another Monaco victory.

Dangerous dog

Nico Rosberg (+175), teammate to Hamilton at Mercedes, has won the other race not claimed by Hamilton this season. Rosberg won at Monaco last season and repeat winners are not unheard of. It’s happened twice in the last 15 years.

Live long shot

Sebastian Vettel (+1,500) could be the surprise at the end of the day. He won the 2011 race and finished second last year. He’s been itching to get back to the top of the podium and may have that chance Sunday.

INDIANAPOLIS 500 ***

When it comes to American auto racing, no other event has as long and storied a history as the Indianapolis 500. It may not enjoy the prominence it once has but upwards of 250,000 people will still pack the speedway Sunday.

Favorite

Helio Castroneves (+600) has won the big race three times in his career. He has two top five finishes in the four races so far this season, including a third place at the Indianapolis Grand Prix to start the month off. His last Indy 500 win came in 2009 and it would be no surprise to see the Penske Racing driver add a fourth win Sunday.

Dangerous dog

Juan Pablo Montoya (+700) is teammate at Penske Racing to Castroneves. He’s making his return to open wheel racing after a stint in NASCAR. He won the Indy 500 in 2000. Montoya has been fast all month and Sunday should be no different.

Live long shot

Tony Kanaan (+1,500) may have shaken his bad luck off last year. After 11 starts, Kanaan won last year and could be primed for a repeat. He starts deep in the field at 16th but already having tasted the milk, he should be thirsty for more.

French Open betting: WOMEN to watch at Roland Garros
by DOC’S SPORTS

The Grand Slam of the tennis season gets underway on the red dirt of Roland Garros Sunday. As always, Serena Williams is the obvious favorite on the women’s side, but Paris is always good for a few surprises.

Who will it be this year?

Favorite

Serena Williams (+120)

Serena is prone to the random loss from out of left field every now and then. She has too many off-the-court interests not to be. Heck, even Roger Federer in his prime took a few in the loss column.

For Serena, more than a few of her hiccups have come at the French Open. Part of the reason, of course, is that her overwhelming power game simply does not work as well on clay. She has triumphed in Paris only twice, including a 2002 sister-versus-sister final against Venus. That may be why the odds suggest Serena is a slight underdog against the field -but still a massive favorite overall – for the upcoming fortnight.

But there’s a lot to like. Serena’s second Roland Garros triumph came last spring, so she should be confident. The World No. 1 is also coming off a title last week in Rome, where she dropped only one set and none of the sets she won were closer than 6-3.

Best of the rest

Maria Sharapova (+400)

With Victoria Azarenka still sidelined by a foot injury, Sharapova is the second choice – slightly ahead of 2011 French Open champion Li Na (+500). The Russian has done extremely well to reinvent herself on clay. After making only one semifinal in her first eight appearances at Roland Garros, her last three results there are semifinal, champion, runner-up.

What’s not to think Sharapova won’t contend again this time around? She won two of three clay-court tournaments heading into Paris, first in Stuttgart and then in Madrid.

Underdog to watch

Simona Halep (+1,000)

Halep is the best player you’ve never heard. Well, at this point maybe you have. The 22 year old is finding her stride – on fire, in fact – and up to No. 4 in the world. Prior to 2013, she had never finished a season ranked better than 47th. She was 11th after last year and is certainly not looking back. Halep’s 2014 highlights include a quarterfinal at the Australian Open (so she knows how to get it done on the big stage), a title in Doha, a semifinal in Indian Wells, and a runner-up performance on the clay courts of Madrid.

The Romanian has made it out of the first round in Paris only once, but she has been at the mercy of the draw as an unseeded player. This is a new Halep, however, so that will no longer be an issue.

Live long shot

Sara Errani (+2,500)

Errani is not playing quite as well as she was in 2012 and 2013, but there is some reason for encouragement after last week’s event in Rome. The Italian reached the final before succumbing to Serena.

On that note, Serena is the one woman Errani simply can’t beat. The World No. 11 is 0-7 lifetime against Serena, has won only a single set, and none of the 14 sets she has lost has even gone to a tiebreaker. If someone can upset Serena before Errani has to face her, though, she would have a legitimate shot at the title.

As for her recent history at Roland Garros, Errani finished runner-up to Sharapova in 2012 and lost to Serena in last year’s semis.

NASCAR Sprint Cup Coca-Cola 600 ***

Sunday wraps up with the longest race – the NASCAR Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. NASCAR’s longest race is always one of the toughest.

Favorite

Kevin Harvick (+500) won this race last year and in 2011. He already has two wins this season and has been fast in the week leading up to Sunday. Look for him to add a third Charlotte win to his resume Sunday.

Dangerous dog

Kasey Kahne (+800) has four wins at Charlotte and has also been fast this week. His last win here came in 2012 and finished second in both Charlotte races last year. If he can avoid the bad luck that has plagued him and his team this season, Kahne could be the guy to beat.

Live long shot

Carl Edwards (+2,000) has never won at Charlotte. However, he has been near the top of the speed charts all week and a Ford did win here in the fall. Edwards could be poised for a breakthrough win Sunday.

Dogs provide value against the spread Saturday

Underdogs own Saturday against the spread in MLB.

Underdogs dominated against the spread in Major League Baseball Saturday, going 12-3 over the faves. Road dogs went a perfect 7-0 against the home favorites providing fantastic value for bettors.

Defense was the story as nine out of fifteen games went under in a day which saw some great pitching performances.


Gonzalez to return to Rockies’ lineup on Sunday

Carlos Gonzalez says he will be back in the Rockies’ starting lineup on Sunday, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports. The outfielder has been out since Wednesday due to inflammation in his left index finger. Gonzalez says that while his finger feels better, it is not completely healed.

Hand problems are not new to Gonzalez, as he suffered from a sprained middle finger last year and a contusion on his index finger earlier this month, but both were on his right hand. His current issue is on his left hand.

Gonzalez, 28, has put up decent numbers thus far, slashing .276/.321/.477 with seven home runs and 29 RBI.
