Tiny Nick’s Gambling Picks: 7/12 - Zone Coverage
Locks

WNBA (1 Unit) Las Vegas Aces/LA Sparks Over 170.5 (-110; Odds via Caesars): 9:00 PM CT on CBSSN

This is a rare scheduling spot where the Aces are on a back-to-back with travel. I think that contributes to more scoring tonight, as does the fact that the All-Star break starts tomorrow so defensive effort might not be fully there. And with the Aces on the road where their defense struggles anyway, that should help fuel plenty of points.

This matchup is really a microcosm of the season for Las Vegas, as they’ve played the Sparks twice already. The game played in LA saw 179 points while the one in Vegas saw 158, so books are more or less splitting the difference on this total. But the Aces scored 94 and 93 in those games, with the difference being their road defensive issues that have caused them to allow 82.4 PPG. If the Aces get theirs again and the defenses take it easy, this should fly over the total.

PGA Tour Scottish Open (Odds via Caesars): Thursday-Sunday on Golf Channel & CBS

We are headed across the pond to Scotland, where Scottie is the odds on favorite. So scoot on over to your favorite Sportsbook and stack some cash up on our slew of selections.

Our field this week is comprised of the top 75 players from the PGA & DP Tours, and with the Open Championship looming, we expect this field to be tight. This is not an easy course and wind is likely to play a factor. We’re looking closely at golfers with strokes gained on approach, as opportunities to score will be key this weekend.
