AFL (R13) for June 21
The Eagles return to Melbourne after their bye week
to tackle the ladder leading Hawks at Etihad Stadium – a venue at which the sides have never clashed before and could hardly be considered a 'home' venue for the Hawks. The alarm bells normally ring when a side
makes six changes, but that’s not the case here with Darren Glass,
Beau Waters, Mark LeCras and Josh Kennedy returning for West Coast.
The Eagles ran the Hawks for three quarters when they met in Perth back in round two
before being blown away in the last quarter. Hawthorn really hasn't put a foot wrong since.This looms as a pivotal game for
the Eagles to retain any finals aspirations. If they can exploit
their height advantage in attack and around the ground, this could be a lot
closer than the pundits believe.
Suggested bet: West Coast +32.5 WIN (123-103)

The UK
bookies are crying poor after the first three days of Royal Ascot, so let’s see
if we can inflict some more misery after a profitable carnival to date. The
feature race tonight is the Group 1 £350,000 Coronation Stakes for
three-year-old fillies over the distance of a mile. It features a rematch between the QIPCO 1000 Guineas quinella finishers
Sky Lantern and Just The Judge but both are drawn wide.
Instead, we’ve settled on #2 Big Break. Since 2005, seven
fillies have tried for a Guineas-Coronation double but only one – Ghanaati in
2009 – has succeeded due to the races being so far apart in the calendar. Big
Break was the leading juvenile filly in Ireland last year, including a defeat
of colts in a Group Three event, Big Break did make it to the Irish Guineas
(she finished fourth) but has been aimed at this by Dermot Weld.

NBA Finals
for June 21
NBA Finals
game 7: San Antonio Spurs @ Miami Heat, AmericanAirlines Arena, Miami, FL,
Wednesday, June 19, 10.10am (series tied 3-3)

bet on the ‘head to head’ market and if your team scores 100 points but loses
the match, Centrebet will refund your first bet up to $100 cash!
After
losing a late lead in Game 6 in devastating fashion, the San Antonio Spurs
attempt to become the first road team in 35 years to win Game 7 of the NBA
Finals in this decisive match-up with the Miami Heat. San Antonio had a
five-point lead with 28.1 seconds left in regulation on Tuesday before Miami
rallied to force overtime and eventually claim a 103-100 victory. The Heat
haven’t won back-to-back games in four weeks.
Miami
trailed by 13 points late in the third quarter of Game 6 and the home fans were
scurrying to the exits when the Heat trailed by five points in the final
half-minute. But Ray Allen drained the game-tying three-pointer with 5.2
seconds left and Miami outplayed San Antonio over the second half of overtime
to keep alive its hopes of winning back-to-back titles. The 1978 Washington
Bullets were the last team to win a road Game 7 in the NBA Finals, beating the
Seattle SuperSonics.
The health
of guard Dwyane Wade is a major concern after he injured his surgically
repaired left knee in the first half of Game 6. Wade has been ineffective for
much of the postseason due to an injured right knee. We’ve made much of the
Heat’s inability to win successive games in recent weeks, going L, W, L, W, L,
W, L, W, L, W, L, W in their past 12. The Spurs are 2-1 ATS against the Heat in
this finals series. The popular support may be with the Heat, but we’re going to
stick with the trend, the value, and the Spurs. Enjoy the game!
Suggested
bet: Spurs +5.5 (two units @ $1.91) LOSE, Spurs 1-10 (one unit @ $3.90), LOSE, Heat 1-10
(one unit @ $2.75) WIN 88-95
MLB for
June 21
Tampa Bay
Rays (37-35, 16-19 away) @ New York Yankees (39-32, 20-14 home), Yankee
Stadium, New York, NY, Friday, June 21, 9.10am
After a
terrific start to the year, Matt Moore has come undone in the past fortnight
and we’re tipping he won’t get back on track as the Rays open a four-game
series against the Yankees. Moore (8-3, 4.12 ERA) opened 8-0 with a 2.18 ERA,
but he's been knocked around in losing each of his three starts this month. The
24-year-old left-hander, surrendering an AL-worst 4.72 walks per nine innings,
has allowed 20 runs, 26 hits and 11 free passes in 12 1/3 innings during his
skid. Moore saw his woes continue Friday in a 7-2 loss to Kansas City, yielding
five runs, seven hits and four walks over 5 1/3 innings.
The
Yankees (39-32) counter with Andy Pettitte (5-4, 3.95), who gave up four runs
and a season-high 11 hits in seven innings Friday in a 5-2 loss to the Los
Angeles Angels. The left-hander is 0-2 with a 7.71 ERA in his last four home
starts and also has struggled against the Rays lately, going 1/3 with a 5.04
ERA over a five-start stretch. Pettitte, who struck out a season-best 10 in six
innings during a 3-0 loss to Tampa Bay on April 24, is 12 strikeouts away from
tying Whitey Ford's franchise record of 1956. New York and Tampa Bay have split
six meetings this season – all at Tropicana Field. The Rays haven’t won any of
their last eight series in the Bronx.
Suggested
bet: Yankees WIN (1.5 units @ $1.93) LOSE, game total -8 (2.5 units @ $1.95) LOSE (8-3)
