NFL betting online is quiet right now as teams are finalizing rosters, but that doesn’t mean there’s no action in your sportsbook, even if there isn’t a lot of action right now.  The All-Star game for Major League Baseball’s best will take place this week.  Also on Wednesday night/Thursday morning, Tiger Woods will try to break out of his slump and win the British Open for the third time in a row at the “home of golf”.

MLB Betting

MLB All-Star Betting (Tuesday, 8:00 PM ET) has the American League as a -120 favorite in the 81^st Midsummer Classic, and not only are the home team as the game will be hosted by the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim, but they’ve also won 13 and tied one of the last 14 All-Star games, the longest unbeaten streak in this series.  The National League starter will be Colorado’s Ubaldo Jimenez, who is 15-1 with a 2.20 ERA and has tossed a no-hitter this season, so there was no way that anyone else could be the starter in Jimenez’s All-Star debut.  There will be another All-Star rookie on the mound for the American League as Tampa Bay’s David Price will get the call, and college football betting players would compare this to a Heisman winner getting an All-Star nod (Price was the No.1 pick of the 2007 draft).  Price is 12-4, and his 2.42 ERA leads the American League.

British Open Betting

Tiger Woods is the British Open betting favorite at the 139^th edition of the Open Championship (as they call it outside of North America), and at St. Andrews, no matter how badly he is playing, Woods is going to be considered.  Woods has won the last two British Opens at St. Andrews, and his -19 romp in 2000 is still the best score ever in a major championship.  Woods will have a lot of competition, such as Englishman Justin Rose, who has won two of his last three starts on the PGA Tour.  Ireland’s Padraig Harrington won the British Open in 2008 and 2009.  Northern Ireland has a capable duo in 21-year-old Rory McIlroy, who was picked by Woods to win this week, and he already has his first PGA Tour win.  McIlroy is also the pick of his countryman Graeme McDowell, but McDowell could be in the running as well as he is coming off a nervy and gutsy win at the US Open at Pebble Beach.  Remember to check out the tee times, as the time change means that the first group will tee off at 1:30 AM ET Wednesday night/Thursday morning.  Therefore, make sure you have your online sports bet in before hitting the hay.
