Joe Biden Crisis

  • Joe Biden Thursday press conference drew over 24 million viewers, which was pretty astonishing all things considered.
  • Maybe not so astonishing considering it was the only game in town, so to speak.  The president’s first press conference this year was broadcast on eight different TV news networks.
  • Biden's odds were improved once again Friday night to +475 at BetOnline, though VP Kamala Harris' odds were slightly shorter at +375 and Donald Trump favored at the same price as earlier, -170.
  • A majority of the viewership was in the 55+ age range, where 19.2 million viewers watched the event live and heard Biden refer to Harris as "Vice President Trump". 
  • Meanwhile, Trump may have his own problems as the controversial "Project 2025" becomes more searched than "Taylor Swift".
  • Trump has stated he is not familiar with "Project 2025" even though a few of his policy advisers are behind it.
  • At its heart, Project 2025 is a series of detailed policy proposals contained in approximately 900 pages and put together by hundreds of high-profile conservatives that the project's participants hope Trump adopts if elected.
  • Among other things, Project 2025 proposes enforcing laws that make it illegal to mail abortion pills over state lines, criminalizing pornography and eliminating the Department of Education.

 

Hot Takes

  • Poker player Sean Perry, accused of being a scammer, threatens to expose Jason Mercier "for all the crooked shit you are capable of doing you scum".
  • A New Jersey Assemblyman has introduced a constitutional amendment to allow sports bets on in-state colleges by 2026.
  • Tracy Cortez had to cut her hair to make weight! Cortez missed weight by 0.5 pounds in the first attempt.
  • Biden 50%, Trump 48% in latest NPR poll.
  • Adam Rude (@realadamrude) suffered an apparent heart attack before Day 5 of the @WSOP Main Event and still made it to play before the first break.
  • Vegas stripper, 47, 'tricked lonely tycoon into thinking he was her only boyfriend while conning him out of millions'

These Hot MLB Betting Trends Are Through Sunday July 14

Dodgers @ Tigers - The Dodgers have lost seven of their last ten games, including four straight heading into Friday.  This is mostly due to injuries among their starting pitchers.  Detroit has won seven of their last ten games.  Tarik Skubal has been terrific all season for the Tigers and set a career-high in whiffs in his last start against the Reds.  He was the scheduled starter on Friday.

Guardians @ Rays - Cleveland is 7-3 in this series and have won half of their last ten overall.  Tampa also won half their last ten games.  For Friday's matchup, Tampa's Taj Bradley has a 1.76 ERA at home and has held six straight foes below three runs. Carlos Carrasco has a 5.68 road ERA.  

Yankees @ Orioles - Baltimore is 6-2 in the last eight of this series. New York continues to struggle, winning just three of their last ten games while Baltimore has won just four.

Royals @ Red Sox - The Red Sox are playing especially well of late as the Royals have taken a bit of a step back in recent weeks. Boston is 6-2 in the series. 

Rangers @ Astros - Houston is 4-1 in the series in the last five meetings. Both teams have had a spark of late following sluggish starts. Yordan Alvarez is 9 for 19 against Friday's starter for Texas, Andrew Heaney.  Jose Altuve is .326 with two home runs against him.  Heaney threw 5 1/3 scoreless innings and got a no-decision in the Rangers’ 4-3 victory over the Rays on Saturday and had a win prior to that. Hunter Brown has also had his troubles against these Rangers. Brown allowed seven runs with five strikeouts over six innings in a loss to the Twins on Saturday but was near perfect in his prior start.
