Dellas Round Up: Rangers Still on Top | Offseason: Cowboys Mavs Stars
World Cup betting players in Dallas won’t find anyone from FC Dallas in the American team, but there is plenty of action in and around the city that it won’t be a big deal for most people.
The Rangers sit atop the AL West by two games over Oakland, but they didn’t have the best week, dropping two of three in Chicago against the Cubs in interleague play, and then they split a two-game set in Kansas City. However, the big news comes off the field, where the Rangers will be funded in the interim by Major League Baseball until the team’s bankruptcy case concludes. On the field, it doesn’t get any easier for the Rangers as they travel to Minnesota for a three-game set against the Central-leading Twins, then they head to Chicago again, this time to face the White Sox.
The Cowboys’ NFL betting odds will be based on their receivers’ ability to provide targets for Tony Romo, and Roy Williams is already hinting at a fierce competition in the group. However, the Cowboys took a step backwards as rookie Dez Bryant left OTAs (Organized Team Activities) with stomach problems, although he should be fine in the long term. Bryant has already battled a hip pointer, and his life in Dallas is off to a rocky start.
Dirk Nowitzki would obviously make Germany his World Cup Group D betting choice, but will he choose to stay with the only team he has ever played for? The former MVP surprisingly opted out of his contract for next season, making an already-historic free-agent class even better. The odds are very good that Nowitzki will stay in Dallas, and given his production, he’s earned the right to see what he can get on the market before a new CBA is installed. In other news, Mark Cuban was fined $100,000 for letting everyone in on the worst-kept secret in basketball: owners are interested in LeBron James.
The Stars are slated to pick 11th in the NHL draft, which will take place on June 25-26 in Los Angeles, and most seem to think that they’ll aim to take defenseman Derek Forbort, a massive player who laces them up for the US Developmental Team. Forbort is 6’4” and almost 200 pounds, but at 18 years old, he’s still has yet to fill out, really. The Stars weren’t a great defensive team last year, and they’ll be looking to shore up that part of the team first. If Forbort is gone, the play could be Nino Niederreiter, a Swiss winger who plays in Portland, or Stanislav Galiev, a Russian winger who skates for Moncton. But above all, the Stars are just looking for a small boost to their online betting odds for next season.
