The Seattle Storm is coming of a win on the 24th against the Minnesota Lynx with a score of 65-55 at home and the game before that they beat Tulsa in Oklahoma with a final score of 82-77 which to be honest was not that impressive at all considering that Tulsa can`t seem to beat anyone, but that is a whole different story, the Storm is riding high on confidence and look to continue the good play come Friday when they face the Connecticut Sun in the Mohegan Sun Arena.

The Colorado Rockies will try to make it two straight over the Chicago White Sox when the two teams meet this evening at Coors Field. Colorado snapped their three-game losing streak with a 3-2, 13-inning win over the White Sox on Tuesday. They last met in Coors Field in 2005, when Chicago swept Colorado. The Rockies are 20-19 at home, while the White Sox are 19-22 on the road. YouWager bettors should look for Colorado to win the game behind a strong start from Ubaldo Jimenez.
Left-hander Mark Buehrle (6-5, 3.73 ERA, 99 IP) will start for the Red Sox as he looks to continue his success in interleague play.

Boston (45-32) at Philadelphia (49-30), 7:05 p.m. EDT
The Philadelphia Phillies might be playing well enough to end their recent home struggles against the Boston Red Sox.
After Cliff Lee was dominant in the opener, rookie Vance Worley looks to help the Phillies secure their first winning home series against the Red Sox since 2003 on Wednesday night.
Since 2005, Boston has won five consecutive series in Philadelphia, including each of the last three seasons. However, the Red Sox (45-33) fell for just the fifth time in 16 games there after Lee held them to two hits in a 5-0 loss Tuesday.
The Phillies (50-30) have not won a home series from Boston since 2003.
“That’s an unbelievable offense over there,” Lee told the Red Sox official website.

Whilst the English batch of youths may have listlessly limped to defeat to an average Czech Republic side, the same can not be said of a resurgent Spanish side. The young Spaniards now face Belarus in their Semi-Final and look likely to progress.
Spain, despite having two previous U21 European Championships and two Runners-Up slots to their name, have not reached the final since 1998. However, with Barcelona on top of world football, the tide appears to be changing for ‘Los Niños’, the Under 21 national side.
They are clear favourites to go on to win the competition and it would take an unexpected performance from the Belarusian underdogs for the Spanish dreams to falter at this stage. But

AMERICAN LEAGUE
There was very little change in the American League this week with all of the action happening against the National League. The only team to have a significant change in its playoff prospects was Tampa Bay. The Rays took advantage of interleague play winning five of six games to improve 11.2 percentage points in AccuScore’s projected playoff standings. They are still on the outside looking-in competing in the AL East, but they did gain ground on both the Yankees and Red Sox.
The Angels were the only other team besides Tampa to jump up even a couple percentage points. Anaheim gained 5.1 percentage points in playoff probability, the exact same amount that Seattle fell by this week. The Mariners lost two games in the real standings to the Angels, and most likely their offense as currently constructed will hold them back from competing in the AL West. They do have several completely empty spots in their lineup so a good trade could make a big difference for Seattle to keep them in the race.
The Tigers continue to be the big favorite winning the Central in 79.4 percent of simulations. Many experts continue to believe in the White Sox, but Chicago is predicted to win the division just 2.2 percent of the time. The Indians are still the second forecasted choice, but they keep on sliding back to reality after another poor week (1-5 record).

A week after suffering a dramatic fall of 30 percentage points, Atlanta bounced back in the projected standings. The Brave
