⚽ Pulisic Watch Begins
Team USA returns to the World Cup spotlight today.
Whether Christian Pulisic joins them remains uncertain.
U.S. coach Mauricio Pochettino said Thursday that Pulisic (left calf) is considered questionable against Australia, while also making it clear he would be available for the third group-stage match.
Translation: If Pochettino thinks the U.S. can beat Australia without him, he’ll likely sit.
Today’s matches:
Group D
USA (-167) vs. Australia (+422), 3 ET (Draw: +344)
Turkey (+102) vs. Paraguay (+296), 11 ET (Draw: +240)
Group C
Scotland (+425) vs. Morocco (-139), 6 ET (Draw: +270)
Brazil (-1075) vs. Haiti (+2100), 8:30 ET (Draw: +1125)
Luke DiVasta focuses on the Total in USA-Australia.
“The U.S. should get on the board early, which will force Australia to open up — something they may be willing to do with three points already in the bag. The biggest vulnerability for the U.S. remains its goalkeeping and back line, which can be exposed.”

Turkey and Paraguay are both 0-1, but Alex Blowers believes one side played much better than the result indicated.
“I’m not ready to give up on this Turkey squad after one result. I was high on them coming into this tournament and I’m high on them Friday night.”

⛳ Surviving Shinnecock
Because of a two-hour fog delay at Shinnecock Hills, 53 golfers — including first-round leader Wyndham Clark (-6) — were unable to complete their opening rounds Thursday before darkness halted play.
They’ll be back on the course at 6:35 a.m. ET.
Long Shots host Kelley Bydlon wasn’t thrilled with Thursday’s developments.
“My betting card is hurting already and to make matters worse, Wyndham Clark was the last guy I left off.”

⚾ Greg’s Best Bets
One of Greg Peterson’s favorite plays on Friday’s card comes under the lights in Los Angeles.
Greg likes the Dodgers on the run line against Baltimore, citing improved recent form from Roki Sasaki and an Orioles lineup averaging just 4.2 runs per game on the road.
He also notes that Baltimore starter Trey Gibson owns a 5.91 ERA while struggling to miss bats and limit walks.
