There are 57 different events in all that take place at the event, but the one that matters more than any others is The Main Event. The Super Bowl of poker crowns the world champion each year, and the winner becomes both very famous and very rich. Last year 6,494 players each paid $10,000 to play in the event, and we should see about that many again this year.

The Angels look to avoid being swept at home for the first time in 77 series tonight in front of a national audience.
Kansas City Royals at Los Angeles Angels
Kansas City was led by pitcher Bruce Chen starting Saturday’s game with six perfect innings before eventually picking up a 4-2 road victory against the Los Angeles Angels. “I’ll have to get my dictionary out to find a better word than awesome, great, fantastic,” manager Ned Yost said about the start. The Royals have reached the halfway point of the season, going 36-45 through 81 games, after going 35-46 at this point of the year in 2009. Last night’s victory also gave the Royals three straight series victories over the St. Louis Cardinals, Chicago White Sox and Angels. The Royals are going for their first three-game series sweep of the season.

The Rockies are a difficult team to deal with at home especially during the month of July.
San Francisco Giants at Colorado Rockies
San Francisco earned an 11-8 come-from-behind victory last night over Colorado ace Ubaldo Jimenez at Coors Field. The club has still lost nine of their last 11 games, but finally broke over the three-run barrier. During the team’s seven-game losing streak, the offense failed to score more than three runs over that span. “After losing so many in a row, we weren’t going to roll over and die,” said outfielder Nate Schierholtz. Closer Brian Wilson continues to shut the door when given the opportunity, picking up his 22nd save of the season last night. The Giants stand at an even 15-15 during the day this season (-260), with the total going 11-16-3 (O/U) in those contests. The offense is batting .251 in the afternoon in 2010, while combining to hit just .225 over the past seven games.

The Cardinals might be the best bet on the entire board with America celebrating its Independence Day.
Milwaukee Brewers at St. Louis Cardinals
Milwaukee put its second-ranked offense on display on Saturday, racking up 19 hits and 12 runs in a blowout win over the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium. The run total was the most the Brewers’ offense has tallied since June 14. “Days like this are few and far between for a pitcher of his caliber,” said All-Star outfielder Ryan Braun about putting up such a total against Cardinals ace Chris Carpenter. The Brewers added two home runs to its NL-leading total of 101, which is third in the majors behind Toronto and Boston. The Brewers are now 20-22 on the road (+200) and have gone 4-8-1 in series play away from Miller Park. Milwaukee’s offense has been sparked from the top this season, with Rickie Weeks ranking tops in the majors in home runs (14) and RBI (49) for a leadoff batter.

The Bronx Bombers have been known to dominate opponents on Sundays at Yankee Stadium.
Toronto Blue Jays at New York Yankees
Toronto suffered one of its worst defeats of the year on Saturday afternoon, giving up an 11-run third inning to ultimately fall 11-3 at Yankee Stadium. The 11 runs for the Yankees equaled a franchise-record for the most runs the Blue Jays have surrendered in a single inning. “Everything happened in that inning that you could imagine,” manager Cito Gaston said. Overall, the Jays have won six of their last 10 contests against the Yankees. Toronto is now 8-12 at Yankee Stadium dating back to the 2008 season, with an even 4-4 mark the last eight meetings. The team’s current road trip has been a forgettable one, being outscored 49-23 in nine games. Toronto has lost both games as a road underdog of +175 to +200 in 2010, while posting a 3-11 record in this spot the past three years (-530).

The Giants are hoping starting pitcher Barry Zito’s success against tonight’s opponent will ultimately snap their losing streak.
San Francisco Giants at Colorado Rockies
San Francisco lost its seventh straight game in dropping a 6-3 contest to the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. The offense is much to blame during the streak, failing to score more than three runs in any contest over that span. The Giants have now lost nine of their last 10 games and 11 of their previous 14. Facing division foes will not make turning things around any easier, with the team going 8-19 against the NL West division this season (-1,500). That mark gets even worse with the team being 2-10 on the road against divisional opponents. The team has produced a dismal 3-7 record in games after three or more consecutive losses (-460).

The pressure is squarely placed on the Nationals offense with their young superstar on the hill.
New York Mets at Washington Nationals
New York has won two of its last three games, including a 5-3 victory on Friday night. The Mets are 25-12 in their last 37 contests dating back to May 22, which is the second-best mark in the majors over that span (Boston). Overall, the Mets are 17-23 (-410) on the road, but they have won two of three games away from Citi Field. New York has scored at least one run in the first inning in its last four games, producing a 37-14 mark when scoring first. The offense has been led by 3B David Wright’s NL-leading 63 RBI, which ranks third in the majors. The Mets have not dropped a season series to the Nationals/Expos franchise since 2003.
