Meanwhile, there is a full day of basketball and the final tournament before the U.S. Open tees off in Tennessee.

NBA Odds

Heat Celtics Odds (8:30 PM ET): Those that work with a service may want to watch the line for this game as the Celtics are two-point underdogs at home, despite having a 3-2 lead in the East finals and are coming off a big road win in Miami.

MLB Betting

Dodgers Phillies Odds (1:05 PM ET): The baseball action kicks off in Philadelphia, where Cole Hamels will welcome Aaron Harang and the Los Angeles Dodgers for the finale of a four-game set. The Dodgers have won the first two games of the series, so a road sweep could be on the table.

Cubs Brewers Odds (2:10 PM ET): Chicago’s Matt Garza has been the subject of trade talks recently, and he’ll head to the mount to face Randy Wolf and Milwaukee in a National League Central matchup.

Rangers Athletics Odds (3:35 PM ET): A of Yu Darvish’s start to his major-league career would give the Japanese hurler a thumbs up over his first 11 starts, and he’ll get the ball on Thursday afternoon against the Athletics and Brandon McCarthy, who is quietly putting up quality numbers of his own.

Rays Yankees Odds (7:05 PM ET): The pitching matchup of the day goes to this American League East clash as power lefties C.C. Sabathia and David Price go head-to-head for New York and Tampa Bay, respectively.

Orioles Red Sox Odds (7:10 PM ET): This contest also comes from the East as Brian Matusz leads Baltimore out at Fenway Park to face Clay Buchholz and Boston.

Defending U.S. Open champ Rory McIlroy has missed three straight cuts heading into Memphis, and he’ll tee off with fellow Northern Irishman Graeme McDowell and Padraig Harrington of Ireland in a threesome of former major winners at 8:27 AM ET. Dustin Johnson is in the next group with defending St. Jude’s champion Harrison Frazar at Justin Leonard, who won here in 2005 and 2008 at 8:36 AM ET.
