It&#8217;s pretty amazing that he has six wins in what many are calling an off year for him simply because he didn&#8217;t win a major. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.freesportsbetting.org\/\" title=\"sports picks\">Sports picks<\/a> don&#8217;t come safer than him this week; when a guy fresh off a win plays at a course on which he won two years ago and leads the Tour in scoring average and par breakers, you bet on him. <o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p class=MsoBodyText><b><font size=3 face=\"Times New Roman\"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-weight:bold'>Padraig Harrington <\/span><\/font><\/b><o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p class=MsoBodyText><font size=3 face=\"Times New Roman\"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Tour Championship odds: +1415 <o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p class=MsoBodyText><font size=3 face=\"Times New Roman\"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Maybe 2009 isn&#8217;t a total write-off for Harrington after all. He finished 15 straight tournaments outside the top 10 to start the year only to heat up at crunch time; he has five straight top-10 finishes now. With his swing fixed and his scrambling helping him stay consistent, he&#8217;ll probably contend again. However, he still has to conquer his bizarre Sunday hiccups. <o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p class=MsoBodyText><b><font size=3 face=\"Times New Roman\"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-weight:bold'>Sean <span class=SpellE>O&#8217;Hair<\/span> <\/span><\/font><\/b><o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p class=MsoBodyText><font size=3 face=\"Times New Roman\"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Tour Championship odds: +2050 <o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p class=MsoBodyText><font size=3 face=\"Times New Roman\"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Hardly a household name, <span class=SpellE>O&#8217;Hair<\/span> is a guy to remember this week. He&#8217;s shown he can hang with the big boys in the FedEx Cup, posting consecutive top-10s. The host course, <\/span><\/font><st1:place><st1:PlaceName>East<\/st1:PlaceName>  <st1:PlaceType>Lake<\/st1:PlaceType><\/st1:place>, has thick rough, so accurate ball strikers should fare well. <span class=SpellE>O&#8217;Hair<\/span> is no exception; he hit 32 straight greens during one hot stretch this year. <o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p class=MsoBodyText><b><font size=3 face=\"Times New Roman\"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-weight:bold'>Mike Weir <\/span><\/font><\/b><o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p class=MsoBodyText><font size=3 face=\"Times New Roman\"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Tour Championship odds: +5250 <o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p class=MsoBodyText><font size=3 face=\"Times New Roman\"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Weir may be the best sleeper pick this week since he can match <span class=SpellE>O&#8217;Hair&#8217;s<\/span> accuracy yet offers much better sportsbook value. He finished sixth at <\/span><\/font><st1:place><st1:PlaceName>East<\/st1:PlaceName>  <st1:PlaceType>Lake<\/st1:PlaceType><\/st1:place> last year, so seeing him contend again wouldn&#8217;t be a huge surprise. <o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p class=MsoBodyText><font size=3 face=\"Times New Roman\"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><a href=\"http:\/\/payperhead.com\/\" title=\"Betting services\">Betting services<\/a> recommend: Tiger Woods +125 <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><a\nhref=\"http:\/\/www.offshoreinsiders.com\/\"><b style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'>OffshoreInsiders.com<\/b><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, online sports betting fans, it&#8217;s almost time to say goodbye to meaningful golf in 2009.
