In what could be a playoff preview for this upcoming October, the Philadelphia Phillies and Cincinnati Reds will do battle in Thursday night’s baseball betting odds. Who should be your pick?

Considering the talent between Spain and the Netherlands, there will likely be a few goals on the board by the end of Sunday. But who will be the first goal scorer on 2010 World Cup Final props?

Not surprisingly, David Villa sits atop the odds at Bodog at 10/3. Villa has been a terror for opposing teams and he’s been the backbone of the Spanish offense. To be honest, most observers were probably surprised when Villa didn’t notch Spain’s lone goal against Germany (defender Carles Poyol scored on a header during a corner kick).

Wesley Sneijder is getting 9/1 odds to score first for the Dutch, and with good reason. Sneijder has been the team’s best player throughout the tournament and is tied with Villa as the team’s leading scorer (five goals).

2010 World Cup Final props are in, and it should be one of the more exciting finals in years. So, when Spain and the Netherlands hook up on Sunday, what will be the correct score at the end of the day?

Spain has been spectacular defensively, allowing just two goals throughout the entire tournament. Offense has been much harder to come by, though, as the Spaniards have managed only one goal.

The Netherlands, on the other hand, have scored at least two goals in all but one of their games so far. They have a variety of weapons and will be tough to corral.

If Spain continues its fantastic run, a 1-0 victory (5/1 odds) is most likely; that’s been the score of their last three wins. If the Netherlands come out on top, a 2-1 win (12/1) will probably do it—the Dutch can score, but they’ll make a few mistakes as well.
