Former WNBA star and Basketball Hall of Famer Lisa Leslie said it best: Goals are gold.

Leslie posted on X (formerly Twitter) after the United States came back from 13 points down in the fourth quarter to defeat Serbia in the men's basketball semifinals at the Paris Olympics on Thursday.

Now Team USA will compete for its 17th gold medal in franchise history on Saturday, giving us another chance to bet on Stephen Curry, LeBron James and other star-studded players.

Without neglecting all baseball, here are three options to get your weekend started:

Team USA in Olympic gold medal game in France

We've seen this before.

The United States and France met in the gold medal game at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics (held in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic), with the United States winning 87-82.

This is the third time the United States and France have met in the Olympic finals, but we'll ignore the other two, considering one was in 2000 and the other (1948) was shortly after the end of World War II.

While the U.S. had the best point differential of any team in the group stage (+64) and beat Brazil in the quarterfinals, they had a tough game against Serbia before Curry and James came to the rescue. He was really struggling.

All signs point to Team USA taking the title, but with home-field advantage and the potential for their first Olympic gold medal, France should at least be able to prevent a blowout.

Pick: French Spread +16, -108 (FanDuel)

Los Angeles Angels vs. Washington Nationals

Only six pitchers in the majors have allowed more home runs this season than Los Angeles right-hander Griffin Canning.

So, who's cleaning the walls in Washington on Saturday?

Let's go with CJ Abrams.

Fourteen of Abrams' 17 home runs this year have come against right-handers, while 12 of the long balls Canning has allowed have come against left-handed hitters like Abrams.

Back spasms keep Abrams out of Friday's gameso expect him to come back with revenge on Saturday. He is currently listed as day to day.

Pick: C.J. Abrams hits home run, +390 (DraftKings)

Atlanta Braves vs. Colorado Rockies

Atlanta has definitely returned to reality since winning the World Series three years ago, to say the least.

The Braves were eliminated from the National League Division Series two consecutive seasons, losing 3-1 each time. Now they find themselves with a 60-55 record, third in the NFC East and having lost six straight games.

But if any pitcher can break the mold, it's Colorado right-hander Dakota Hudson.

Hudson came under fire in his first season with the Rockies, posting a 5.84 ERA. Although he hasn't played since Colorado was demoted to Triple-A Albuquerque on July 3, he is still tied for the major league lead with 12 losses.

Feel free to take the Atlanta moneyline here, but we choose to take the juicer odds.

Pick: Warriors Spread -1.5, -128 (FanDuel)
