Rory McIlory has won each of the last two majors heading into this week's Masters. Jordan Spieth is the hottest player on tour and almost arrived at Augusta National fresh off a victory at the Shell Houston Open. Spieth ended up losing in a playoff, but his odds to don the green jacket improved to the extent that he is now a co-favorite along with McIlroy.

The Masters

Rory McIlroy (+800) - McIlory has never won the Masters, but he obviously has plenty of experience lifting major trophies. The world No. 1 has finished in the Top 10 in three of the last four majors, including a T8 in Augusta and consecutive triumphs at the British Open and PGA Championship. He was mediocre in March, with a T9 at Doral and T11 at Bay Hill.

Jordan Spieth (+800 ) - Aside from the fact that he has never won a major, there is nothing to dislike about Spieth's chances going into this week. The 21-year-old finished tied for second at last year's Masters following a front-nine duel with eventual champion Bubba Watson. Spieth's three results since the start of March feature a win (Valspar Championship) and two runner-ups.

Bubba Watson (+1000 ) - It does not really matter how Bubba is playing going into the Masters, because the course is tailor-made for his powerful, left-handed game. He is looking to become the second man (Jack Nicklaus) to pick up three green jackets in a four-year span. The fact that Bubba is playing well is a bonus. He owns four Top-10s and one win in six events this season.

Dustin Johnson (+1200) - The Masters has been Johnson's worst of the four majors. But he seems to be a new man after taking off most of last season. His big-hitting game, fortunately, appears to still be the same. Since returning for the 2015 campaign, Johnson has a win (Doral), a runner-up (Riviera), and two other Top-10 performances. Jason Day is also +1200.

World Series

Washington Nationals (+600) - Will this finally be the year Washington does something in the playoffs-you know, like win it all? They have won the National League East twice in the last three seasons but have lost in the NLDS on both of those occasions. Max Scherzer has been brought in to lead a starting rotation that could be the best in the bigs.

Los Angeles Dodgers (+800) - Dodgers' ace Clayton Kershaw gave up three runs in six innings on Monday, but no sport is a marathon more than a sprint quite like Major League Baseball (L.A. also won that game against new-look San Diego 6-3). Zack Greinke is still part of what should be an outstanding staff.

St. Louis Cardinals (+900) - To say St. Louis is an experienced ballclub would be an understatement. The Cardinals have been to four consecutive National League Championship Series and have won two World Series since 2006. They upgraded the offense with Jason Heyward, who had hits in his first three at-bats in a 3-0 win over the Cubs on Sunday night.

Boston Red Sox (+1400) - And then there was finally an American League contender. While the NL looks positively loaded, the AL appears to be deep but not necessarily top-heavy. The Red Sox went 71-91 last year, but the 2013 World Series champions may be restored by a spending spree that included Hanley Ramirez and Pablo Sandoval.

Champions League

Bayern Munich (+162) - The UEFA Champions League heats back up next week with semifinal action. Bayern, which last won it all in 2013, has a favorable draw on its hands against FC Porto. Porto has the longest winning odds among the eight remaining clubs along with AS Monaco at +6600.

FC Barcelona (+275) - Barcelona's two-leg quarterfinal showdown will come against Paris Saint-Germain, which is a +1800 sixth choice to win the UCL title. With Neymar and Lionel Messi on the roster, Barca is always going to be a tough out. It did not have much trouble with Manchester City in the previous round.

Real Madrid (+400) - Real is the all-time leader in Champions League titles with 10-most recently last year. Up next is an in-city battle against Atletico Madrid, which is +1600 to lift the trophy. Real's last outing was a 9-1 La Liga rout of Granada, which saw Cristiano Ronaldo score five times.

Juventus (+800) - Don't sleep on Juventus, which seemingly has a favorable quarterfinal matchup with AS Monaco. Juventus has won the league twice (not since 1996) and has finished runner-up on five occasions (most recently in 2003). The club rolled past Borussia Dortmund 5-1 on aggregate in the previous round.

Duck Commander 500

Kevin Harvick (+400 ) - Harvick's ridiculous streak of five consecutive Top-2 finishes came to an end two weeks ago in Martinsville, but he still finished eighth to maintain momentum prior to a one-week Sprint Cup hiatus for Easter. The most consistent driver in the sport has two wins and three runner-ups this season.

Jimmie Johnson (+600 ) - Johnson is looking to bounce back from a 35^th-place performance in Martinsville. Thus continued an up-and-down year for the No. 48 Chevrolet, which has only one Top 10 since winning in Atlanta on March 1. Johnson finished 34^th in Las Vegas and 11^th in Phoenix.

Kurt Busch (+6 00) - Busch made a late start to the 2015 campaign following some well-documented off-the-track issues. But he has wasted no time getting back in gear. Prior to a 14^th in Martinsville, the No. 41 ran fifth in Phoenix and third in California-where it started on the pole.

Brad Keselowski (+1000 ) - Since opening the season with a disappointing 41^st at the Daytona 500, Keselowski has turned in five straight Top-10 performances. He finished second in Martinsville two weeks ago, seven days after taking the checkered flag home from California. Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Gordon, Joey Logano, and Matt Kenseth are also +1000.
