Top 2024 Paris Olympics picks for July 28

Tierney is backing China's Qin Haiyang (+160) instead of the favorite in Adam Peaty in the men's 100-meter breaststroke. The expert decided to roll with Haiyang as he was dominant at last year's World Championships. He also notes how close Haiyang was to breaking Peaty's world records even though many other swimmers weren't present.

"Granted, he holds the last two Olympic golds in the event but has since been sidetracked by ailments. Qin flirted with Peaty's world mark at last year's World Championships," Tierney told Sportsline. "Qin swept the three breaststroke events at the Worlds." See the rest of his picks here .
