Baseball Betting Lines

09/05/2008 - Atlanta, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Washington Nationals pitcher Shawn Hill underwent season-ending surgery on his right elbow Friday.

Dr. James Andrews performed the surgery on Friday and removed spurs in the posterior elbow.

Hill, who missed the entire 2005 campaign while recovering from reconstructive elbow surgery, is expected to be ready for the 2009 season. He had a record of 1-5 with a 5.83 earned run average in 12 starts this season.

The Nationals also announced first baseman Ronnie Belliard has a right groin strain, which could sideline him for the remainder of the season. Belliard suffered the injury in Thursday's 2-0 loss to the Atlanta Braves. He is hitting .287 with 11 homers and 46 RBI in 96 games this year.

Stanley Cup betting

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.

The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.

MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.

Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
