Myers opposes red-hot Hudson in the desert
Baseball Betting Lines
09/03/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Trade deadline pick-up Daniel Hudson can continue a
sterling National League debut tonight when the Arizona Diamondbacks host the
Houston Astros in the opener of a three-game series at Chase Field.
A 23-year-old from Lynchburg, Va., Hudson was acquired in a late July deal
that sent veteran pitcher Edwin Jackson to the Chicago White Sox. He's since
made six starts for Arizona, winning four times and allowing three runs or
less in each outing.
Hudson was on the mound for seven innings in his last outing on Aug. 28, when
he allowed four hits and two runs in the Diamondbacks' 11-3 win at San
Francisco. The Old Dominion University product has pitched at least seven in
each NL outing.
Overall with Arizona, Hudson has allowed just 30 hits and nine runs in 43 2/3
innings with 42 strikeouts. In three starts with Chicago before the trade,
he'd given up 17 hits and 11 runs in just 15 2/3 innings.
Hudson has never faced Houston.
For the Astros, super-consistent righty Brett Myers aims for a 28th straight
start in which he's pitched at least six innings. In his first year with
Houston, Myers has been a symbol of durability while notching 145 strikeouts
and allowing just 174 hits in 185 innings.
He's on pace to surpass 200 innings for the second time in his career and
first since 2005, when he logged 215 1/3 innings while going 13-8 with the
Philadelphia Phillies.
The former first-round draft pick (12th overall, 1999) won double-digit games
five times with the Phillies and reached that mark for Houston in his last
start when he allowed six hits in seven scoreless innings of a 4-1 win over
the New York Mets.
Myers, who is 4-7 on the road this year, got a no-decision against the
Diamondbacks in Houston on May 5, when he was touched for six hits and two
runs in seven innings of the Astros' 4-2 victory.
Lifetime against Arizona, he is 2-2 with a save in seven games with a 3.92
earned run average.
On Wednesday in Houston, Hunter Pence hit a three-run homer as part of a four-
run fifth inning, as the Astros completed a three-game sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals with a 5-2 win at Minute Maid Park.
Michael Bourn added a single, RBI and run scored for Houston, which has won
nine of its last 11. Carlos Lee chipped in with a sacrifice fly.
Nelson Figueroa (4-2) took the win after throwing five innings. The veteran
yielded two runs on six hits, walked three and struck out one. Brandon Lyon
worked a perfect ninth inning to record his 11th save of the season.
In Arizona, Brandon Allen belted his first career grand slam in the bottom of
the seventh inning, and the Diamondbacks beat San Diego, 5-2, to complete a
three-game sweep.
It was quite a 2010 debut for Allen, who was promoted from Triple-A Reno
earlier Wednesday, the first day major league rosters could be expanded.
Barry Enright (6-2) gave up two runs and nine hits over seven innings for
Arizona, which has won six of its last seven games. The rookie right-hander
has yet to allow more than three runs in any of his 12 starts.
Arizona is 3-1 against the Astros this season.

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.

American Idol odds : Blake Lewis the Early Standout
An important American Idol betting lines recap from February 20 Guys episode. The 12 men came out flat overall with Blake Lewis appearing to have the early edge after the first hour and a half.
Rudy - was quite good singing "Free Ride" to start off. Randy was not impressed though. Paula thought he started off fantastic. "Never had anyone stop off so lively" said Paula but Simon (who does not like Rudy) does not feel he has a distinct voice and was not impressed either.
Brandon was a little pitchy according to Randy and Paula agreed. Simon said he was a good singer but the song was "too safe" and he needs to make an impact. He was listed at +1200 odds or $1200 paid out on a $100 bet should he win the competition.
Big favorite Sundance came in with a flat version of "Knights in White Satin" and the judges let him have it, including Paula. Randy claimed the song was out of pitch throughout.
Korean American - and a Jenny Woo favorite - Paul Kim was up next. Another pitchy flat one but Randy said he still liked his potential. Kim at +3000 odds was said to have sung a "third rate version of that (George Michael) song" according to Simon Cowell. He sang "Careless Whisper".
22 year old Chris Richardson was up next. He was listed with +1100 odds coming in. He got the best response from the judges though Simon did not believe the vocal was that great.
Nick was boring and pitchy. Simon didn't think he was that bad though and predicted he would be back next week. Nick Pedro was a big +3000 dog coming into this competition.
Beat boxer Blake Lewis was listed with early +1000 odds or $1000 payout on a $100 bet if he were to become the next American Idol winner odds . These of course were the early odds. He was considered original for picking an "odd song". He did not beat box and the judges felt it was the best vocal of the night.
Sanjaya came in as the second biggest favorite after Chris Sligh but his performance Tuesday night was not very good.
Chris Sleigh was the early favorite at +450 odds. Great voice and a great sense of humor. He's a real standout. Randy felt it was on point but maybe ahead of the chorus a little bit. Simon Cowell said he felt like he was in some "sort of weird student gig".
Jared Cotter followed. He was listed with +2000 odds early on to win the competition. The judges felt he needs to take more risks but looked good.
22-year old AJ Talbado, who has tried out for American Idol five times, was up next. "Kind of a theme park performance" said Simon. Though the judges felt he performed okay. Simon did feel AJ might be better than he originally thought.
Phil - this season's military favorite - came into this competition with +1200 odds to win the competition. He was the last to perform. He was certainly strong enough to get through this stage of the competition and perhaps the best one after a shaky start.
Tomorrow night, the ladies perform and I sure hope they do a better job than the boys. Check out all the American Idol betting odds here.
