Updates to Sports Stories from Earlier This Week

tang — Sun, 30 Jan 2011 23:32:13 +0000

There are a few updates to articles we posted earlier this week. A couple of them involve the upcoming Super Bowl, with injury drama from both the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers. Another story involves the partial sale of the New York Mets due to fallout from the owners’ involvement with Bernie Madoff. And the final update is related to Memphis Grizzlies guard O.J. Mayo.

First of all, the news from the Pittsburgh Steelers is that their rookie center Maurkice Pouncey will not be playing in the Super Bowl game next weekend. He had been questionable but mostly out of the game due to an ankle injury he sustained during the AFC championship game against the New York Jets. Now it is known that Pouncey has a fractured ankle, as well as a high ankle sprain, which will keep him out of the big game.

Packers betting

Moving on to the Green Bay Packers, everyone remembers the side show with the injured reserve players not being in the Super Bowl team picture. Everything seemed to be ironed out when the photo was rescheduled to include all the players. But then quarterback Aaron Rodgers made some controversial statements to the press about the injured players choice of rehab locations. Linebacker Nick Barnett seemed a bit offended. Now it is reported that Rodgers called Barnett to clear the air, and now everything seems to be better between the two.

In baseball news, the New York Mets’ owners may put a portion of the team for sale. Martin Luther King III has expressed interested in buying a share of the team. He is part of a group of interested parties who may want to purchase partial ownership of the Mets from Fred Wilpon and his son Jeff Wilpon. The Wilpons have been considering offering 20-25% of the team for sale, and King has expressed interest in being a 50% owner. So obviously, some details need to be ironed out.

Super Bowl odds

Finally, after O.J. Mayo of the Memphis Grizzlies tested positive for DHEA, a steroid banned by the NBA, he was suspended for 10 games. Mayo now states that he picked up an energy drink from a local gas station, which caused him to test positive for the substance. Unfortunately, Mayo’s third season in the NBA has been filled with drama and controversy. He has lost his starting position, gotten into a fight with a teammate over a card game, and his father was charged with attempted murder this past December. The suspension is only the latest problem for him.

Down to Final 16 Teams in Sportsbook Probabilities

The College World Series is down to the final 16 teams with probabilities available on the super regionals at the sports book.

The majority of the top seeds still remain so the probabilities at the Internet sports book ought to be competitive as 8 teams try and move forward to the College World Series.

Thirteen of the 16 top seeds made it to the super regionals. Actually, there have been no shocks as each of the seeds leftover are either number 1 or number 2s. The greater seeded team’s home fstadium hosts the super regionals in a best-of-3. Arizona State is among the favorites to win the title. Among the 8 super regional matchups, they will be hosting Arkansas. Arizona State was 34-3 at home this year so Arkansas is probably in danger, specifically if Zack Cox is not healthy.

Texas hosts TCU in another of the regions and this matchup ought to be amazing. TCU has superb starting pitching plus they were 24-7 on the road this year. Texas has also amazing pitching plus they can hit home runs as they set a school-record with 79 this year. Since Miami had to use top pitcher Chris Hernandez on Tuesday, Florida likely will do well when they host Miami. They also do not have Eric Erickson at top form. Florida was 31-3 at home this year.

Coastal Carolina is going to be looking to make their 1st trip to the College World Series. They will host South Carolina at the regional. This will be a fascinating matchup to see if Coastal Carolina will take a step up in class. South Carolina has a healthy offense that can give Coastal Carolina difficulty.

Virginia hosts Oklahoma and they’re liked to move forward since they went 33-5 this year at home. They have Danny Hultzen who’s 10-1 this year and they have a pretty healthy starting lineup. Oklahoma wins with ability as they hit 93 home runs this year. The problem for the Sooners is that Virginia’s Davenport Field is not a home run hitting field. UCLA hosts Cal State Fullerton and it ought to be a fascinating series. UCLA has a dominating pitching staff that ought to make the difference, despite the fact that Fullerton was 18-6 on the road this year.

The top matchup in the super regionals has Florida State hosting Vanderbilt. Florida State only barely defeated Vandy for a number 1 seed.

Clemson and Alabama are # two seeds and one of them will be moving on with Clemson having the home field advantage. Look for a number of runs to be obtained, since both of these teams can hit but do not have formidable pitching staffs.

The College World Series will probably be held from June 19th to the 29th with a match on the 30th if required. Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, Nebraska, is going to be the site of the event. They have hosted the College World Series since 1950. Even so this will be the last year for this stadium. It’s the 61st to be hosted in Rosenblatt Stadium, and the 64th College World Series in general.

Florida Competes in Friday MLB Wagering

writer — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 21:35:36 +0000

Interleague event is on the MLB gambling board again with the battle in Florida as the Marlins encounter the Tampa Bay Rays.

In the starter of a three-game series on Friday, the Tampa Bay Rays will be liked in baseball gambling at home.

Both the Tampa Bay Rays and the Marlins go into Friday’s Interleague series above .500 for the second time in 11 years, and in division contention of their respective leagues.

MLB gambling probabilities like Tampa Bay on Friday with James Shields pitching. Shields is 5-4 having a 3.64 ERA this year. He is opposed by Florida’s Nate Robertson who’s 4-5 on the season having a 4.83 ERA and expected to get the start on Friday. Robertson did not pitch well last time out because he gave up 6 runs in a loss to the Mets. He hasn’t pitched well versus Tampa Bay in his career as he’s -4 having a 4.76 ERA. He is -2 in his career at Tropicana Field having a 4.63 ERA.

Past time out versus Texas, Shields lost his fourth game of the season. Just 3 of the 6 runs that he gave up were earned. In 6 career starts versus the Marlins, Shields is 2-1 having a 4.12 ERA. With a 26-16 record and a 3.44 ERA, Shields is very excellent at home in his career.

The Tampa Bay Rays have really done fine versus the Marlins in MLB gambling. They have won eight of the last ten games versus Florida. Versus the Marlins last year, the Tampa Bay Rays took five of the 6 games including all 3 in Tampa Bay. Two of those 3 games went under the total.

Florida hasn’t really competed that good on the road this year. They just don’t hit as well on the road and their pitching is not as excellent. Thus far this season they have performed poorly, however Florida has the ability to win games on the road. They’re only average in hitting, rating 14th in the league plus they’re no better in pitching at 16th in the league.

Tampa Bay has actually been much better on the road this year than at home. The Tampa Bay Rays still have a great record at home however in baseball gambling. The Tampa Bay Rays are in the Top five in the league in both hitting and in earned run average. They have the top record in the league for that reason. The Tampa Bay Rays have a lineup loaded with ability, and they have among the best starting rotations in the league.

An all-Florida matchup drew very little interest in previous years beyond the 2 local markets. But with 2 of the Major’s most youthful, talent-laden teams facing off, the series could commence to heat up.

Joe Maddon, the Rays’ manager, said that everybody was trying to turn this into a rivalry.”They’ve been better than we have in the past. They’ve already run their flag up. As we get better, I think at some point, where both teams are playing at a high level, I think you can grow it into one of those.”

Braves at Diamondbacks Baseball in MLB Wagering Odds

writer — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 02:47:17 +0000

Starting Pitchers for this evening’s game are Kenshin Kawakami for the Braves who is -8 with an ERA of 4.91 with 36 Ks and 18 Walks and for the Diamondbacks it’s Ian Kennedy who is 3-3 with an ERA 3.46 with 65 Ks and 25 Walks. Kawakami is longing for his first victory tonight. Can these statistics influence the MLB Betting lines and MLB Odds on this evening’s game?

The Arizona Diamondbacks are feeling better about themselves after taking four of the first six games on their 10-game homestand. Dontrelle Willis, a two time All-Star and past Rookie of the Year, just joined the team after they worked out an arrangement with the Detroit Tigers to get him. He paid off quickly for the team when he didn’t allow a run in over six innings vs Colorado in a game past Saturday.

Arizona will probably need a good start from Willis because Atlanta will probably have Tommy Hanson on the mound. He has an extraordinary record, even versus Arizona. On May 15 he gave up 5 runs over 7 innings and struck out 10 of the Diamondbacks before the Braves won 11-1. He struck out six Dodgers and led the Braves to a 9-3 win on Saturday vs Los Angeles.

The Atlanta Braves have secured the past five games of the seven they’ve played the Diamondbacks. What’s amazing is that the Braves have employed Kawakami in the starting rotation with his irregularity. The Atlanta Braves have lost 3 of their past 4 games played, as well as Monday’s series opener where they played vs the Diamondbacks and lost. This series proceeds tonight.

At home the Diamondbacks desire to keep on winning as they did by taking 3 of 4 from the Rockies just last weekend and considering they’re in last place in the NL West and wish to increase from there! Look at the MLB Betting lines and MLB Odds on this evening’s game!

The Arizona Diamondbacks are an even 14-4 this 2010 season at home while the Braves are only 14-19 while playing away and on the road. With that said, it seems that the Diamondbacks have a 55 % chance of winning this game. Will the MLB Betting lines or MLB odds for the game be negatively affected by this?

The Atlanta Braves and the Diamondbacks Stats:

The Atlanta Braves are: 34-25 SU

The Arizona Diamondbacks are: 23-36 SU

The Atlanta Braves lately:

While playing Wednesday’s they’re 5-5

Before they played the Diamondbacks they were 3-7

As soon as they played the Diamondbacks they’re 5-5

After their past win they’re 8-2

The Arizona Diamondbacks lately:

While competing Wednesdays they’re 2-8

Before they played the Braves they were 4-6

As soon as they played the Braves they’re 5-5

After their past loss they’re 2-8

The Next Match:

the Diamondbacks at home vs. the Braves, on Thursday, June 10

Currently the MLB Odds makers have the lines presently for the Diamondbacks at -1 ½ ( 165) and the Braves at 1 ½ (-185) and the Total – Over 9 ½ (-120) and under 9 ½ (EV) and the Diamondbacks are -118 and the Braves are 108 on the Money Line.

Marlins & Philadelphia Phillies in Thursday MLB Gambling on MLB Network

writer — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 23:47:06 +0000

The NL East is highlighted in Thursday MLB betting as the Philadelphia Phillies host the Marlins in a match which can be viewed on the MLB Network.

It is the last match of a 7-game homestand for the Phillies, and the end of a three-game series in baseball betting.

Primarily due to the fact they are at home, MLB betting odds favor the Phillies in this match. The pitching matchup may end up favoring Florida. Anibal Sancehz is planned to be on Thursday for Florida. He is 5-3 for the season with a 3.18 ERA. Sanchez was rolling along until his previous start versus the Mets when he allowed 4 runs in five 2/3 innings. He had won his 4 previous starts.

The Marlins have held their own a short while ago versus the Phillies in MLB betting. Before this series began they had won 11 of the previous 20 versus Philadelphia. They got two of three at Philadelphia earlier this season. The Phillies are one of those clubs in baseball that can play just as nicely on the road as at home so they can be overvalued at home. Before this series began, the previous five meetings between the two clubs had gone below the total.

The Marlins were up and down this season and it can be tough to anticipate what they are going to do on a nightly basis. They do play much better at home than on the road but it is not a substantial distinction. The Marlins are only average in hitting and in ERA. They are able to be great however with players like Hanley Ramirez striking the ball and Josh Johnson pitching. Even Sanchez has shown the ability to be pretty excellent.

Philadelphia has been far better at home this season than for the road, but not by much. The Phillies have strangely fought to score runs. Jimmy Rollins has been out of the lineup for the majority of the season and his absence has harmed the Phillies, however they in any other case have a powerful lineup. The Phillies have received fine pitching as they are in the top five in the league. It might be Jamie Moyer receiving the start in this match and he has been sound generally speaking this season.

The Phillies’ Roy Halladay threw a perfect match a couple of weeks yet again versus the Marlins, pitching the 20th perfect match in the majors. Halladay already has a Cy Young Award as well as six All-Star match selections to his credit. He threw just the second perfect match in the Philadelphia Phillies’ history, and just the 8th in the National League’s history. He struck out 11 of the Marlins’ players and outshined the Marlins’ pitcher, Josh Johnson, in the process. It directed Johnson to point out later that it was unreal how Halladay does his business. “No messing around, no joking around. He’s there for one reason.” That match went 1-0 for the Phillies.

Wednesday night’s match was delayed as a result of rain and will be compensated for on Monday, September 6, as the Phillies and the Marlins play a double header.

Baseball Lines See AL East Foes Handling Injury

writer — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 19:38:42 +0000

2 ferocious competitors in the American League East who get a lot of competition against the baseball lines are handling injuries.

The Boston Red Sox put outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury back again on the disabled list while the New York Yankees only activated their centerfielder, Curtis Granderson. The Boston Red Sox have performed significantly better a short while ago plus they are an issue again against the baseball odds.

Granderson was swapped from the Detroit Tigers in exchange for Phil Coke and Austin Jackson in December of last year and has performed for the Yankees since. He performed in the 2009 All Star Game.

The Yankees and the Boston Red Sox are regularly favored in baseball lines. Boston was in sad shape a few weeks ago nonetheless they have performed significantly better of late even with their trauma issues. This season, Ellsbury has performed in only nine matches. The Red Sox star 2nd baseman, Dustin Pedroia has performed through his trauma. He twisted his right knee on May 15th and since that time he has not hit well. He was hitting practically .300 before the trauma. He is hitting below .200 since he got hurt.

Pedroia has been voted into the AL All-Star team, and he has received numerous awards, including AL Rookie of the Year for 2007.

The Yankees have had injury issues of their own that have affected their baseball odds. Curtis Granderson, the New York centerfielder, returned a short while ago and he should surely help their lineup. He had been out since early May with a groin injury. With his return, Brett Gardner can move back to left field and Nick Swisher to DH. The Yankees normal DH, Nick Johnson went on the DL and it has been a rotating situation at designated hitter ever since.

The Yankees still rank #1 in the league, plus they are still very good offensively. Getting Granderson back into the lineup will help though as he is a player who can get on base, steal bases and hit for average. He is similar in some respects to Boston’s Jacoby Ellsbury who is out. Ellsbury has been missed by the Red Sox in their order this season. Boston still needs Ellsbury in their lineup as he does plenty of of the same things that Granderson does for the Yankees, though Boston has picked it up lately offensively.

Ellsbury has been out practically totally since April 11, wound up with hairline fractures to 4 of his ribs when he crashed into Red Sox third baseman Adrian Beltre. On May 22 he returned, but on May 28 a doctor decided that his ribs needed more time to heal, so he was put back on leave.

Injuries are always a concern for teams during the lengthy baseball season. While the Yankees and Red Sox have survived lacking essential players it is surely more hard. {New York and Boston were anticipated to battle all season for the American League East title but to date this season it has been Tampa Bay who has stolen the show.|To date this season it has been Tampa Bay who has stolen the show, even though New York and Boston were anticipated to battle all season for the American League East title.
