Diamondbacks play first of three in AtlantaBaseball Betting Lines05/14/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Two of the National League's three last-place teams begin a three-game weekend series tonight when the Arizona Diamondbacks travel to Turner Field to face the host Atlanta Braves. Arizona is last in the NL West at 14-21, already 8 1/2 games behind San Diego, while the Braves bring up the rear in the East and are trailing Philadelphia by 4 1/2 games. A symbol of the early-season struggles, Japanese right-hander Kenshin Kawakami, takes the mound to start the set for the Braves. The 34-year-old has been on the short end of decisions in all six of his starts this spring, including a 5-3 loss at Philadelphia on May 9 in which he gave up seven hits and five runs in 6 2/3 innings. He was 7-12 with a save as a major-league rookie last season, posting a 3.86 earned run average in 156 1/3 innings. Thus far in 2010, batters are hitting .295 against him. Kawakami lost one start to the Diamondbacks last season after surrendering five hits and three runs in five innings. For Arizona, former first-round draft pick Ian Kennedy aims to restart a brief win streak. The 21st pick in the 2006 draft by the New York Yankees, Kennedy strung together road defeats of the Chicago Cubs and Houston on April 29 and May 4, allowing 14 hits and four earned runs in 14 2/3 innings. He dropped his last start, 6-1, to Milwaukee, however, after giving up six hits and two runs in seven innings. Kennedy, who has never faced Atlanta, made one big-league appearance with the Yankees last season and pitched an inning of relief. He was 0-4 with New York in 2008 and is 3-6 lifetime in 21 outings. On Wednesday in Milwaukee, Brooks Conrad hit a two-run homer and drove in four runs as Atlanta downed Milwaukee, 9-2, in the finale of a three- game set from Miller Park. Eric Hinske finished with two hits and an RBI while Jason Heyward drove in a run and scored three times for the Braves, who swept the series and have won four of five overall. Derek Lowe (5-3) gave up just six hits and a pair of runs over his six-inning start, winning for the second time in three outings. Meanwhile in Phoenix, Hiroki Kuroda pitched into the eighth inning and Manny Ramirez smashed a three-run double as the Los Angeles Dodgers completed a three-game sweep of the Diamondbacks with a 6-3 victory at Chase Field. Adam LaRoche knocked in three runs for Arizona, which went 0-6 on its homestand, having been outscored 52-15 against Milwaukee and Los Angeles. It was the worst homestand for the Diamondbacks since losing all 11 games, July 15-25, 2004 against the Dodgers, Giants, Astros and Rockies. Edwin Jackson (1-5) was charged with seven hits and six runs in 6 2/3 innings and lost his fourth consecutive start. The right-hander had four walks and eight strikeouts. Atlanta won four of the seven matchups in the season series last year.

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.

With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship. One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year. Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.
