Baseball Betting Lines
08/12/2008 -
Oakland, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Carl Crawford will
undergo surgery on Thursday to repair the subluxation of his right middle
finger tendon.
Crawford, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Sunday, is expected to
miss six-to-eight weeks. The two-time AL All-Star first felt the injury during
Saturday's 11-inning win at Seattle.
In the midst of an 11-game hitting streak at the time of the injury, Crawford
was batting .273 with 57 RBI and 25 stolen bases this season.
Tampa is currently in first place in the American League East and Crawford's
injury could cause him to miss postseason action should the Rays qualify.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship
(September 15, 2007)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. 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 2007 NASCAR Nextel 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.
