Baseball Betting Lines

08/23/2010 - Washington, DC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago Cubs activated catcher Geovany Soto from the 15-day disabled list among several roster moves on Monday.

The 27-year-old backstop was put on the DL on August 10 with a sprained right shoulder ligament. Over 88 games this season, Soto is hitting .288 with 15 homers and 45 runs batted in to go with a .401 on-base percentage.

Chicago also called up infielder Micah Hoffpauir from Triple-A Iowa on Monday. The 30-year-old will be making his second stint with the big club this year. He saw action in three games in early August and went 0-for-7 with four strikeouts.

The moves were made necessary when the Cubs optioned catcher Welington Castillo and outfielder Sam Fuld following Sunday's loss to Atlanta.

In other team news, the Cubs named Bob Dernier new first base coach and announced Ivan DeJesus will take over third base coaching duties from Mike Quade, who was promoted to interim manager following Lou Piniella's immediate retirement after Sunday's game.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines


Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow.  Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season.   Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints.  These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order.  As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS.  The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens.  The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.
