Humber Joins Starts For Era

Baseball Betting Lines

Heading to the hill for the Indians in the series finale this afternoon is Mitch Talbot. The right-hander, who is in search of just his third win of 2011, saw limited time with the big club in April and May but managed to work his way into five starts last month.

 

On Monday the third-year man lasted just five innings against Arizona, giving up three runs on three hits and a pair of walks and even though the Tribe captured the win Talbot did not factor into the decision.

 

In that matchup the California native allowed only four hits and a pair of walks, while striking out three through six innings of action to snap a personal two-game slide.

 

Despite being the top scoring team in the NL Central, the Reds are currently just 42-42 and are fourth in the standings, three games off the pace set by Milwaukee and St. Louis. Additionally, Cincinnati is now a mere 5-12 in interleague play this season, compared to the Tribe which has taken 11 of 17 outings.

 

In 27 games (23 starts) over his career, Marquis is 12-6 with a 3.60 ERA when facing the Pirates.

 

The Pirates took the first contest, 5-3, behind back-to-back, eighth-inning homers from Garrett Jones and Andrew McCutchen.

 

Later in the frame, with two down, Rodriguez fell behind 0-2, then fought off two fastballs before slicing a line drive to right, scoring Rick Ankiel.

 

Tony Watson (0-1) allowed the decisive hit.

 

The chance for the sweep in Detroit came after a 15-3 rout last night in a game that was delayed 2 1/2 hours by rain. Brandon Crawford, Pablo Sandoval and Miguel Tejada each homered. Crawford went 3-for-4 with three RBI and three runs scored for San Francisco. Sandoval extended his hitting streak to a career-best 13 games.

The 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite.

Bet NFL Sports Lines

Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense.

Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively.

A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey.

Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season.

Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back.

Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick.

And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
