Bad break for Dodgers' Billingsley

Baseball Betting Lines

11/23/2008 - Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Young Dodgers ace Chad Billingsley suffered a broken left fibula Friday after slipping on a patch of ice outside of his home in Reading, Pennsylvania.

The 24-year-old sustained a spiral fracture of the fibula and underwent surgery on Saturday that will keep his left leg -- his landing leg when he pitches -- in a cast for two weeks.

The Dodgers fully expect Billingsley to be ready for spring training and the start of the 2009 season.

The 24th overall pick of the 2003 Draft had the best season of his brief three-year career for the NL West Champions in 2008, going 16-10 with a 3.14 earned-run average and 201 strikeouts in 200 2/3 innings, which included a 7-1 record in his final 12 starts.

The Dodgers will already start next season without pitchers Derek Lowe, Brad Penny and Greg Maddux, who have each departed through free agency.

Stanley Cup betting

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.
