Nationals' Johnson heads to DL again

Baseball Betting Lines

05/15/2008 - Flushing, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Washington Nationals have placed oft- injured first baseman Nick Johnson on the 15-day disabled list with a torn tendon in his right wrist, the team announced Thursday.

Johnson, who missed the entire 2007 season after recovering from a broken right leg, suffered the injury in his last at-bat during Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the New York Mets. It is the ninth consecutive season Johnson has sustained an injury, dating back to 2000, when he was in the New York Yankees' farm system.

The 30-year-old was struggling prior to the injury, hitting just .220 with five home runs and 20 runs batted in through 38 games.

To replace Johnson on the 25-man roster, the Nats activated first baseman Dmitri Young from the 15-day disabled list. Young, who was on the shelf with a sprained lower back, has appeared in just two games this season and is 1-for-2 at the plate with an RBI double.

Last year, Young was a National League All-Star selection and hit.320 with 13 homers and 74 RBI.

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.

MySportsbook.com Week 1 odds:

Saints +6 @ Colts -6

Falcons @ Vikings (pick ‘em)

Panthers @ Rams (pick ‘em)

Broncos -3.5 @ Bills +3.5

Chiefs -1 @ Texans +1

Dolphins +3 @ Redskins -3

Patriots -5 @ Jets +5

Eagles -3.5 @ Packers +3.5

Steelers -4 @ Browns +4

Titans +6 @ Jaguars -6

Bears +6 @ Chargers -6

Lions +3 @ Raiders -3

Bucs +6.5 @ Seahawks -6.5

Giants +4 @ Cowboys -4

Ravens +3 @ Bengals -3

Cardinals +3 @ 49ers -3
