All-Star controversy: Beltre or Young?
Baseball Betting Lines
07/12/2010 -
Anaheim, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - American League manager Joe Girardi didn't
hesitate when asked about Boston third baseman Adrian Beltre's status for
Tuesday's All-Star Game.
Girardi said Beltre, who injured his left hamstring during Sunday's game
at Toronto, was replaced by Texas' Michael Young. The New York skipper made
the announcement at a press conference Monday after revealing the starting
lineup and pitcher for the Mid-Summer Classic.
According to the Boston Globe, Beltre was shocked to learn of Girardi's
pronouncement because he had not ruled himself out. He planned on testing his
hamstring later Monday. If he determines he can't play, Young would then be
his replacement.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
