Colon to make Red Sox debut Wednesday

Baseball Betting Lines

05/21/2008 - Boston, MA (Baseball Betting) - Bartolo Colon is set to make his Boston Red Sox debut Wednesday against the Kansas City Royals.

The 10-year veteran, who was signed February 8 to a minor-league deal, made three starts for the team's Triple-A affiliate in Pawtucket, before he was called up to start the third contest in a four-game series.

Colon takes the mound two days after Jon Lester no-hit the Royals and one day after a 2-1 victory in which Rookie Justin Masterson gave up one earned run on three hits in 6.1 innings.

Masterson was called up from Double-A Portland to replace Clay Buchholz who was put on the 15-day disabled list May 14, with a broken fingernail. The rookie was optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket early Wednesday to make room for the veteran right-hander.

Colon has not pitched in a major-league game since last September 29 when he struck out two batters and allowed no hits in one inning of relief for the Angels. He finished the 2007 season with a 6-8 record a 6.34 earned-run average. The 2005 American League Cy Young Award winner won his first five decisions before dropping eight of his last nine.

In his three starts for the PawSox, Colon was 2-0 with a 0.64 ERA, 11 strikeouts and six hits allowed in 14 innings. Colon's first start was on April 3, before a right oblique strain sidelined him until his two most recent starts on May 10 and May 15.

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.
