Baseball Betting Lines

08/16/2008 - Atlanta, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - San Francisco Giants left-hander Jonathan Sanchez was scratched from his scheduled start Saturday against Atlanta due to a left shoulder strain. Matt Palmer, recalled to the team Thursday to work in middle relief, will make his major league debut as the replacement starter.

The 29-year-old Palmer was working as a starter at Triple-A Fresno where he went 6-9 with a 4.13 earned run average in addition to 137 strikeouts in 131 innings.

Sanchez, who is 8-9 with a 4.53 ERA over 24 starts this season, was looking to halt a four-start losing streak. The third-year player is winless in seven starts dating back to June 29, when he went seven strong innings in an 11-1 drubbing of Oakland.

What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.

Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country.
