Halladay strong as Howard-less Phils top Marlins in MiamiBaseball Betting Lines08/03/2010 - Miami, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Roy Halladay threw seven strong innings in his return to Miami while Carlos Ruiz added four hits, as the Philadelphia Phillies topped the Florida Marlins, 6-1, in the opener of a three-game set. The last time Halladay (13-8) pitched in Miami, May 29, he threw the second perfect game in Phillies history. While he couldn't replicate that feat Tuesday, Halladay got the win with a dominating performance. In seven innings, the right-hander allowed one run -- on a homer by Dan Uggla -- and five total hits, walked one and struck out nine. The Phillies were coming off a series loss in Washington and on Tuesday lost another key player, as first baseman Ryan Howard landed on the disabled list with a moderate left ankle sprain. However, Philadelphia got production from the lower part of its lineup. In addition to Ruiz, who had a home run and double among his four hits, Ben Francisco went 3-for-5, Wilson Valdez was 2-for-4, and Halladay added a two- run single. Sean West (0-1), who was recalled from Triple-A New Orleans on Tuesday, took the loss after allowing five runs -- four earned -- on nine hits and a walk in five innings.

Football Betting LinesThe 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite. Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense. Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively. A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey. Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season. Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back. Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick. And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
