Baseball Betting Lines

09/06/2010 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Philadelphia Phillies bolstered their bullpen Monday with two additions, bringing up lefties Nate Robertson and Mike Zagurski, and recalling Vance Worley from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to start Monday against Florida.

Robertson was signed to a minor league contract on August 24. He made 19 appearances (18 starts) for the Florida Marlins this season before being released in July. The 32-year-old went 6-8 with a 5.47 earned-run average, striking out 61 and walking 40 in 100 1/3 innings.

Robertson had signed with St. Louis on August 2 before being released. He made two starts for Lehigh Valley and pitched to a 3.38 ERA with a 1-1 record.

The right-handed Worley went 10-7 with a 3.36 ERA in 27 starts between Double- A Reading and Lehigh Valley this season. He made his major league debut earlier this season against Colorado, tossing a scoreless inning of relief with two strikeouts on July 24. It was his only game in the bigs this year.

The 22-year-old will make his first career start Monday in the opener of a doubleheader with the Marlins.

Zagurski, a lefty, appeared in five games with Philadelphia from June 23-July 6 and posted a 3.38 ERA without registering a decision in 5 1/3 innings. He has a 2-3 mark and 3.27 ERA in 52 relief outings for Lehigh Valley in 2010.

Football Betting: Defensive Rookie of the Year Awards

Oddsmakers have released the odds for the 2009 AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award and Seattle Seahawks linebacker Aaron Curry has been made the opening favorite.

Bet on NFL Football

Seattle took Curry with the fourth overall pick in April's NFL draft and plan on inserting him into its starting lineup right away. The Hawks traded linebacker Julian Peterson in the offseason, so Curry is expected to have a significant role in Seattle's defense next year and that's one of the primary reasons he is the favorite to win the NFL ROY Award.

Oddsmakers from online sportsbook MySportsbook.com have made Curry a 5/1 favorite to win this year's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award. Given that he was the best defensive prospect in this year's draft and how he'll have plenty of opportunities to make plays in '09, Curry offers a ton of value at 5/1.

Another thing working for Curry is the position he plays. A linebacker has won the defensive ROY award six straight times and eight of the last nine years. Jerod Mayo, Patrick Willis, DeMeco Ryans, Shawne Merriman, Jonathan Vilma, Terrell Suggs, Kendrell Bell and Brian Urlacher were the most recent linebackers to take home the award.

Following Curry at 5/1 are Tyson Jackson (Chiefs) at 7/1, James Laurinaitas (Rams) at 8/1, Brian Orakpo (Redskins) at 10/1, Rey Maualuga (Bengals) at 10/1 and Jerry Peria (Falcons) at 10/1.

All the players mentioned above are expected to start for their respective teams, but Jackson and Peria are going to have a tough time being recognized on a national level given they're both defensive linemen. D-linemen rarely put up the numbers that it takes to win an individual award like the ROY.

A couple of players with some value are Clay Matthews (Packers) at 12/1 and Larry English (Chargers) at 15/1. Matthews is expected to start at outside linebacker in Green Bay's new 3-4 defense and could rack up a ton of tackles. English, who was an impressive player at Northern Illinois, is expected to be a situational pass rusher for the Chargers and could rack up a ton of sacks.
