Mets P Martinez slated for Friday start
Baseball Betting Lines
07/28/2008 -
Miami, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - New York Mets manager Jerry Manuel announced
Monday that Pedro Martinez will return from the bereavement list and start
Friday's game at Houston.
Martinez has not pitched since July 12 when he aggravated a groin injury in a
start against the Rockies. The team then placed the righty on the bereavement
list when Martinez's father, Pablo, lost his battle with brain cancer and
passed away during the Mets 6-3 win over the Phillies Wednesday night.
The plan is to have Martinez join the team Tuesday in Miami and throw an
extended bullpen session.
The 36-year-old Martinez is 3-2 with a 6.25 earned run average this season
over nine starts.

2007 Academy Award Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value
If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture. Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).
For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot. The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.
TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.
"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,' it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."
"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.
Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash. Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
