Baseball Betting Lines

05/12/2008 - Minneapolis, MN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Boston Red Sox have activated first baseman Sean Casey off the 15-day disabled list and cleared room on the roster by designating pitcher Julian Tavarez for assignment.

Casey had been sidelined since April 26 with a right hip strain, suffering the injury a day earlier while running the bases in a game against Tampa Bay. He played two games in a rehab assignment for Triple-A Pawtucket and went 3-for-6 with a double.

In 17 games entering Monday's action, Casey was batting .346 with eight runs batted in. This is Casey's first season with Boston after previous stints with Detroit, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Cleveland.

Tavarez appeared in nine games for Boston this season, posting a record of 0-1 with a 6.39 earned run average. He's allowed 12 runs -- nine earned -- on 18 hits with nine walks and six strikeouts in 12 2/3 innings.

The journeyman right-hander, who will turn 35 on May 22, was in his third year with the Red Sox after pitching for St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Florida, the Chicago Cubs, Colorado, San Francisco and Cleveland since 1993.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds

With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.

Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season.  Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money. 

This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy.  A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
