Astros place Norris on DL

Baseball Betting Lines

05/28/2010 - Cincinnati, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - One day after announcing that Bud Norris will miss his next scheduled start, the Houston Astros placed the right-hander on the 15-day disabled list with bursitis and biceps tendinitis in his right arm.

Norris was examined on Friday and received a cortisone injection after his MRI results were normal. He is eligible to be activated from the disabled list on June 8.

Norris has struggled in his second major league season, compiling a 2-5 record with a 6.80 earned run average in nine starts.

To replace his spot on the roster, the team recalled pitcher Gustavo Chacin from Triple-A Round Rock. He has made four relief appearances for the Astros, allowing a run in 5 1/3 innings.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup

September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com.  The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans. 

Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to  name a  few.  Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR.  They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.

The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer.  Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
