08/13/2010 - Atlanta, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Los Angeles Dodgers demoted Jonathan Broxton from the closer's role after he suffered his fifth blown save of the season by faltering in the ninth inning Thursday night in Philadelphia.
Broxton, chosen as an All-Star the last two years, has a 4-4 record with a 3.50 ERA with 21 saves this season entering Friday night. The right-hander has suffered three blown saves in his last eight appearances, including the horrible outing Thursday night when he didn't retire a batter.
The Dodgers, who were ahead by seven runs at one point Thursday, led 9-6 going to the ninth inning when Broxton entered the game. He hit Placido Polanco with a pitch, walked Mike Sweeney and Jayson Werth. An error on third baseman Casey Blake scored two runs and Carlos Ruiz then slammed a two-run double to the gap in left-center field to end the game.
Dodgers manager Joe Torre will use Hong-Chih Kuo as the closer for the time being, although Broxton can earn the job back. Kuo has a 3-1 record with a 0.90 ERA and three saves going into Friday's game in Atlanta.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
