Braves' Johnson hits DL with wrist tendinitis

Baseball Betting Lines

07/03/2009 - Washington, DC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Atlanta Braves have placed second baseman Kelly Johnson on the 15-day disabled with right wrist tendinitis.

Johnson has struggled thus far in 2009, hitting just .214 with five home runs, 20 runs batted in and 33 runs scored over 68 games for Atlanta. Braves skipper Bobby Cox recently announced that utilityman Martin Prado would supplant Johnson as the starting second baseman for the time being.

The 27-year-old hit .287 in full-time duty last year for the Braves in 547 at- bats. He added 12 home runs, 69 RBI and scored 86 runs.

The club purchased the contract of infielder Brooks Conrad from Triple-A Gwinnett to fill the roster spot. Conrad was recently named to the International League All-Star team, having hit .259 with nine home runs, 38 RBI and 46 runs scored in 73 games with Gwinnett this season.

Stanley Cup betting

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.

The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.

MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.

Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
