Baseball Betting Lines

05/11/2008 - Arlington, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Oakland Athletics activated oft-injured pitcher Rich Harden from the 15-day disabled list Sunday, in time to start the team's series finale with the Texas Rangers.

Harden was placed on the DL for the sixth time in the last four years in early April with a strained right shoulder.

He was sidelined with a similar injury for most of the 2007 campaign, appearing in only seven games.

Harden, 26, has a record of 1-0 with a 0.82 earned run average in two games this season.

To make room for Harden on the roster, the A's placed outfielder Chris Denorfia on the 15-day DL, retroactive to May 7, with tightness in his lower back.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
