Rangers' Benson has scheduled start moved back

Baseball Betting Lines

04/21/2009 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Texas Rangers right-handed pitcher Kris Benson will miss his scheduled start versus Toronto on Wednesday due to right elbow tendinitis the club announced on Monday.

The oft-injured Benson is expected to get the starting nod on Saturday against the Orioles in Baltimore, with lefty Matt Harrison taking Benson's spot Wednesday.

Benson, 34, who is 1-1 with a 9.00 ERA in two starts this season, agreed to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training in the offseason.

He spent 2008 in Philadelphia's minor-league system while recovering from rotator cuff surgery and was released by the Phillies on August 30.

In his career, spanning parts of eight seasons with the Pirates, Mets, Orioles and Rangers, Benson is 69-74 with a 4.38 earned run average in 197 starts. He was selected by the Pirates with the first overall pick of the 1996 draft.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.

(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977.  Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.

Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer.  In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season. 

MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season.  Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite.  After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.

Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions.  They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals.  The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
