Baseball Betting Lines

10/08/2007 - Milwaukee (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Milwaukee left-hander Chris Capuano is scheduled to visit Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Alabama on Wednesday for an examination of his right shoulder.

An examination by Brewers team physician Dr. William Raasch revealed a torn labrum in Capuano's right shoulder. If Dr. Andrews agrees with Raasch's diagnosis, Capuano will undergo surgery on Thursday. If surgery is necessary, recovery time is expected to be four months.

After a successful 2006 season that included an All-Star appearance, Capuano struggled this past season, going 5-12 with a 5.10 ERA in 29 games, including 25 starts.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value

If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture.  Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).

For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot.  The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.

TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the  drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.

"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,'  it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."

"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.

Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash.  Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
