Lopez makes debut with Phillies

Baseball Betting Lines

07/03/2009 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Philadelphia Phillies called up pitcher Rodrigo Lopez from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to start Friday's game against the New York Mets.

Lopez is being used as a spot-starter due to Antonio Bastardo (shoulder) being placed on the 15-day disabled list earlier in the week. The right-hander has not pitched in the majors since 2007, when he started 14 games for Colorado.

In 13 starts for Lehigh Valley this season, Lopez, who has started 161 games in the big leagues, was 5-4 with a 3.91 earned-run average.

For his career, the seven-plus-year veteran is 65-65 with a 4.80 ERA.

To make room on the roster, the Phillies designated reliever Jack Taschner for assignment. In 21 games this season for Philly, the lefty has gone 1-1 with a 5.20 ERA.

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.
