Prior again shut down for season
Baseball Betting Lines
06/01/2008 -
San Francisco, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - San Diego Padres pitcher Mark Prior will
undergo season-ending surgery on his right shoulder this week.
The former Cubs hurler had an examination and an MRI done by Dr. James Andrews
in Birmingham, Alabama earlier in the month, revealing a tear in the anterior
part of the shoulder capsule.
The talented but oft-injured pitcher, who signed a one-year, $1-million
contract with his hometown club in the offseason, missed the entire 2007
season after the surgery in April. His last major league action came with
the Chicago Cubs during the 2006 season, when he went 1-6 with a 7.21 earned
run average.
Over his five-year career with the Cubs, Prior is 42-29 with a 3.51 ERA, 757
strikeouts and 223 walks, while limiting opponents to a .235 average in 106
starts. He went 18-6 with a 2.43 earned run average in 2003, fanning 245 in
211 1/3 innings, but has yet to regain that form since.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets
With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
