Braves send Hanson to hill against Washington

Baseball Betting Lines

07/04/2009 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rookie phenom Tommy Hanson looks for a fifth straight victory today when the Atlanta Braves visit our nation's capital for a holiday afternoon game with the host Washington Nationals at Nationals Park.

Hanson, who'll turn 23 later this month, was called to the majors earlier this season upon the release of veteran southpaw Tom Glavine.

He was touched for six hits and six runs against Milwaukee in his no-decision debut on June 7, but has been stellar since while allowing just two runs in 23 innings.

The effort earned him National League Rookie of the Month honors for June.

The two runs came in a 7-2 defeat of Baltimore on June 12 and three straight scoreless outings have since followed, in which Hanson has beaten Cincinnati, the New York Yankees and Boston while surrendering nine hits in 17 1/3 innings.

The Braves have outscored their opposition in those games, 13-1.

For the Nationals, lefty John Lannan goes for his own fourth straight victory.

The Long Beach, N.Y. native was just 2-5 after a 4-2 loss at Philadelphia on May 31 before going 3-0 with two no-decisions in five June starts.

He got to .500 with a 5-3 win at Baltimore on June 28, in which he gave up six hits and three runs in 7 1/3 innings.

Lannan faced the Braves twice in his initial four starts this season, going 0-1 while giving up 14 hits and four runs in 13 innings. Lifetime against Atlanta, he is 2-2 with a 3.30 earned run average.

The Nationals are 6-10 in games he's pitched.

On Friday, Brooks Conrad's first home run of his career was a pinch-hit, three-run shot to lift the Braves to a 9-8 win, extending their win streak to a season-best five games. .

Chipper Jones, Yunel Escobar and Matt Diaz each had two RBI while Martin Prado crossed the plate three times for Atlanta, which can get back to .500 with a win today.

Kenshin Kawakami started on the mound, but lasted just 4 1/3 innings as he was charged with five runs -- four earned -- on six hits with three walks and six strikeouts.

Boone Logan (1-0) got the win for throwing 1 2/3 perfect innings.

Adam Dunn hit the 299th home run of his career while Nyjer Morgan went 0-for-4 with a walk, one stolen base and a run scored in his debut with the Nationals, who have dropped four straight and six of seven.

Ross Detwiler was tagged for five runs on 10 hits with two walks and a strikeout in just 3 1/3 innings. Jesus Colome (1-1) was saddled with the loss.

Atlanta has won five of its seven matchups with the Nats this season after Washington took 12 of the 18 meetings a year ago.

Stanley Cup betting

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.

The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.

MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.

Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
