Buchholz exits with hyperextended knee

Baseball Betting Lines

06/26/2010 - San Francisco, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Boston Red Sox starter Clay Buchholz exited Saturday's game against the Giants after pulling up lame running the bases in second inning.

The Red Sox indicated the 25-year-old right-hander suffered a hyperextended left knee, though there was no indication as to its severity.

Buchholz, who was on base with his first career hit and was injured running to second on a ground ball hit by Marco Scutaro, pitched a scoreless first inning before yielding to Scott Atchison, the first of seven Red Sox relievers to appear in the 4-2 victory.

Buchholz came into the game with a 10-4 record and a sparkling 2.47 earned-run average in 14 starts this season.

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.
