Angels bring back Kendrick; option Rodriguez

Baseball Betting Lines

07/04/2009 - Anaheim, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Angels have recalled infielder Howie Kendrick from Triple-A Salt Lake and optioned infielder Sean Rodriguez back to the club's top affiliate.

The move reverses a transaction originally made on June 13 when Kendrick, a career .300 hitter entering the 2009 season, was demoted to find his swing and regroup after batting .231 through 51 games.

"It's time for Howie to go down, exhale and find his swing," said Angels manager Mike Scioscia at the time. "Hopefully he'll be back soon."

Rodriguez was subsequently added to the roster but wasn't much better, collecting just two hits in nine games for a .118 average (2-for-17).

For the season, Kendrick has four homers, two triples, seven doubles, 22 runs batted in and 24 runs scored.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines


Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow.  Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season.   Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints.  These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order.  As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS.  The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens.  The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.
