Polanco contributes big hit in return for Phils
Baseball Betting Lines
07/17/2010 -
Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Placido Polanco made a huge impact Saturday
in his return to the lineup with the Philadelphia Phillies.
The veteran infielder, who was activated off the 15-day disabled list prior
to the game, singled home the tying run and eventually scored in a four-run,
two-out ninth inning rally that carried the Phillies to a 4-1 win over the
Cubs. He finished the game 1-for-5.
Polanco had not played since June 25 due to inflammation in his left elbow. He
had been playing through the injury after getting hit by a Tim Hudson pitch
in April, but anti-inflammatories and cortisone shots did not remedy the
issue.
Through his first 62 games this season, the 34-year-old veteran was batting
.318 with five home runs and 27 RBI. He was the leading vote-getter
among National League third basemen in All-Star balloting prior to his injury.
To make room on the roster, the club gave infielder Juan Castro his
unconditional release.
Castro has been a serviceable injury replacement for a battered Phillies
infield this season, playing shortstop, second base and third while hitting
.198 with 13 RBI in 54 games.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP
With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.
There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
