Dodgers' Lowe leaves after hit in wrist by line drive
Baseball Betting Lines
08/27/2006 - PHOENIX (AP) -Los Angeles Dodgers starter Derek Lowe left Saturday night's game against Arizona after being struck in the left hand by a line drive off the bat of Chad Tracy. X-rays were negative, and the injury was diagnosed as a bruised hand near the joint with the thumb. ``It's not broken,'' a relieved manager Grady Little said. ``It's really sore today, but I don't see that there would be any reason he wouldn't be able to make his next start.'' Lowe wasn't so sure. ``The problem we're going to have right now is I still can't move my thumb,'' he said. ``We were kind of told to just play it by ear. Luckily we have an off day Thursday, so my scheduled start wasn't until next Friday. Hopefully it won't be a problem, but you don't know.''' The right-hander tried to field Tracy's two-out shot in the fourth inning, but couldn't get his glove in the way in time. He walked all the way to the shortstop position in obvious pain before leaving the field. He scattered five hits, and the Dodgers had a 3-0 lead when he left. Tracy scored later in the inning, a run charged to Lowe. Lowe (11-8) had won his previous two starts and four of five. It was the second time he had been knocked out by a line drive at Arizona.

Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament odds
As of February 9, MySportsbook.com has released its coveted 2007 Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament betting odds. “March Madness betting ” only a month away, the top ranked Florida Gators are favorite at 7-2 to win it all. The defending champs have not disappointed at all this season and currently have a 22-2 record and are undefeated (9-0) in SEC play. The Gators’ thrive off of their extremely balanced, experienced and versatile attack. All five starters started in last seasons National Championship game. What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.
Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country. A concern for the Tar Heels might be inexperience. Of their top four scorers/ minute earners, three are freshmen and the other is a sophomore. The rest of the regular season, the Tar Heels play only one team that is currently ranked (Duke). Their remaining opponents do combine for an impressive 107-58 record though.
Other teams that the MySportsbook.com members seem to believe will win it all include the west coasts’ top team #2 UCLA (6-1), #3 OSU behind man-child Greg Oden (8-1), and #4 Wisconsin (10-1) behind their defense which has given up 70+ points only three times all season.
