Cardinals' Freese done for season

Baseball Betting Lines

08/03/2010 - St. Louis, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The St. Louis Cardinals learned Tuesday that rookie third baseman David Freese will miss the remainder of the season due to a tendon injury in his right ankle that will require surgery.

Freese was originally placed on the 15-day disabled list on June 29 with a bone bruise in his right ankle.

While playing in a rehabilitation game at Double-A Springfield on Monday, he re-injured the ankle. He was removed from the contest and returned to St. Louis. It is believed to be a new injury in the same area as the one that landed him on the DL.

In 70 games this year for the Cardinals, Freese hit .296 with four homers and 36 RBI.

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.
