Second opinion produces same diagnosis for Beltran
Baseball Betting Lines
06/30/2009 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A second opinion on the injured knee of New York Mets center fielder Carlos Beltran reportedly remains a bone bruise.
Beltran visited noted surgeon Dr. Richard Steadman in Colorado on Monday and the New York Daily News is reporting that the doctor agrees with the initial diagnosis by the Mets.
There was speculation that the injury could have been more serious, possibly a microfracture that would have required surgery.
The Mets had initially indicated that Beltran would be sidelined through the All-Star break, but the timetable for his return could be longer. Surgery could have potentially ended his season.
Beltran has been dealing with a balky right knee since mid-May, and an MRI exam performed on June 22 showed that the bone bruise had worsened over time. He was placed on the 15-day disabled list later that day.
The switch-hitting Beltran has a .336 average this season with eight homers and 40 runs batted in through 62 games. The 32-year-old has 11 stolen bases and a .425 on-base percentage.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
