Big Unit exits early with shoulder injury

Baseball Betting Lines

07/05/2009 - San Francisco, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - San Francisco starter Randy Johnson had to cut his outing against Houston short on Sunday after injuring his left shoulder.

The injury appeared to come in the third inning on an awkward wave at a third- strike curveball from Astros starter Roy Oswalt. He immediately reached for his shoulder but remained in the game. In the fourth, he yielded three of his four runs allowed and committed a throwing error before leaving. The initial diagnosis is a strain.

"Very scary. I thought he did something to (his left shoulder) and started throwing a lot slower than he usually throws...89-91 and all of the sudden you see this guy throwing 82. You just hope and pray that nothing happens to him seriously and that he's okay for the next start," said battery mate Bengie Molina.

Johnson was attempting to win a third consecutive start and fourth straight decision but took the loss in lasting just 3 2/3 frames. The five-time Cy Young Award winner, who picked up career win No. 300 earlier this year, is now 8-6 on the season with a 4.81 earned run average through 17 starts.

The Astros went on to post a 7-1 victory.

Pro Football Odds : NFC SOUTH BETTING ODDS

NFL Sports Betting

NFL betting action is back! At MySportsbook, all of the pro football odds are posted for the NFC North. Check out how we see the four teams in this cloudy division stacking up this year in the chase for the playoffs! Green Bay Packers (+125) - With QB Aaron Rodgers leading the offense and DC Dom Capers working his magic on defense, the Packers are a real force to be reckoned with.

Virtually nothing changed on this offense for Green Bay from last year to this year, save for the addition of rookie OT Brian Bulaga to the bunch. Expect more huge numbers from the Pack, and a relatively favorable schedule should get them over the hump and into the playoffs once again this season. My NFL Betting Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in NFC North Minnesota Vikings (+130) - There are still too many unknowns about the Vikes this year. There is a huge difference between QB Brett Favre and either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under center. Plus, is Favre comes back, is he really going to be able to keep his pick total under double digits again? Depth at running back looked like it might have been an issue with RB Chester Taylor fleeing in free agency, but drafting RB Toby Gerhart should pick up the difference. This defense is still suitable, but with a first place schedule, making the playoffs is going to be very tough regardless of whether #4 comes back or not.

Chicago Bears (+350) - The Bears are probably a bit of an overhyped team once again this year.No, we don't think it is plausible for QB Jay Cutler to have as bad of a season as he did last year, and we do think the additions of RB Chester Taylor and DE Julius Peppers are going to help immensely, but there's still something in the water in the Windy City that we aren't so sure about. Maybe Chicago finds its way to .500... but then again, maybe it doesn't. If Favre comes back, Cutler might be the worst quarterback in this division this year.

Detroit Lions (+1500) - The Lions are probably once again going to be the whipping boys for the rest of the teams in the NFC North, but they aren't just going to roll over and die once again. There is some real talent amassing on this team offensively, as the combination of QB Matt Stafford, RB Jahvid Best, WR Calvin Johnson, and TE Brandon Pettigrew should put a bunch of points on the board if the offensive line can even remotely hold up. The questions really lie on defense, where it feels like DT Ndamukong Suh is going to be trying to stop opposing teams all by himself. This year should show some marked improvement in the Motor City.

The Patriots will make NFL betting fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
