Myers opposes red-hot Hudson in the desert
Baseball Betting Lines
09/03/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Trade deadline pick-up Daniel Hudson can continue a
sterling National League debut tonight when the Arizona Diamondbacks host the
Houston Astros in the opener of a three-game series at Chase Field.
A 23-year-old from Lynchburg, Va., Hudson was acquired in a late July deal
that sent veteran pitcher Edwin Jackson to the Chicago White Sox. He's since
made six starts for Arizona, winning four times and allowing three runs or
less in each outing.
Hudson was on the mound for seven innings in his last outing on Aug. 28, when
he allowed four hits and two runs in the Diamondbacks' 11-3 win at San
Francisco. The Old Dominion University product has pitched at least seven in
each NL outing.
Overall with Arizona, Hudson has allowed just 30 hits and nine runs in 43 2/3
innings with 42 strikeouts. In three starts with Chicago before the trade,
he'd given up 17 hits and 11 runs in just 15 2/3 innings.
Hudson has never faced Houston.
For the Astros, super-consistent righty Brett Myers aims for a 28th straight
start in which he's pitched at least six innings. In his first year with
Houston, Myers has been a symbol of durability while notching 145 strikeouts
and allowing just 174 hits in 185 innings.
He's on pace to surpass 200 innings for the second time in his career and
first since 2005, when he logged 215 1/3 innings while going 13-8 with the
Philadelphia Phillies.
The former first-round draft pick (12th overall, 1999) won double-digit games
five times with the Phillies and reached that mark for Houston in his last
start when he allowed six hits in seven scoreless innings of a 4-1 win over
the New York Mets.
Myers, who is 4-7 on the road this year, got a no-decision against the
Diamondbacks in Houston on May 5, when he was touched for six hits and two
runs in seven innings of the Astros' 4-2 victory.
Lifetime against Arizona, he is 2-2 with a save in seven games with a 3.92
earned run average.
On Wednesday in Houston, Hunter Pence hit a three-run homer as part of a four-
run fifth inning, as the Astros completed a three-game sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals with a 5-2 win at Minute Maid Park.
Michael Bourn added a single, RBI and run scored for Houston, which has won
nine of its last 11. Carlos Lee chipped in with a sacrifice fly.
Nelson Figueroa (4-2) took the win after throwing five innings. The veteran
yielded two runs on six hits, walked three and struck out one. Brandon Lyon
worked a perfect ninth inning to record his 11th save of the season.
In Arizona, Brandon Allen belted his first career grand slam in the bottom of
the seventh inning, and the Diamondbacks beat San Diego, 5-2, to complete a
three-game sweep.
It was quite a 2010 debut for Allen, who was promoted from Triple-A Reno
earlier Wednesday, the first day major league rosters could be expanded.
Barry Enright (6-2) gave up two runs and nine hits over seven innings for
Arizona, which has won six of its last seven games. The rookie right-hander
has yet to allow more than three runs in any of his 12 starts.
Arizona is 3-1 against the Astros this season.

Oddsmakers have released the odds for the 2009 AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award and Seattle Seahawks linebacker Aaron Curry has been made the opening favorite.
Bet on NFL Football
Seattle took Curry with the fourth overall pick in April's NFL draft and plan on inserting him into its starting lineup right away. The Hawks traded linebacker Julian Peterson in the offseason, so Curry is expected to have a significant role in Seattle's defense next year and that's one of the primary reasons he is the favorite to win the NFL ROY Award.
Oddsmakers from online sportsbook MySportsbook.com have made Curry a 5/1 favorite to win this year's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award. Given that he was the best defensive prospect in this year's draft and how he'll have plenty of opportunities to make plays in '09, Curry offers a ton of value at 5/1.
Another thing working for Curry is the position he plays. A linebacker has won the defensive ROY award six straight times and eight of the last nine years. Jerod Mayo, Patrick Willis, DeMeco Ryans, Shawne Merriman, Jonathan Vilma, Terrell Suggs, Kendrell Bell and Brian Urlacher were the most recent linebackers to take home the award.
Following Curry at 5/1 are Tyson Jackson (Chiefs) at 7/1, James Laurinaitas (Rams) at 8/1, Brian Orakpo (Redskins) at 10/1, Rey Maualuga (Bengals) at 10/1 and Jerry Peria (Falcons) at 10/1.
All the players mentioned above are expected to start for their respective teams, but Jackson and Peria are going to have a tough time being recognized on a national level given they're both defensive linemen. D-linemen rarely put up the numbers that it takes to win an individual award like the ROY.
A couple of players with some value are Clay Matthews (Packers) at 12/1 and Larry English (Chargers) at 15/1. Matthews is expected to start at outside linebacker in Green Bay's new 3-4 defense and could rack up a ton of tackles. English, who was an impressive player at Northern Illinois, is expected to be a situational pass rusher for the Chargers and could rack up a ton of sacks.
