Griffey hurt in Reds loss

Baseball Betting Lines

09/20/2007 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Cincinnati Reds right fielder Ken Griffey Jr. appeared to hurt his groin during the eighth inning of a 3-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs Wednesday night.

Ryan Theriot singled with one out in the bottom of the eighth and went to second when Griffey bobbled the ball in right field. Derrek Lee then singled sharply to right, and Griffey started to make a throw before grabbing his groin area and underhanded the ball toward the infield. Despite this, Theriot stayed at third, while Griffey tumbled to the ground in pain. Griffey remained on his back for a couple of minutes before finally walking off the field.

The Reds then lost the game as Adam Dunn made a controversial trap on a ball hit by pinch-hitter Matt Murton, allowing the go-ahead run to score.

Griffey is hitting .277 with 30 homers and 93 RBI in 144 games this season.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year

Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.

Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.

With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.

Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.

Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
