03/06/2008 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The eighth-ranked Xavier Musketeers carry an 11-game win streak into tonight's Atlantic 10 Conference clash with the struggling Saint Joseph's Hawks.
The Musketeers are coming off a 66-56 victory over George Washington on Saturday, and they have already wrapped up the A-10 regular-season title and top seed in the upcoming conference tournament. Xavier is 13-1 in league play, and no other team in the conference has fewer than five league losses.
Saint Joseph's owns an 8-6 league record, good for a four-way tie for third place. The Hawks, who are 17-10 overall, have lost two straight and five of their last seven, and they now appear to be on the outside of the NCAA Tournament bubble. On Sunday, they dropped a heartbreaking 57-56 decision to rival Temple.
Xavier beat Saint Joseph's by a 76-72 final on February 10th, but the Hawks still hold a 19-15 edge in the all-time series.
Through 29 outings, Xavier is scoring 76.1 ppg while limiting the opposition to 62.0 ppg on 40.1 percent shooting from the floor. The Musketeers are outrebounding opponents by 5.6 rpg, a key to their success. It is hard to find many teams as balanced offensively as Xavier, as the team has five double-digit scorers in the lineup. Josh Duncan leads the pack with 11.7 ppg, while Drew Lavender is scoring 10.8 ppg to go along with 127 assists against 50 turnovers. B.J. Raymond and Derrick Brown are both scoring 10.7 ppg, while C.J. Anderson checks in with 10.6 ppg. Stanley Burrell's average has fallen to 9.9 ppg, as the team has had six double-digit scorers for much of the season. In the most recent win over George Washington, Anderson tallied 15 points, while Jason Love added 12 points and 10 rebounds. The Musketeers connected on 55 percent of their field goal attempts, key to the victory.
So what caused the most recent loss to Temple for Saint Joseph's? Well, it certainly didn't help matters that the Hawks connected on only 38.5 percent of their field goal attempts, including a 2-of-16 showing from three-point range. They earned a narrow rebounding advantage and shot the ball well from the foul line, but the shaky showing from the floor caused the setback. Pat Calathes posted 14 points and nine rebounds for Saint Joseph's, but the A-10 Player of the Year candidate only shot 3-of-14 from the field. Ahmad Nivins added 11 points in 34 minutes of action. Calathes is generating 17.9 ppg on 41.3 percent shooting from behind the arc, and he also adds 7.7 rpg and 75 assists to the mix. He has blocked 35 shots and recorded 36 steals, proof of his tremendous versatility. As for Nivins, he is scoring 14.2 ppg but hasn't been quite as productive as expected this season. Rob Ferguson (11.7 ppg), Tasheed Carr (10.8 ppg) and Darrin Govens (10.7 ppg) add balance to the lineup.

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.
Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.
El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.
MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds.
Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.
New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.
Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
