Soccer Betting Lines

08/29/2010 - Doetinchem, Netherlands (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A hat trick from Luis Suarez put Ajax well on its way to a 5-0 thumping of De Graafschap at De Vijverberg on Sunday.

Suarez scored twice in the first half and again in the 85th minute, between second-half goals from Urby Emanuelson and Christian Eriksen.

Ajax has now earned 10 points from its opening four games, putting them on top of the Eredivisie table along with PSV Eindhoven.

It took Suarez 14 minutes to open the scoring as he turned home a cross from Gregory van der Wiel, while the lead was doubled before halftime with a well- taken free kick from Suarez that found the upper-right corner of the net from 20 yards.

The hat trick was nearly completed in the 59th minute when another free kick from Suarez crashed off the crossbar, but it didn't take long for Emanuelson to extend the lead to three goals with a free kick of his own that beat goalkeeper Boy Waterman.

Demy de Zeeuw's pass five minutes from time set up the third goal of the game for Suarez and Eriksen capped the scoring in the 89th minute.

Twente cruised to a 4-0 win over Utrecht as Luuk de Jong and Marc Janko scored two goals apiece, Feyenoord rolled to a 4-0 victory against Vitesse, Frantisek Kubik scored nine minutes from time to help Den Haag earn a 2-2 draw with PSV Eindhoven and AZ Alkmaar drew for the third time in four games as they finished 1-1 with Excelsior.

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.

Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.

MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .

''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''

Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.

He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.

''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''

Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.

Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.

With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
