Baseball Betting Lines

09/09/2007 - Detroit, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Detroit Tigers outfielder Curtis Granderson joined an exclusive club Sunday when he stole his 20th base of the season, becoming just the second player in big league history with at least 30 doubles, 20 triples, 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases in a single season.

Only Frank "Wildfire" Schulte had been able to accomplish the feat previously, doing so with the Chicago Cubs in 1911. Schulte had 30 doubles, 21 triples, 21 homers and 23 stolen bases.

The only other player with at least 20 homers, 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 steals in a season was Willie Mays, who did it with the New York Giants in 1957.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value

If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture.  Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).

For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot.  The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.

TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the  drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.

"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,'  it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."

"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.

Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash.  Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
