Brewers P Gallardo put on DL, will miss All-Star Game

Baseball Betting Lines

07/06/2010 - Milwaukee, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Yovani Gallardo was put on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday due to a strained left rib cage muscle.

Gallardo suffered the injury during the third inning of Sunday's 7-1 loss at St. Louis. On the same day, Gallardo was named an All-Star for the first time in his career, but now the 24-year-old right-hander will have to miss the mid- summer classic.

For the season, Gallardo has compiled an 8-4 record with a 2.58 ERA in 18 games.

The Brewers also activated pitcher Doug Davis from the 15-day DL on Tuesday. Davis, who has been sidelined due to a mild case of pericarditis, an acute inflammation of the lining around the heart, is scheduled to return to the rotation for Friday's home game against Pittsburgh.

Davis is 1-4 with a 7.56 earned run average over his first seven starts of the season.

Super Bowl XLIV Odds

Super Bowl XLIII isn't even a week old yet and oddsmakers have already released Super Bowl XLIV odds.

Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers winning Super Bowl 43, the New England Patriots are 8/1 favorites to win Super Bowl 44.

Bet Super Bowl XLIV Future Odds

With their 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, the Steelers became the latest NFL champion. But believe it or not, oddsmakers from online sports book MySportsbook.com don't have the Steelers the favorites to win Super Bowl XLIV next season.

That honor belongs to the New England Patriots, who are 8/1 favorites to win despite not even qualify for the postseason in 2008. The Pats also have a major decision to make regarding what to do with Matt Cassel, who played well in Tom Brady's (knee surgery) absence last year but is also a free agent this offseason.

Ironically, the Steelers aren't even oddsmakers second choice to win Super Bowl 44, as the Dallas Cowboys are listed right behind the Patriots at 9/1 despite not making the playoffs themselves. Clearly oddsmakers think the public will hop back on the Cowboys' bandwagon considering the immense talent they have and the opening of a brand new stadium.

After Dallas, then comes Pittsburgh at 10/1, but they share those odds with the New York Giants, who won Super Bowl XLII. The Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers round out the top six teams at 12/1, while the Baltimore Ravens (14/1), Tennessee Titans (16/1), Carolina Panthers (18/1) and Philadelphia Eagles (18/1) complete the top 10.

The NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals got no love from oddsmakers as they were established as a 30/1 long shot to win next year's Super Bowl. They share those same odds with the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers – two teams that didn't even qualify for the postseason. Other long shots are the Kansas City Chiefs (100/1), Detroit Lions (100/1), St. Louis Rams (75/1) and Oakland Raiders (75/1).

To see a complete list of all the team's odds to win Super Bowl XLIV, check below.
