08/05/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tom Glavine will once again shoot for career win No. 300 when he leads the New York Mets in the finale of a three-game series this evening against the Chicago Cubs at historic Wrigley Field.
Glavine owns 299 career victories and is just one win shy of becoming the 23rd pitcher to reach the illustrious plateau. He is 9-6 with a 4.38 ERA in 23 starts this season and 2-0 over the previous five trips to the mound.
The left-hander last toed the rubber on July 31 against Milwaukee and did not factor in the outcome. Glavine yielded just one run and two hits in six innings before the bullpen imploded for a 4-2 loss at Miller Park.
Glavine is 14-13 with six complete games (two shutouts) and a 3.64 earned run average in 34 career starts against the Cubs. He posted a no decision against the Cubs on May 14 this season, allowing four runs in six innings of a 5-4 victory at Shea Stadium.
Taking the ball for the Cubs on Sunday will be Glavine's former Atlanta teammate Jason Marquis, who is 8-6 with a 4.22 ERA over 22 starts this season.
Marquis owns a 2-1 record in his last three appearances, and defeated the Philadelphia Phillies his last time out on July 31. Marquis gave up three runs in six innings of a 7-3 victory at Wrigley Field. He is 6-2 in 12 home starts this season.
The right-hander is 5-4 with a 4.17 earned run average over 19 games (12 starts) in his career against the Mets. Marquis countered Glavine on May 14 and also did not record a decision. He yielded four runs through five innings of that 5-4 setback in Flushing, NY.
On Saturday, Jacque Jones collected three hits and knocked in a run as the Cubs used a six-run third inning to down the Mets, 6-2.
Ted Lilly pitched 7 2/3 strong innings, allowing two runs on seven hits for the Cubs, who ended a two-game slide. Lilly (12-5), who has won seven of his last eight starts, also struck out eight while walking one.
Mark DeRosa knocked in two runs in the victory for the Cubs, who trail Milwaukee by one game in the NL Central. The Brewers defeated the Phillies on Saturday night.
New York starter John Maine, who came into the game with wins in his last two starts, was roughed up for six runs on four hits in just 2 2/3 innings. Maine (12-6) also walked three, hit a batter and struck out one.
Moises Alou hit two home runs for the NL East-leading Mets, who had a three- game winning streak come to an end.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.

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).
