Baseball Betting Lines
08/31/2010 - Atlanta, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Atlanta Braves made several roster moves on Tuesday, including recalling outfielder Nate McLoouth from Triple-A Gwinnett.
Also, the team recalled first baseman Troy Glaus from his rehabilitation assignment at Gwinnett and stated that he will be activated on Thursday and optioned pitcher Kenshin Kawakami to Danville of the Rookie Advanced league.
Atlanta also announced its September call-ups as pitchers Mike Dunn, Scott Proctor and Kawakami, catcher J.C. Boscan and first baseman Freddie Freeman will join the team on Wednesday.
Glaus, who has been on the DL since August 18 with a sore left knee, is batting .239 with 16 home runs and 70 runs batted in over 115 games this season. However, he has been mired in a prolonged slump, hitting just .173 over his last 51 games since June 13.
McLouth has batted .168 with three homers and 14 RBI in 62 games with Atlanta this season.
Kawakami is just 1-6 in 16 games (15 starts) with a 4.75 earned run average.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
