Harang has start moved back; Hopper out for season

Baseball Betting Lines

07/04/2008 - Cincinnati, OH (Baseball Betting) - Cincinnati Reds right-hander Aaron Harang is having his next start moved back to Tuesday because of stiffness in his right forearm.

Harang has been struggling this season despite being a candidate for the Cy Young award the past couple seasons, posting a 3-10 record with a 4.47 ERA. This comes a year after posting a 16-6 record with an ERA of 3.73.

Adding to the injury bug for the Reds is Norris Hopper, who will have season- ending Tommy John surgery on his right elbow after an MRI revealed a torn ulnar collateral ligament.

Hopper played in 26 games this season, batting just .200 and only .160 since he returned from the disabled list on June 18.

The 29-year-old outfielder is expected to be ready for spring training next year.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds

With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.

Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season.  Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money. 

This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy.  A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.

Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:

Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame)
Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma)
Troy Smith (QB, Ohio State)
Michael Bush (RB, Louisville)
Steve Slaton (RB, West Virginia)
Brian Brohm (QB, Louisville)
