Ohlendorf could be done for year
Baseball Betting Lines
08/24/2010 - Pittsburgh, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Pirates might have lost the services of pitcher Ross Ohlendorf for the year.
Ohlendorf was diagnosed with a strained lat muscle behind his right shoulder after an MRI was taken Tuesday morning. The results didn't show any damage to ligaments or to the rotator cuff, and nothing in the MRI was deemed worthy of surgery.
Ohlendorf had left Monday's 10-2 loss to St. Louis with the injury after failing to retire the first two batters of the game. He fell to 1-11 on the season after being charged with two runs.
It was the second game Ohlendorf left in the first inning this season due to injury. He left a July 28 contest against Colorado after being struck by a Troy Tulowitzki line drive.
The 28-year-old's next start was scheduled for Sunday at Milwaukee.

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.
