Rezai, Errani land in Palermo quarters

Tennis Betting Lines

07/15/2010 - Palermo, Italy (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Hot Frenchwoman Aravane Rezai and former champion and 2009 runner-up Sara Errani recorded second-round victories Thursday at the $220,000 Palermo International tennis tournament.

The second-seeded Rezai, fresh off her clay-court title in Bastad last week, got past Colombia's Mariana Duque Marino 7-6 (7-3), 6-3 on the red clay at Country Time Club.

Rezai's quarterfinal opponent on Friday will be Italian wild card Romina Oprandi.

The third-seeded Errani, meanwhile, continued her winning ways in Palermo with a 6-0, 7-6 (7-4) victory over Croatian qualifier Mirjana Lucic.

The 5-foot-4 Errani is seeking her third straight trip into the Palermo final, having titled here in 2008 and lost to Flavia Pennetta in last year's all-Italian championship tilt.

Errani's quarterfinal opponent on Friday will be fifth-seeded Wimbledon quarterfinalist Kaia Kanepi, as the Estonian cruised past Romania's Ioana Raluca Olaru 6-1, 6-2 on Day 4 here.

One other second-round affair saw the aforementioned Oprandi straight-set Slovenian Masa Zec Peskiric 6-4, 7-5. Oprandi is one of three Italians into the round of eight.

Friday's other quarterfinals will pit a top-seeded Pennetta against Spanish qualifier Nuria Llagostera Vives and eighth-seeded German Julia Goerges against 36-year-old American Jill Craybas. The world No. 12 Pennetta beat Errani in last year's final here and was the Palermo runner-up back in 2004.

Stanley Cup betting

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.

The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.

MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.

Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.

Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.

El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.

MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds

Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.

New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.

Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
