Andy Pettitte to skip start with inflamed elbow

Baseball Betting Lines

05/07/2010 -

BOSTON (AP) -Andy Pettitte will skip a start because of an elbow problem.

New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi said before Friday night's game against the Boston Red Sox that it's in Pettitte's and the team's best interests that the left-hander miss his next regular outing even though he doesn't want to.

Pettitte left his start against the Baltimore Orioles after five innings on Wednesday night and the Yankees went on to a 7-5 win in which they nearly squandered a five-run lead. An MRI showed mild inflammation in his left elbow after he felt stiffness above the elbow and in the back of his pitching arm.

The 37-year-old Pettitte is off to an outstanding start with a 4-0 record and a 2.08 ERA.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship.  Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92.  After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points.  Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1.  Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years.  With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed.  UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern.  Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier.  OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak.  Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four.  It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta.  But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
