Zambrano rejoins Cubs

Baseball Betting Lines

07/30/2010 - Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago Cubs have reinstated pitcher Carlos Zambrano from the restricted list prior to Friday's road game against the Rockies.

The right-hander's placement on the restricted list stemmed from a dugout incident at U.S. Cellular Field on June 25.

After allowing four runs to the White Sox in the first inning of an eventual 6-0 loss, a visibly upset Zambrano was caught on camera screaming at his teammates and got into a heated exchange with first baseman Derrek Lee.

Zambrano began the season in the starting rotation before being shifted to the bullpen in late April. His outburst came in his fifth start since being reinserted into rotation.

For the season, he has compiled a 3-6 record and has pitched to a 5.66 earned- run average in 22 games (nine starts).

To make room for Zambrano, the Cubs granted reliever Bob Howry his unconditional release. The right-hander was 0-3 with a 5.66 ERA in 24 appearances for Chicago after joining the club in May.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds

With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season.  What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season.  Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all.  Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13).  Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two.  Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury.  Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven.  Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury.  Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.

In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons.  Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4.  Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1).  The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this.  No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
