Baseball Betting Lines

06/14/2007 - Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Houston Astros shortstop Adam Everett fractured his right fibula in Thursday's 6-5 11-inning loss to Oakland and was placed on the 15-day disabled list after the game.

Everett suffered the injury after colliding with teammate Carlos Lee in the fourth inning. Everett was backpedaling for a fly ball as Lee slid into him, sending Everett tumbling to the ground. Neither player caught the ball. Lee got up, but Everett remained on all fours until getting carted off the field.

The 30-year old Everett is hitting .228 with two home runs and 15 RBI in 63 games for the Astros this season. His estimated recovery time is four to eight weeks.

To replace him on the roster, the club recalled infielder Eric Bruntlett from Triple A Round Rock.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.

The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.

The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.

Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
