Reds activate 3B Encarnacion from DL

Baseball Betting Lines

07/03/2009 - Cincinnati, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Cincinnati third baseman Edwin Encarnacion was activated from the 60-day disabled list prior to Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Encarnacion had been on the DL since late April due to a chip fracture in his left wrist. He's hitting just .127 (8-for-63) in 19 games this season.

Encarnacion made 11 rehabilitation appearances at Triple-A Louisville and hit .270 with a pair of homers and eight RBI. At the time he was put on the DL by the parent club, Encarnacion was hitless in his last 12 at-bats and was mired in a 1-for-28 slump.

The Reds opened a roster spot for Encarnacion by placing infielder Danny Richar on the 15-day DL with a torn labrum in his left shoulder. He suffered the injury sliding head-first into home plate in the third inning of Wednesday's 1-0 win against Arizona.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
