07/03/2008 - Houston, TX (Baseball Betting) - Houston Astros pitcher Roy Oswalt will miss his next scheduled start while recovering from a right hip abductor strain.
Oswalt, who left Monday's 4-1 win against the Los Angeles Dodgers with the injury, was slated to start Saturday in Atlanta. Chris Sampson is slated to get a spot start in his place.
In his most recent start, Oswalt was cruising, allowing only one run on six hits with no walks and nine strikeouts through six frames, but had to be lifted before throwing a pitch in the seventh.
Oswalt is now 7-8 this season with a 4.60 earned run average in 18 starts. If all goes well, the right-hander will start Tuesday in Pittsburgh, then July 13 against Washington in the last game before the All-Star Break.

How long Trent Green will remain sidelined is unknown. Coach Herm Edwards said Monday he will miss a second straight start Sunday when the Chiefs host the San Francisco 49ers.

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 Sportsbook.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.
