Football Betting Lines

09/09/2010 - Davie, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Miami Dolphins released veteran center Jake Grove three days before the start of the 2010 regular season.

Grove, 30, missed time in the preseason due to a shoulder injury and lost his starting spot to Joe Berger, who filled in during the six games Grove missed due to injuries last year.

The Dolphins signed Grove as a free agent following the 2008 season. The Virginia Tech product had started 46 of the 54 games he appeared in for the Raiders the previous five campaigns.

To fill his spot on the roster, the Dolphins brought back guard Cory Procter, who was cut by the team last week. Procter played 44 games for the Cowboys from 2007-09.

Miami opens its season on Sunday at Buffalo.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.

Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.

El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.

MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds. 

Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.

New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.

Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
