07/23/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Red Sox are sure to receive an emotional boost in the form of Jon Lester tonight, when Boston begins a four-game series with the Cleveland Indians at Jacobs Field.
Lester is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket to make the start tonight for the Red Sox nearly a year after being diagnosed with a treatable form of lymphoma.
The 23-year-old made 15 starts for the Red Sox last season, going 7-2 with a 4.76 earned run average, but baseball took a back seat after his last start on August 23 of 2006. Days later, it was announced that Lester had lymphoma.
The left-hander underwent treatment and was then brought along slowly by Boston, which sent him to Single-A on a rehab assignment to begin the season. He then hit a minor bump in the road on May 2 when he experienced muscle cramping in his left forearm.
After recovering from that injury, Lester was reinstated from the disabled list and optioned to Pawtucket on June 11 and has gone 4-5 with a 3.89 ERA in 14 starts.
Lester, who is replacing the struggling Julian Tavarez in the rotation, faced Cleveland once last year on August 2 and received a no-decision after allowing three runs on eight hits over six innings.
Reliever Joel Pineiro is expected to be designated for assignment to make room on the roster for Lester.
Boston was again without David Ortiz on Sunday for the second straight game, but saw Manny Ramirez and Mike Lowell supplement the power loss with a three- run homer each in the club's 8-5 victory over the White Sox.
Ortiz had an MRI taken on his left shoulder Saturday that revealed no structural damage and is listed as day-to-day. However, he could be sidelined until Wednesday.
Coco Crisp added three hits and Ramirez scored two runs as the Red Sox won three straight over the White Sox after dropping the series opener. Tim Wakefield (11-9) earned the win despite being charged with six hits and four runs in 6 1/3 innings.
The Red Sox have matched the New York Yankees current three-game winning streak to maintain their 7 1/2-game lead for first place in the American League East.
The Indians, meanwhile, won three of four against the Rangers over the weekend, including an 8-3 victory on Sunday. Josh Barfield went 3-for-4 with two runs scored and a pair of RBI to pace Cleveland.
Casey Blake also had three hits, including a pair of doubles, for the Indians, who trail Detroit by one game for the top spot in the AL Central and hold a 2 1/2-game edge over Seattle for the wild card spot.
Paul Byrd (8-4) started for Cleveland and pitched 5 2/3 innings, giving up two runs on three hits.
Jake Westbrook will try again for his first win since returning from the disabled list when he takes the mound for the Indians tonight. Westbrook received a no-decision on May 2 against Toronto before being sidelined for over six weeks due to a left abdominal strain.
He returned on June 24 and has gone 0-3 in five starts since to extend his winless streak to a career-high tying six starts that he set from June 19 through July 15 of 2004.
In his last start on Wednesday against the White Sox, the right-hander took the loss to fall to 1-5 on the year with a 6.07 ERA after yielding four runs on seven hits over six innings of a 5-1 setback.
Westbrook is 3-1 with a 4.23 ERA in five career starts against Boston.
The Red Sox and Indians met for three games in Boston in late May, with the Red Sox taking two of three.

It's less than a month until the NHL hockey betting season opens at MySportsbook.com and preparations are underway for another battle in the race to hoist Lord Stanley's mug in 2007.
As cup crazy fans prepare to place their bets, one online sportsbook ,MySportsbook.com, is offering hockey betting lines on the 2007/2007 Stanley Cup , who will bring it home this upcoming season.
Despite a poor showing in last season's playoffs and the loss of Steve Yzerman to retirement, the Detroit Red Wings are early favourites at this online sportsbook with wagering odds of 6-1. The Wings will look to offensive powerhouse Pavel Datsyuk and newly appointed captain Nicklas Lidstrom to lead one of the league's most prominent franchises.
Always a threat are the Ottawa Senators, with newly acquired goaltender Martin Gerber from the Stanley Cup champion ,Carolina Hurricanes. The Sens are second best in the rankings at a 7-1 bet, and odds makers at this sportsbook are optimistic that the Ottawa squad will fare better than last season's Eastern Conference semi-final upset to the Buffalo Sabres.
Also worth noting are the defending Stanley Cup champs Carolina Hurricanes, a 10-1 bet to repeat. Behind the Canes are the New Jersey Devils, Calgary Flames, Buffalo Sabres, Philadelphia Flyers, and Anaheim Mighty Ducks all sit at 12-1. In the basement are the Washington Capitals, Chicago Blackhawks, and St. Louis Blues who all have 100-1 odds to win.

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
