Bay out of Mets lineup

Baseball Betting Lines

07/28/2010 - Flushing, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jason Bay is experiencing concussion-like symptoms several days after crashing into the outfield wall while making a catch against the Dodgers and was not in the Mets' lineup against St. Louis on Tuesday.

Bay made a tremendous catch at Chavez Ravine last Friday as he collided with the wall for the final out of the second inning. He stayed in the game and went 2-for-4 with three RBI and also played in the final two games in the series.

However, he started noticing the symptoms on Sunday and is expected to miss a few games as he is being re-evaluated.

"The doc said when the headaches go away I can ramp up activity and I could be back very soon. We're just going to take the next couple of days and just see if it gets better," Bay said.

Bay has not yet lived up to the hefty four-year, $66 million free agent contract he signed with the Mets in the offseason. The 31-year-old is hitting .259 with just six home runs and 47 RBI through 95 games, well below the 36- homer, 119-RBI season he had last year in Boston.

Football Betting: Defensive Rookie of the Year Awards

Oddsmakers have released the odds for the 2009 AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award and Seattle Seahawks linebacker Aaron Curry has been made the opening favorite.

Bet on NFL Football

Seattle took Curry with the fourth overall pick in April's NFL draft and plan on inserting him into its starting lineup right away. The Hawks traded linebacker Julian Peterson in the offseason, so Curry is expected to have a significant role in Seattle's defense next year and that's one of the primary reasons he is the favorite to win the NFL ROY Award.

Oddsmakers from online sportsbook MySportsbook.com have made Curry a 5/1 favorite to win this year's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award. Given that he was the best defensive prospect in this year's draft and how he'll have plenty of opportunities to make plays in '09, Curry offers a ton of value at 5/1.

Another thing working for Curry is the position he plays. A linebacker has won the defensive ROY award six straight times and eight of the last nine years. Jerod Mayo, Patrick Willis, DeMeco Ryans, Shawne Merriman, Jonathan Vilma, Terrell Suggs, Kendrell Bell and Brian Urlacher were the most recent linebackers to take home the award.

Following Curry at 5/1 are Tyson Jackson (Chiefs) at 7/1, James Laurinaitas (Rams) at 8/1, Brian Orakpo (Redskins) at 10/1, Rey Maualuga (Bengals) at 10/1 and Jerry Peria (Falcons) at 10/1.

All the players mentioned above are expected to start for their respective teams, but Jackson and Peria are going to have a tough time being recognized on a national level given they're both defensive linemen. D-linemen rarely put up the numbers that it takes to win an individual award like the ROY.

A couple of players with some value are Clay Matthews (Packers) at 12/1 and Larry English (Chargers) at 15/1. Matthews is expected to start at outside linebacker in Green Bay's new 3-4 defense and could rack up a ton of tackles. English, who was an impressive player at Northern Illinois, is expected to be a situational pass rusher for the Chargers and could rack up a ton of sacks.
