07/22/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Cincinnati Reds will conclude their 11-game road trip this afternoon when they also wrap a four-game set with the Florida Marlins at Dolphin Stadium.
Bronson Arroyo appears to be righting the ship to his season and will try for his third win in four decisions today for the Reds. Arroyo is 2-1 over his last three outings, including Tuesday when he earned the win behind seven shutout innings in Atlanta. The right-hander allowed just three hits and struck out nine while improving to 4-10 on the year with a 4.51 earned run average.
Arroyo has yet to post a decision while pitching to a 3.48 ERA in four games (one start) lifetime against the Marlins.
Rick Vanden Hurk will attempt to post his third straight victorious decision when he toes the rubber for Florida. Vanden Hurk twirled five scoreless frames in a win over the Cardinals on Tuesday, scattering five hits and three walks while fanning six. The victory improved the right-hander to 3-2 this year while lowering his ERA to 7.15.
Vanden Hurk has never faced the Reds in his career.
On a day filled with off-the-field news, the Marlins won their second game in a row after besting the Reds 11-1 on Saturday.
Hanley Ramirez, Jason Wood and Matt Treanor all homered for Florida, which moved to 5-4 on a 10-game homestand. Byung-Hyun Kim (5-5) got the win as he gave up just one run on five hits in seven innings of work.
The big news for Florida, though, was that pitcher Scott Olsen was reportedly arrested Saturday morning after he did not pull over his car during a traffic stop.
According to the Miami Herald, Olsen was charged with driving under the influence, resisting arrest with violence and fleeing and eluding a police officer.
The incident occurred after the 23-year-old Olsen returned to Florida's rotation after serving a two-game suspension by the team for insubordination.
The newspaper also reported that Olsen was clocked for speeding and would not pull over his car. After he finally did stop the car at his home in Aventura, the Herald reported that he fought with officers and would not take a breathalyzer test.
Edwin Encarnacion knocked in the lone run while Bobby Livingston (2-1) was tagged with his first career loss for giving up three runs on eight hits in six-plus innings of work for the Reds, who have dropped their past two after a season-high four-game winning streak and are 5-5 on their road trip.
Cincinnati won four of six from the Marlins last season and has won seven of its last 12 in South Beach.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
