Bayne claims Nationwide pole at ORP

Autoracing Betting Lines

07/24/2010 - Clermont, IN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Trevor Bayne won his second consecutive pole in the Nationwide Series by posting the fastest lap in Saturday's qualifying for the Kroger 200 at O'Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis.

Bayne turned a lap of 110.117 m.p.h. around the short 0.686-mile oval for his third career pole in the series. His first pole came one year ago at ORP.

Last Saturday at Gateway International Raceway, Bayne started on the pole and drove to a third-place finish in his No.99 Toyota for Michael Waltrip Racing.

"This is such a great experience to be able to sit on the pole two weeks in a row," Bayne said.

Steve Wallace will start alongside Bayne on the front row after a qualifying lap of 109.497 m.p.h.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. qualified third, followed by Paul Menard and Kyle Busch.

Aric Almirola, Colin Braun, Brad Keselowski, the current points leader, Justin Allgaier and Matt DiBenedetto completed the top-10.

Carl Edwards, who won last year's race at ORP, qualified 13th. Edwards also won at Gateway after he nudged Keselowski from behind and spun him into the wall coming out of the final turn of the last lap.

Earlier this week, NASCAR penalized Edwards with a 60-point loss, fined him $25,000 and placed him on probation until December 31 for aggressive driving. NASCAR also placed Keselowski on probation for the remainder of the year for his actions on the track at Gateway.

All 43 drivers who attempted qualifying made the field.

The 200-lap race at ORP is scheduled to start around 8:00 p.m. (et).

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.''

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship.  Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92.  After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points.  Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1.  Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years.  With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed.  UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern.  Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier.  OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak.  Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four.  It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta.  But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
