Milan Down Half Play

Soccer Betting Lines

Everton has made two key acquisitions in January, landing American international Landon Donovan on loan and signing Manchester United midfielder Darron Gibson to a four-and-a-half year deal. David Moyes hopes that these two pieces can help the Toffees avoid losing their third straight league result when Everton heads to Villa Park to face Aston Villa.

 

Elsewhere on Saturday, Liverpool hopes to bounce back from a 3-0 drubbing at the hands of Manchester City when it hosts Stoke City, Blackburn looks to climb out of the cellar with a result against Fulham, and West Bromwich aims to avoid dropping its third straight game as it hosts Norwich City.

 

Wolfsburg, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Wolfsburg signed Switzerland defender Ricardo Rodriguez from FC Zurich on Friday on a 4 1/2-year contract. Rodriguez, 19, becomes the 10th new signing for Wolfsburg manager Felix Magath this winter. He debuted for Switzerland last year, and has already appeared in four matches.

 

Paris, France (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Carlo Ancelotti has led three European giants in Italy and England, and the Italian now has the task of developing a fourth in France. Ancelotti was named PSG's new coach late last month, and he inherits a team at the top of the Ligue 1 standings after the first half of the season. But, the former Juventus, AC Milan and Chelsea boss needs to produce better results.

 

Kombouare was under pressure after the spending spree - and every result, even wins - were scrutinized by the club's free-spending owners.

 

PSG sporting director Leonardo turned to fellow countryman Ancelotti, who is no stranger to pressure as Juve, AC Milan and Chelsea were all clubs that were not interested in just being among the best.

 

"We have to work hard to improve and I don't know how long that will take," he said.

 

Like Ancelotti, Javier Pastore will continue to shoulder a lot of pressure - only on the field. Pastore has six goals, but as the most expensive offseason addition at around $50 million, he has still disappeared at times.

 

PSG had already been eliminated from the Europa League, so the French Cup and Ligue 1 title are both targets for Ancelotti. The first step is a victory this week, or his tenure will be off to a rocky start.

Albert Pujols to be This Year's Home Run Champ Says Online Sportsbook

Barry Bonds is a 50-1 long shot to be this year's home run champ odds.  The favorite to be this year's home run champ is none other than Albert Pujols, however.

Now that Barry Bonds is signed and in Giants camp, it is on to his pursuit of all of sports most prestigious records: the all-time home run mark. Bonds sits just 21 homers shy of tying Hank Aaron for the career mark at 755. Word out of Giants’ camp is that Bonds is the healthiest he has been in a few years. Bonds is just two seasons removed from his injury riddled 2005 campaign where he played in only 14 games and hit only 5 home runs. He did come back last year and had a solid season hitting .270 with 26 bombs. All eyes will be on Bonds this spring and summer not only because of his home run chase but his highly publicized steroid abuse allegations. If and when Bonds breaks the record, he surely will not get the positive attention one should for breaking a record that was once thought of as “unbreakable”. Despite Bonds decent season last year, he is just 50-1 at MySportsbook.com to lead the MLB in long balls this season.

Not surprisingly, the favorites to go deep the most times this season are Albert Pujols 5-1, Ryan Howard 6-1, David Ortiz 8-1 and Alex Rodriguez 12-1. With 49 homers, Pujols finished second in the National League behind Howard (58). Pujols is considered the favorite due to the consistent power numbers that he has posted since breaking into the league in 2001. Also one must consider the fact that he played in 16 fewer games then Howard did due to an injury. Howard smashed 58 homers in his first complete season of big league play en route to the National League MVP odds award. He silenced his critics by successfully hitting left-handed pitching. Howard also displayed the ability to use his power to the opposite field. Two attributes which should keep Howard amongst the league leaders in long balls for years to come. From the American League representatives, David Ortiz leads the field. Ortiz was second in the majors last year with 54 home runs. Except for 1999 when he only played in 10 games, Ortiz has improved on his home run numbers each year he has been in the majors (1997).
