09/07/2010 -
Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago Cubs activated right-hander
Carlos Silva from the 15-day disabled list on Tuesday, in time to make his
first start in over a month.
The Cubs announced on Saturday that Silva, who hadn't taken the hill due to a
heart issue, would make his return to the rotation against the Houston Astros.
Silva's last performance came on August 1, when he was removed from a start
against the Rockies in Denver due to an abnormal heart rate. Since that time,
the 31-year-old underwent a cardiac ablation procedure to steady his
heartbeat.
In his first season with the Cubs, Silva has gone 10-5 with a 3.92 earned-run
average in 20 starts.
The Cubs made five additional roster moves Tuesday, calling up five players
from their Triple-A affiliate in Iowa.
Chicago recalled pitchers Justin Berg and Jeff Samardzija, along with
outfielder Sam Fuld, while selecting the contracts of infielder Bobby Scales
and outfielder Brad Snyder.

Chiefs' Treen Green out for Sunday's game
How long Trent Green will remain sidelined is unknown. Coach Herm Edwards said Monday he will miss a second straight start Sunday when the Chiefs host the San Francisco 49ers.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
