Tuesday Betting Rundown
As everyone at OffshoreInsiders.com is trying to figure out what politically incorrect statement Tony Kornheiser has to apologize for—yet doesn’t have to apologize for bringing up Andy Reid’s sons legal problems—we will take a look at Tuesday information to beat the sportsbooks. All we know is it had something to do with Mexican Independence day, which is not Cinco de Mayo.
The books though are telling us that many sharpies exploited the fantasy football betting odds on proposition bets involving Donovan McNabb, Desean Jackson, Terrell Owens—basically everyone but Jerry Jones and the ghost of Leon Lett’s Super Bowl blunder fumble.

Yost Fired
Surely BetUs Sportsbook will later today post odds on who will be the next manager fired after Ned Yost was let go today.

Other Notable Events
Josh Beckett (12-9, 4.10 ERA) will get the ball for the Red Sox on Tuesday night, while Andy Sonnanstine (13-7, 4.47 ERA) starts for the Rays. Beckett has given up just one earned run on 10 hits over his last 11 innings of work, and he held the Rays to one earned run over six innings last time out. Sonnanstine held the Red Sox to one unearned run on four hits over seven innings in his start against them September 10.
The other big matchup on the diamond on Tuesday night sees the Cubs playing host to the Brewers.
