Revs fall to Morelia in SuperLiga final

Soccer Betting Lines

09/01/2010 - Foxborough, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A pair of second-half goals from Miguel Sabah propelled Morelia to a 2-1 win over the New England Revolution in the SuperLiga final on Wednesday.

The Mexican side was the stronger team in the first half, and only the crossbar prevented them from taking the lead.

A well-struck shot from 20 yards by Ismael Pineda in the 25th minute had goalkeeper Matt Reis easily beaten, but the ball slammed off the crossbar, while a corner kick seven minutes later was headed off the bar by Mauricio Romero.

Morelia continued to pressure the New England goal, and in the 65th minute, the breakthrough finally arrived.

Revs defender Darrius Barnes was called for a trip on Morelia's Luis Gabriel Rey inside the penalty area, and Sabah stepped to the spot and sent Reis the wrong way.

Sabah struck again 10 minutes later, this time on a stunning volley from 25 yards that sailed over the head of Reis and just under the crossbar.

New England responded four minutes later to reduce its deficit to one goal as Kevin Alston played a one-two with Zack Schilawski, took the return pass inside the area, and rolled the ball inside the left post with just the goalkeeper to beat.

Morelia was determined to kill off the match, but the Revs had one final chance deep into stoppage time as Cory Gibbs pounced on a loose ball inside the box and volleyed it into the legs of goalkeeper Federico Vilar.

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.

Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.

MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .

''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''

Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.

He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.

''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''

Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.

Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.

With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
