Hamilton again tabbed AL Player of the Month

Baseball Betting Lines

06/02/2008 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Texas Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton was named the American League Player of the Month for May, the second consecutive monthly honor for the major league RBI leader.

Hamilton becomes just the fourth player and first in the AL to earn the distinction in the opening two months of the season, compiling a .322 average (37-for-115) with eight home runs, 29 RBI and 22 runs for the month.

The first overall pick in the 1999 MLB Draft topped the AL in RBI and total bases (71) for the month and ranked second in extra-base hits (16).

After personal problems nearly derailed the five-tool player's career, Hamilton is unexpectedly challenging for the AL Triple Crown, leading in home runs (15) and RBI (63), while ranking third in batting average (.328).

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.

A two-time Pro Bowler, Green was going into a feet-first hook slide when he was knocked unconscious by a thunderous, head-snapping hit from Cincinnati's Robert Geathers.

Oddsmakers at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com currently have the Chiefs listed as 7-point favorites versus the 49ers.

The 49ers got beat by Philadelphia 38-24 as a 6.5-point underdog last week. The combined score went OVER the posted over/under total (42.5).

Alex Smith completed 27-of-46 passes for 293 yards with a touchdown. Michael Robinson rushed for 29 yards and a pair of touchdowns on five carries.

The Chiefs lost 9-6 to Denver last week as an 11-point underdog. The combined score was well UNDER the posted over/under total (38).
