Money was flowing in on the favored Cubs at Las Vegas sportsbooks in the hours leading up to Game 7 of the World Series on Wednesday night in Cleveland.The Cubs are listed as small favorites, around -115, at most sportsbooks, with the underdog Cleveland Indians sitting at +105.Late Wednesday morning at sportsbook operator CG Technology, more than three times as much money had been bet on the Cubs as had been bet on the Indians.The money was 2-1 in favor of Chicago at MGMs sportsbooks, despite a $40,000 bet on the Indians placed Wednesday morning. The MGM, which fares much better overall with an Indians Game 7 win than with a Cubs victory, bumped up Clevelands odds to attract the bet, assistant manager Jeff Stoneback said.We still need the Indians, Stoneback added.The sentiment was echoed across Las Vegas.We took quite a bit of money on the Cubs, but I wouldnt say it was professional money, Bob Scucci, director of race and sports for Boyd Gaming in Las Vegas, said in an email. At Cubs -120, we are seeing the well-respected action on Cleveland.The sportsbooks at the Westgate and the Wynn also took early action on the Cubs, but the larger bets were expected to show up closer to the first pitch.Weve been taking huge five-figure bets on both sides the last couple of games, Wynn executive director Johnny Avello said. So where we are right now doesnt mean much.Trailing the Indians three games to one before the series shifted back to Cleveland on Tuesday, the Cubs were +320 underdogs to win the World Series. William Hills Nevada sportsbook took 97 bets on Chicago at that point, the largest a $2,200 wager that would net $7,040.Two large World Series futures bets on Cleveland are also on the line at William Hill.On Feb. 24, someone placed a $5,000 bet on Cleveland to win the World Series at 30-1 odds. The bettor would net $150,000 with an Indians victory Wednesday night. On June 18, someone bet $10,000 on the Indians at 14-1 odds. That bettor would net $140,000 if Cleveland wins.The over/under on Game 7 has attracted lopsided action.The total opened at 7 (-120 under) Tuesday night, but was quickly bet down to 6.5, where it sat Wednesday afternoon.We have taken $310 on the over, CG Technology vice president of race and sports Jason Simbal said. And we have taken just over five figures on the under.Wednesday nights game matches Indians ace Corey Kluber against Cubs right-hander Kyle Hendricks. If the line holds with the Cubs favored, this will be only the fourth game this season that Kluber has been an underdog. Gordon Hayward Jersey . The team said Saturday that Lopez was hurt during its 121-120 overtime loss at Philadelphia on Friday. The Nets said they would issue another update next week after consultation with their doctors. Boston Celtics Jerseys . Detroit and Boston are deadlocked, 1-1, and Tigers manager Jim Leyland could be forgiven if he was caught rationalizing instead of dissecting how his club could blow a 5-1 lead late in Game 2. http://www.authenticcelticsproshop.com/Larry-Bird-Jersey/ . The 25-year-old Japanese star has officially been posted by his club team, the Rakuten Golden Eagles. Reggie Lewis Jersey .

Kevin Mchale Celtics Jersey .Y. -- Marcell Dareus and the Buffalo Bills defence made life miserable for Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco. SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. -- Its not easy to advance to the Little League World Series. Bowling Green Eastern coach Scott Kelley knows that much.Its tougher for him to think his players would battle through the Great Lakes Region for the second straight year and find themselves in position to win a title again. But here the Kentucky kids are with a roster dotted with veterans -- an almost unattainable luxury.Its been a journey, Kelley said as his players ate an early dinner at a picnic Wednesday, hours before play begins in the 70th Little League World Series.One that picks up where it left off last year for infielder Spencer Newman and pitchers Devin Obee and Carson Myers. All three were on the Bowling Green team that went 2-2 last year.Now, theyre the old guys who started last year and helped lead Bowling Green to a 3-0 romp through the Great Lakes Regional into the 16-team championship field in South Williamsport.Both Devin and Carson pitched last year, Kelley said. That gives them that advantage of having been on the mound and in the spotlight in that situation. So that certainly helps. I think in terms of those three being leaders on the team, can kind of calm the nerves.It also helps that their teammates already got a taste of playing inside Howard J. Lamade Stadium where the finals will be played on Aug. 28. Bowling Green beat Essexville, Michigan, in their regional final in a game that was moved 10 hours east to the championship stadium after bad weather forced the games postponement in Indianapolis.But the postponement may also have a negative effect. Bowling Green might have to rely on one of its veterans early, too as ace pitcher Isaiah Head will be unavailable after pitching Mondays game.Hes throwing in the mid-70s, and throwing from three different angles and his offspeed has been pretty good, Kelley said. And hes been accurate. His strike percentage has been 75 percent, so hes been lights out for us. We were going all out to win that game and not worry about Friday.MORE THAN SPECTATORS NOWMaine-Endwell, Mid-Atlantic champions from Endwell, New York, is the closest thing to a local team competing in the tournament.Scott Rushs players know what its like to be the local favorite, too. Theyve bonded with last years runner-up, Red Land of Lewisberry, Pennsylvania, the team that ended Maine-Endwells season a year ago. Red Lands players reached out to wish their regional rivals luck after Rushs players did the same last year.Six Maine-Endwell players remain from last years team that fell to Red Land.I thhink theyve all dreamed about it since theyve been five, Rush said.dddddddddddd Theyve come just about every year to watch games. They were one step from being here, so they were obviously hopeful to make it here again this year.JAPANS DOMINANCEChofu Little League coaches and players celebrated with strangers who helped them take their team pictures on Wednesday.But the Tokyo team hopes to celebrate alone next weekend.Manager Koji Yamashita smiled when reminded that Tokyo teams have won four of the last five Little League Series titles. Hed like to see his hard-hitting bunch rake home Japans 11th championship a year after Kitasuna Little League beat Pennsylvanias ted Land 18-11 in the highest scoring final ever. Chofu looks like it has the talent to do so having averaged 14.25 runs per game while outscoring opponents 57-6 in their qualifying regional.I like that pace (winning four of last five), Yamashita said through a translator. They have a long life after this but it is a nice experience for them. We do our best all the time.TEXAS, CALIFORNIA LOOKING TO BREAK STREAKSTeams from Pennsylvania, California and Texas have been the most represented U.S. states in the field but aside from Red Lands deep run last year, none have won a title since Ocean View-Huntingdon Beach did so in 2011.Park View from Chula Vista, Calif., which won it all in 2009, will try to end that after advancing from the West Regional. Southwest Regional champion McAllister Park American out of San Antonio will try to end Texas 50-year championship drought.NEW AND FAMILIAR TEAMSLike Maine-Endwell, six other teams are making their LLWS debuts. First-time participants in the U.S. bracket include Johnston, Iowa; Warwick North, Rhode Island; and Bend North, Oregon. In the international bracket teams making their debuts are East Seoul, South Korea; Hills, Sydney, Australia; and San Nicolas, Nuevo Leon, Mexico.Goodlettsville, Tennessee, qualified for the first time since making a finals appearance in 2012 while Vancouver, British Columbia; Willemstad, Curacao; Emilia Italy; and Aguadulce, Panama have all appeared before.LOWER AGE CUTOFFOlder players wont be able to play in Little Leagues showcase event much longer. The league announced last fall it would move its age determination date from Dec. 31 to Aug. 31 for all its baseball divisions. It means this is the first of the last two years 13-year-olds will be eligible. ' ' '
