Lille, the defending Ligue 1 champion, is currently third in the standings and seven points behind first-place PSG.

 

Berlin, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Hertha Berlin added defender Felix Bastians from Freiburg and signed defender Christian Lell to a contract extension, with both players inking contracts through the summer of 2016. Bastians, 23, played for Germany at various youth levels. He spent time in the youth systems of Borussia Dortmund and Nottingham Forest, where he first broke into the senior team in 2005.

 

Lell, 27, joined Hertha from Bayern Munich two years ago and previously agreed to extend his stay with the club, but has now officially signed a new deal.

 

Paisley, Scotland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - St. Mirren signed Jim Goodwin to a new two-year contract Thursday, locking up its captain through the summer of 2014. Goodwin, 30, started his career with Celtic and later played at Stockport, Scunthorpe, Huddersfield, Oldham, and Hamilton before joining St. Mirren last January.

 

Capped once by the Republic of Ireland, the midfielder was a target of rival Hibernian this winter.

 

Van Tornhout has also played for Club Brugge in Belgium, Sparta and Roda in the Netherlands, and Cypriot side Enosis Neon Paralimni.

 

"We had him on trial last year and followed him ever since," said Earthquakes manager Frank Yallop. "He's an intelligent, experienced player who should help with the depth on our squad."

 

The German-born Turkish striker also played for Vestel Manisaspor in Turkey, and represented his country at the youth level.

 

Per league and team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.

 

San Jose, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The San Jose Earthquakes signed goalkeeper Jon Busch to a new contract Thursday. Busch, 35, joined the Earthquakes in March of 2010 and has 14 shutouts - seven in each of his two seasons - for the squad. He started 33 of 34 regular-season matches last year.

 

Per league and team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship

(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.

One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.

Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.
