Moving Today's Market

While the stock market ended the week with a bang, the sports market is drifting listlessly through its Friday finale. In the day's marquee MLB match-ups, Cole Hamels and the Phils take on Johan Santana and the Mets, and the ageless Greg Maddux travels to Arizona to face Danny Haren and the D'backs.

In the NHL the homestanding Red Wings are heavy favorites to go up 3 games to 2 against Nashville, while the Rangers and Dallas try to close out their series on the road.

Key Market Moves

Game 907 Brewers @ Reds

The Brewers travel to Cincy with flamethrower Ben Sheets set to toe the rubber against the erratic Bronson Arroyo. Sheets and the rest of the Brew Crew opened as –140 road favorites. As game time approaches, they are laying as low as –115 (Catalina) as a tremor of public support gyrates toward the Reds. Perhaps the reborn Ken Griffey Jr. and struggling left slugger Adam Dunn's power have figured prominently into this mix.
