Baseball Betting Lines

08/27/2008 - Baltimore, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Melvin Mora, Aubrey Huff and Kevin Millar all homered as Baltimore avoided a sweep by routing Chicago, 11-3, in the finale of a three-game set at Camden Yards.

Brian Roberts was 2-for-5 with three RBI for the Orioles, who snapped a five- game skid. Juan Castro was 2-for-3 with a pair of RBI while Luke Scott and Lou Montanez were also 2-for-3 with two runs scored each.

Radhames Liz (5-3), making his second start since returning from a stint in the minors, allowed two runs on three hits in 5 1/3 innings to pick up the win.

The White Sox quickly deadlocked things in the second after Konerko belted a one-out, solo homer to left, his 13th of the year.

Chicago closed to within a run in the third thanks to Thome's two-out RBI single to right.

The Orioles got that run back in the fourth. Scott singled to left, advanced to second when Castro drew a one-out walk and came around to score on Roberts' double to left.

Baltimore kept pulling away with two more runs in the fifth off Lance Broadway. Scott started things with a two-out walk and Montanez followed with a double before Castro came through with a two-run single up the middle.

The O's tacked on another run in the seventh. Scott doubled to center, advanced 90-feet on Montanez's infield single and scored when Castro grounded into a 6-4-3 double play.

Dye led off the eighth with his 32nd homer of the year to make it an 8-3 game.

The laugher was on in the home-half on the eighth when the Orioles showed off their power against Broadway. Mora slapped a one-out single to right and Huff followed by belting his 29th homer of the year. After Ramon Hernandez grounded out, Millar accounted for the final margin by lining his 19th homer of the year over the wall in left.

Stanley Cup betting

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.

The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.

MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.

Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
