Baseball Betting Lines

06/12/2010 - Milwaukee, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Justin Smoak hit a two-run double and Josh Hamilton blasted a solo home run, as the Texas Rangers held on to beat the Milwaukee Brewers, 4-3, in the middle portion of a three-game interleague series at Miller Park.

Texas closer Neftali Feliz was called on to protect a three-run lead in the bottom of the ninth, but Milwaukee loaded the bases with one out. Rickie Weeks lined an RBI single to right, trimming the Brewers' deficit to 4-2, before Chris Ray replaced Feliz on the mound.

Corey Hart plated a run on a fielder's choice, but Prince Fielder flied out to end the game.

Scott Feldman (4-6) navigated his way through six scoreless innings for Texas. The right-hander scattered four hits and walked three while recording six strikeouts.

Ian Kinsler had two hits and scored twice for the Rangers, who have won four of their last five games.

Milwaukee starter Manny Parra (1-4) gave up three runs on five hits with three walks and eight strikeouts over six full frames to absorb the loss.

Texas plated a pair in the first inning. Michael Young and Kinsler each stroked one-out singles. After Hamilton was called out on strikes, Smoak ripped a double down the left-field line to give the visitors the early lead.

The Brewers had two on to start the bottom of the first after Feldman hit Weeks with a pitch and walked Hart. Weeks advanced to third on a fielder's choice, but Ryan Braun grounded into an inning-ending double play.

Feldman escaped another jam in the second. A two-out walk to Parra loaded the bases, but Texas' Opening Day starter retired Weeks on a ground ball to second.

The Brewers had a runner on third with one out in the fourth and failed to score. Milwaukee had another man in scoring position in the next inning when Weeks led off with a double. However, the speedy second baseman was thrown out attempting to pilfer third.

Hamilton homered to center field to give Texas a 3-0 lead in the sixth. Parra had retired 11 batters in a row prior to the blast from Hamilton.

David Murphy grounded a single up the middle to score Kinsler in the eighth.

Braun doubled home Weeks in the bottom of the inning.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines


Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow.  Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season.   Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints.  These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order.  As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS.  The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens.  The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.

MySportsbook.com Week 1 odds:

Saints +6 @ Colts -6

Falcons @ Vikings (pick ‘em)

Panthers @ Rams (pick ‘em)

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
