Nats top Rockies in 10

Baseball Betting Lines

07/20/2007 - Washington, DC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Pinch hitter D'Angelo Jimenez slapped a game-winning single in the bottom of the 10th inning as Washington edged Colorado, 5-4, in the opener of a four-game set at RFK Stadium.

Austin Kearns led off the 10th by singling to right off LaTroy Hawkins (1-5). Kearns then advanced to second on Brian Schneider's sacrifice bunt before moving to third when Hawkins uncorked a wild pitch. Jimenez then rifled a single up the middle to win it.

Jesus Flores drove in a pair of runs for the Nationals, who have won six of nine games. Ryan Zimmerman and Ryan Langerhans added an RBI apiece for Washington.

Matt Chico started on the hill and surrendered four runs on seven hits over six innings en route to a no decision. Jon Rauch (4-2) earned the win after hurling a perfect 10th.

Troy Tulowitzki and Garrett Atkins both hit two-run home runs for the Rockies, who lost for the first time in four games.

Ubaldo Jimenez, who was making his 2007 debut for Colorado, allowed two runs on four hits in five-plus innings of work as the starter.

The Rockies quickly went on top with a pair of runs in the first. Willy Taveras walked to lead off the game and Tulowitzki deposited his 11th homer of the year over the wall in left.

The Nats got one right back in the home half when Zimmerman plated Ronnie Belliard, who had walked, with an RBI double in the left field corner.

Colorado gained some breathing room in the fourth when Atkins blasted a two- run homer. After Todd Helton walked, the Rockies third baseman poked his 14th of the year over the fence in left.

Washington drew within two runs in the sixth. With the bases loaded and two down, Langerhans hit what looked like a double-play grounder to first off pitcher Matt Herges. However, Langerhans raced down the line and beat the throw, enabling Robert Fick to score.

The Nats finally evened things in the eighth off Jeremy Affeldt thanks to some shoddy defense in right by Brad Hawpe. Ryan Church got on with a one-out single and moved up 90 feet when Kearns was hit by a pitch. After Schneider lined out Flores, a pinch hitter, sliced a single to right that Hawpe misplayed badly, enabling both runners to score.

Game Notes

The Nats' Dmitri Young was tossed in the bottom of the third inning. The bulky first baseman, who is hitting .341 this season, was called out on strikes with runners on the corners and one down. Young began to argue with home plate umpire Rob Draje and was tossed as he walked back toward the dugout. Fick replaced Young in the lineup. Young was 0-for-1 in the game and ended a a 10-game hitting streak...This was the first meeting between the two clubs this season. Colorado won all eight meetings during the 2006 campaign.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds

Super Bowl XLIII, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Super Bowl XLIII is now set, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers will meet each other on February 1st in Tampa's Raymond James Stadium to battle it out for the coveted Lombardi Trophy. The game kicks off at 6:00pm ET on NBC with announcers Al Michaels and John Madden covering the on-field action. Super Bowl XLIII betting odds at online bookmaker MySportsbook.com have the Steelers listed as an early -6.5 against the spread favorite.Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.

The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.

The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.

Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.

MySportsbook.com's Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds:

Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), -260 (Money line)

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)

Broncos -3.5 @ Bills +3.5
