Germano, Padres down D-Rays

Baseball Betting Lines

06/14/2007 - St. Petersburg, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Justin Germano tossed six scoreless innings to lead the San Diego Padres past the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, 7-1, in the rubber match of a three-game interleague series at Tropicana Field.

Germano (5-0), who entered the season with one major-league win in nine career appearances, won for the fifth time in his last six starts. The right- hander scattered just three hits, walked one and fanned four to lower his ERA to 2.36 since being promoted from Triple-A Portland.

Rob Bowen had three hits, including a pair of doubles for San Diego, which has won two straight following a four-game slide. Adrian Gonzalez also contributed two doubles, knocked in a run and scored once.

J.P. Howell (1-1) allowed two runs - one earned - on four hits in seven-plus innings of work. He walked three and fanned two as Tampa Bay dropped its second straight game but lost for just the fourth time in its last 11. Jonny Gomes hit a solo homer to account for the team's only run.

The Padres wasted little time in getting to Howell, who needed 26 pitches to get through the first inning. The young lefty yielded a one-out walk to Jose Cruz Jr. before Gonzalez followed with a double and Mike Cameron reached on Akinori Iwamura's fielding error, scoring Cruz for the 1-0 lead. Josh Bard grounded into a force out, but Kevin Kouzmanoff drew a four-pitch walk to load the bases before Khalil Greene grounded out to end the threat.

Tampa Bay had a chance to even things up in the fourth, but stranded Brendan Harris after his one-out double to left.

Heath Bell replaced Germano to start the seventh, and after striking out the first two batters, issued back-to-back walks to Carlos Pena and Ty Wigginton. Then, with Delmon Young batting, Bell uncorked a wild pitch that advanced both runners before fanning Young to retire the side.

San Diego added four more runs in the eighth to put the game out of reach. Bowen doubled to open the inning, prompting Milwaukee to bring in right-hander Gary Glover. Marcus Giles' sacrifice bunt moved Bowen to third, Cruz singled to plate Bowen, and Gonzalez followed by slapping his second double of the game, chasing home Cruz for the 3-0 edge.

Cameron went down swinging for the second out, but Geoff Blum hit a soft fly ball that dropped in left field to score Gonzalez, and Greene followed with a base hit to score Bard. Jay Witasick retired Hiram Bocachica on a pop up to retire the side.

Gomes broke up the shutout with a one-out, solo homer to left in the home half of the inning.

The Padres, however, scored two more in the ninth. Bowen doubled, Giles singled, and Witasick issued consecutive walks to Cruz and Gonzalez to force in a run. Cameron's sacrifice fly accounted for the final margin.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009

Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.

MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.

Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.

Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.

After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.

Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.

Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.

If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.

Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
