A's hope to build a win streak versus Mariners
Baseball Betting Lines
09/08/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - At seven games off the pace in the American League West
Division, time is running out on the Oakland Athletics and their hopes for a
postseason berth. The A's will try to get a winning streak going tonight in
the finale of a three-game series versus the Seattle Mariners at the Coliseum.
After beating Seattle in Monday's series opener, the A's dropped a 7-5
decision last night behind starting pitcher Dallas Braden. The left-hander was
torched for six runs and nine hits in five innings to absorb the loss.
"It's big, just as far as perseverance is concerned. There's an old saying,
'Try hard and work hard, even when no one is looking,'" Braden said of the
team battling back. "I think that flows over into what we're doing."
Kurt Suzuki and Coco Crisp both had two RBI, while Steven Tolleson finished
with three hits for the A's, who have lost six of nine games and hope that
first-place Texas continues to falter down the stretch. The Rangers have lost
five straight.
The Athletics are 3-2 on a nine-game homestand and will send Gio Gonzalez to
the hill Wednesday night. Gonzalez has won three straight starts and is 6-2
with a 2.05 earned run average in his last 10 starts. He threw six shutout
innings and allowed four hits in an 8-0 triumph over the Angels last Friday,
improving to 13-8 in 28 starts to go along with a 3.12 ERA.
Gonzalez is 1-0 in two starts against Seattle this season and 2-1 in seven
career games, five of which have been starts, in this series.
Seattle has alternated wins and losses over its last six games and ended a
six-game slide by the Bay with Tuesday's win. It set the tone with five runs
in the second inning and got a home run from Adam Moore.
"We talked about putting ourselves in good offensive situations," said
Mariners interim manager Daren Brown. "I thought we were able to string some
hits together in the five-run inning, and I know that's something we haven't
seen a lot since I've been here, but it was good to see it tonight."
Moore and Casey Kotchman both ended with two RBI, while Ichiro Suzuki recorded
a pair of hits and knocked in a run for the Mariners, who got five innings of
two-run ball out of winning starter Doug Fister. David Aardsma later posted
his 29th save by getting the final out of the game.
Ichiro is riding a nine-game hitting streak in which he owns seven multi-hit
performances.
Taking the mound for the Mariners this evening will be Luke French, who has
won back-to-back and four of his last six starts. French pitched seven
scoreless innings of one-hit ball in Friday's 1-0 win over Cleveland to even
his 2010 mark at 4-4 in 11 games (8 starts) this season.
The left-hander recently lost to Oakland on August 11 and is 1-2 with a 5.89
earned run average in five career games (3 starts) against the Athletics.
Oakland has won six of eight meetings with the Mariners held at the Coliseum
this season, as well as eight of 14 overall matchups between the two clubs.

Washington Nationals' thing.
After failing to win more than three games in a row for the seventh time this
season, Washington instead seeks a series victory over the N
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.

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.
