Stammen strong, so are Nats' bats as Oswalt's Philly debut a dud
Baseball Betting Lines
07/30/2010 -
Washington, DC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Josh Willingham and Roger Bernadina both
stroked a two-run double to back a solid outing by Craig Stammen, as
Washington cooled off the surging Phillies, 8-1, and, in doing so, spoiled Roy
Oswalt's Philadelphia debut.
Stammen (3-4) gave up one run on five hits, walked one and struck out five
over 6 1/3 innings to pick up his first win since June 29. He had given up a
total of 11 runs in his two previous career starts against the Phillies,
including a nightmarish outing in April, when he recorded just four outs.
Adam Kennedy collected four hits, scored twice and knocked in a run for the
Nationals, who have won three of their last four games.
The story entering Friday's series opener was about the newly-acquired Oswalt
(6-13) making his first start for the red-hot Phillies, winners of eight in a
row. The right-hander allowed five runs -- four earned -- on seven hits and
walked two in six innings to absorb his third straight loss.
Philadelphia is hoping Oswalt, who opted to waive his no-trade clause to
leave the languishing Astros and join the Phillies on Thursday, can be just as
successful as last year's trade deadline pickup, Cliff Lee, in helping the
club reach the World Series again.
Oswalt's first pitch in a Phillies uniform resulted in a leadoff triple for
Nyjer Morgan, who scored on a Kennedy groundout to give Washington an early
lead.
Stammen singled off the glove of first baseman Ryan Howard to begin the third.
Oswalt then hit Morgan before Kennedy dropped down a bunt. Philadelphia
catcher Carlos Ruiz fielded the bunt and threw to third with the intention of
getting Stammen. However, nobody was covering third, which allowed Stammen to
score with ease. Morgan took third on the play and came home on a Ryan
Zimmerman sacrifice fly to make it 3-0.
Willingham's two-out double increased the advantage to 5-0 in the fifth.
The Phillies finally got on the board when Jayson Werth homered to leadoff the
seventh, but the Nationals countered with three runs in the bottom of the
inning off reliever Chad Durbin.
Willingham walked to load the bases with one out for Bernadina, who doubled to
the right-field corner and two batters later Ian Desmond's sac fly pushed the
lead to 8-1.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship
(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.
One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.
Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.
