Baseball Betting Lines

05/10/2008 - San Diego, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Garrett Atkins went 3-for-4 with a run batted in, as Colorado took the opener of a three-game set, 4-2, from the San Diego Padres.

Brad Hawpe ended 1-for-4 with a pair of RBI for the Rockies, who have won three contests in a row. Matt Holliday added a solo homer and scored twice.

Aaron Cook (6-1) got the win after he pitched seven innings and only yielded one run on three hits. Brian Fuentes earned his fourth save of the year, despite giving up a solo homer to Kevin Kouzmanoff in the ninth.

Brian Giles hit an RBI double for the Padres, who have lost five in a row and seven of their last eight. Kouzmanoff had a solo home run in defeat.

Jake Peavy (4-2) took the loss after he was touched for three runs on seven hits in six frames.

A Colorado rally gave the Rockies the lead back in the sixth. Willy Taveras led off with a single, and moved to second on a throwing error by Peavy. Omar Quintanilla then offered a sac bunt to move the runner to third. Holliday then drew a walk and stole second, followed by Todd Helton's walk to load the bases. Atkins added an RBI single and Brad Hawpe cracked a two-RBI single to right, and it was a 3-1 ballgame.

The Rockies tacked on another run in the eighth, as Holliday led off with a homer over the fence in right center-field.

Stanley Cup betting

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.

The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.

MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.

Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
