Bourn, Astros use three-run 10th to beat Padres

Baseball Betting Lines

07/02/2010 - San Diego, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Michael Bourn started a three-run 10th inning with a two-run triple, and the Astros took a 6-3 win from San Diego to kick off a four-game set from Petco Park.

Jeff Keppinger singled in Bourn to make it a three-run game and finished with three RBI overall. Jason Michaels homered and had two hits for Houston, which won a combined 17 games through the first two months before going 14-14 in June.

Chris Sampson (1-0) pitched a scoreless ninth for the win and Matt Lindstrom closed it out for his 19th save. Starter Brian Moehler went 5 2/3 innings and was charged with just a run on four hits.

Luke Gregerson (2-3) was roughed up in the extra frame to take the loss, San Diego's third in four games. David Eckstein, Chris Denorfia and Oscar Salazar recorded runs batted in, while starter Jon Garland surrendered three runs on six hits with a season-high six walks in five innings.

Gregerson recorded two quick outs in the 10th, but ran into trouble with back- to-back walks to Humberto Quintero and Oswaldo Navarro. Bourn broke the tie score by lacing a triple to the right-center gap and Keppinger added insurance with a base hit to right. Lindstrom retired the side in order to make the rally stick.

Michaels belted a leadoff homer to open the scoring in the second and Keppinger later added a two-out, two-run single with the bases loaded for a 3-0 edge.

San Diego got on the board in the fifth courtesy of a pinch-hit RBI single from Denorfia, then tied it with two in the seventh off Wilton Lopez.

Nick Hundley led off with a triple and came home on a sacrifice fly by Salazar. Tony Gwynn Jr. followed with a base hit, advanced on a balk and scored on Eckstein's single back through the middle.

The Padres couldn't capitalize on a Chase Headley two-out double in the eighth and Houston stranded a runner at second with one out in the ninth.

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.
