Tigers chew up White Sox
Baseball Betting Lines
09/07/2010 - Detroit, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Justin Verlander pitched seven strong innings to lead the Detroit Tigers to a 9-1 win over the Chicago White Sox in the continuation of a four-game series.
Verlander (15-8) allowed one run on five hits with seven strikeouts for the Tigers, who bounced back from a 10-inning loss in Monday's opener and won for the fourth time in their last six games overall. Brandon Inge belted a three- run homer and Johnny Damon added a two-run blast in the victory. Jhonny Peralta added two RBI for Detroit.
Freddy Garcia started on the mound for Chicago but left after two innings with lower back stiffness. Garcia (11-6) was dealt the loss with a line that showed two runs allowed on three hits. Lucas Harrell provided four innings of long relief and was charged with four runs -- none of which were earned -- on six hits with two strikeouts and three walks.
Juan Pierre posted two hits and scored the only run for the White Sox, who fell to four games behind the AL Central-leading Minnesota Twins. Chicago also saw its seven-game win streak halted.
A slugger from both teams left the game early. Detroit's Miguel Cabrera lasted six innings but felt soreness in his shoulder, while newly-acquired Manny Ramirez of Chicago exited after he was hit by a pitch in the eighth.
In the home first, Damon's towering two-run homer to right gave the Tigers an early lead.
The Sox trimmed their deficit in half in the top of the third inning. Pierre hit a one-out double and scored when Omar Vizquel followed with a base hit to right field.
However, a four-run effort in the bottom of the third moved the Tigers ahead for good. Harrell replaced Garcia to begin the stanza and the first batter he faced, Austin Jackson, reached first base on a fielding error. Jackson was then bunted to second before a two-out intentional walk to Cabrera.
Don Kelly ripped a single and Jackson scored, and another ChiSox error put two runners in scoring position. Another two-out base hit by Brennan Boesch brought home Cabrera and the rally was capped via Peralta's two-run double to right field. Peralta was cut down at third to end the frame.
From there, Verlander cruised. He worked around a two-out single in the fifth and tossed a scoreless sixth. In the top of the seventh, A.J. Pierzynski hit a one-out double, but Mark Kotsay and Pierre both flied out.
Robbie Weinhardt closed it out with two scoreless relief innings for Detroit and in the eighth, Inge provided more insurance runs with a three-run blast that cleared the wall in left.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.

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.
