Angels, Indians resume matchup of hot teams
Baseball Betting Lines
07/22/2008 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jered Weaver will try to pitch the LA Angels of Anaheim
back into the win column tonight, when the current American League West
leaders resume a three-game series versus the Cleveland Indians at Angel
Stadium.
The Angels own an 8 1/2-game lead over the Texas Rangers in the division, but
had their five-game winning streak come to an end with Monday's 5-2 loss
versus the Indians in the opener of this series.
Angels starter Ervin Santana surrendered four runs -- three earned -- on seven
hits and fanned eight over seven frames to absorb the loss. The right-hander
fell to 0-6 in seven lifetime starts against the Indians.
Howie Kendrick finished 3-for-4 with a solo home run for Los Angeles, which is
3-1 on a six-game homestand and 29-21 as the host this season.
Weaver will try to give the Halos their 30th win at home on Tuesday, and is
8-8 with a 4.03 earned run average in 19 outings this season. He has
alternated wins and losses over his last five decisions, but did not factor in
the outcome of a 5-4 loss at Texas on July 9. The lanky righty held Texas to
two runs, one of which was earned, on seven hits in six innings during the
setback.
Weaver, who is 4-4 in nine home starts this season, owns a 1-1 mark and a 5.09
ERA in four career appearances against the Indians.
Cleveland, which is last in the AL Central, has been playing very well as of
late, having won three straight and seven of its last eight games. The Tribe
won the last two tests of a three-game series at Seattle over the weekend
before Monday's victory over Anaheim.
Andy Marte and Jhonny Peralta both homered and Casey Blake added a two-run
shot for the Indians, who are 3-1 on a six-game road trip and 18-32 as the
visitor in 2008. Starter Paul Byrd allowed one run on nine hits and struck out
five batters over 5 1/3 innings to pick up his first win since June 6. He had
lost each of his last five decisions.
Rafael Perez then gave up one run in 2 2/3 innings of relief before Masahide
Kobayashi struck out the side in the ninth to notch his sixth save.
With CC Sabathia in Milwaukee and Fausto Carmona and Jake Westbrook still
injured, the Indians will send Matt Ginter to the mound on Tuesday. Ginter was
thrust into the starting rotation on July 12 versus Tampa Bay and hurled five
shutout innings with five K's for the win -- his first since May 21, 2004.
Ginter, a right-handed Mississippi State product, is 1-1 with an 8.72 earned
run average over nine career games (1 start) against Anaheim.
The Angels took two of three from the Indians in Anaheim earlier in the
season.

NFL Football Betting Online
The San Francisco 49ers (5-11 SU, 5-10-1 ATS in 2007; 1-1 SU & ATS in pre-season) found some offensive life last week, and they will try to build some momentum on Thursday night as they travel to the Windy City to take on the Chicago Bears (7-9 SU & ATS in 2007; 0-2 SU, 0-1-1 ATS in pre-season) in an NFL matchup that is set to get underway at 8 PM ET at Soldier Field (natural turf) in Chicago.
Thursday, August 21
NFL betting odds: CHICAGO -3 (-120), Total 37
NOTABLE STAT: San Francisco was last in points, last in total offense in 2007
KEY NFL BETTING TREND: SF has lost its last seven SU on pre-season road
In the BetUS NFL pre-season football betting odds, the Bears are listed as a three-point favorite (laying -120), with the total posted at 37 points.
Here are some NFL football betting trends as they relate to this matchup (reflecting numbers going into the 2008 season):
* SF has lost 11 of its last 14 games SU
* SF has covered three of its last 11 games
* SF has lost six of its last seven road games SU
* SF has covered one of its last seven road games
* CHI has covered five of its last eight games
* CHI has played five of its last seven games OVER the total
* CHI has covered four of its last 13 home games
* SF has lost its last seven pre-season road games SU
* CHI has covered two of its last seven home pre-season games
Well, I guess we should congratulate the Bears on making their quarterback choice for the season's opening game, as they have designated Kyle Orton the starter against Indianapolis. The Bears obviously have lost patience with Rex Grossman, and what they do with him at this point is anybody's guess. But suffice it to say that there isn't a quarterback competition anymore, at least in training camp.
Meanwhile, the quarterback competition may also be settled in San Francisco, where the Niners bounced back from a lackluster 18-6 loss to the Raiders, in which they turned the ball over four times, to execute a 34-6 rout of the Packers last Saturday. However, coach Mike Nolan has stopped short of saying that, insisting that the job is still open. But J.T. O'Sullivan, the longshot of the trio of Niner signal-callers who opened camp, will start his third straight pre-season game here. Against Green Bay, O'Sullivan was only 8-for-17, and was intercepted, but he also threw for 9.1 yards an attempt, which included a 59-yard TD pass to Josh Morgan. The others struggled.
Some offensive cohesion is badly needed, in light of the Niners' dismal 2007 campaign, in which they were dead last in the NFL in scoring, with just 13.7 points a game. And O'Sullivan is the guy who is most familiar with offensive coordinator Mike Martz's exacting system, because he learned it last year in Detroit. O'Sullivan will go at least the entire first half and may even last longer. He'll be relieved by Alex Smith, with Shawn Hill doing the mop-up work. Three receivers who were out last week - Bryant Johnson, Ashley Lelie and Arnaz Battle - will miss this game too.
That may hurt a little here, especially since the Bears will be using a lot of their defensive starters. And it's the defense that has been keeping the Bears in games thus far. In fact, the defense and special teams were responsible for the first 19 points Chicago scored against Seattle last time out, as the offense really struggled with Grossman at the controls. But maybe the first-team offense has a chance to settle a little bit as it works more with Orton at the helm.
Certainly we have concerns about the Bears' offensive line, but we like the scenario for them here, especially if O'Sullivan doesn't make some bis plays. The Niners may have nowhere else to turn right now, and they have lost seven straight road games in the pre-season. Let's take Chicago, the three-point favorite in the NFL football betting odds.
CHICAGO -3 (-120) **

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.
