King Felix goes for M's in series capper with Tribe
Baseball Betting Lines
09/05/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Felix Hernandez will attempt to atone for a recent loss to
the Cleveland Indians and help the Seattle Mariners earn a split of a four-
game series with that above-mentioned opponent when the ace pitcher toes the
rubber this afternoon at Safeco Field.
Hernandez's only setback over his past five starts took place against the
Indians in Cleveland on August 15. The All-Star right-hander had a shutout
after six innings of that contest, but was tagged for six runs -- all of which
were unearned due to an error by teammate Chone Figgins -- in the seventh and
served up a game-breaking grand slam to the Tribe's Travis Hafner.
The 24-year-old has bounced back quite well from that performance, however.
Hernandez yielded just two runs -- one earned -- over a combined 15 1/3
innings in back-to-back road victories over the New York Yankees and Boston in
his next two starts, then delivered seven scoreless frames in a tough-luck no-
decision against the Angels on Tuesday.
Over his last five assignments, Hernandez has let up a mere one earned run and
struck out 47 batters over 37 innings while posting a 3-1 record. His 2.38 ERA
and 200 strikeouts for the season are both the second-best marks in the
American League.
The native Venezuelan, who sports a 2.29 ERA at Safeco Field this year, is 3-3
with a 3.22 ERA in five career starts against the Indians.
Cleveland has won two of the first three tests of this September set between
last-place teams and came through with a 4-2 decision on Saturday behind 6 2/3
strong innings from starting pitcher Mitch Talbot (9-11). The rookie right-
hander yielded just one unearned run and struck out six Mariners to end a
nine-start winless streak in which he went 0-5.
"It was nice to see Talbot come back and have a good outing," Indians manager
Manny Acta said. "He's been struggling a little bit since he came back from
the DL. [Saturday] he was very good, threw a lot of first pitch strikes, had
that good changeup and a good cutter and gave us seven solid innings."
Cleveland gave Talbot an early cushion by scoring four unanswered runs off
Seattle starter David Pauley over the game's first four innings, with Hafner,
Asdrubral Cabrera, Shin-Soo Choo and Michael Brantley all coming through with
RBI singles.
Pauley (2-7) did last six innings and surrendered the four runs on seven hits
while striking out five.
"I think Pauley wasn't as sharp as he has been," said Mariners manager Daren
Brown. "I thought he left some pitches in the middle of the plate, he had
trouble getting his breaking balls over early and they just sat on the
fastball and took the sinker away from him."
Ex-Indian Russell Branyan had a solo homer for Seattle, his second of the
series, and finished 2-for-3 in Saturday's loss.
Acta will hand the ball to Jeanmar Gomez in this afternoon's finale, with the
rookie filling in for originally-scheduled starter Justin Masterson due to the
latter having to attend to a family matter.
Gomez has made seven starts for the Indians this season and gone 3-2 with a
very respectable 3.08 ERA, though he's 0-2 with a 5.52 ERA over his last three
times out. The young right-hander did pitch decent in an August 28 matchup
against Kansas City, allowing two runs on six hits over 5 2/3 innings while
not receiving a decision in his team's 4-3 win.
This will be the first-ever appearance against Seattle for Gomez, who's just
1-2 with a 5.79 ERA in three starts on the road this year.
Though these teams have split six meetings this season, Cleveland has taken
seven of its last eight games against the Mariners held in Safeco Field.

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.
