Rasmus, Cardinals dominate Braves
Baseball Betting Lines
09/09/2010 -
Atlanta, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Colby Rasmus went 4-for-4 with a pair of home
runs and four RBI as St. Louis dominated Atlanta, 11-4, in the opener of a
four-game set.
Skip Schumaker went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run and two runs scored while
Brendan Ryan added two hits, two RBI and two runs scored for the Cardinals,
who had dropped their previous two.
Adam Wainwright (18-10) bounced back from a rough first inning to get the win
as he was charged with three runs and seven hits with seven strikeouts over
eight innings. He snapped a four-start losing streak.
With the win and Cincinnati's loss to Colorado on Thursday, the Cardinals
trimmed their deficit in the NL Central to five games.
Derrek Lee clubbed a two-run home run while Jason Heyward and Eric Hinske each
drove in a run for the Braves, who have dropped six of their last eight. Jair
Jurrjens (7-5) was tagged for seven runs on 10 hits with a walk and two
strikeouts over just 3 2/3 innings.
The loss moved Atlanta to a game back of Philadelphia for first place in the
NL East. Also, it trimmed Atlanta's wild card lead to 1 1/2 games ahead of San
Francisco, which plays San Diego later on Thursday.
Atlanta plated three runs in the first inning to take an early lead. Omar
Infante led off with a single that saw him move to third base on a pair of
throwing errors. Heyward followed with a single to score Infante and Lee later
added a shot over the right field wall, his 17th home run of the season.
St. Louis, though, answered to the tune of five runs in the second. Back-to-
back one-out singles were followed by an RBI single from Pedro Feliz. Ryan
later added a two-run single and Schumaker then hit the first pitch he saw
over the right field wall for his fifth home run of the season.
The Cardinals made it a 7-3 game in the fourth as Randy Winn's sacrifice fly
was followed by a solo shot from Albert Pujols.
Rasmus led off the fifth with a shot over the right field wall to give St.
Louis an 8-3 lead.
A two-run single off the bat of Rasmus in the sixth extended the Cardinals'
lead to 10-3.
Atlanta, meanwhile, struggled to get baserunners as over the next six innings
Wainwright faced the minimum. The only batter to get on base was Nate McLouth,
who led off the fifth with a single but was then forced out when Infante
followed with a double play.
In the eighth, McLouth led off with a single, but Infante again grounded into
a double play and Freddie Freeman struck out.
Rasmus' solo blast in the ninth made it an 11-3 game while Hinske added an RBI
groundout in the Braves' portion of the ninth to account for the final score.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds
With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.
Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season. Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money.
This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy. A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:
Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame)
Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma)
Troy Smith (QB, Ohio State)
