A's clip Mariners in 10th

Baseball Betting Lines

05/19/2010 - Oakland, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kurt Suzuki's two-out RBI single in the bottom of the 10th inning gave the Athletics a 6-5 win in a back-and-forth battle with the Seattle Mariners in the finale of a two-game set.

Suzuki came up with runners on first and third with two down in the 10th and knocked a fastball up the middle past the sprawling Matt Tuiasosopo for the game-winning hit.

Jack Cust drove in two runs for the A's, who have won two straight after dropping five in a row.

Ben Sheets allowed four runs on eight hits in 6 2/3 innings, while Craig Breslow (1-1) picked up the win after tossing a scoreless 10th.

Casey Kotchman finished 2-for-4 with two RBI for the Mariners, who have dropped four straight and six of seven.

Felix Hernandez gave up three runs on 11 hits in six frames, and Brandon League (3-4) was saddled with the loss after allowing the game-winner in 1 1/3 innings of work.

Daric Barton doubled with one out in the first, moved to third on Ryan Sweeney's single and scored on Suzuki's base hit for a 1-0 A's lead.

Rob Johnson tied the affair with a one-out solo blast to left in the third, but the A's came right back to score two on Cust's two-out single to right in the bottom of the frame. Sweeney and Suzuki scored on the play after reaching on back-to-back one-out hits.

Seattle tied the game in the sixth. Chone Figgins led off with a double followed by a Franklin Gutierrez walk. Both advanced a base on Jose Lopez's flyout to left and scored on Kotchman's single off the wall in right. Kotchman was tagged out trying to reach second on the play.

The Mariners took the lead in the seventh. Josh Wilson singled and stole second. After consecutive outs and an Ichiro Suzuki intentional walk, Figgins lined a single to left to plate the go-ahead run.

But the A's rallied to take the lead in the bottom of the seventh. Sweeney singled off Kanekoa Teixeira, moved to second when Kurt Suzuki was hit by a pitch and scored on Kevin Kouzmanoff's single off Sean White. After Cust struck out, Eric Chavez nailed a sac fly to deep center for a 5-4 A's edge.

Seattle tied the game at five in the top of the eighth as pinch-hitter Mike Sweeney drove home Ken Griffey Jr. with a one-out sac fly off Andrew Bailey.

Albert Pujols to be This Year's Home Run Champ Says Online Sportsbook

Barry Bonds is a 50-1 long shot to be this year's home run champ odds.  The favorite to be this year's home run champ is none other than Albert Pujols, however.

Now that Barry Bonds is signed and in Giants camp, it is on to his pursuit of all of sports most prestigious records: the all-time home run mark. Bonds sits just 21 homers shy of tying Hank Aaron for the career mark at 755. Word out of Giants’ camp is that Bonds is the healthiest he has been in a few years. Bonds is just two seasons removed from his injury riddled 2005 campaign where he played in only 14 games and hit only 5 home runs. He did come back last year and had a solid season hitting .270 with 26 bombs. All eyes will be on Bonds this spring and summer not only because of his home run chase but his highly publicized steroid abuse allegations. If and when Bonds breaks the record, he surely will not get the positive attention one should for breaking a record that was once thought of as “unbreakable”. Despite Bonds decent season last year, he is just 50-1 at MySportsbook.com to lead the MLB in long balls this season.

Not surprisingly, the favorites to go deep the most times this season are Albert Pujols 5-1, Ryan Howard 6-1, David Ortiz 8-1 and Alex Rodriguez 12-1. With 49 homers, Pujols finished second in the National League behind Howard (58). Pujols is considered the favorite due to the consistent power numbers that he has posted since breaking into the league in 2001. Also one must consider the fact that he played in 16 fewer games then Howard did due to an injury. Howard smashed 58 homers in his first complete season of big league play en route to the National League MVP odds award. He silenced his critics by successfully hitting left-handed pitching. Howard also displayed the ability to use his power to the opposite field. Two attributes which should keep Howard amongst the league leaders in long balls for years to come. From the American League representatives, David Ortiz leads the field. Ortiz was second in the majors last year with 54 home runs. Except for 1999 when he only played in 10 games, Ortiz has improved on his home run numbers each year he has been in the majors (1997).
